So to say the game isnt broken is hyperbole.

I play offline exclusively -- never DD, never online -- but I support those that call the game broken because it is in fact very heavily marketed as an online DD/card collecting experience, and it's almost a certainty that many more people buy the game for those modes than for offline modes.

It has to be frustrating if you're one of the people who bought it for those reasons to hear one of us offliners say, "It's hyperbole" or "Just play offline until the servers are fixed."

SDS dug their own hole on this.

This is a good point, especially if someone doesn't realize that SDS is a Sony studio. But I honestly doubt that many people at all who play DD online wouldn't already have a PS+ subscription.

Thank you. I dont get why its so hard for some to understand. If franchise was broken, I wouldnt just go to page talking about it and say too bad, play online. That would make me a pretty big jerk.

Not to fan the flames here, but even offline modes are being affected. I have had several crashes in both my franchise and RTTS that can be blamed on the servers locking up my games. One of several reasons why I have stopped playing. So while some modes "work" the game as a whole does not.

Just a tip, you can disconnect from the servers to play offline, of course you wont get rewards or anything but you wont freeze up either.

Thanks. Well aware of all the "work arounds" but I appreciate the look out.

Need more people to think this way so the servers can lighten up & I could play without hiccups...

Online was a little better for me tonight. Played 4 BR games abd didn't drop once and all games counted. Little laggy but much better experience online for me tonight.
