Please welcome the EA SPORTS Game Changers

[CuseGirl]

I was a little disappointed, there isn't a single female EA Game Changer (according to the bios on the website). Now I know men out number women in sports gaming, but I can't imagine you've never had a female applicant.

Also, just throwing this out there: I've been told the depth chart ordering has not been fixed for the 4th year in a row. Why is this not being addressed?

being a part of a community like TSO puts my fingers squarely on the pulse of what is important from an online perspective. That's pretty much my focused direction as a GC, Online Game modes. I prioritize with those preferences in mind.

I spend a lot of time here at OS too, reading everything. I try to sift through the people i think have an agenda to find the those bringing really good ideas and legitimate issues and complaints about the game. You can check my post history, I've put up several wishlist threads here before my trips to Orlando in the past.

Thanks for the questions.

i would think the membership is representative of the sports gaming demographic. I think you are a part of the 1% that are female (if it's that high). So maybe when we get 100 GC's.. one will be a female. I don't make the call on who gets in the program.

I really have not seen a female out there that is producing content, opinions.. trying to garner ideas for improvements in a meaningful way. That's how most GC's got noticed in the community and invited into the program..

Let me ask you, have you filled out the application?

Not yet. I had never even heard of GC until a few months back. I only ask because supposedly ideas from the GC's are taken into account. And sometimes I just wonder what exactly you guys are talking about if you ever get a hold of the devs.

And yes, when I see a list of 48 people, it sticks out to me that there isn't ONE female participant, regardless of the 1% status.

If zero girls apply, zero girls can become game changers.

We don't know if any actually did. I really don't think there is anything more to it than that.

Have these gamechangers ever commented on a single problem?

All I've seen is them waxing on about how good it is to be on this site. Maybe I missed one.

Seems like just more of this site kissing EA's butt.

Did you see the story OS published giving people reasons to not buy NCAA 13?

what he's saying is he hasn't seen them comment on problems but just talk about how excited they are to be on here to communicate our issues to EA. He's not saying OS kisses EA's butt.
