I am sorry but this team is the biggest joke I have ever seen..I have NEVER in the time I have played The Sims have been so disappointed and seen such quiet and sorry excuse of a team...

Their communication plan is the worse I ever seen...
They better change there way of communicating or they are going to continue to lose customers and this is going to keep going downhill..

-shakes head- This is RIDICULOUS!

They literally released a free patch in April with more content than a Stuff Pack.
We also got a Podcast with an explanation of how they choose and announce packs.

They then told us THIS MONTH that a SP, GP & EP are coming in the next 6 months, that the next patch will have 350 swatches for base game items and that the next announcement is at EA Play.

That’s PLENTY of communication in 2 months. They can’t reveal content until they know the date it’s officially coming, but I feel like people are just ignoring all the communication we’ve had.

People aren’t ignoring the communication, to many that communication is just not good enough. Fine if you personally think it is but that’s a pretty pathetically small amount of info to me. The free patch wasn’t anywhere near a stuff pack in my eyes, just some random leftover bugged out bits. I don’t care about their explanation of how they choose when they don’t actually give any new info or make it seem like they’re listening at all, to me that just sounds like constant pr covering their backs. Then telling us packs are coming without ANY info when or what they are, again, why on earth would I care about that??? Obviously packs are coming or the game is over. Again this is just my response, it’s cool that you have a different response, you do you, but don’t act like those of us who are disappointed in what we see as a real downturn in a game we have put so much time and money into and obviously want to love again, and know could be incredible if any real effort was made to address communication problems.

Personally I think their current strategy and team reshuffling is a straight up disaster lol but i still love playing and I’m not ignoring what they say, I’m just disappointed

Without announcing packs that aren’t ready, what exactly do you want them to say?

We know what’s coming in the next patch, we know what types of packs we are getting until November and we know when the next pack is being announced? They have told us “when” but they aren’t allowed to tell us “what” until it’s the same quarter it’s being released.

How is that “poor communication?” Please enlighten me.

They can’t announce what the packs are. But they’ve told us everything else.

And your comment about how the last patch was “just some leftover bugged out bits” is totally inaccurate and laughable.
We got a new type of career, and 3 new careers, a whole bunch of new clothes and a whole bunch of new objects.

They could have sold that as a $10 Stuff Pack if they wanted. But they gave it to us for free.

How is that “bugged out bits”?

You’re going to be disappointed if you want to know what packs are 12 months in advance. They’ve already previously said that when they announced Get Together too early, and had to delay it, it messed a lot of things up for them and they wouldn’t be able to do that again. Not only that, but only a small amount of content was ready to show so there was huge negativity when Get Together was announced (bigger than the base game if you were on the forums) and now it’s a fan favourite.

Announcing things to early just seems to cause more negativity, because when EA announce content, people assume what they show is all they’re getting. So EA need everything ready before they’re ready to announce.

Simmers did that to themselves when EA tried to announce things way in advance.
