Purpose of the 27 beta?

So I genuinely am confused as to the logic of a beta test for Madden 27 that is strictly limited to people who purchased the priciest pre-sale bundle that includes CFB27 as well? 

Based on the comments in Madden 27 hub from people who were invited and shared thoughts there, almost 100% of those users were brand new to this site. More importantly, an overwhelming portion of that group clearly show how casual (that’s being generous) of Madden players they are in their feedback. 

Meanwhile, you have an abundance of players who have been on here for YEARS. People spending actual time to post here, time and time again, release after release, highlighting the same core 7-8 issues each year (approx) that date back to Madden 24 as that is the oldest Madden forum that is still active on this site. So these same people who detail these same core issues (literally thousands of posts/comments) and keep their fingers crossed that next August will be the year their feedback is finally rewarded to only be dissapointed once again are not quite literally the EXACT people you would even have a beta release for theoretically? Especially so, when considering that this is the first time, ever, for a game released every year over the past 30+ years that a beta release has been offered.

I’ll share what I think. I think the feedback was so awful for Madden 26 even for this forum’s standards that this is quite literally the least EA can do and spend ($$) to give off an impression that players rapidly growing frustrations are being addressed after this years excuse of a game.

 I think that the same incorrect and missing content that still has not been fixed from when Madden 25 launched and then still existed when Madden 26 launched (down to the unique item specific to each team; I refer anyone who thinks I’m exaggerating to one of my 100+ posts/comments about this specific issue dating back to Madden 25 early release in August 2024) as if it were a copy and paste replica of the same incomplete game, and as of the time of this post still persists. I think it will still be there after this beta closes and when you sell an incomplete game once again to the public once again calling it new.  

This is smoke & mirrors plain and simple. Provide me a single logical argument against anything I said and I will gladly apologize.
