Having a maintenance break with 20 minutes left in the season is f*cking class. What a decision.

hey guys, wanted to comment here to apologise.

as you may have noticed we actually did stop doing this the past few seasons due to the fact that it sucks for everyone who is last minute pushing.

today we unfortunately had no choice but to do it early as we found a critical bug that meant season 6 wouldn't have switched over properly, and this would have affected the entire playerbase.

we luckily managed to keep it relatively short (5 mins) so that pushers could still fit in one or two games before the end, but still i totally understand it was not good timing, genuinely sorry for that - i would also be mad.

It would have been handy to have some sort of notice beforehand. I don't know about other players, but when I saw the game was going into maintenance I didn't bother opening up the game for another 30-45 mins, despite it lasting for 5 minutes like you say.

i totally agree.

unfortunately this was one of those 'hey guys, if we dont fix this now we are screwed' moments so as soon as we knew we needed to do it, we did it. the tweet warning was the earliest warning we could have given.

we should have given it earlier if we could - i understand your feedback completely so just trying to let you know why we did what we did.
