These server issues are bullshit. They really should have had save states for the FM so people don't lose it. Or a way to submit it to Capcom to prove you have a certain amount or something. People are gonna lose their shit once they can't get Alex from this week's play.
A patch will come, but fans shouldn't have to wait for that shit to happen. The system was horrible from the very start - a reliance for online when single player elements are still on is a recipe for disaster. I don't even wanna try the other modes besides Versus and Training, because I don't want my FM to get wiped, and I only get an hour or so before I have to trek to work.
So I'm a little irate that they relied on being connected to single player things.
That all being said, this game is fantastic. Someone posted a Nash video about him stealing meter, and that's the kind of shit I love to see - new tech that isn't about being broken but opening new possibilities to how a character can be used. I'm sure some broken shit will drop, but it's always great to see videos like that crop up on the first week as people explore the game.
Despite the issues, the game is totally worth the money for me. Maybe not everyone. Hell, if I was more interested in the rest of the coming package I would have waited, but I already see myself plunking in too many hours this week alone. Let's go locals.
Anyway, I hope the online stuff gets cleared fast and people get a little compensation.
