Re: NHL Community Committee
Hi folks. I'm here coming from the EA forums side. I lurk occasionally on here as well, checking in on threads and seeing some of the topics being discussed.
Many of you seem to be rather distraught, and I can understand that to an extent. However; the OS community is made of primarily of folks that focus more on the offline aspects of the game. EASHL is an online game mode. As a guy who posts mostly on the EA forums, I came to read the applications and there were really none that were comparable to that of Ooohways and UTPs when it came to looking for what I wanted to be on the committee. The majority of posts were focused on Be a GM, Gameplay, and presentation as a user outlined a few pages ago. That isn't what this committee is for. It is for EASHL activities, and from applications (which is the only thing that EA is reading that anyone posts these days) Those two were the best choice. From your perspectives, yes, it might be rough because you don't feel you have a representation on the committee. But as a whole, would you all consider yourself truly adequate to providing feedback about EASHL? Over on the EA Forums, probably closeto 50% of posts are EASHL related. That is the focus. Here, you all are probably lucky to get 10% related to EASHL. So it should come to no surprise that folks that applied stating they had ideas for the EASHL game mode were chosen. If you all want a better game, sending folks that don't have expertise in the proper game mode isn't going to improve the game, which is exactly the position that this community has. It's obviously a tough pill to swallow. But I can say that the folks from the EA Forums side of the committee share many of your ideas and frustrations with the game. Gameplay is the other 50% of posts on the EA Forums these days, and every person that was chosen from our side knows the faults that gameplay has. They will do all that they can to improve most of these issues. Rather than request a re-vote, or mod selection of OS members, request another committee that relates to things such as GM mode, Rosters, Likenesses, etc, as you all would be extremely qualified, moreso than any other community out there, to guide the series in the right direction for those modes.

Re: NHL Community Committee
Furthermore, we are more peeved about how everything was handled and the lack of communication on the matter than anything else. Why exactly did this need to be done through OS? We are not represented and we had nothing to do with any part of this in the end. I can pretty much assure that nearly nobody in this community voted for anyone that was chosen. And the two people that were picked from the OS group only signed up here when this was announced to be considered as a back way into the registration. I am certain that I am not alone when saying that most of us were under the impression that this would be an in-house vote. A vote in which you needed to be a registered member here at OS to be able to participate it. That is the vibe everyone seemed to have from the start and we never really got any more info until it was time to vote, and even that was vague at best. Having a private vote at OS seemed most logical to me. If people wanted to vote they would have to join. It would benefit OS to have the traffic influx if outsiders wanted to make their pitch and have their followers come in and vote, no? Instead something was dangled in front of this community, which hasn't really had the best relations with EA Vancouver of late to begin with, and then pulled out from under that same community. That is why people are upset. I haven't really heard anyone that is upset about the two people that got voted to be in the committee. That isn't what people are saying at all. It is the blatant disregard and misrepresentation that occurred and caused us to truly be left out in this situation. Nobody here would have probably said a thing had this all occurred and OS wasn't included in the first place, but the post was made and OS was mentioned specifically as having a voice in the community with this opportunity. That didn't occur in the slightest. Sure there were quite a few that put their names in for consideration that really didn't understand the concept or didn't fit the bill, but there are still plenty of people here that could have made a difference for the better had they been selected. Those people could've worked with EA and OS to be a liaison. And the two people that were voted in from the Youtube community could've still went in some capacity and OS would have never known or cared because it has no ties to those people. All-in-all, this was handled about as poorly as everything else has been with NHL of late. So please don't come in here and attempt to rationalize it to this community who feels slighted. An outsider cannot see it through their eyes and it just comes off as ignorant. And that isn't directed towards just you, StLHokie. Just know that people here care and want to help. We were asked for help and then did what we were asked to do to take part. In the end, we were ignored once again. |

Re: NHL Community Committee
Quite frankly I think there may have been a few people confused by the article or application process (I know I was). Yes it emphasized the EASHL area, but the application also states they are looking for people who specialize in other areas of the game. Many people posted their applications due to that and not EASHL. The article says:
"Our goal is to bring the most passionate and knowledgeable community members into the studio to directly influence and shape the development of core game modes, as well as other aspects of the game. This first event will take place in early December. This NHL Community Committee will eventually work to bring fan feedback directly to many aspects of the game, but the first objective is to help with the development of EA SPORTS Hockey League." Sounds to me like they also want other areas of the game. At no place does it state when non EASHL players should submit their application. That's why people put their applications in. I guess I'll just assume there must be a few more voting times when the dates are announced for the other areas. All I know is that if there are offline, BAGM, and gameplay related area community days we better get true veteran representatives from this site. In fact we should be allowed to have two people join the EA forums and take those spots. I completely agree most of the people on the site don't play online modes often, but I can definitely say we specialize in those other areas, besides HUT.

Re: NHL Community Committee
"My working knowledge of the game and sport, along with my thousands of hours playing EASHL for top ranked clubs over the years has shown me the best and worst parts of this game mode." No where in the quote from your application does it say that you put in that amount of time. Thousands of hours could be in one year, or 5, but you didn't mention it. In addition, nowhere in the application did you state what typical game sizes that you play. In a mode where there is a vast separation between those that play 6v6 very competitively, or 2v2 extremely casually, it's critical to state which side of the eightball you were coming from. Balance between the 2v2 guys and the 6v6 guys is obviously something that still needs a lot of work, and you didn't give any insight into level of play other than "for top ranked clubs" which is a comment completely left up to interpretation.
Having difficulties interpreting a pretty simple application post is another cause for concern. If you require clarification on what the post entails, then the first thing you do is ask. Why? Because you know what they say about people that assume.... No one asked a single question about the details of the application request.
And I'll also throw it out there that I would not consider myself as an outsider to this community even if you might. I've been reading here since I started playing the game. I've read through hundreds of pages of "How's your GM going" just because it's interested me in what people are doing. I've gone through revamped rosters to see they types of updates that users within this community were making. I've followed the custom music tracks, I've played around with sliders, and I've done just about everything else that anyone within this community has done. The difference is that I just chose to post more over at EA Forums because there is typically more activity. So maybe, it is not me who is the one coming off as ignorant.

Re: NHL Community Committee
Well I don't expect much change if any at all. Besides, it will take at least a couple of years to get any suggestions implemented into the game (thats if they even use any of the suggestions). At best for next year, we can hope for a bare bones EASHL on Xbox 1 and PS4. My question is how stripped down will it be. Where is this transparency they kept talking about?
The EA forums are a mess, not worth the time of day. Its not what it used to be over there. I have zero faith in EA Sports and this franchise. Last edited by drog1602; 12-07-2014 at 12:19 AM. |
