OK STOP YOUR WHINING AND GIVE THE GAME A CHANCE

Re: OK STOP YOUR WHINING AND GIVE THE GAME A CHANCE

I'm sure you mean well, but I think posts like these simply "fan the flames" even more. We all know that everybody has different tastes. I'm happy that the game is a good fit for you. It fits my style of play, too, and I'm very pleased. On the other hand, other people out there were expecting something different, or prefer another game. Thats cool. I just don't think we should be shouting anybody down for voicing their opinion on a message forum such as this. So long as no TOS are violated, I don't see a problem with that. If it really bothers you that much, you can try to avoid reading their posts. Thanks.

Well maybe you are new to message boards but this is a common practice. Most people tend to post the bad things they see vs. the complaints of the game. Of course usually around day 2 we see a thread just like yours that SO RUDELY IS TITLED IN CAPS TO STOP THE COMPLAINING AND/OR WHINING as if suddenly you are the owner of the site and we should all bow to you.

I am returning the game once ESPN comes out but I at least gave the game a shot. There is no slider tweak out there that can fix my issues with the game. I am entitled to my opinion and I don't consider my knocks against the game as whining. I just do not care for it. It happens, if you happy with your purchase of the game then why is it such an issue to you what others think? It is one thing to try to give people assistance as to their problems with a game. That much is welcomed. It is the defending of a game simply because you enjoy and the little personal jabs you take at the posters who do not enjoy the game which is not tolerated here at OS.

Amen happy to see another person who "gets it"... We both share different views on the game but can respect others opinions.

Sure I could have locked it for the little attacks but I am not as it is clear UPFRONT that if it goes into a flamefest as the original author was heading it to go, it will be locked.

Re: OK STOP YOUR WHINING AND GIVE THE GAME A CHANCE

Hmmm whining about other people whining? I personally like the game, although there are flaws but doesnt it make more sense for you to just enjoy the game rather than take your time to make a long post (that will hardly even be read) because your feathers were ruffled? Just ignore the "whining" and enjoy the game yourself.

Some people have to save up money to buy a game, and cant really spend $50 on a game that they may feel is flawed. There is nothing wrong with people posting what they feel is wrong with the game, especially since others come here for impressions before purchasing said game.

Re: OK STOP YOUR WHINING AND GIVE THE GAME A CHANCE

What I was saying was that people were complaining about issues that can be fixed simply by changing sliders and what not. I have no problem with people voicing their opinions, but I feel ESPN fans were on here just looking to bash the game, one in which I love very much. I was just trying to say "Give the game a chance. " Sorry for the long post, at least I was just trying to explain my reasoning rather than just say something like shut up and leave it at that.

Why dont you reply now laker? See people like this who think we dont have a right to voice a opinoin good or bad is whats killing this whole freaking country. Cause we voice our displeasure doesnt make us less American or whiners, I makes us cautious consumers my friend. Dont come on here and play ones right to speak out, and like the admin said you dont own the sight. We arent complaing to you we are complaining in hopes that someone somewere sees this and cares and makes the neccesary cahnges. I could easily in turn say, your a ea loyalist and will take whatever crap they dump on you. But i wont take that route, ill say you be happy with it and im happy for you. But leave us alone as we try and get a better product.
