If a certain football game had issues like this in back to back releases the forums would burn. SDS needs to do a much better job communicating, but doing their due diligence to prevent this from happening again. Two years in a row has moved this game from a Day 1 to a "wait for the kinks to be worked out" purchase.

I agree 100% No way I'm buying this game next year on release date. I love this game but I'm so disappointed that it still has server issues and games aren't saving. Like you said this game usually gets a pass on this site but if this was madden they'd burn it to death. I'm in a league and we haven't been able to start because it's so unreliable online. The Devs are also very vocal before the game releases but now are no where to be found.

For a company that is built mainly around revenue from DD this is sad.

DD is a online game in every way and to not have servers built to maintain the level of daily users is unacceptable.

Small studio or not, to not invest time in the fundamentals of online play is inexcusable.

The deafening silence from Ramone, and all their various twitters and so on is by far the must frustrating thing. The game is literally unplayable right now because 95% of games dont count but they havent even apologized or said they are working on it. Horrible PR.

Totally agree. This is no longer a yearly purchase from me after this mess. I only play this game online. There is no reason for me to buy this game every year if they don't invest in fixing their servers.

I'm still puzzled as to why there are no real coaches or managers in DD. It's jarring to see generic versions of the real guys when the real mangers and coaches are in franchise. I almost don't want to play DD games because of this. What's the reason?

The server issues have to be apart of a bigger issue they aren't telling us about. It's been going on for too long. A lot of cards this year are behind a paywall but the server issues make it to where you can't get those cards even if you pay extra for PSN+. It's almost like a bad joke they are playing on us.

What cards are behind a paywall? Honestly asking

I love this game and think it's one of the best, if not possibly THE best sports game, in a long time. Will not only be buying it next year but I plan to buy the $99 version to get the extra stubs.
