XXXX is annoying....

[rynecandy]

This is EA's fault as much as MS. Nobody at EA thought of this? Nobody tried it out before going gold? When they were bragging about this feature. When they had Peter Moore in interviews telling you how you could recreate YOUR team in TB. I have a feeling that EA knew about this but decided to let it slide hoping to fix it once it was revealed.

it's completely out of their hands so there's very little they can do to fix it. what would you have them do differently?

It is because it is custom content. If you generate names, you are getting names that have been approved my MS/Sony. If you enter them yourself, you are accepting that name as not offensive to you.

However, when you download user created content, it must be run through a function that checks against a profanity list that we don't have access to.

We are looking into a way of creating an exceptions list of words that do not need to go through the filter, but we are going to need the blessing of the console manufacturers.

Oh, we knew things were going to get filtered. Crimson Tide? No, I didn't expect that one to get filtered!
