Content creators are ruining MUT

whiplash13 said:

I am not misplacing blame, EA is 100% to blame.  Unless people cut them off financially, they will continue to do the things they do.  Content Creators, aside from being big spenders themselves, also incentivize their viewers to buy packs because they showed the awesome LTD they pulled.  So unfortunately, any boycott you try to put in place on EA would have to include not watching content creators as well since they help feed EA as well and proliferate the spending behavior.

Once a company goes big, there’s no going back. MLB The show is still better than madden when it comes to free content but they’ve grown a lot over the last 5 years and it shows as people still want MLB The Show 17 days back

It happens in every field of business. Companies get wider spread, cut benefits, cut costs, reduce customer service satisfaction and increase profits any way possible. 

We did a pack boycott a few years ago and the Toke Nasty “Lil Jimmy” movement. It changes EA’s patterns for like a month max and then they go back to their old ways because they remain an enterprise.

What silly little game? I’m not engaging in hypotheticals. It’s clear you can’t or don’t want to address the issue with EA being the only company that has the NFL’s licensing. Enjoy your day bro.

No I don't think  EA is a good company  , I understand its the only company that makes an NFL  game but if I didn't enjoy it  I wouldn't keep playing and purchasing it . You are not forced to buy  it and or play it .  Also sorry I fixed the hypothetical were you couldn't lawyer your way out of it . I also wish they did have competition because it would force them to make a better game ,  for example Marvel Rivals forced Overwatch to improve there game . As of now it the game and company we have , and if i overall enjoy ill play it once I don't ill stop .

I agree with most of your points here but hitting them where it hurts, their pocket, can make a difference.  Look at Budweiser for example.  Their marketing campaign didn't work, they took a huge financial hit from it and they changed their behavior.  

Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with their marketing campaign, is irrelevant so please don't hijack this post on the politics of this campaign.

The point is that consumer behavior can make a change.  Yes, the last time we did a pack strike in '22.  It was heard but they really didn't change, because they were thriving financially.  Now their business is down and hitting them financially on this title would weaken them even more making them more likely to listen to their customers.  

The only other option here is to do nothing, but then I want to stop hearing people complain about the game if you aren't willing to do anything about it.  It's shut up or put time.

How about EA banning coin buying accounts and all these guys promote coins

Never got that one lol

You'd think this would be a no brainer for a greedy corporation such as EA, but it is just another example of how they have yet to find an Identity for MUT and commit to a specific direction. Instead they try and make all of the cry-babies happy, and by attempting to make everyone happy, no one ends up being actually happy.

yeah definitely a stratergy but like i said we’ve done this several times already and EA changes for one promo lol. they start giving back and then next minute they resort to their old ways once again. 

it’s a vicious cycle I’m afraid

They ban them for competitive play IE they cant be part of the MCS  and cant be a sponsored streamer  but I don't think the can ban there EA account because of there adds or sponsorship .

CC is fine, he says the packs aren’t worth it he spends money on and he does spend a good chunk of coins on packs which is good

itsdom and guttfox are by far the worst

Gutfoxx is odd to me, highly entertaining in my personal opinion, and easily one of the most critical of EA out of all of them, but then he also turns around and opens $200+ worth of packs. To me it seems he used to constantly make videos complaining and trying to get EA to improve years ago, he had a podcast episode or two with MMG just shitting on EA, multiple times, and he always made the "X things EA took out of Madden" and he would shit on them there all the time too. But I feel 1. He's addicted, for all he complains, he still opens packs all the time, and let's be honest, a lot of us do this too, complain all the time about how much we hate EA but then go and buy packs 2. He realized there's no hope of them changing and it was killing his viewership being so negative all the time and he caved into making clickable content instead. Idk....but yeah ItsDom has leaned heavily into the clickbait and ridiculousness because it makes him more money. Sad time man, we're all addicted to a game that doesn't love us back.
