According to HMX the data save file size is the issue. If you would read the thread under support you could get more information from it. But over all they can't change or apply a fix to this area of the game because that file is in the same area as the engine core and it's very difficult to correct it.
The fix they came up with works, yes it does have a flaw, but it does let you play the game. Once your hooked and enjoy playing the game you don't have to sit and wait a month or so to be able to play again. They worked fast and addressed the issue, They could of taken the gold stars, career score, blitz credits or anything else away from us and they made a hard but right choice.
I don't think people would like it if they reset our career scores...
