Personally I cannot believe this is intentional by FM, due to the fact there's an online event teams event running, I doubt they would throw that into chaos and piss off every team owner in the game (not to mention skewing the results), just because some people are exploiting the save/restore to win an Aston Martin Vantage from quite early in the game or 75 gold.

My theory is some sort of actual server crash or DDOS, due to the fact it's everything that's down, and some people are reporting their team has completely disappeared when they can get a connection. However, as ever the FM support is typically abysmal - they should be ashamed of themselves at the lack of information, no other company would remain so silent when their entire player base is banging on their door asking what's going on. All we need is a notice SOMEWHERE - FB, twitter, EA website, FM website, that there is an ongoing server problem and they are working to fix it. For all we know they are all sat in their office watching Home and Away (although to be fair it is the middle of the night in Aus).

I'm holding off doing anything until it's resolved, in case there's any data loss, and capping screens of my progress to make sure I don't lose anything when it comes back. Glad I finished the Gauntlet last night before all this kicked off!
