It's back up for me here in az.....not sure for how long though. PS4 btw.

If you're having issues playing your digital games, make sure you activate your ps4 as the primary system in the settings.

I'm on PS4 and just finished an online franchise game. I had an issue where I got disconnected after completing my weekly training, and I got disconnected right after I finished my game, but I loaded it back up and thankfully it saved.


This concerns me going forward, never knowing when a server issue could cause me to lose data. A preseason game? The super bowl? The 5th round of the draft?


I'm starting to regret going online with my CFM but starting in offline mode is gonna be a chore.

And this is why I have an offline for CFM and online CFM.

Hopefully this answers the question to the cloud vs offline CFM lol

This is trash.

I didn't mind so much when the servers were down today, but now that it's time for my friends and I to draft it does suck a bit. It's tough to get a day that works for all of us, and now we'll have to look to another day.

Re: EA Server Issues (Update: EA/Blizzard were DDoSed)

This is exactly why I no longer buy digital versions of these games, and don't play online.

Give me a physical disc and an offline solo mode and I'm good.


There are too many jacktards running around who want nothing but to cause people grief.

Sorry for all those that are unable to play their games because of this, I know it sucks. Hope it's back up for you guys soon.

I know!
I only buy discs, only use tele-modems for Internet and lol at HD tvs.
Not on my life. I got a "CRTs only" tattoo on my calf.

PSN being down doesn't stop me from playing my digital games either, as long as the PS4 I'm playing on is the active console on my account.

Try again?

Not a PS4 example, but there have been times when Xbox Live was having issues & I couldn't play a digital copy of a game. While physical copies worked. It happened with Witcher 3 a few times.

This makes no sense at all.
The disc downloads onto your HD just like the digital.
I have seen your exact quote above many times concerning many games and it simply is just not true. I am at work or I would spend the time to post the article that has been posted many times when it comes to this.
Again have a digital or physical copy has no effect at any time when it comes to playing a game. They are one and the same.

That why there was the big DRM fiasco when these consoles were released. Not sure about ps4 but I know that Xbox one "checks in" with its servers every so often to make sure you still own the rights to a game.

I'm all digital on ps4 and never had an issue playing a game when it's servers were down.

One thing forsure, DownDetector is an outstanding service. Had no idea it existed. Things look to be on the up and up.

It's about time somebody beat a hacker with a baseball bat and posted their battered face on Twitter.

That would stop hackers.

I think this thread should win the most ignorant filled thread of the year. It's clear a lot of you guys have no idea about how digital downloads work.

It is hilarious what people don't know on here.
It reminds me when I first got internet access and my grandpa tried to explain to me how evil it was.
I actually read a comment earlier today on a different forum in which someone said that once Playstation and XBOX go completely digital (and it is coming) that that would be the end of them ever buying another game. Made me crack up!
I am guessing the same people that hate digital copies of games do buy digital copies of music now and have no problem with that. lol
No one quit buying and listening to music once iTunes came out.
It makes no sense at all!

I'm not sure if reading this thread made me feel smarter or lowered my IQ by 10. Stunning.
