Suggestions to EA from an SQA Engineer
Some very good suggestions.
Hope you don't mind but I think there are some other enhancements that can be made;
a) have a dedicated problem section within this forum and have an EA moderator and team working to resolve them and keeping us all updated.
b) have a dedicated improvments/enhancments/suggestions section within this forum..... as above
In both cases we feel that EA are currently ignoring the end user and are pretty annoyed as some have spent loads of money, indeed I'd suggest much more than a premium game for a console.
c) the game should be rotatable and the houses placeable along all four axis, this way you could create proper roads with buildings either side as they are in real life and in the Simpsons.
d) remove the floating dogs head from above Springfield Downs. All other floating items collect rewards whereas this is just to confirm you can place a bet on the dogs if you wish. Could be replaced with a red/ green light to indicate when you can and cannot place bets.
e) make Willy move when he plays the bagpipes, if Apu can be made to be a walking and animated character why can't Willy, it would be brilliant if you could hear him play as well, would also be good if Cletus moved around whilst whittling away.
f) mystery box, it would be great if as you were using premium currency you only got premium currency items within it of at least the value of 6 donuts, that way you'd know you'd be getting value for your donuts.
g) for the land you can't buy, this should be the same colour green as land purchased, this would make the game a little more seamless when adjoining un-purchasable land, like the small strip at the base of the mountains and the land by the waters edge.
I'm sure that there are many more improvements that could be made and here's hoping EA are reading these posts on their forum and start to react to them.
