Strangling casual players
Hey there, So this is my first post ever here on the forums, and I am most likely going to set myself up for a "skill issue"-comment, if any comment at all. Although, I gotta say that several of t...
Conduct a survey of casual players, or just read through the posts on here and on social media - I'll wager my mortgage that the majority want to play more Squad Battles and less Rivals. For EA to ignore that...well, as a business strategy, it's condemning itself.
@Leelongy73If I was ea I would just look at the numbers in game.
It’s obvious what was happening. People played 40 games on beginner and would get higher than someone who played 12 but on say world class or ultimate.
Now everyone is playing 12 so people who play on ultimate are surpassing the people who played 12 on beginner.
Now that more people are playing because it’s only 12 it’s harder.
Again to me when you say causal 12 games helps casual. If you want 40 games to get ahead of people who can only play 12 that’s fine but it’s not for casual players.
Also the whole argument while I understand people are trying to argue for more games your actually make the point for less games.
You only got a higher rank because other people and I say casuals couldn’t play that many games.
You can make it 400. 800. 10,000 games if everyone played the same amount you would get the same rank. It only worked before because casuals couldn’t play 40 games. Casuals can now play all 12 games.
@RadioShaqs You see a decent amount of players all agreeing on the same issue here, even whilst other threads are saying the exact same thing, and yet you're in every other of these threads defending EA and the changes they've made (even the 15 games for rivals). I obviously do not know if you're getting paid by EA, but I shouldn't make assumptions either, as you're in your full right to do so, however, you do seem to be killing your own credibility.
Some of your statements also seem to be insinuating that bad players just shouldn't be playing the game this year. Especially; "Now everyone is playing 12 so people who play on ultimate are surpassing the people who played 12 on beginner." I would very confidently assume that at least 65% of the playerbase are casual players, who do not play World Class or above, and in tandem with EA's changes and what you are saying in defence of the company, it just seems to push out those 65% of players. Obviously, EA has already made their money from the game purchases, so in reality, they do not really have to cater to these 65% at all.
@thelaebySee the problem with saying I defend ea is a don’t like that ea made rivals more games. So when I say I like less games in squad battles that doesn’t mean I just defend ea. it means I like less games because I am a casual player.
But yes your right if you play on beginner you shouldn’t t get rewarded more than someone who plays on ultimate. I don’t play on ultimate either but I can still see that the system supposed to reward them better.
Everyone is basically highlighting that it wasn’t working right last year with more games. Now that more people are playing and everyone is playing the max the system is rewarding people who play at a higher difficulty not who plays more games.
I am not sure why saying if you play all your games on ultimate you should get rewarded more than someone who plays all their games on beginner is bad. To me that makes sense. That’s not saying people who play on beginner shouldn’t play.
Your basically saying if your casual you shouldn’t get rewarded for being able to play 12 games on ultimate more than someone hardcore that can play 40 games on beginner. To me that doesn’t make sense.
