Server Down Time

[ssternal]

Per Russ at EA Sports, there will be down time at 8AM EST tomorrow Aug 5. Perhaps this is in regards to the new tuners?

Re: Server Down Time

Hopefully, but I'm not getting my hopes up.

If I were the developers, I would take my sweet time releasing the patch/tuner update because the community proves, with the exception of a few, that we are a bunch of whiny, immature brats.

Regardless, tomorrow would be nice.

What tuners? For what?

I take great exception to this. I don't like paying sixty dollars to beta test a video-game. As it is right now, the dynasty mode is unusable. I'm thrilled that they promised a fix for it, but this is something that should have never made it past their dev team in testing.

You can play at least five seasons without noticing a damn thing. Honestly, if people weren't on here looking for sliders and see that others have issues deep into their dynasties, they can get years in without noticing a damn thing but how great this game is.

And sorry that you take exception, but I've been reading the threads in the days since EA said they were fixing all of this. They did this community a great service by mentioning one of its members so we KNOW they see this place FOR SURE now, and how do people react? With the same crying, whining and bitching they do every time something is off.

Sure, it sucks that the game wasn't perfect out of the box, but its being fixed and the developer made a damn nice effort to keep us in the loop and unfortunately, 90% of the people treat them like ****.

When I buy a product I expect it to be finished

+1 Can't agree more...too many whiners

Re: Server Down Time

You can play 5 years...however, after that, the game is unplayable. And with the new tuners (whenever they arrive) you have to start new anyhows.

Really? Are you an EA Sports rep? Cuz if not, you know jack **** just like everyone else. For one, the last EA game that used tuners did NOT have to have franchise/dynasty restarted.

The game isn't unplayable. Just because the depth charts are jacked *5 YEARS* into play doesn't make the game unplayable, and again ITS BEING FIXED. You act like there hasn't been a damn blog released WITH AN ESTIMATED TIME THE TUNERS ARE COMING OUT.

Man, I swear. Half the people don't read ****, and the rest make up lies. Like 1% of us are just NORMAL.

Getting angry in the AM over a blog isn't very normal IMO, just correct dudes false information and move on

Re: Server Down Time

Hell, in the blog they even try to give you some kind of idea what goes into the development cycle so you can see how a bug like this can "slip by" - you're so on your high horse "wah-wah, I expect it to be finished" that you have no idea the complexity involved in making the game as great as it is... then they realize something is amiss and ARE FIXING IT.

You ain't the only one who bought it, don't act elite.

You dont have to re-start! Who told you you need to start again? It will fix the issue as soon as the next time you recreate the recruiting board, season starts!

Not angry at all... just bored of seeing the same posts over and over again with the same whining and bitching, by the same people that will praise EA's name if this tuner set is even a slight upgrade... I'm not a EA fanboy either, but geez... the company can't win - I mean WOULD YOU make an effort to reach out to this community with the way people in general act? I wouldn't...

Actually I do understand the complexity. Re-read what is said about the updates for it's political nature. Ian Cummings or whoever wrote that statement never actually states why the game is glitched, he just spews out a plethora of deterring stats and states, "it's so many things to get right somethings slip." In reality these things don't slip. My friends are game testers and they told me the specifically put in catchable bugs so they can release updates--in these updates they sneak in codes to cut off hackers and modded boxes. Not only is this comming from a reliable source, there is no other logical explanation for them to miss such minute things.
