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.

  • Sounds like the reputation system on Xbox. Except on PlayStation players can only leave positive feedback. It would've been more popular if players could leave negative feedback for toxic players.

    @OskooI_007 Are Xbox players able to leave negative feedback on that version of the accolades system?

    I think accolades are a good idea to try and reward team players for helping to create a pleasant gaming experience for all involved.

    My problem is that I can never think to use them during the match because my focus is on other things. Then when the match is over and I want to reward that great player or squad with accolades. Finding the accolades menu at this time and the player I want to give them to is an annoying process.
