That's another case of EA trying to force the game into another form, be it RPG, MMO, or whatever the cool thing to do. I remember SimGuru Graham telling us at MTS this game was created for those that don't visit the forums and find the past iterations too hard. Either the hard core simmers would have to jump on board or be passed by. Well, lots of the hardcore simmers decided to let it past by, they don't want to jump on board with a game that doesn't have true fans simming in mind. Now EA wants to send out surveys, open up threads for ideas. Why now? I know you all didn't want us to give any suggestions before, but asking now for ideas looks very suspicious. Didn't it all work out the way you wanted? Now you want to cater to the hardcore simmer? Again I SMH.
Your post is the absolute truth. They did pass the hardcore simmers by in hopes of attracting a new generation of simmers. They should have focused on all the hardcore group and made a game we would have loved. They would have had more success. A lot of the new gamers that are just starting that have never played any other sims game, they don't know what they have missed out on. They see the sims 4 and think that's the best there is. They can't understand why people that have played the sims from sims 1 on feel the way we do about all the missing features that were left out of the game. I think EA finally sees what a big mistake they made with this game. That's exactly why EA will never state how many games were sold because they are so ashamed of the small sales number.
