I came back to the forums just to see if there was already a discussion going on about this.
As a co-op, only player with my partner, we cannot stand this cool down implementation.
We turned off cross play weeks ago, and yes, it does help with the freeze offs. But there is still the consistent, desyncing that occurs, when skipping the Pinch Hitting cutscene.
Got stuck in a 90 min. freeze off, the game ended out of nowhere, and I got saddled with us three hour cool down! This cannot be a feature in the game! No gamer should be punished from playing a game out for up to three hours! Period!
Until they can figure out all of the freezing issues and connectivity issues, the cool down must be removed. It is simply out of control.
