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.

If Driveclub huge update that makes significant improvment to the game, perhaps critics should do a new review.

But for online features that will eventually be fixed, I don't think a review update is necessary.

Frankly, we should be more concerned about what Sony is going to do to compensate players and less concerned about critics.

BF4 launch was worse and went on for nearly a year. What compensation did EA give for that? I paid for the season pass like a lot of others and was pissed off with it. At least Driveclub with the discount was very cheap and is the sort of game you'll play offline more. 

I remember i had to restart the campaign in bf4 3 times just to finish it because the save data was being deleted. Online was unbearable for months and months. How many reviewers revisited that or gave it crap scores? 

My point is driveclub got the flack because it was a hyped exclusive. BF4 got it's good review scores just like AW and frankly the reviews have no reflection on the product people will actually buy at launch. You shouldn't give special treatment for 1 game and not another. Gears of War 2 is another example. Stellar reviews but the game was hideous online for months and months.
