Should EA be reponsible and have recalls?

[MrOctober430]

You always hear about motor companies having a recall on a specific model that has a malfunction. Even food products have recalls due unsafe product.

I'm starting to think that even game makers should be responsible for their faulty product. I bought a $59.96 game that freezes, broken sliders, and it's half made.

I feel if the game isn't ready for the market, it should be sent out to the stores. Keep building it and send it out a later date instead of giving a craporola game. The U.S. government should look into these scammers and start taking responsibility for their faulty game.

EA should have a general recall for all games that are freezing and constantly broken.

There are issues with it, but I think that may be too far. I'm still having fun with it.

Recalls are meant for safety issues mostly, not I didn't enjoy the product. If I don't like a brand of cereal, I shouldn't expect a recall on said brand.

I actually have had a game recalled. Sierra Fbpro99 was a game that was pushed to market before it was ready. NCAA has bugs and I would say that it is a 95% complete product with all features working but needs tweaking.

I had freezing issues and replaced my console and they went away. Personally I have to chalk that up to hardware not game. Fbpro99 was a game that froze, features on the box just didn't work. At best the game was 40% complete.

This would have been like EA releasing NBA Elite last year. That game is so incomplete they pushed it back another year. That would have been recall candidate, NCAA has bugs but it is not a recall candidate.

Sierra knew they were at the point that they were going to have lawsuits against them because the product was truly unplayable on any system by 100% of users. Ea releases games at are payable, but have legacy bugs and issues. This type if thing is what drives sales down but does not cause massive lawsuits for defrauding customers.

Pocket scout you sir are a genius and I love reading your input on various threads!

The freezing alone warrants a recall of some sort. The game is far from perfect otherwise (although I am still having a ton of fun with it), but to have a game that freezes up this frequently is very poor on EA's part.

Never going to happen IMO. I will say that my days of buying games before renting them first are long gone (Redbox is too cheap for me not to give it a test run), with the exception of GTA and Skyrim-type games. This is something that I would do when i was a teenager but once i graduated college I just bought updated games yearly...blindly. EA has finally rid me of that nonsense. Thanks EA!

an online ranked match not in dynasty mode.

Re: Should EA be reponsible and have recalls?

I still never get an answer on freezing issues. I have had the game since its release and may have experienced about 5 freezes only one during actual play. I don't play online games or dynasty, I have all the patches though, not connected to internet unless I find out patch is out. Freezing maybe only online or being connected all the time. If you play offline you rarely get freezing. Recall would not happen.

You'll only ever see a video game recall if

A) Somebody slips something in that isn't supposed to be there (GTA for example with the hot coffee mod fiasco) or

B) Putting the disc into your system has a high probability of making your system inoperable.

I am one that gets a lot of freezing. It occurs in online or offline dynasties, but i am always connected to the internet, so it is possible that being connected to the internet may have some type of cause in a lot of the freezing.

If they didn't "recall" NCAA basketball 10 which was MILES worse in the non working department then NCAA football isn't getting ****.

Re: Should EA be reponsible and have recalls?

No way video games should warrant recalls. Here's the problem, not enough gamers rent the game first. Once again I rented this game and although there are broken features is the continued lack of upgrades that eventually led to my choice.

This game is the ultimate fail product. Hell I litterally would of bought the game had they changed the commentary for the 'FIRST' time this Gen.

Rent people, just rent the game.
