Latest from EA saga

You tranferred me to the next level. I was on hold for 97 minutes. Was tempted to take photo of phone. Tried playing for 6 hours yesterday. Save file destroyed. Magically changed from new game plus to regular game Progress at 96.5 percent. SAVE AND QUIT option has magically disappeared and been replaced with a QUIT only option with resets you back to your last save point. After the optional level on level 11 we played through level 13 and the progress saving never appeared. Of course when i used the quit option i was reset back to the beginning of 11. Tried the co op mission over and over for 6 hours. reset to not complete every time. Unfortunately I had copied the save to the flash drive before i noticed that it was no longer new game plus . I am about ready to give up. I don't even want to sell the game because I feel I will be stealing someones money. Too bad EA doesn't feel the same way.

Finally talked to a real person at EA that seemed to understand the problem. I am playing this on another (4th) ps3 console that never had DS3 installed. No download content, no nothing. Disconnected from the internet. Original disc -NOT UPDATED VERSION. have played standard game - save slot 1- with virtually no problems- BTW- you will get 3 bots anyway- don't buy them- . I am now on level twelve on new game plus- save slot three. 100% on most levels except i cannot do any co op playing like this. The co op levels are usually where my game freezes or the save file gets corrupted. I will let you know if i can make it out of the armory mission without a freeze. I have -so far- been able to walk right through the autosave points that destroyed my save files before. So if I make it all the way through a complete new game plus- then what???? Are we all supposed to delete our game data files, do not download or buy any addons??  never play co-op???
