As someone who invested a lot of time into FIFA over the years with a small community of dedicated guys trying to make the game more realistic through sliders and trying to influence EA to make a more realistic game I just wanted to add my two cents. C22 has been frustrating, I understand, but I will say this...do not take for granted the access they give with Bruce etc. He might give frustrating answers etc, but I do not believe he is acting in bad faith and abuse will just shut down a good pipeline to get info back to the developers and game designers. We lost that with FIFA when the social media managers got so much abuse they had to deactivate social media and what they replaced it with is a one way pipeline of info to us with no discussion back. And it is worse for trying to influence the game.
C22 has flaws and clearly was rushed out for the Ashes series which I really do believe was not in BAs control. Getting a small dev to pump out 15-18 patches or whatever it is over a month is unheard of, getting them to put features back that were called for, unheard of. Trust me you do not want a monolith like EA making a niche game like Cricket. I also think that unfortunately as the last year of Game Dev has shown making games for two next gen, two last gen and PC all at the same time comes at a cost even for huge companies. Give Bruce constructive feedback but spamming him with abuse will just lead to a worse game for all of us.
