I dont understand the active defense of EA here either. This site should be informative and objective nothing more nothing less. This website is not here to promote or posture on behalf of any game developing company. I get the feeling sometimes that gets lost here. The issues that we bring to the table that even allow change to be implemented are vital. It does not matter whether they fit the corporate vision, if not discusssed stagnant gaming is a certainty. They may fit the vision later who knows.
A prime example of potential change would be weather effecing gameplay. The position of assessing how someone words or what attitude someone conveys their complaint to EA is not relevant if its within the Terms of Service of Operation Sports, its the fact that it is being discussed which could allow change for the better.
