Whilst I would love to agree with you abou that, how did that go for likes of COD? They always do an open beta and the game is still a mess, the amount of people that participate in the beta has no clear indication that it will improve the quality of the game.
It could possibly be about server space, as we all know it doesn't seem to take much for the fc servers to become overwhelmed, just look at content time on any given day, the servers slow down tremendously. Nobody would be playing the beta because the servers would be trashed from everyone trying to get on.
Back in the day, EA used to release versions called "Demos", and they were available to everyone — up until FIFA 20. The real question is: why did they switch to closed betas starting from FIFA 21 until now? Maybe I can agree with you when it comes to servers and other technical issues, but overall, I believe everyone should have the right to try the game before buying it.
A closed beta is different from a demo release. A demo gives you access to a small portion of the game as a trial, a closed beta is playing an unfinished product to help the devs by giving them feedback, pointing out bugs or glitches, and so on.
I know that, but what I meant is that it would be great if even the beta was available for everyone to share their opinions. Anyway, I personally always get a beta code, and even if I don’t, I can try it through some of my friends — so it’s not really a big issue for me. I just wanted everyone to be able to take part in it, but if that doesn’t happen, it’s ok.
