It's been obvious for a while now that the people working on this game at their new studio don't know what to do anymore.
What the hell is this?
They blocked players from playing solo/with friends against bots (the vast majority of people bought the game just to play for fun) in PORTAL mode, imposing impossible restrictions on it to function – and then they create a farm for easy scoring...
Yeah...
I posted elsewhere, for more context:
Unhinged rant incoming. What the hell is EA's problem? Is there any representation [somewhere]? Any way to get through to their super dense manager's heads? They publish a custom, solo-start, HIGHLY asymmetrical game of pistols versus defibs, and give it full progression. They act like we are drooling idiots and they are protecting us from ourselves, and then do whatever the hell they want to do. It is highly insulting. Just makes me want to burn it all to the ground. Why don't we get progression for FAR less abusive gameplay?!!? They published something where you can solo, trap bots, play with the objectives to stop progression of the round, and literally get hundreds of headshots in a row against defenseless bots. But that is fine!?!?! What is their argument at this point for why they crap on us and destroy any desire for anyone to play our creative content!??!?! Insulting. Screw them. They sold us a feature, ruined it, and then do whatever they want just to insult us and show who is in charge. Bait and switch. NEVER again. Let their company die in the middle east. It's clear that they are lying about why all our experiences have no progression and are barely treading water. So, what's their response? What's their justification? Give us a real reason. Don't lie to us and insult our intelligence. Is it a power-trip or fun to be a villian of a half-dead company?
