EA Sports UFC 2 Closed Beta Launches on January 28

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Closed Beta Launches on January 28

This seems like quite the cluster. What are the pros/cons of releasing a closed beta 6 weeks ahead of release, compared to a demo that is free to download 2 weeks ahead of release?

Because a beta is as much for the developers as it is for the players, if not more. You're in a beta primarily to help test a product, not to decide if you want to buy it.

You're likely to experience bugs in a beta, and the purpose of it is to iron out those bugs before release. It's also done to help stress test the servers for online play.

Appreciate you still trying to help, but this isn't any good for me. As I said before, I've only ever used one single e-mail for anything associated with EA or Origin - my yahoo one. It's not a case of multiple emails for me.

I definitely opted in, and I definitely owned UFC - I have no idea why I'm not selected.

Did you get an email confirming you opted in?

Were you able to register?

Negative I got the ineligible stuff. The email address from where that email is from and my origin account where I played UFC from are the same.

I never got anything other than the small message on the contact preferences page saying my preferences had changed. Didn't know I was supposed to - there wasn't anything on the page about receiving an email specifically for opting in.

The purpose of the beta is to give people a sample of the game AND help find potential bugs that can be fixed with a day 1 patch or a little later.

A demo 2 weeks before release wont help you find bugs that can be fixed Day 1 because there isnt enough time to fix the bug and submit the patch before release.

This is the email I got:

"Thanks for Signing Up
You are now an Insider for EA SPORTS UFC! You're set to receive the latest news, exclusive offers, and more, at this email address."

Now I didnt get this email when I opted-in with my non Origin linked email account. When I opted-in with the right Origin account, I immediately got that email.

All I can do is be able to prove that I'm only dealing with one account/email here. There is no "wrong email" for me in this case.

Obviously my opt-in didn't process somehow since I never got that email. I'm not sure what, if anything, I can do about that now.

I did check my spam folder too btw - nothing.

Yeah I cant figure it out. Either EA failed to process it correctly or maybe you accidentally typed in the email wrong.

I can assure you the latter isn't the case.

Here's what I can show in public:



That email and account even pre-dates Origin (2011 was when that started). It is, without a doubt, the only email I've used that has ever been associated with EA.

And the one on the opt-in page is the exact same.

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Closed Beta Launches on January 28

Yeah I don't why it keeps telling I'm not eligible especially since I owned the game, TWICE. I typed in my origin account and everything.

So let me get this straight.....it doesn't matter that I have UFC 1 and played it to death. The real issue is that I didn't play while logged into my Origin account?
