I wonder how this relates to the 2.0 update exactly. Seems weird.

not going to blame it on their netcode?

I guess they might've been expecting it to work on the old firmware seeing as 2.0 only came out a few days ago. Shame tho :/

Nothing! I said nothing!
Hopefully they extend it then.

Game never went live. Don't see how it can be the net code.

COD comes out on monday. There won't be many people to test if they extend it to monday.

There could be any number of backend changes we're not privy to, especially when moving from 1.x to 2.x of an OS.
That said, the dev should've had access to 2.0 before us, so they should've been aware of most or all of such issues. Likely, they were aware and thought they could everything patched up in time for the alpha, but are now realizing they're gonna fall short.

And the hits just keep on coming. 
Good thing Evolve is only in Alpha stage and there's plenty of time for Sony and Turtle Rock to turn things around.

What does this even mean?
It means if the lackluster online experience continues on ps4 a drop in sales will be expected.
I was going to post something similar - unless a last minute change was made to the firmware that introduced a bug?

It's too bad Evolution never did this to see the result, Driveclub might have come out of the gate in much better shape.
I've played some online matches on PC.
They're simply just struggling under the load. Which is to be expected, that is the entire point of these alphas, to gauge server and network load.
So.. all games?

probably trying to turn off SharePlay functionality in the alpha

I don't think an Alpha is a deal breaker.

Sony is really messing up this Holiday smh.
I mean it was already p much confirmed that Sony had no chance of winning November or December because of the Xbone holiday deals.
Hah, it's an alpha. Better to know if things are broken now than when the game is released. See Driveclub.
theres no NDA for the alpha.

They're not concerned about NDAs with this alpha.
True. I just think major gamebreaking issues to the point where 2/3 of your platforms don't work should be addressed before an Alpha.
Yes, Microsoft deliberately screwed up Sony's 2.0 update.
Other than your feelings that it really shouldn't have happened, do you have a reason why your point has more credibility than the word of the devs? It's alpha software which they had packaged and ready to go, and in light of the new FW update (which has recognized issues), it's suddenly not functional. So whether it's by someone's word or a very obvious way the scenario played out, I don't understand your assertion.

Perfect!
Been playing on my Xbox One. PS4 one is preloaded on my console, so it will likely run later meaning more play time in the long run!
Sucks for those only with a PS4 yes.

The entire point of this is to find issues and fix them. *Any* issues.
Xbox One players are having trouble connecting too... I've yet to actually get a game going.
2014 is the year of the idiotic conspiracy theory.
Have you tried today? It was really bad for me yesterday but has been solid for the last ~3 hours I played.
WTF? We know that MS had a deal in place for the early alpha, but you think it also involved borking their own game on 2 other platforms? Hope this is sarcasm.
