Lack of response from devs
Where is the response from the devs? Are they accually just going to ignore the top issues with the game ( for example, xbox players can't turn off crossplay ingame and arw forced to either turn it o...

The game just released five days ago. I'm not here to defend any developers releasing unfinished games, but I actually think they've been pretty good about addressing issues and providing updates via Battlefield Direct Communication on Twitter. They just provided two new updates today, have removed items in game that aren't working and reintroducing them after they are fixed. Game still needs a lot of polish but I really think it has a ton of potential and they are providing updates...so far. Just hope they keep it up.
@BIEKERT I understand what you're saying, but if people did their job the way EA or DICE does, they would have been fired long ago.
@Spez_ixx I hear you. It can be frustrating and again, not defending EA/DICE but I think a lot of people forget how bad the launch for BF3 and BF4 were and they ended up becoming amazing games. I think the other challenge is that Battlefield games are so epic in scale compared to other shooters and I think, at times, they bite off more than they can chew. I would have been happy if they rolled out these game modes separately with All Out Warfare first, Portal and then Hazard Zone. I think they all have great potential but all need work. Despite all that, I have really been enjoying the game and look forward to future (hopefully sooner rather than later) fixes.
- @BIEKERT BF4 had love in it. This feels stale. But you're right, patience is something we all need. The only problem is... release is right around the corner and this is still a mess. I can love a mess, don't get me wrong, but this isn't release material. Fingers crossed for that November 19 update.

Where I was previously in software companies, the heads of involved VPs, Directors and Managers would be rolling right away if anywhere near as embarrassing poor quality and lack of control as in what we see here from EA.
Its not just a small little area it is wrong with. Its throughout and across the entire product.
From cheapish looking and poor design decisions, obvious lack of customer input, clumsy and illogic menu navigations, not intuitive, missing basic functionality, severe bugs across all elements in the actual gameplay also, across maps, soldiers, weapons, gadgets, vehicles... and on and on and on...
And total stonewalling their player/customer base.
It is honestly staggering.
And even then, having the nerve to launch it and demanding relatively big money for it at this broken stage.
