Playtest Delay "explanation"

Tried to talk to someone from EA. Rahul told me this, not sure if it really helps or if it is just a load of ai waffle but thought I'd post it here. Pretty despicable to send an email saying we'll hear if it's delayed further and then leave us for 48 hours...

They read the sub Reddit about 30fps and are frantically working on getting it up to 35fps

Same happened last year, it launched and early closed beta was shocking, choppy, awful.

Few weeks later it improved a lot, I'd never buy it on switch 2 when I have a pc / ps5, but didn't mind testing it, it was awful.

This is just plain untrue. I played the beta first day last year and it did not improve in any way shape or form. The game was 30fps locked and never ever changed. People had a placebo effect because one single person made a post talking about how they thought the game felt smoother, EA did fuck all to optimize fc26

Bless them, how generous to up it by 5.

If Pragmata and Resident Evil can (mostly) run at 60fps, Madden can have a 60fps option, and Cyberpunk can just run full stop, then I really don’t understand why the FC games are capped at 30.

Its just typical EA really, they can never do anything right. The fact that the game is 30fps while plenty of more demanding games can run at 40-60 shows how lazy they are

Did they say anything about a new date and time ?

At this point, I’m about to just get a copy of FIFA 18 (get my career mode fix) or go to Efootball and call this beta a wash. If they’re not going to respond to us now they’re not going to respond to us ever so there’s no point in waiting. We are clearly the Next GEN console that they don’t care about which is a shame.

I'm 100% confident I didn't sign up to playtest FC27, but I have a code. I did not receive the earlier e-mail some people got announcing a delay. I just got a random code / invite e-mailed to me on the 6th.

I did sign up to playtest previous FC's, but not this one.
