So you pitch it to the devs and their response is: That fix (that you think is easy) would cost a significant amount of money and time to fix for UFC 2. Especially given that they may have started working on a new game, they dont plan to fix it until next game. or That while people on the forums hate the combo modifier, they've determined from surveys and social media that most people like the combo modifier. or That a higher up at EA likes the combo modifier and thinks it should remain. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR RESPONSE? There is alot more to being a gamechanger than just identifying an issue and proposing how to fix it. Alot more things to take into consideration other than you wanting an issue to be fixed. None of these are the reasons for why the combo modifier is in place. But they could be reasons for why features that people hate on the forums remain in the game. The reason why you dont likely see the Gamechangers posting with idea threads is because they can take their input directly to the devs. They dont need to post in the forums first to take their idea or issues to the devs. I dont know how many times I can tell you this. The devs read the forums. They have read your threads. They are aware of the issues in the game that have been posted about. Just because you think a fix is easy....doesnt mean its actually easy. Just because something you want doesnt get fixed doesnt mean the devs are "ignoring" you. It just means that they have a short amount of time and manpower (right now) and have to prioritize fixes. The majority were complaining about clinch issues. Only you (and a few others) were complaining about the color of the ps4 light or a speed bonus from sway. So....the devs are going to look are going to give priority to the issues that THE MAJORITY cares about.

If I was a game changer and ea game me those reasons for modifier I'd ask to take it up the chain of comment, all the way to the top. I suspect its Scott.

Seriously?

I suspect some of you think the GCs have more power or a bigger voice than they actually do.

I don't, B they aren't employees as far as I know. I believe the do have power or potential voice, just like other people here. Dude got Big Nog buffed just by being loud and constant

But that wasn't the reason. He presented gifs, videos, stats, etc. He didn't just open a thread and tell the Devs and GCs that they need to step their game up and complain about how Big Nog was broken.

With the introduction of the new competitive mode, I think the removal of the combo modifier in the current game is wishful thinking. I believe they want to wrap this one up, make it as balanced as it can be, and not go around experimenting with the removal of mechanics.

As for the current team of Gamechangers, if someone becomes inactive in his position, or decides to quit, I'm sure Karo will catch that too.

The way this worked in the past is that people were chosen that provided good feedback. The community stood behind the ideas and their vision of the game. I don't see how any of that has changed for the current set of Gamechangers.

Yeah it is too bad that their feedback is now send directly to the team, and we can no longer read it. But at the same time, at least then you can be certain it reaches the right people?

It appears they are keeping the current set of GameChangers for their next game. Let's hope they will bring these people in at a time where there is actual time and place in development to take in real gamechanging feedback, in its early stages.

And if you want the position of a GameChanger then I suggest you stick to providing feedback that the rest of the community supports. I think the position has to be earned, and not given.

Clinch still needs a nerf. Glad they are changing it. You can currently work someone the while fight taking almost no damage and one missed block in the clinch is game over. Click k is a noobs Paradise

What are you taking up to the chain of command though? In that scenario, the devs are giving you legit reasons why they cant do something. You may not agree with them but that doesnt make the reasons less legitimate.

So you would ask to talk to their boss? And what would you say? Ignore those surveys! Make time and fix this for UFC 2 immediately!

I'm not here to kiss the devs ***. I (and the other GCers) have been very vocal behind the scenes about things we dislike. From stopping power to perm stamina to movesets to ratings to striking issues...we have talked to the devs about all of these issues.

To the devs credit, they have given us reasons for every issue and why they havent been fixed. Some make total sense. Some I have issues with. But they are all legitimate reasons and all we can do is continue to talk to them and make them aware of the issues.

Also it wasnt just one guy (even though he played a role in bringing it to the dev team's attention). Some of the Gcers and some of the devs agreed he needed a buff.

One other thing: You shouldnt compare the change some ratings to one fighter to something like the removal of the combo modifier. Those changes arent even in the same stratosphere.
