Community AdminCommunity AdminThanks for writing up a breakdown for the forum community, @TheRealToxicJolt
I have to say though, being part of EA community for a while it's disappointing when I see comments where decisions were made because of an assumption the team is lazy. I assure you these teams work exceptionally hard around the clock to make the right decisions for both the player experience and as a business. There can be technical hurdles where a "simple fix" is not actually as easy as it sounds. Other features could break which can result in a longer timeline to push an update and of course, costs. They might have a longer term vision so making updates around X feature might not be worth the commitment if things will change in the future. I am not speaking specifically for this team, but more broad on development.
I'm curious if you have any thoughts on what the challenges for raising the OVR would be instead of increasing the AI damage? We can try to dig a little deeper in this to see if we can get an answer from the developers on this, but from my experience increasing the OVR of fighters creates a wider gap from a newer player to those that have been playing for a while. It might seem daunting for newer players to catch up or be motivated to continue playing to reach the top. I think you would have to go back to all events/campaigns and make changes to the OVR rewards to scale up as higher OVR items continue to go out. It feels like it makes more sense to increase the difficulty of the AI for everyone (since progression was made too fast anyways) so you free up resources to work on additional content instead of having to go back and make changes to other features of the game, along with additional testing to ensure everything functions properly.
Regarding the delay in abilities and Shay not knowing all the answers, @NoLlfer, he did mention to post the questions in Discord to see if we can track down some answers for you all. The Community Managers work closely with the development team, however they won't know all the answers or be aware of all existing bugs. Posting the bugs here will help us relay it up to the team. The streams are Tuesdays, do you think a Q&A post before the weekend to relay his way will be helpful? With a smaller title like this compared to mobile games like FIFA Mobile, it's important to vocalize bugs immediately because we are going to see the rare bugs reported to us on a smaller scale due to player population.
I want to lastly take a moment to thank you all for participating here on the forums and taking time out to write up feedback/concerns. We want this game to grow and be even more amazing - and you're a BIG PART of that process. The community team is here to help fight for you. We know some changes might be a miss, but we'll continue training like fighters do to elevate the game to the highest standards.
Good luck in the octagon and thank you for playing UFC 2 Mobile with us.
@EA_Blueberry your theory is lacking...new players are at a much more SEVERE disadvantage now. Most are lucky to make it through training phase with the otherworldly damage that the ai does. Then you factor in the insane amount of coins it costs to level and rank fighters....0 chance any new player can catch up with those of us that have been playing awhile before this thing they call a "patch"...it needs to be ripped off like a dirty band aid and thrown in the trash where it belongs. I know I know not gonna happen...but in the meantime you continue to lose more and more players everyday. Yourself and the other ea devs need to put themselves in a new players shoes. You download this game and can barely beat the training are you gonna continue to play? Then if you do get past training and decide to continue to play you can't play anything other than tier 1 trainings or you'll get destroyed because you can't afford to rank up your fighters why would anyone continue to play? Then let's say they still do try to continue to play...it doesn't last long because they get so frustrated with the controls not working...you wanna dodge a strike? Nope sorry get pummeled...you wanna throw an ability? Nope sorry you better keep smashing that ability button 69 times while you get pummeled and pray it finally fires the ability...you want to throw a combo? Nope sorry that's broken too. No chance you keep new players playing this "game" in the state that it is. I would love to see the revenue numbers before and after this thing they call a patch and the amount of new users downloading and actually continuing to play this game, it's almost unplayable for people like me that have been playing for awhile I couldn't even imagine how frustrating and rage inducing it would be if I were new smh
True story. They completely botched the game. As if they share any decision with these legend, blueberry, pineapple, cucumber, eashayne... figures of fun. 😂 👌
Also true. On the EA discord people are getting constrained on a daily basis, owned by a guy called "Legend" who uses a special chat channel called "the purgatory" for the intentional herassment of young people. He was already known for this kind of behavior on EAs "Madden" discord. The VIP called "Marki$$" is like his buddy, active with a guild glorifying Russia, reporting people who he likes to get banned. If you see chat protocols with them it's crystal clear that their kind of bullying follows a routine. That is just the tip of the iceberg but if you confront these people you will get banned.
@Robbird84 who is that in the first picture?
@Markkisselev there's no way to misinterpret what you said....you stated it very matter of factly. Obviously you guys are sick of hearing us complain about this game...so they need to fix it. Not tell us to "learn to like it" or "don't play". You know as well as I do the bugs and suggestions channel goes nowhere...I mean how many people are STILL waiting on the Colby from the LAST battle pass? How long has the showstopper for strikers been broken? How long has everyone complained about the bjj showstopper being useless? How many people have complained about dodges, blocks, strikes, abilities not registering...I could keep going but I won't because you get my point and not a single one of those things has been fixed. But oh hey they don't announce the wrong guy as Pettis anymore.
