EA Blames PS4 Day-One Patch For Instability Issues

EA Blames PS4 Day-One Patch For Instability Issues

A has released a statement today saying that the crashing, freezing and bricking in all PS4 games (not just EA's) is due to Sony's day-one patch. Sony has released a firmware update for the PlayStation 4 that is required for many features on the console. However, this update also results in stability issues while playing games on the system. 

This affects all games on the PS4, including EA titles, causing crashing/freezing and non-responsive connections between the player's console and their TV Screen.

Unfortunately since it's an issue with Sony's firmware, it requires a new update to fix it. Sony is working to resolve the issue as quickly as they can. They will update their System Update page as new versions are made available, and we will keep this page updated as we find out more.

A representative from Electronic Arts responded to this story saying: "The message on EA’s Help site was posted in error. Players with questions about PS4 connectivity can visit https://support.us.playstation.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5102 for the latest updates."

The original story appears below

In a post on the official Electronic Arts help forums (which has subsequently been unpublished), the publisher claimed that the recent firmware update for PlayStation 4 has resulted in "stability issues while playing games on the system."

Earlier this morning, Sony asked for patience in the face of some connection issues due to high levels of traffic. However, the post from Electronic Arts claimed that the problems caused by the 1.5 update "affect all games on the PS4, including EA titles, causing crashing/freezing and non-responsive connections between the player's console and their TV Screen."

Since this is an issue caused by the hardware's firmware, the blog says, "Sony is working to resolve the issue as quickly as they can." While GameSpot has not experienced any significant issues with either the network or games on the PlayStation Network, we've reached out to other publishers to see if their titles have experienced similar issues

Update: EA's statement has been removed (likely att the request of Sony)

The official release date for the PlayStation 4 is November 15, 2013. You can preorder PS4 from Amazon

You obviously don't understand that a monopoly is bad, unlike the game, and EA are being hypocrites blaming Sony for stuff that EA does all the time.


I never said a monopoly was good, just that on this occasion that were the lesser of two evils.

The question is did the 1.50 update cause issues or not?
Whether EA have ever done the same is completely irrelevant and sounds more like a diversionary tactic.

EA shifts blame to somebody else? You don't say.

That's the one thing with consoles I guess - Since they're all the same they just blame the console developer instead of the consumer (like they do with BF4 problems)>

These people forget gaming is a business, they foolishly think developers are doing it for their own enjoyment when that is never the case.

The indie devs might do, but they are shunned by PC gamers and usually completely ignored.
