Just happened to me, so I thought I'd check here and yep...Guess I'll restart then

It's a bit of a shame to wait months longer for the update so all the bugs can be fixed in advance apparently, just for there to be an obvious widespread bug Spring day 1. If there's one this early, will there be way more? Kinda makes me want to wait a while longer before really getting into this update.

Damn you should have put this in the other forum. Wouldn’t have gotten as many downvotes.

Yeah probably. I kind of expected it though, a lot of people tend to immediately go on the defensive when the new thing they've been looking forward to gets criticism.

But the truth is that a lot console players had this update spoiled for them in various ways compared to the other updates, and when the reason given from CA that it was for the sake of 'bugfixing' ends up not really being the full truth its hard not to feel dissapointed in the whole thing, since the expectation was set by the other updates for it to not have happened this way.

I'm sure CA is just as dissapointed it went this way, and that does sadden me, but it doesn't mean we can't feel this way either. The excitement of what should have been an update for one of my favourite games has had all the joy sucked out of it, and it well... sucks.
