Career Mode Rematch Ability

[Gnemi]

So I picked up this quite expensive item from the catalog @ 2,000 credits and it no longer works.

It worked for a few games, but now my in-game menu does not allow me to select the "Rematch" button.

Anybody else experience this? I guess it's a glitch, because if this is a consumable item, that's ridiculous. Like, only 3 uses or something?

I haven't bought the item, but I would imagine it would probably expire after 3 uses, after all, what would the point of Career mode be if you can rematch every game until you win all of them?

It's not as though it's based in reality, so why does that matter?

I used it as a way of quickly restarting a match against an opponent I enjoyed playing, rather than the tedious and annoying Forfeit Match / Reload Save game.

Either way, I have buyer's remorse. What a waste of credits.

Updated to say that I think the reason for the issue was that I was not logged in during the match where the ability to Replay was disabled. It is very likely because the server has to communicate with my Career save game to let it know that I have paid for that "perk".

I just reloaded my saved game, was logged in at the time, and the Rematch ability was there again.

Glad to hear your issue was resolved.

Only worked when logged in?

Yeah, I think it's like most things that are available from the catalog. To access those items, you have to be online and logged into EA's servers.
