Exactly what i'm saying. I know a ton of guys who own a PS3 and don't have internet access to download patches. Now I know a ton of guys are going to come in here and say that's crazy, and that everyone should have internet access these days.

That's just not the case, believe it or not, some people really aren't well off enough to afford internet on a monthly basis. Yeah they may have afforded a PS3 and can buy the game, but they don't pay for those monthly. It's a sad situation that they let something like this get into the final retail build of the game.

Pretty remarkable. I have a PS3 so I'm pissed. A few posters above were saying how modern games seems to always release with bugs now that older games didn't have. The new modern game development workflow = we are essentially QA. Pretty genius by them because they don't have to pay for QA, and we still buy the games.

Pretty sure you can download the update to a thumb drive and then put it on your console. Now if you have zero access to the internet in this day and age, best of luck to you.

Now now people, let's not all jump on EA for this... It's just not the compassionate thing to do... We're all human... We all make mistakes... Think of Jesus...

Yup, over the course of this gen (since online passes came in) people have always gone to gamestops in particular/poorer cities or parts of town to buy used game cause 99% of the time the online pass will not have been used.

PS3 users all over the world are in for a rude awakening on August 27th. What makes it even sadder is that the ps3 user base had to inform EA "u know this is broken right." EA and Sony just don't mix this gen.

Lol at the community event people fronting that the demo is so old when HUGE bugs like this are in the final build. I mean, you can't get a bigger bug in ANY game than to have the players on the screen disappearing. EA really saved their best for last.

The community event people only played it on xbox, that's probably the problem. I went back and looked at the community videos, every single one of them is on Xbox. I guarantee you they would have caught it.

Do they just not test the PS3 version of the game? This is just something that blows my mind. I know they just port the game to PS3 but come on, invisible players, in the final build? How? Just how
