EA problems

Hey, I've reached a point where I can't hold this frustration in any longer. It's time to speak up about the issues that have been bothering me – your launcher, your servers, and yes, your team. Your launcher keeps kicking practically everyone out, whether it's a new session or after a reboot. It's more than annoying; it's a real problem. And let's not even start with mods. Your launcher and login screen seem to have teamed up to make sure using mods is next to impossible. Every time I reboot my PC, EA decides it's time for a login marathon. It's like a ritual, and not a good one. And don't even get me started on your email system. It's like it takes vacations just when I need it most. Getting an expired code after an hour of frustration is just the icing on the cake. I won't deny it – I'm a big fan of Plants vs. Zombies. The nostalgia, the fun – it's all there. But then reality hits. You had something great, but you've managed to mess it up. You could've left PopCap alone, but you didn't. Now we're stuck with microtransactions everywhere, and those intrusive pop-ups during gameplay? Seriously? My sister loves Plants vs. Zombies 2, and she's dealing with the same microtransaction nightmare. I had to intervene and use mods just to make the game playable without constant microtransaction interruptions. I went all out – made everything cost just 1 coin, even the premium plants. Now, about Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. I'm a huge fan, but your servers and launcher are seriously ruining the experience. Using mods for legitimate reasons? Nope, that's not happening. Let's talk about friends. This one hits close to home. A buddy of mine was excited to download the game and play with me on Xbox. What happened? Total disappointment. Trying to add a friend who doesn't have an EA account, especially someone on Xbox? It's like trying to push a boulder uphill. Your servers are as lively as your email servers – which is to say, not at all. Now, your team. I'm not mincing words here. They've invented the phrase "contact our super helpful live support," but the reality is, they don't care about us players. It's clear as day that player satisfaction isn't even on their radar. So here's the deal – your launcher, your servers, and yes, your team – they're all part of the problem. It's high time you acknowledged that. You might have spoiled the experience, but I hope there's still a chance to make things right. Thanks for listening, Irox 🙂

    YIP, IN SHORT, EA DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS PRIMARY INVESTORS

    ANOTHER YEAR ON AND NOTHING HAS CHANGED

    GAMERS ADVISING GAMERS ON EA IS RUBBISH, THEY HAVE NO COMPANY INFLUENCE OR INSIGHT

    EA ONLY LISTENED TO US ORIGINAL SIMS PLAYERS FOR PATCHES IN ORDER TO KEEP THE GAME ALIVE AND GROW

    NOW OTHER GAMES, ESP THE ONLINE DEPENDANT ONES LIKE SWARS ETC, ALL REQUIRE * SERVER NEEDS, THE CODING IS NEGLECTFUL OF ACHIEVEMENTS AS MINI GAMES WILL DISREGARD ANY UPGRADES OR REWARDS, AND OFTEN WILL NOT CALCULATE WITH ANY ACCURACY

    I WILL NO LONGER INVEST IN ANY NEW EA GAMES

    THEIR GAMING DESIGN POLICIES ARE CORRUPT AND YET THEY ADVERTISE INCLUSION AS IF THEY CARE WHILE INSIGHTING GAMBLING PRIOR TO MAKING ACHIEVEMENTS OR REWARDS

    THE MORAL HERE IS OBVIOUS AND YOUNG AND HAPPY GAMERS ARE BEING PITTED AGAINST EACH OTHER FOR SUPPORT WHERE EA IS CLEARLY NEGLECTFUL

    ALL THE BEST AND PLEASE STOP SUPPORTING THIS GREED AS IF ITS NO BIG THING

    I hear you. It’s incredibly frustrating when something that should be fun turns into a technical nightmare. The launcher kicking people out, endless login loops, and mods being near impossible to use—it’s enough to make anyone throw in the towel. And the microtransaction chaos? That’s not what fans signed up for. It’s disappointing that the core experience of Plants vs. Zombies is getting buried under all these issues.

    I totally get why you’d go the mod route just to make the game bearable. Honestly, when the official system fails to deliver, sometimes you have no choice but to fix it yourself. And don’t even get me started on the lack of support. It feels like EA just doesn’t care about its players anymore. I really hope they wake up and realize how much they’ve hurt the community with these issues. Let’s hope they actually listen and fix things.
