Tom,
I think we all appreciate you response, and we look forward to hearing from the crew at Ghost about some of the many issues players seem to be experiencing as a whole. I think what a lot of us here, and at other boards like IGN, are looking for transparency from the developer. DICE did really good with Battlefield 4 and how they began communicating with the community about the issues, and letting us know they wanted to make it right - Ghost being a fellow developer for EA, you'd think this would be part of the playbook. And for all the press information put out about Need For Speed and how Ghost wanted to get it right, etc... and then to see that there were large, glaring issues, to not come out and acknowledge them and reaffirm their commitment, it leaves us wondering if we were duped and if it was, in fact, a cash grab (their words, referring to not including paid DLC). Their intentions were right, we can also see the ideas and passion put into the game, but mechanically there need to be fixes and I think a lot of the players want to know...should we stick around and hang in there, or maybe just move on?
