EA Staff (Retired)Great job not giving us a 30 day notice like shutting down a major service like community events.... way to break your own terms...
According to your own terms you should have continued to provide service, and let us know 30 days before discontinuing ANYTHING
"EA may terminate any EA Service at any time by giving at least thirty days' notice either via email (if available), within the affected EA Service, or on the service updates page of EA's website (https://www.ea.com/service-updates). After online service termination, no software updates will be applied to our games and we can't guarantee our mobile games will continue be available for download via iCloud (or other applicable cloud services). Any games available via iCloud after online service termination may be removed from iCloud without further notice to you."

Hey, EA. You've got a great shot at winning the worst customer service medal again this year. It's only January and you've already burned us without real notice. Can you please reconsider and keep the servers up for a month or two cycling nothing but the community achievement events so people have a chance to get them?
You really have to wonder why EA continuously release games and DLC with online trophies that require them to continue supporting their products beyond the standard online servers. It's a trend with EA and has been the cause of almost every unobtainable trophy/achievement in most of their games. I've been burnt by Tiger Woods 2013, NFS: The Run, Army of Two, and had a narrow escape with this Dante's Inferno, Battlefield Bad Company and this game (luckily I managed to complete the last Boss Hunt 2 hours before it ended after playing many hours for 5 days straight). It's almost as if they purposely put these trophies in their game in the hope of forcing people to buy their next version, but all it does for most of us is lowers our opinion of them and makes us very wary of purchasing the next game, in fact, I've completely sworn off all their sport franchise game because of it.
