[Rivals] Balance Patch needed. VOICE your support, don't let this game die!.
Rivals needs a balance patch. It has been 2 years since the last major balance patch. This is a live service game that people invested large amounts of money in to enjoy. EA has a responsibility to ensure that people's investments are respected so that people have faith to spend more. There are many units that have been nerfed and made unplayable throughout the game's lifespan. Below is a proposal to make many units interesting again, most of the changes are targeted buffs that try to make units more useful and have defined roles, while stripping away problems that make them oppressive. A large issue is that many units are simply unaffordable. Many of these changes are designed to increase the speed of the game by making units cheaper and ultimately the game more enjoyable. Itemized list detailing purpose and scope of changes: (29 net buffs, 3 uncertain, 8 net nerfs) https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQerXHKfzi0O2eCaSa1BO22xWGpZ39zfEBoA_HCie5OOtDVC37lLr2IWGNZz-iVExvnjfXht-F7KBJN/pub Code changes required, easy to follow and implement (estimated time 30 minutes): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSTDm316HQzBKQFIEs7zwbh_nPrfQHRJE_KaFzh44bWFoeXEVksL3dl4bbt-dIeRRxIsU-_XptA_ZDM/pubhtml?gid=1281727041&single=true Rivals is a great game, however it has grown stale. It needs periodic updates to remain interesting. There needs to be a team that is willing to make changes every so often to ensure the game is appealing. There are many in the community who would do this for free, but even one more patch that makes units playable would be incredible. Even if you do not agree with some of the changes, please voice your support! so people continue to have things to look forward to and that this great game does not die.Solved[Under Investigation] Command & Conquer: Rivals Crashing Issues

[Gamerdruid EDIT Removed tag to wrong development team ]SolvedC&C Rivals - iOS Graphics Bug & Needed Balance Updates
Dear EA Community Team, As a dedicated player and financial supporter of Command & Conquer Rivals, I'm reaching out regarding two critical issues affecting the game experience: a persistent visual bug for iOS users and the increasingly stagnant meta due to lack of balance updates. THE VISUAL ISSUE: All Tiberium patches on iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) display a severe glittering/flickering effect as shown in the attached screenshot. This visual glitch makes strategic gameplay difficult as it's challenging to properly assess resource locations during matches. - This issue ONLY affects iOS devices - Android versions of the game display Tiberium correctly - The bug persists across multiple iOS updates and device models - This has been ongoing for about 6 years without acknowledgment THE BALANCE ISSUE: The current meta has grown stale and predictable, with the same units dominating competitive play for too long. We urgently need balance adjustments to: - Address overpowered units that have dominated the meta - Buff underutilized units to create more strategic diversity - Refresh the competitive landscape to keep the game engaging - Introduce counter-play options to current dominant strategies As players who financially support this game through purchases, we deserve both a basic level of visual integrity and regular balance updates to keep the gameplay fresh and engaging. The lack of attention to these issues directly impacts player retention and the overall health of the game. Could we please get: 1. Acknowledgment that these issues are being investigated 2. An estimated timeline for when fixes and balance updates might be implemented 3. Communication about the current development priorities for C&C Rivals The C&C community remains loyal to this franchise, but our continued support depends on receiving quality updates and maintenance. We understand development priorities must be balanced, but these fundamental aspects of gameplay should be addressed. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response and continuing to enjoy Command & Conquer Rivals once these issues are resolved.Time to revisit C&C Rivals?
If we compare the user reviews with the C&C franchise, we can see that C&C Rivals outperforms all the others. Development of the game was abandoned by EA in 2019 however in 2025 there are 300 active players on top 100, 800 players making tiberium league and certainly a thousand players active across masters, diamond, and lower leagues. Alliances still see new players joining the game and spending money in the store to level their units or to purchase skins, vanity items, etc. Why isn't EA investing some time and money to: Fix some bugs collected by the community on reddit and discord Remove the logic of levels and monetise via account name changes, skins and other items. The game is hard enough for people not having to level their accounts. It is all about skill and strategy Rotate the maps more often in Masters and Tiberium leagues Add a new faction such as Scrin? Enable self-destroy to avoid population caps Allow 2 Vs 2 teams The list goes on to show the high level of engagement from the players. EA_UniversaEA_EduEA_HuxSolvedRivals - JumpJet needs new balance
Good day EA, I would like to bring your attention to a significant balance issue with the JumpJet unit in Command & Conquer Rivals that is currently impacting gameplay experience. This unit effectively becomes uncounterable in many situations due to its exceptional mobility, as demonstrated in the video I've attached. https://youtu.be/6wNWP2j2SXo I would like to suggest one of two potential adjustments: Increase the Tiberium cost from its current value from 40 to 50 Tiberium to better reflect its utility, OR Reduce the movement speed from "fastest" to "faster" to allow for more viable counterplay options.C&C Rivals auf Android Probleme mit 2 Profilen
Hallo, ich spiele seit 6 Jahren C&C Rivals auf Android. Vor 2 Tagen habe ich das Spiel zusätzlich auf einem zweiten Tablet installiert und ein neues Profil angelegt.
