Rush - Feedback - Suggestions
Hey guys,
First and foremost. Congrats on the Early Access Launch. Very much enjoying my time within FC 25 and have seen a hell of alot of features.
Wanted to share some feedback on Rush and provide some suggestions.
Much like I talked about during the Beta, Rush is a great Gamemode. IF the Community rallies together and provides a positive experience. What's been clear since the Beta, Players are interested, and then they seem to get bored/turned off and start to ruin the experience of others. The Gamemode itself is awesome. Just needs some adjustments.
Suggestions:
Once a Team scores 7 Goals. The match is finished - As evidence has shown with Call of Duty. The same can be said for Fifa/FC. Whereby players, once they are losing by a big margin, the % of leaving is very high. And thus, this provides a negative player experience.
Add a FF Feature (Forfeit) - A Player clicks the FF Option, if all others agree to the FF, the Game is forfeited and the Match will finish resulting in a 3-0 Loss. This is a much more positive way to leave a match when losing heavily. You leave as a Team and move onto the next match without that feeling of quitting/rage quitting - As explained during the Beta. I'd like the Devs to look at Rocket League as Rush is extremely similar. The Players react the exact same way.
Add a Kick/Vote to Kick Feature - Often Players stand around, don't know how to play, ruin the experience in any way possible. Make it possible to kick players that abuse other player's experiences. Wee're here to have a Game of Football, not leave feeling angry or disheartened by what others are doing.
Report a Player - This needs extensive reviewing/improving. Over the years, the ONLY reporting feature on PC is "report abusive name" - We don't want to report you for your name. We'd like to report you for ruining the player experience. Add Category Levels to the reporting process - Level 1: Player standing still/afk often. Level 2: Player providing toxic/abusive voice communication. etc etc.
Add a Single Player Option and keep all the seasonal perks - Not everyone likes to play online. Sometimes stats are deceiving and MAY SUGGEST players prefer online. When in fact, a big % of Players want to play offline. No toxicity. No abusive players. A calm, quiet experience playing the Game they paid for. Many Players would love a single player option to play with AI vs AI. This can also be added to Clubs.
The idea of these suggestions is to maintain a positive player experience. More often than not. Fifa/FC have a big vocal playerbase who seem to want to ruin the experience of others. I'm not sure why that is to be honest. Whether that competitive edge pushes players far beyond what Gaming is. That's a question for a forensic psychologist to analyse. But when you look at Games like Rocket League, Overwatch etc, and players all behave in the same ways, you do have to wonder what's being done to safeguard the players who don't behave like that. They deserve better.
Again. Rush is a phenomenal addition to the FC Franchise and I really hope that some of my suggestions can be added into FC 25. If not 25, then 26. Because to have a positive community, you need to provide the platform to do so.
Thanks guys, enjoy Main Launch <3
Take care.
Jack.
