What good reason would there be to keep foreign servers rolling on a game based around a US sport?

Every trophy is offline at least the ps4 version.  I have the plat and it's a very easy one. 

Edit: sorry, there are 2 minor online trophies that require to create a challenge and publish it.  I f orgot about it because I never tried the online mode so automatically assume there were any online. trophies involved

I would have thought that was obvious.... #4thegamers?

Excuses.

They have done this too early.  Though it isnt as bad as the GT5 one.

Its just forcing purchase of the new game.  Its very simple.  I dont blame them. But lets not give them a free pass purely because its Sony.

Evidently it's not obvious considering a few posters from the first page think this implicates users in the US as well.

And I'm not giving anyone a free pass. Sports games are crap to me; just seems odd that there might be a sizeable community of players living in other countries playing video games based on American sports.

After they shutt down the servers for GT5 this doesn't surprise me.. but still is a let down.. that their games have short lifes on the Online department...

Anyone knows if infamous 2 servers are down (it had a mission creation/sharing mode with trophies)? I have pending that Platinum to compelte some of these days...

How long after GT6 did they shut down the GT5 servers?



 

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

Oh it's only Europe then? Not to bad then, but that being said I think sport games should have there online active atleast 2years. So should have happend when MLB 16 releases.

With the sales listed at 0.00 million for europe on all 3 versions I doubt this is going to upset many people, tbh I didn't even know it was sold over here... well If I gave it some thought I'd probably realize it was but never really thought about it. 

Sony are the ones with the figures for people that actaully use it online, it's probably next to nothing.

It was a question surely, the clue is the ? at the end.  A question I answered.

What is the fact you are referring to?

Mine was a statement, the period at the end , the clue is a . 

 

I am not spelling it the obviosu to you, and are you always this rude to people?

Nah, his posts that i've seen are just.... shall we say 'strongly worded'.

Really though no one plays this game in Europe... it's as controversial as netflix getting rid of the 1984 series of coronation street in South Korea.
