So it is for consoles that there is no chat ?
It feels just ilke a prehistoric game without a chat xD
I just don't care for consoles, I bought it to play on PC. And no chat on a multi PC game is like a bicycle without wheels you know...
Its not implemented for a reason. Every multiplayer game is full of toxic people. Bioware didnt want this to happen in their games where people swear at each other if one mess up the match.
You can already let the said person know throwing powers, ragerocketing in their face and so on, that you dont like what they are doing.
Personally i like the way it is, however harder to communicate without mic but i'd rather have this than play with toxic 12 yrs old kids telling what they would do with my mom or my sister.

The reason is wasn't implemented is time. Not any kind of "toxic" reason. Console versions dont require text chat as they rely on VOIP and the systems messaging app. Plus no keyboard means its pretty much pointless for consoles.
Simply put, the devs didnt have the time or the budget to add a simple chat interface to the game code.
I was reading back then on bsn that one of the devs confirmed it was to avoid people scolding each other if one doing worse than the other. It was a quite few years ago so cant look for which post it was but if they had years to make it possible but they didnt, then probably there's a good reason why not.
Also if we look at the majority of the MP games, almost every of them have some chat interface, and even smaller companies with less budget could make it possible so i doubt time or the budget were the issues that were preventing it to happen.
Might be wrong though, but its my opinion.
While normally I would agree with you, in this case I went with my "gut". It's happened before with Gears of War, where you had to use the console to chat online. A few other titles have also followed suit in recent times, mainly when involving console ports.
