so reviewers should deduct points or update their reviews to reflect that.

I disagree. Reviewers are telling you their experience with the game.
A game going to crap post review doesn't reflect the experience the reviewer had.

Ok, so let me ask a very simple question. Why do we read reviews in the first place? Isn't it to get an idea of whether we will like a certain game or not? How does a review that differs vastly from the product at its current state help one decide if a game is worth his money and time?
And the problem here is consistency. Either update all your reviews (content and scores) when they give a false impression to the reader about certain aspects of a game or don't update any of them.

Its not their job to keep reviews up to date when the developer/publisher drops the ball. They simply tell you their experience with the game during the review. When critics were playing it the servers were working fine and reviews reflect that.
Also, you have to consider many critics were disappointed with the gameplay whether it be online or offline.

You fail to address the second point, which is the point of this thread. If you're gonna update your review of Simcity, DriveClub, etc, then then you have to do it with the rest of the games when there is a siginifcant change post game or not do it at all.
