Game of the Year !

To be fair only one serious & ranked game mode hurts me alot... Too little for Game of the year to me. I feel like in the Groundhog Day already.

Okay, so Update 4.0 this morning (Saturday 12th December) in Australia. On PS4, with cross play enabled, and have spent 40mins trying to find a game, but getting timeout error messages every 10mins...still! Fracking fixed nothing still! See all my previous posts over last 7 weeks. This should NOT be happening! 

Yesterday, I managed to play one single quick match dogfight early evening...the first game I was able to get in weeks. Then not able to get another game all night....in either quick match, dog-fight, or fleet battles....what the actual frack? Prior to update 1.3 I was getting almost zero wait time. Was able to play people all over the world with zero lag or issues. They supposedly tweeked server settings that did nothing but completely frack it up for me. How has this not been addressed yet? WTF are the programmers/developers doing? I have new ships & cosmetics I can look at but can’t fly! Frustrated beyond belief.

So, NO absolutely NOT Game of the Year....tweeks have absolutely FUBARed this game, and I have never felt so much disappointment, anger and frustration at a gaming company as I do now for EA! All I want to do is play.

I do understand your frustration, but this does not seem a general issue. My personal delight with this version 4 is, next to superb trackir support, exactly the feature that allows us to create our own battles with your wife, sons, daughters, friends... and / or local (e. G. Australian) fan clubs. Most MP titles die eventually because most people loose interest, but if that is not your or my problem then we can keep on playing as long as EA runs the servers because of the ability to play with friends and or against bots!

This game will be played 5 years from now, I am sure of it. 

I wish..despite no lack of trying, I CANNOT get ANY games...Since Update 4.0, ZERO, NADA, NOT-A-SINGLE-FRACKING-ONE, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING...NO PLAYABILITY, AND I am still trying as I type this. See attached pics. Frack-all success in joining any game at all.

Just to chime-in -- I'm really glad that someone finally made a decent starfighter game with flight stick support...something that has been lacking for over 15 years now. Elite Arena mode was fun for a few months, then everyone stopped playing it. Squadrons is the best cockpit simulation. Now if I could only get the in-flight voice chat to work (push-to-talk)...

I indeed fail to see what a patch-bug connection and/or server issue has anything to do with a general assessment of this game !

There will always be issues with any state-of-the-art title (2077 comes to mind) yet most of these issues will be solved ... but in time.

But as I wrote ... IMHO ... this game is worth an award.

8 weeks now of Error 1066 and unable to play games online...are they kidding? Ever since Update 1.3 (Mandalorian update) I can’t play. In Mildura Australia, NBN connected with speeds of 70Mbs, on PS4 with cross play enabled. See pics attached and my previous posts in this thread!

How can it be Game of the Year, if we can’t play the game?
