I figured I will start a new thread. I know many of us are very frustrated with what has been happening with solo battles for maybe over a month. Would be good to get an idea of what time this is really happening and if it is related to some other event that EA is pushing. For instance, I know that EA did something with Angry runs/most feared yesterday that wiped out the 3 legend packs I had just earned in Solo Seasons. But anyway, I plan to play through my 13 Solo Battle games to Legend by at least 12pm EST on Saturday. If Solo Battles stops for you please post what time you tried it so we can help to narrow this down.

It seems fairly obvious what's happening, which is what makes the lack of a fix so infuriating. It doesn't seem tied to a particular time, with the exception of the weekly reset.
1. Players seem to be able, once the weekly battles start, to be able to play as usual.
2. If players exit the game and then later play again, the solo battles no longer work. Entering the solo battles screen shows a blank rewards screen, which would indicate that the game is triggering the end of the current solo battles early, after the initial play session, but before the actual scheduled end of the weekly battles. That also explains why we all see the rankings screen and also why the weekly reset makes the games available again.
3. The problem for EA is to figure out what is triggering that early ending for affected players. So, can anyone affected by this think of something unique that might have done it? The only thing I can think of is that I usually start with the featured battle, but I've skipped it the last few weeks (I. e. The weeks I've been affected) to play some low OVR teams and try to level up before the season ended.
I hope someone here will post if it gets fixed. I'm done for now. I see no value in continuing to spend time and money on a game that is broken and shows no sign of being fixed.

@DeadSer Hi, #2 Isn't valid for me. typically I start on Friday and continue to play on Saturday up until around 1pm EST. I had some extra time and wrapped up Legend today on Friday. I closed everything down and I was able to still get in on restart to play more games. FYI - It seems like they changed the Legend rewards this week. I wasn't focused and didn't pick what I really wanted so pay attention.
- DeadSer1 year agoSeasoned Vanguard@Eventualcrowd16 Thanks for that! I was really only going by what I had read in posts on the thread, and it seemed like for most people, including me, that it was a one and done. The more info we can give, the better chance they can fix it. Thanks for the tip on the Legends, too!

I always do the featured game. This week I have the solo battles. I am making sure I completely close the game each time I stop, even for a few seconds. That is the only thing I did different this week, and this week I haven’t lost them so far. I had gone three weeks without.
