@Wollcott I never said I don't believe in you or in what you're saying. But..
"We can just be happy they are adding a few to TT, GP and online"
No, we can't. We shouldn't. At least I can't.
This is not satisfactory.
This is almost pointless (if you can only use them in a few specific modes and if you can't use them in the most popular game modes).
I also don't doubt they make efforts to do all of this - to build the game and to try and fix it, etc. BUT.. that's also not satisfactory at the moment - the game is still a mess and we are actually helping them by complaining and telling them what is wrong with the game and what kind of stuff we would like them to add and to do and how to fix the game, etc.
I think it's up to THEM to come and say "hey, we can do this", or "hey, we can't do that" - and it's also a shame that we get very little info (replies) from them as well.
This topic - just like a lot other topics in this forum - was created to try and put some 'pressure' on the devs so they can understand how important some things are for the players and then the hopes are that the more 'pressure' we make, the bigger would be the chances of them doing what we're suggesting and requesting.
But then when some of the players come and say the devs can't do this, the devs won't do that (because of "A", or because of "B", or because of "C"), etc, that just doesn't help at all - not to mention it creates antagonism between some/all of us here and even give EA good excuses not to say anything and/or not to do the things we're asking for.
So, I'm sorry if this sounds a bit rude - not actually my intention, but - if you don't agree with this or any other topic's request/suggestion, then just don't say anything.
People can help by adding their voices to the requests, reply asking for the same things, clicking on the 'me too' or 'XP' buttons, etc.
Sure, people can disagree on things and it's more than ok to discuss any topics in a friendly way, but at the same time if it's not gonna actually add and help the topic positively, then it's better to just keep it to themselves.
Anyway..
I still think we should be able to use the new tracks on any and all game modes, including and especially on the career modes and on the regular public lobbies rotations.
I still think we should have more and more tracks added to the game.
And I think it's a shame we don't have these (and a lot of other) things (but instead a lot of issues) in the game.
IF it's actually possible to do it or not - for legal or any other reasons - I don't know and it's up to EA to let us know.
I can only HOPE these things happen, simply because it would make the game a LOT better.
