Season 4 connection issues.

Let me be clear, I have not had any connection issues with any game in over a year, and I've been able to play the past 3 seasons of Skate. perfectly fine and yet I'm starting to think about dropping the game all together because the developers won't fix the problems, so let's start with this.

Ever since season 4 released, I have not been able to load into the game. I've probably accumulated a good 4 hours of effort trying to get the game to just work and nothing happens.

I downloaded the Steam version and the EA version and neither of them work, I've repaired my EA game files and verified my Steam game files and that didn't work either. I've deleted and re-installed both versions, still nothing.

I messed with my network settings... nothing.

I messed with the game settings... nothing.

I've restarted the game 10 times and restarted my computer 4 times, still nothing... and the servers are perfectly up and running, people are posting on the reddit every few minutes and I just have to watch. So I know the servers are up and I know I've done nothing wrong.

I made a post about it and everyone else has had this problem before but I've tried every possible thing they said fixed theirs and yet it didn't fix my game.

Hey EA... how about you fix your game before releasing new content for it? Also that "map" is pitiful. The tutorial island despite taking no effort is still big enough to be called a map but the stadium? that's just an 'area' not a 'map'.
