Lol, yes, it’s just a game. Whether you see it as a football sim or a card-collecting RNG slot machine, that’s what it is. A game. Nothing else. Hypothetically, if EA shut the game down tomorrow, would anything important happen? No. Life goes on.
Not even going to touch the ethics of pack luck because we all see what’s in the game.
I stated facts without emotion or agenda, and definitely not dishonestly. Having worked in IT and networks for a long time, I’ve got a decent idea of what EA has to consider when dealing with the two elephants in the room: latency and gameplay. It’s not a case of plugging in a server or two, then adding a few links so everything magically works. Same with gameplay. The significant issues aren’t fixed by pasting in a new random code and hoping for the best. If it were that simple, the issues would’ve been gone weeks ago.
I’ve explained how networks, cloud, and virtual systems work in the context of the game plenty of times, because it’s clear that a lot of people posting here don’t get it. And that’s fine, not everyone is tech-savvy. But if you don’t understand how it works, don’t go around throwing accusations at others or acting like someone’s being dishonest just because they’re not yelling about it the same way you are.
Which brings me to another point. You clearly missed my earlier responses in the feedback thread about the update being an overall regression. With the game state as it is now, PVP is a waste of time. H2H is broken. VSA isn’t far behind. I just log in, tick boxes, and log out (keeps the league happy and competitive). Until EA ends up fixing things, whenever that is, there’s no point doing more. Definitely not worth stressing about something I have zero control over.
No one is forcing you to play. If you’re frustrated that the game is far from a desired state, or that a few influencers or randoms got better pulls, that’s for you to manage. Maybe step back for a bit and get some other perspectives, because constantly venting about things outside your control isn’t great for your mindset.
Food for thought. Take a breath, go for a walk, do some reading on the subject, and then maybe try posting something constructive instead of barking at the moon. 2c
