Workaround is a GAMESAVER!!
About the ea servers, I just noticed that I too just lost connection and now my game isn't going to save either.. Is this going to be an issue or do you think they are just "tweaking" it since they expect the game out in a few hours? I mean, it's only a very small percentage of us using the servers now...what happens when 300000 connected careers fire up in the next couple of days?
Now exactly why shouldn't we use offline? Ea supposedly updating the online first? Something like that?
