Yeah, it’s so sad (and also infuriating) what EA is doing. NOBODY in the community asked for this draft system — it was/is a “solution” in search of a “problem.” And after receiving six weeks of non-stop (withering) criticism the company that says it “listens to the community” is CLEARY NOT LISTENING TO THE COMMUNITY. It’s the absolute height of hypocrisy!
So, we are all righteously livid with EA. But, ultimately, it’s sad. It’s sad for football that a multi-million dollar corporation is so cravenly exploiting the game and its fans. It’s why when I walk away from this game I won’t be coming back to this, or any other, EA franchise — because they are exploiting the sport I love in the most brazen and insulting manner. It’s naked greed. And that they lie to our faces with this “we’re listening” crap just adds insult to injury. If they’re listening then where is the proof? Where is the acknowledgement of our feedback? Where is the action? Nowhere. Because it’s all lip service while they do whatever they want (namely, claw back value and erect ever-higher paywalls). 😡
