Thanks for the heads-up, it has been added. The game seems to be delisted already, it was removed from EA Play on 2021 but it remained available on PS Store until earlier this year. Can anyone with EA Play confirm if it has been locked for people who claimed it before? It's random which ones gets locked or not, but I think as this one is very old, it might still be available through EA Play even after delisting

Some upcoming EA server shutdowns, all for January 19, 2023:

 

Gatling Gears

Mirror's Edge

NBA Jam On Fire Edition

Shank 2

 

Of these, I believe only NBA Jam On Fire Edition has online trophies. It seems that Shank 2 has a mode that is easier to do in co-op. I haven't played any of these games so please chime in if you have more information!

It seems that EA has a new page for their service updates and these four games are no longer listed? I would bet they were omitted accidentally when the new page was set up, and they’ll still shutdown on January 19.

Can we name a couple of old EA games that are still open excluding Battlefield and pure p2p games? I'm sure more will follow, Merc2/RA3 was I believe 3rd wave that started with NFS games which they announced Shank 2, Mirror's Edge, and Gatling Gears shortly after the 11/9 Shutdowns. I can start naming Brutal Legend (ranked matchmaking) and SSX (heavily relies on ghost data).

 

Syndicate as well.

Hi, does anyone know anything about NFS Payback status?

 

A friend told me that since a few days ago there's no longer Daily challenges or that they can't be accessed.

 

Looking at the trophy latest earners it does look like there's a real problem here..

Since I was eventually planning in playing it after buying the DLC in a future sale, this is annoying me a bit.

Apparently, the daily challenges went down for this game for a few days in Nov 2020, so there's hope it's the same issue that was the problem back then and they might come back up.

 

Might be an idea to check the EA forum to see if anything has been posted there about the game.

Fuck… not Mirror’s Edge. I’m still working on that game and have been holding it off. Guess I gotta move this up the priority list.

Bandai Namco has brought back almost all of the PC online servers for the Dark Souls series except for Dark Souls: Prepare To Die Edition. Why should trophy hunters on console be concerned? Because Prepare to Die Edition is based on PS3/Xbox 360 version of Dark Souls. At some point in the not-too-distant future, the servers for PS3/Xbox 360 version of Dark Souls will be shut down.

 

This doesn't mean it'll happen this year, but just keep this in mind if you haven't started on PS3 version of Dark Souls yet. You may want to go ahead and do it. The Platinum will still be obtainable offline but it is so much easier (and fun!) to do the game online.

 

A lot of this is because you have to play a lot to get various weapons to their maximum effectiveness. You can shave off dozens of hours by just letting other players give you the weapons for the respective trophies.

 

Of course, like in other Soulsborne games, it's always easier to get a co-op player to help you on the boss encounters. Not necessary in the least but for those who struggle having that help is a great boon.

 

Offline, Dark Souls is roughly 70 - 80 hours depending on your skill, and a minimum of three playthroughs. Technically, you only need to play partway on your third playthrough because the giant wolf who is one of the bosses drops a soul that is required for one of the trophies on NG++.

Hopefully then it will be fixed again. 

 

I checked and there's a post on EA forum, but looks like it's been ignored by them..

Any updates on the Ghost Recon Future Soldier server status? Is it too late to start MP trophies?

Apparently, some of the MP trophies are still obtainable but most aren't, though it's impossible to tell, because you need 8 people to start a match and there aren't many people left who are able to test them and give a definitive answer :(.

All obtainable or some modes already removed?

Fifa 16 isnt obtainable anymore, Fifa 17 is still obtainable, though its pretty hard to boost the FUT Draft Win


Fifa 18 + Fifa 19 are not obtainable on PS4 anymore because of daily challenges but are still obtainable on PS3 because they dont have any Daily Challenge trophy AFAIK.
