So valid feedback and criticism doesn't get reported because people report it in an annoyed manner?
Community ManagerCorrect. Chances are excellent what they're commenting on has already been reported, but the messages that make their way to the devs are detailed and constructive.
The passion you all have for the game is appreciated. I feel the same as many of you as well, but when it becomes more of a rant, that's not really very useful feedback since it's more about venting than telling us what you like/don't like about the game. Just saying the game is bad and throwing in some rude comments isn't exactly good feedback.
Respectfully, does the team even listen to feedback from the community? I can only imagine how frustrating your position is and I don’t mean for this to come off as an attack but it feels like all of the criticism from the community is either ignored or given an awful response (TOTY for example). I understand it’s a business at the end of the day but it just feels like money is their only focus rather than their consumers enjoying the game.
The developers and content team needs to be more vocal with the community and explain things. They basically only communicate directly to content creators or we have to wait for a response from you which I think is not fair to the community or you. Not all players go on the EA forum, HUT Reddit or watch HUT content creators. Great example, all previous years in HUT 99 overall fantasy players had 99 speed, now they all won’t and it was only communicated to content creators that it wasn’t a mistake. Why was this changed? Why weren’t these changes communicated to the community when the Fantasy event was released? It’s just simple things like this that frustrates the community and drives people away from the game as months go on.
Community ManagerThat's all very fair. I understand how you feel. So, the devs don't interact any longer. There was a time they did, but due to community backlash, they stopped. It would be great to see more communication and I know that's something we want to do.
As far as 99s and attribute ratings go, there is no rule saying that every attribute needs to be 99. The OVR is 99, but that doesn't automatically mean they get 99 speed. It's entirely possible there will be 99 speed items in the future. The current ratings are a design decision though and that's not based on how those items were treated in previous games.
Thanks for commenting on the 99 overall cards. At least we now know it's intentional that the two 99 overall Fantasy Hockey cards don't have 99 speed/acceleration, although I still don't understand why such a decision was made considering how expensive Fantasy Hockey cards were to build this year.
But can you explain why Dylan Cozens ended up having lower speed than Anton Lundell at 99 overall when his 80 overall base card has higher speed/acceleration than Lundell's 81 overall base card and his 85 overall card has higher speed/acceleration than Lundell's 88 overall card? None of those cards are custom builds, so even if it's intentional that they don't have 99 speed/acceleration at 99 overall, how does it make any sense that Cozens has lower speed than Lundell?
With all due respect buddy and I really do mean that.
Why should people not be able to rant when they've paid good money for a game that was advertised as having issues fixed from the previous year which turns out to be a fib.
I'm sure there is many people out there like myself that at release were kind of pee'd off at things not being fixed but thought it would be fixed by at the most the end of 2025.
Its 2026 and the gameplay fixes have been non existent. People are rightly annoyed and its only fair that the dev team take the flack for it, especially Mike, the one that told porkies in the promo.
Community ManagerAgain, the frustration is absolutely understandable. I'm just saying, that feedback is far better received when it's civil. That's all.
