The Fall of EA Sports

Re: The Fall of EA Sports

Now thats a valid point but the answer is simple.

The people who are REALLY INTERESTED in the subject are buying the game no matter what.

Its a waste of marketing dollars to focus on buyers who are pretty much guaranteed to buy the game. ****, for all the complaining here, I gotta say that I'm crazy disappointed with the number of people here who bitched for 2-3 yrs....and still bought the game day 1.

Those people absolutely justified EA's marketing approach.

I have to disagree with the bolded statement as well.

Some of the people who are really interested bought the game. I'm sure there are many hardcore holdouts not putting out a penny for this **** game.

Re: The Fall of EA Sports

The last sentence is interesting though. I guess I've been in the corporate world to long. For example, I've worked on good television shows and some ****ty ones. Some of the ****ty ones have been some of the most successful shows in the world.

Now if my company only cares about how much revenue a show is bringing in...thats all I'm going to care about. I could give a **** if thousands of people are complaining about my show or talking about how other shows are better. If millions of people are watching my show and my company is happy...thats all i care about.

It's a seriously depressing world we live in.

Re: The Fall of EA Sports

I didn't buy this game. So don't lump me into that. It's not easy, because I am a GIANT martial arts and combat sports fan, but there's just too many things ****ed up in this game for me to actually purchase it.

I didnt lump you in. I didnt name you at all actually.

I wonder how long you hold out though. Like I said, 20 or 30 bucks is still revenue for EA. I hope you hold out forever given how much time you spend here complaining. That would be better than most of the people here.

It wont. It will be like NBA Playgrounds or WWE Battlegrounds. It will be a fun pick up and play game that my 6 yr old can play. It wont be what people want. It wont be NFL2k21.

You are no fun! lol

I dont know man. My kid cant eat reviews. GPD and Skynet cant pay mortgages simply from the praise a few hundred people on OS give him on this site.

In the end, games have to sell and EA thinks this is the best approach to selling the game. What sucks is it looks like they may be right if this game sells more.

I've said before, I'll wait and see how things get patched, then if a few things get touched on that I am actually interested in, buy it used on the secondary market. Then all my "data" of me ignoring all the goofy nonsense they added will be collected and they will see that no one cares about that garbage. They don't get a penny from me, but they do get to see the data of long term, hardcore players ignoring all these stupid masks and haircuts. Win/win from my perspective.

The artist in me sheds many tears at the mentality of big business.

Count me in when it comes to not buying it. Was 100% prepared to not buy it, but a friend actually gifted me the game. I must say, there are some things I quite like but as a hardcore MMA fan, I'd have been miffed if I paid full price.

I mean, it’s easy to not buy if you were gifted a copy lol.

I know that, lol, but I was mentally prepared to pass on it anyway as launch came closer. I played the beta and wasn't overly impressed. My main issues weren't and almost certainly won't be fixed/addressed so I would've just stuck with Undisputed 3. I still will. I hardly play ranked. Just a few quick fights each day.

Thats unacceptable. I need CAFs created immediately. Get off your *** and create some of these real life CAFs with EA's ****ty CAF system. Thanks. :-)

Re: The Fall of EA Sports

Your crazy. Ufc 4 lacks the depth of ea mma and undisputed. Its a glorified update. They didnt even add any new ground positions. They ignored 4 games worth of wish lists. Thq is our version of early ea.

Get over yourself.

Re: The Fall of EA Sports

And "The Last of Us 2" sas a user meta critic score of 5 and it's one of the top selling games of all time.

User ratings tell you how much free time the people you've pissed off with the game have to invest in trying to game the rating system. Nothing else.

I can guarantee you no one at EA or in the UFC is making any decisions based on metacritic user ratings.

I've created a post stating how much I disagree with the direction this series has taken under Geoff. I say this as evidence that I'm not kissing his a$$ or biased towards EA.

But he is 100% correct.

This is a business. EA is responsible for providing value to its shareholders. Nothing more.
