The Biggest Problem with EA

I feel like they dedicate far more time and effort into manpower to find out how NMS make coins each year and tailoring the game to eliminate that, no matter how minuscule a way, they eradicate it. Definitely, this has been their priority over the past 3 years. They dedicate 0 resources to improving the game or fixing anything that is a hindrance to a NMS player. Case in point: Alumni players. These would have been great for the first 2 weeks of the game. They will drag this out long enough until they feel they are irrelevant and the player base will forget about them. Perfect example of them having staff on hand to study NMS players and implement a “fix” te eliminate coin making, is todays OVR increase. It’s clear that they studied last years increases and saw that people would stock up on mystery packs to get some added value when the OVR increases. Clearly one of the pettiest ways EA could attack NMS,

but they did it, as the OVR in most packs that could have been pulled yesterday did not go up except THE MOST RARE LEGENDS PACK. What a pathetic gaming company they are. All this while the game is burning in front of their eyes from all of the issues and glitches that they don’t care about. I’m sure they have a position called “NMS Hunter” at EA that literally just watches X and content creators to see how people make coins and destroy the methods……

It's not just the NMS players they go after.

I have a buddy who probably wouldn't mind dropping a couple hundred to be able to play squads with me. The thing is he doesn't want anything to do with challenges or spending a bunch of time playing the AH.

For $200 he would barely be able to field a good offense / defense without grinding and all the cards he gets would be outdated a month later.

In the past I could just tell him to send me money and I'll trade him cards through the trade block but EA axed that.

In general EA is really trying to go whale hunting but they're not realizing that there are other ways to do it besides driving away all the fish.

Fantastic points, overall great thread. Perhaps yer buddy would be into the new Superstar mode. I'd never tried it before, but my son has been into creating his own character, so I've been through a few random positions (CB, HB, before ultimately deciding on a QB, as it's hard to win games if you can't throw the ball). Anyway, just a random suggestion, but it's pretty easy to drop into these 3 v 3 game modes. Sucks that there's not a MUT Draft Squads equivalent for us to play -- i'd LOVE to do that with my son, as well. Would have taken very little effort to fix it, instead EA removed it, because they're terrible.

Keep taking features away and then giving us bullshit liek CATALOGUE, which wasted a full year of dev time. BOOM Tech or whatever is underwhelming, as was to be expected.

This game is not designed for casual players. EA knows exactly what they're doing, getting us MUT addicts rounded up and shooting us liek fish in a barrel. Uff.
