Did I miss the Player Ratings reveal?

[TDYRX]

As much as it sounds like an excuse, it's Madden season. I'd imagine EA wants everyone to focus on their money maker right now, especially since the Live demo has been producing solid impressions and content (YT specifically) to keep a buzz going. I think we'll get more info towards the end of the month, leading up to release.

We have a demo. How are they not advertising their product?

What do ratings do but show a number. It doesn't matter. We have actual gameplay.

i think the art of effective advertising is not known to many here. this demo is nothing. they need to interact with the community. 2k has nba players interacting with fans on Twitter and well known gameplay devs interacting on OS. building hype is essential in getting purchases and live is MIA after demo release. 2k is even inviting youtubers ( influencers with milions of subs) to freely advertise . what live has done is enough for the small #of people here but to the million of others they havent made a dent

The Live developers are communicating with the community.

My point is one dropped gameplay and people want ratings. The other is dropping ratings and people want to know about gameplay.

They are both just as active as the other. In my opinion, giving people a hands on demo is more immersive than a number next to someone's name that most looking forward to it don't agree with anyway and want to edit.

We do this every year. News doesn't start pouring out until September. Guys need to wait.

I have bought 2K religiously for many many years, I have played the heck out of the Live demo and will be purchasing it instead of 2K, so it at least worked on me. This demo has been EVERYTHING. Have you seen EA Rocky and others in the threads interacting back and forth? They have been present.

Live is doing good job for where it is. They dont need to do what the giant is doing...or even try and measure up against it. Any screenshots would get drowned out by what they have going on right now anyway...

They have a free demo out, devs are active in the community taking feedback.

I've actuallty seen a lot more physical advertising than I have in the past (ads embedded in the Google Play Store etc)

I think they are doing fine for the lane they are in..

How can you really know that until you see some sales numbers?

Lack of info formation makes me believe the game is bare bones outside of the online my player modes. Which is why no information is getting revelaed. Even if that is the case they could still reveal some ratings every now and then.

I feel the same way. I already preordered it, but I can't seem to find much info on the game anywhere. No ratings, no info one what was improved in this year's game, nothing. More people would give Live 18 a chance if ea did a better job of promoting the game.
