Why is HUT Rivals not available today?

How many times do you need to be asked? Still enjoying the well deserved time off, while your game is not working for weeks now? 

@DaR_chuck_norris 

The team has returned today. When I have an update, I'll post it.

Oh yeah, of course you will.

This is super unfortunate given the game has only been out for a year and a half. From a consumer protection standpoint, stuff like this should not be allowed.

I realize this post wont change the outcome, but I want to emphasize how this is essentially a ‘bait and switch’ EA has pulled for everyone who paid money to own this product.

@jbPollutionTime 

I can absolutely understand the frustration with that. I'll pass on your feedback. Thank you.

I am having the same problem with NHL24.

At 5 o'clock; after getting my weeks rewards, I got the same message saying there is no more rival seasons available.

PLEASE advise EA

Hello, @Checkers608 

Rivals for NHL 24 has now ended, unfortunately. Each year, around this time, Rivals ends for the previous game.

I guess that is how you force everybody to buy the new game each year.

There must have been too many people still playing NHL24, so let's make them spend more money.

If you listen hard enough, you can hear me deleting all of my NHL content from the PS5 and 

also hear me loading a different game to play.

Happy Holidays ☹️

@Checkers608 

We're not trying to force everyone to play 25. There are still many playable modes in 24 and we are happy people still playing it. It's normal for live services of previous games to be shut down after the next game releases so the team can better support the current game. Regardless, I understand your primary mode is not available and I'm truly sorry for that. 

Happy holidays to you as well.
