NHL 18 Beta Feedback Restriction

It's pretty obvious EA is doing the same nonsense they do every year, which they claim they don't, but they're only allowing access to feedback or considering feedback from the same ol "elite" players. Anybody who has common sense knows what needs to be changed or fixed in the game, but they only conform to these select hundred or so individuals who think they know anything about hockey when it's clear they don't. That's why year after year we see the same garbage in the game, because it satisfies the needs of these "elite" players that they probably employ so the rest of our opinions and feedback don't matter. Every year I see hundreds, maybe thousands, of comments for at least 3 of the same things people are saying need to be changed or fixed, yet they never change or get fixed. The majority's feedback, comments and suggestions don't matter so don't get frustrated that you aren't able to provide any for this beta. They already have their little clown minions set and ready to provide minimal to no significant feedback or changes to the game because well, if you've all paid attention to EA over the past decade, you know they hate making big changes to their games because it requires them to work hard and be diligent for once. Let's just all take the games as they come, knowing there will be major flaws and unrealistic garbage, and stop trying to get them to listen to us. They never will, they only care about their own self-interests and opinions of their own and the few "elite" plugs they employ.
  • Hey @ChewRH,

    Beta periods are the perfect opportunity to collect information on the game before release from the players who take part in the beta. We take on board feedback regardless if it's negative or positive. All we ask is that your feedback is constructive. If you are taking part in the beta could you let me know if you have followed the instructions to gain access to the board ? If that is the case let me know and I can assist you on this.

    Thanks,

    Roger.

    I've given constructive feedback, as well as other like-minded players (and I'm not talking a few I'm talking hundreds maybe thousands), for the past few years and nothing seems to register with you guys. The flaws of the game are so obvious and I would assume easily fixable, or at least improved upon year after year, and they never are. I'm done trying to give constructive feedback because it doesn't really matter in the end. You thrive on minor changes and adding features rather than addressing pre-existing flaws.

    Yes I did everything necessary to access the feedback board but it still says I'm denied access. I have the game downloaded, I signed out then back in, and still nothing. I could care less about gaining access though for the reasons mentioned above. I'll continue to buy your game because I love hockey and it's the only hockey game available across all platforms so take my money and do what you will with game development. Hasn't stopped you thus far.

    Hey @ChewRH,

    I've made some changes on my end to force the access to the forums if you do change your mind, your feedback is still welcome. You will need to log out and back in again.

    Thanks,

    Roger.
