Forum Discussion
Thanks Denchiks37 . Your posts are very well-written and articulate the points very accurately as I see things as well. I would prefer to have an open discussion with some of the developers themselves to see their input on this. I would also like some transparency between the market analysts and shareholders to see if there is even a discussion that happens about what platforms these games go on? I would assume shareholders are likely just not AWARE of the markets on PC or Switch when it comes to these games, if they knew the PC platform was nearly as large as the entire console market combined, would they push and advocate for a PC release for NHL and UFC? Do these discussions even occur?
It's deeply disappointing to see that no matter how much we try, we are basically blockaded by a company who only puts forth the minimum amount of effort to keep communications through a community mod. And I don't mean any offense to folks like EA_Aljo who I'm sure is only the doing the best they can to answer questions everyday. There were rumors about a discord last year which never materialized, I would like something like that though to be able to actually communicate with the devs themselves.
There was a dev that participated heavily here several years back. They spent a lot of time breaking down gameplay and going into great detail on mechanics. A lot of people appreciated it and let them know. While many others were really rude, accused them and accused them of lying. So, while I would love more developer involvement, they're probably better off reading feedback and using that to help shape the game. Spending a lot of time responding when it isn't appreciated just takes away from working on the game.
