ragnarok2887 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Just thought I'd post this enlightening video that sheds light onto the future (shady) plans of upcoming online EA games. Discuss. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlijaen Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 OMG!! I knew they did these things!! I told some friends and other players that EA did all these complicated stuff in matchmaking to grab money from players. They generally told me that it was impossible to do or very difficult to carry out. Now there you have it.. this is All-EA Style and this is just the begining. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlijaen Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Also, on FIFA games most of the time I get matched up with 85-89 ovr teams while my team is 70-75 ovr, encouraging me to spend real money on packs to get players. In case I play a balanced rival, the handicap gets ridiculous with me being unable to score (hit the crossbar, and on the rebound I shot again and went to one post) this has happened to me TOO MANY TIMES to be just bad luck. In draft mode (300 fifa points / 15k coins to enter) the handicap is ridiculous with my account. But if I start an alternate account some accounts get handicap and some others don't, so there is an algorythm that rules the handicap.

Popular Post ShadowStar83x Posted January 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2018 Then stop buying their damn games and encouraging this shit! I usually by EA games used or, if I want it new, on eBay. I messed up when I bought The Sims 4 new in blind faith. That won't happen again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GT__Jedi Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Well, at any rate, enough good games out there that not supporting EA isn't a big deal. What is nice is that I doubt that other games want to go down these road(s) and alienate their users/buyers. Nice there are so many developers with good games.

Popular Post Undead Wolf Posted January 8, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2018 Didn't Activision file a patent designed to do this exact thing recently? They claim that they haven't used it in any of their games (yet), but we all know that it's only a matter of time. It doesn't surprise me that EA wants in on this too. As much as I hate EA, they aren't the only scummy publisher out there, they're just the one that gets the most attention. You guys would do well to remember that. AAA gaming as a whole has been getting progressively worse when it comes to anti-consumer practices for a while, but I think it's at breaking point now. It's just endless trash... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redgrave Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 I wouldn't expect any less. But as mentioned above, Activision also tried patenting this out first however it shouldn't be any surprise EA would also give a go at it. Their motto at this point may as well be "When in doubt, double down." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, because rigging multiplayer games and having lootboxes is so much worse than the American banks who literally destroy people's lives so they can gain more and more money! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed this as well, it's probably because people still have a fondness for Rockstar as they used to make good games that carry a lot of nostalgia. They're still becoming shady as fuck though and it's ruined any intention I have of playing RDR2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
