Does EA read the "wishlist" forum?

Actually, does EA read any of these forums?

Obviously they do read the forums. They made improvements to get rid of leaping linebackers and psychic dbs and made improvements to recruiting. Just 3 things right off the top of my head that were heavily requested by people that use these forums.

I'm fairly new here is why I ask (even though I signed up a year ago). I've mainly posted on the wishlist forum, but not many people view those threads day-to-day.

The purpose of EA's Game Changer program, from my understanding, is to be the middle man between the devs and the community. So the GCs gather all the 'wants' and normally pass along the most asked for information.

I do think they do some reading on their own as dreads were added and I doubt any GC put dreads in their own top 5 of what needed to be fixed. I really think someone from EA saw that one.

So, if its important to you and others, just keep pushing, they may surprise you.

To be honest, the wishlist tournament on TGT holds way more weight then any other website. But then again, they also have the most Game Changers then any other website as well. So quite natural since it is way more of them in the program, what TGT wants, they get. Power in numbers.

I mean seriously, look what won their tournaments the past few years and look what got put in the game or fixed the following year. Not to say they don't browse all websites, because they do, it is just some websites hold more weight then others because they have more direct access.

Sorry, I did not realize that you were new. I just figured you were a negative EA ***** because they all come out in full force this time of year.
EA does mention this website sometimes in their Blogs so they do pay attention to what is going on here. They may not comment directly on every little thing said but they do pay attention to what is being said.

That's a little disheartening. The things I ask for are not the norm from what I see requested. I try to explain my suggestions thoroughly, but not many people reply to my posts.

I've read that EA is limited on the gameplay engine (don't know if true), so I think what I request could actually be done without having to wait for the next-gen console. I'm more about depth to the game, and not simply cosmetic. Although the presentation stuff is neat, it's simply icing on the cake in my eyes. However, the "cake is lacking some ingredients." The icing can wait IMO.

As someone who follows college football closely in real life, I love the Xs and Os strategy and recruiting aspect of the game. I'm best friends with a 13-year NFL vet (showing my age here ), and that's all we seemingly talk about.

I'm not requesting whole-scale changes to the video game, but simply reworking/adding some things here and there to bring more authenticity to the dynasty feature.

That's my fault. I could have reworded that better.
