WHY ARE EA AND GHOST IGNORING THE SYNC ERROR PROBLEM??

Title says it all. This has been an issue for well over a month now, and since update 1.4 it seems to have gotten worse. Is there a hot fix or patch coming? If so, when is it expected to be finish...

@Kidvybe @Chevalior go check out the Need For Speed sub on Reddit. A post just went up, detailing update 1.5 which is supposedly coming on Thursday. Lots of QoL improvements, and the sync error issue might be fully fixed. (Guess we’ll have to risk it all and see) No mention of anything being offered to those who lost everything due to the sync error. Don’t know why I expected something, given this is EA we’re talking about

@Brucely We will have to risk it?? Oh hell naw I agree with you 100% but this update/fix needs to assure us that the problem will be fixed. Now I see why people decided to glitch the game for more money EA just fumbled the ball on 4th and inches and did not recover the fumble...

  @EA_Barry Thanks for the link. Really excited about the quality of life improvements, and look forward to playing this game again once the update goes through. Let's keep our fingers crossed regarding the sync error crashes being fixed, because if it continues you might be condemning a franchise to death just as it was about to rise from the ashes of irrelevancy. This game has got the potential to revive NFS, and I know I'm in the majority when I implore EA to not drop the ball on this one.

    well I tried the game this morning and still got sync error 4008000 on xbox one. so obviously the update didn't work and we will be waiting another month or two

@Kidvybe Yeah the patch notes just say "several fixes for instances where item sychronisation would fail". So if you take that with what EA Barry said above, it doesn't instill much confidence that they've figured out and fully resolved the issue.
