Player Council
What precisely is the "Player Council" mentioned on the Technical Playtest page? Is it related to the Game Changers Program?
More importantly, what does the selection process look like?

Hey everybody,
Just want to hop in here,
If you are looking for an opportunity to playtest Battlefield or other EA titles, then I recommend you sign up on our EA Playtesting website -- which you can do, here.
Please keep in mind that we can never guarantee playtesting access, even if you sign up to express your interest.
I also want to recommend that you read the EA Playtesting FAQ if you want to learn more.
my EA account is from 2009, and still in good standing.
and I'm not part of that, Player Council thing.
only because I'm not some big guy on the internet.
not angry or anything, just disappoint that someone like me.
has used over a decade on this EA account. also on Videos/Streams.
and just gets ignored.
but did of course, pre order battlefield 2042.
for battlefield is still, one of my favorite games to play.
- @R1ckyDaMan19 Yeah pretty much, they need to stop taking their feedback as strongly if at all imo.
your on this council, but we do not grant you the rank of Battlefield.......

- @MichaelDK We are the same bud, been playing from day one (1942) run battlefield informer site for 11 years and are ignored constantly. These days if your not some big streamer then you don't matter.
Kinda sucks they judge you as a veteran by your followers.
Was excited when DICE followed us on Twitter but pointless really as they just completely ignore us. - @BFI-KinJO187 You run the BF Informer? It's a great site, very well designed.
It is a sad to see content creators get prioritized, I was fortunate to be a part of the BF3 alpha, and would love to be apart of another BF alpha test in the future. But I think the main problem is that they are concerned about leaks which were pretty bad with the BF3/BF4 alpha. I guess they feel they can control leaks better if they are dealing with well known content creators who depend on inside access for content. As Toastyamalon said, they use content creators to more easily control the leaks and obviously because they generate marketing among their followers.
I am not so in favor of this, I have been playing the saga since its inception as many of those who comment here and we were not lucky enough to be in that "select" group, no matter how veterans we are.
But hey, we still have the open beta and then the final game to continue sending comments and I will polish the game in future updates.
- @EA_Rtas Most of the upcoming playtests favor NA than other countries ☹️
I really don't understand, why Dice doesn't use the playerbase they have. Just give everyone with 500h+ hours of playtime or just really everyone the chance to Test the Game like every 2 month for a few Days.
Just send us Mails via origin to give Feedback regularly. That is Not a bit Deal and will attach the Players even more to the Game, because they feel like they can Really be Part of the Development.
Bit i guess the Problem is, that Dice just doesn't care, as long as there are enough "idiots" (like me) that are still going to Buy and play the Game. They can Not tell me that they are going to fix anything from the "Open beta" until the Release. In BFV they even didnt ask for Feedback, nowadays those Open betas are demos anyways.
