As I acknowledged in my first post, Covid could play a role.

I also think you have to have your head in the sand if you think the increased marketing and the fact that casual fans were targeted (and hardcore fans still bought the game), had nothing to do with the record sales.

I promise you EA isnt going to see this as a sign that it should start catering to the people who come to OS/Reddit/Youtube/Metacritic to complain about the game.

No actual numbers to even compare and like I said in the drought season for games.

They can do what they want, i wont ever buy a full priced game from them again. I'll either wait for its much need 6 plus patches and a price drop or just skip it as I've done so far. Beta and ea access gave me enough time to know how bad the game is right now.

It may have, but we have no quantifiable way to show that. Like you said, it may also be due to COVID, Madden 21 also saw quantifiable growth based on the link you provided.

Really the link tells us nothing although I'm sure EA has more precise info on this. You're very negative and don't offer any solutions.

This isnt a drought season for games though. Madden, PGA 2k and a new COD pack that increased sales for the game all dropped in August. UFC 1 and 2 actually dropped during real drought periods.

I'm not even discussing the quality of the game which is what everyone seems to want to discuss. It has nothing to do with the sales. From the way, I see it OS thinks UFC 4 is a drop in quality but that drop in quality resulted in more sales so I dont know what else there is to say.

Re: UFC 4 sets a launch sales record for the EA UFC seriess
 

Yep I am. I'm not here to provide "solutions".

I'm smart enough to know when a battle is lost. People here seem to think that the way to convince EA to change the game is continue to do what they did during the life of UFC 3. Post complaints non stop.

That had the opposite effect of what they wanted with 4. EA made the game less like they wanted it and removed features that only this community would want.

Actually, I'm wrong. I did provide a solution. I told this forum weeks before release what this game was. EA gave you guys two opportunities to play the game before release.

I told people to not buy the game if they were unhappy with what EA has done.

Still, the majority of people bought the game and played a role in their record sales.

So sorry if I'm negative to a bunch of people who complain but are still willing to hand over $60 for a game that they knew they wouldnt like.

And who exactly is doing that? Surely you must've dreamt about that, Sleep Doctor. :cool:


The title of this topic is merely an observation. There's no 'patting' involved.



Plenty of people nowadays are willing to shell out 60$ for a 'newer' game that 'works' (or at least the basics work). Balance and depth don't really seem to matter for those people, and that's their right I guess. I evaluated the game and they've JUST done enough to get my purchase. If the game was more expensive I wouldn't have bought it, or if it had less content. I guess that's the art: to provide just enough for people to bite, like their FIFA releases.

I'm glad you bold your points because alone they don't stand tall on its own.

Anyways, If you're smart enough to know the battle is lost since EA isn't listening to you/us/OS, how come you're not smart enough to stop berating the "bunch of people who complain but are still willing to hand over $60 for a game that they knew they wouldn't like?"

If your assumptions are correct, the hardcore fanbase on this forum is negligible. I mean, if our demands aren't being met, who cares if they buy the game or not, right?
