In-Game chat text!?!
Where is the in-game text chat?
Forum Discussion
I personally think a chat would be filled with verbally abusive kids cursing at each other creating a toxic environment that would require EA to spend a lot of resources banning people for breaking the Terms of Service and afterwards handling all the people writing on this forum and contacting support about getting unbanned even though it's not likely to happen.
In short, I think they have probably already thought about adding a chat and realized that it would be more trouble than it's worth.
Carbonic probably nailed the reason at why there not text chat. Although it got the exact same problem for voice chat,but it don't work neither right now (at least in PC)
If they aren't going to do text chat, then they need to FIX THE VOICE CHAT FOR PC!!
It only works maybe 1 in 20 tries of pressing the press to talk button, it just doesn't pick anything up ingame most of the time.
Just to note with the voice chat. It does work, most of the time but if like me you are often is sitting in a teamspeak/ventrilo/mumble/discord voice server then the game recognizes that your input device is being used, thus it actually disabled VOIP in the background. i have tried the game with all these voice apps disabled and it worked fine.
i'd much rather have text chat than voice chat. I remembered in PVZ 1 all i heard was the wailing and screaming of little kids, it was awful.
