Re: Season 6 X-Factor Update

@googz80 

You can still play. Yes, there are no seasons, but that doesn't prevent you from playing games. With the majority of the playerbase moving to the current game each year, we need to shift our focus there as it doesn't make a lot of sense to support the live service for the previous year's game. This happen with all of our sports titles.

There also is a lot more involved than a basic spreadsheet when it comes to auditing the results. It's understandable there's frustration with waiting. Hopefully, we can speed this up in the future.

    This is basic math.  Excel can easily take care of this!!!!!

    Why not have a season 7 to overlap the new game?  Why not support past titles as we all paid hard earned money for these?  

    All I hear is excuses in order for you to charge another hundred dollars for an UPDATE.  This is not a NEW game

    You do realize that a large number of people only play the game to play CHEL right?  And the only point of playing CHEL is to rank your player up and get your teams wins in season and playoffs.  So you pretty much have made the game POINTLESS to play.  Do you not see where a paying customer is coming from?

    Not everyone thinks it's pointless to play. There are those that still like to play regardless of having an active season. As mentioned though, our sports titles don't support live services for the previous year's game as they shift focus to the current one. This is done so we can support the very high majority of the playbase that moves to the new game.

    As far as the audit goes, again, there is a lot more than just math happening when verifying results.

    "Our sports titles don't support live services for the previous year's game as they shift their focus to the current one"

    I AM CURRENTLY PLAYING THE MOST RECENT VERSION OF YOUR GAME BUT YOU HAVE STOP SUPPORTING IT.  PLEASE MAKE THIS MAKE SENSE!!!

    And secondly,  the reason you have such a large number of poeple switch to the newer title is because of what you just said.  You have FORCED us to switch ganes as you are not supporting live serices anymore.  This is a joke right?  You do see that you just contracdicted yourself.  You said you only support the CURRENT game which is the one I am currently playing!

    You already force us to pay a hundred bucks yearly for an update, so why not at least give us the full 12 months of playing?  Why not start the new season as you do the calculations for the old season?  No need to stop us from playing hockey with rank just so you can do some basic math.  

    And keep your title running for 12 months.  We pay with our hard earned money for this game so I would expect to get a full playing experience for a year.

    The current version of the game is being replaced by the next in a couple of weeks. There isn't time to run a season while we get ready for the next game. Nobody is forced to switch games. There are those that play just to play. Of course there are others, such as yourself, that require leaderboards. It's absolutely unfortunate we're letting you down and we hate to see that happen. The feedback is most definitely appreciated.

    Get ready for the next game?  You’ve had a year to do that.  I would hope by now it’s ready to go!

    all I hear is excuses.  You have not given me one logical answer as to why EA has already given up on their game.  2 weeks till the game releases and it’s been in limbo for a week.  That’s 3 weeks.  See, that basic math is just as easy as calculating season totals.  

    EVERY person I play with ( and I know A TON of people) all agree that these games are pointless.  Maybe go look at how many people quit now because the games don’t matter.   Go look at your stats for games played now.  Guaranteed the numbers have dropped SIGNIFICANTLY.  I wonder why that is?   Not rocket science to figure out you guys have once again screwed the game for the last month.  Remember I paid full price.  Can I get a 1 month refund for my purchase seeing as though you have stopped supporting live services?

    “AND A HUSH COMES OVER THE CROWD!”

    I’m sure Nasher and Clappy are having a gay old time playing 25 while us peasants wait to buy the new update.

    I'm now locking this thread as we're only going to go in circles. I'll pass on your feedback. Thank you.
