Two questions:
1. If management is going to say no to the things most people want in the game, why does it keep on sending the gurus for feedback? They already know what we want by now, don't they?
2. If management doesn't send the gurus for feedback but they're asking for themselves, what's the point if they know well that management has set its limits. Why ask the same question over and over again if they know by now what are things that'll never return, because managemente has told them so? Why create debate at the forums, why create the forums for that matter? As I see things, the 'feedback department' isn't working. At least not that I know.
I know those were more than 2 questions, lol, but they're all about the same. Why ask the customers what they want on a product, why all those surveys full of wonderful descriptions of possible amazing EPs if they know they can't give us what we really want. Example, the pools. They patched the pools in without the diving boards. Why? Was it so difficult to include one single object? And those pre-patch pictures in Twitter, they made the people think there were going to be diving boards. Again, why? Why put our hopes up with each hint if in the end diving boards weren't going to be. Another example: careers. They keep on saying there are two careers on the next patch. People is asking if that will be all, they don't give a proper answer. They either keep silence or say things like, 'those two are the ones we are working on". Why not say the truth, that it will be only two careers this time. No, they rather make the people believe there's more so they remain hooked. So it's either a lot of hype about nothing or a complete silence. Either way things are never ever clear.
You know, at this point I don't believe absolutely anything of what EA says, even worse I don't care anymore. I play Sims 4 as well as 2 and 3. I play 4 as it is, knowing that it won't be improved. Things will be added, shiny new objects and stuff that will probably add to the gameplay, but the things we are repeatedly asking, yelling for? I don't think so.
I may as well play Sims 5 IF it's ever released and if it is taken care of by people who love the sims as much as I do. And they will need to have a better and straightforward PR team. I'm sorry, but EA's silence isn't gonna sell EPs, if anything it will keep on making things unclear and dissapointing their customers. We want the truth and nothing but the truth.
