every other ea game has the program, and almost all are very successful. so the one at cg is the outlier? I don’t know so can’t comment. a general statement about companies: culture in any company is ultimately top down.
there is a lot of constructive criticism on these forums in addition to the whining and negative pointless criticism, but it is so rarely officially acknowledged, or is only after a crash and burn, that it makes you wonder: is there a ‘we know better than you so stop pointing things out and go away’ attitude? i have no idea.
talking up other ea games once and a while worried cg that some of their players would migrate away to a competing game? if true, here’s my response: improve THIS game and make it BETTER by tapping into the player base. it will be competitive in the market and you will retain, and attract new, players. business basics.
isn't there some verbiage in the forums posting guidelines about not being critical of cg in these forums? thus, the following is NOT critical, but rather constructive, feedback: cg, please listen to your player base and consider its suggestions more often.
