EA,
We The People; your loyal and faithful customers for over a decade have had enough. We were faithful during those early years when the game was still being developed. We've been along for the ride as the game has progressed to the next generation of gaming consoles
You've had some great ideas, such as Online Dynasty, giving the user the ability to make a catch, strip or pick, formational subs or customize their playbooks. Following your players as they set and break records and then exporting classes for Madden has so much potential for fun too as you can see your college players in the professional career.
However...now you've taken away so much from us...your customers. How could you do this to us? How could you take away the formational subs? The customized playbooks? The end zone art, presentation, celebrations and player equipment options? Why EA? Why would you do this to us?
EA...you didn't stop there. You decided to force feed us useless gimmicks in the gameplay rather than focus on adjusting the actual player interaction on the field.
Not only did you introduce "Jump the Snap" you have kept it despite overwhelming protest from your customers. You not only ignored the protest but you've introduced new ones. You have now gone even further and introduced pre-snap "Commit". You have turned our only choice for a college football into an arcade game. You've given 170 lb cornerbacks the ability to shed offensive lineman like an NFL defensive lineman. You killed the online running game. Any game that can stuff a power running game out of Dime is NOT a representation of real football.
All we ask are four simple things. First, make us, your customers, a game that represents as closely as possible the game in real life. Give us a game where lineman actually block. Give us a game where defensive pass rusher can beat an offensive lineman because they are better. Give us a game where you can't be getting tackled by three players and pitch the ball perfectly 10 yards to the RB on an option play. Give us a game where defensive players actually can contain the QB while pass rushing. MAKE THE RATINGS MATTER!
Second, give us back the life of the game. Give us the ability to customize our playbooks, formations and player's equipment. We don't want everyone wearing white sleeves. Give us some excitement on the field. You should have that "feeling" of a big game when you're playing in a conference championship game.
Third, TEST YOUR PRODUCT! Enough with releasing these games with various problems. WE ARE NOT YOUR GUINEA PIGS! We are not your lab rats. We are your customers and considering there are no other choices to buy for college football we expect a high quality game. We aren't paying you to test the game, we're paying you to play it.
Finally EA...listen to us. We aren't just making stuff up. When we tell you it's a big deal for us to have the "Player's Leaving Early" glitch fixed...we really mean it. We don't mean fix it next year. We mean fix it NOW. We don't want you to tell us "It's not that big of a deal". We determine what is a big deal, not you. When we tell you that we need working sliders we don't expect it to take two seasons and a couple patches to make them effective. If we tell you that player progression is out control we really mean it! We are not unreasonable. We don't spend the hours playing the game, chatting on the message board and setting up dynasties because we hate game. No...we like it and want to see it get better and better. Adam has been great providing feedback, but he is only one man. I'm sure he feels caught in the middle quite often.
Thank you EA for taking time to listen to your customers.
