Are PS5 Owners Okay With Accolades Being Removed Later This Year?
Did you use them? I have given a few out several times since getting a PS5 specifically for Battlefield 2042. I have also received a few of them after Battlefield matches. This is the only multiplayer game that I currently play on the console (no time for Destiny 2 nowadays) and I think that the accolades feature goes great with the team play Battlefield is supposed to stand for. Which is why I was so disappointed to hear that accolades were being removed due to lack of player usage.
Is a feature like this getting ignored a reflection of today's online player that only cares about themselves and their own accomplishments? A player that goes into online matches with no team aspirations? I think that it definitely is, but I also think that the accolades system could have been implemented much better. I can't even figure out now how to use it when playing the game. For some reason I remember being able to give accolades to teammates after the mach when I first got the PS5 and this game. Only it is not working for me at the moment. Maybe people were not using accolades because doing so felt like a chore, and if so please go and tell Sony this.
It would be a shame e for the accolades feature to disappear on PS5 for good instead of getting the necessary improvements needed to motivate PS5 owners to want to use it.
