> The main problem was that the actual simulation was being done on the servers

That was bullcrap. Soon after launch a crack showed up that made the game playable without a server connection, for the features that didn't actually need a server connection. EA just lied.

Not to mention that they made an official patch available 1 year after launch that enabled a proper offline mode :)

As for this interview, I guess mr lead designer isn't allowed to be honest by his contract.
