Oh and they should eliminate community leaders altogether and reply to peoples questions on their own message board. With actual EA employees whose job it is to monitor it. It is a nifty concept, supporting you product and such.

That also goes for 2ksports…

(A) I’ve been discussing issues like that with contacts since prior to release but the idea that posting a article that bashes them would motivate them to do something or do it quicker is absurd.

I’m not “in fear” of anything, I post about what I want, I just prefer to do so in a productive manner or communicate behind the scenes. I dropped some links below to the coverage I had so you can check them out.[/quote]

You can drop links till the cows come home (again you complain about it a little and it gets forgotten). You and other sites fail to ask the tough questions and get answers to them. It’s like watching It has nothing to do with bashing anything. Here in the real world if your cheeseburger comes without cheese you are darn well going to complain about it’s absence. If you have to wait 3 months to get that cheese you are going to take it to a higher level of complaint.

If by “productive means of communication” you are instigating that still waiting on a fix, in late November, for a game released in August (or July in NCAA’s case) is a positive thing due to this use of tact? Or the lack of alternate unis? Well in my book that is just not quite cutting it.

Someone could have asked the big man at EA Sports of these issues, which existed at the time of interview. Instead we get stuff like this (link below). Do you think this is what the consumer who buys their product wants to hear? I think many want to hear what he is doing to make a better product out of the box and what they are doing to fix existing products. He just prattles on about how we are going to do this, this and this – without actually saying anything. Someone needs to hold his hand to the fire, the guys is making a pretty penny as the head guy at EA, let’s make him earn it.

Rough start for Easportsworld.com? Yeah Peter that would be a bit of an understatement.

Plenty of devs discuss with customers, be it on their message board or boards related They just prefer to do it themselves and eliminate “community leaders.”

Sorry just not buying what you are selling. Sure it is your hobby and people like yourself are helping to ruin it by sucking on the tit that is EA.

I’m not sure how long you’ve been following my site, but for some perspective read up on my coverage of the online play for Madden and NCAA and the EA Sports World issues including for Tiger Woods.

I’m not an investigative reporter and it isn’t my job to call out any company on a particular issue. It is basically a hobby and any influence I have I would try to put to good use though. When something important comes up I go through the proper channels of communication. Such as with the patch. No one wants it out as badly as EA does but the process is lengthy and complicated. I’ve been discussing issues like that with contacts since prior to release but the idea that posting a article that bashes them would motivate them to do something or do it quicker is absurd.

The community leader program is something that EA does but really doesn’t have to do. Its competitors don’t reach out to the community or keep the same level of communication. And that is something that should be appreciated. I try to update with any news as much as possible. But something like the patch has no specific date for release, it is reliant on several factors. Since even they don’t have a date I’m not sure how the community program could be at fault for that.

When there is a subject I am passionate about that (such as online play) I’ll definitely do what I can though to write about the frustration caused. I’m not “in fear” of anything, I post about what I want, I just prefer to do so in a productive manner or communicate behind the scenes.
