E-Mails to EA

[yummybunny]

There are pokemon MMOs, but are ruined by stupid kids, not being able to play.  Then there are mean people, and cheaters, and it's just not fun.

They need one released by Nintendo, instead of fan-made.

And I think that June is a little too soon to make quality games on all those consoles and stuff.  Sound to me like they are just throwing together some code, and bad graphics, to make a product that at least won't crash, and sell it to all the kiddies or grown idiots...or people who just really don't know.

Then don't the screenies on the back of the box always look better than the game?  The only console game I liked of The Sims was the original one for Xbox and PS2.

same here. i bought bustin out 'cause i thought it would be good as well but it was bad, really bad and slow.... {yawn}

and you're right, june is a bit too soon to make the game fit the consoles.

and it always looks better on the box, remember the trailer for the sims 2? with the guy getting married and having kids and one is causing fire and so. i never had that happen in the sims 2 but that was 'cause it just wasn't possible. they misled(sp?) us and they'll do it again. we'll have high hopes for the sims 3 after seeing all the vids and pics but when we play the game we'll be able to tell that we can't even do a bunch of things that happen in the trailer.

All the really good things in TS3 trailers, I don't expect half of them to happen.

The runaway bride thing, I think will happen.  That BET not be for marketing.

When I first got TS2, I was trying to find for months how to spit fire out my mouth, rip off my shirt, throw out my sim's....um...lady thingies...and hop on the sofa to make out.  Then pregnancy wasn't even that close to fattness in that video.  You couldn't push your kids out the house, make them go to college, have a graduation party, or take wedding pictures.

I had the Urbz for NDS...it was the first game for the NDS, and I was really lucky to get the NDS for Christmas when it first came out.  I still have that same NDS, but no sorry Urbz. My cousin had the PS2 kind, and I couldn't even play that game...I wasn't patient enough.

a console version simply can never be as good as the pc version.

like a book thats being made as a film. for example: HP is much better as a book.

i bought my own DS after not having to pay for a puppy my self i was so happy that i got it, till i noticed that nintendo rarely bring out good rpgs and that most of the games on the DS are made for babies... ???

[yummybunny]

Exactly why I don't have to buy games for it anymore.,,cuz I found an alternative.

So I'm happy and my DS is happy.

this was a depressing week for sim fans...i hope EA realises that.

[yummybunny]

I do not see what the heck was good news about any of that news.

Whoever written that article had to be a really depressed dude, to think of that as good news, or a big butt...who says, "At least it's not fall, so shut up!"

at least it's not fall...YET. i've lost all faith in EA

[yummybunny]

For real, one of the...well, the only company where I will always pay off the game when I come pick it up.

Usually, this is the time where I start paying off games, because every other company don't abuse their fans like this.

EA is getting a balloon head.  They think that their franchise is so big, so superior, that they can do whatever they want.  I hope and know TS3 on consoles won't sell well anyways.  With the reputation they have now with consoles and handhelds, even a lot of kids know that TS3 is gonna be stupid, because they had the stupid TS2 on DS or whatever, or know someone, why buy the stupid game for their DS or whatever.

I actually enjoyed the Urbz for GBA. Though it didn't even touch The Sims, it kept me entertained and busy. I can't imagine that it would be fun for DS though. My favorite part was towards the end of the game decking out my house, shopping on the computer, and riding my motorcycle around the city and all the other places. Granted, I did not go out and spend money on this game. My sisters friend gave it to her. There are a few games I would spend my precious limited money on, but there are plenty I would play for free to kill time.

And to bring up something I read earlier, I think maybe in a different thread. The Sims IS the biggest selling FRANCHISE. I think because anyone can play it. I found out about it from my teenage cousin, note, a guy. I think plenty of guys play it, they just don't tell their macho friends. I had four guys at my old school who were as obsessed as me. But they also bought the console games. I know the Legend of Zelda games always sell like CRAZY. But, I myself have never actually bought and paid for one. I think a lot more people are willing to buy the Sims, because it's a chill game. With shooters and console games, you have a story line and goals and stuff, so you want to make damn sure it's a good one. Especially since these days they are getting really pricey. Crysis, now, that is a high demand game. But, most people only play a few PC games. Most people don't have the kind of computer Crysis demands. Good alternative to boredom? A Sims game.

I think the e-mails are worth it. Even if they don't get read, the fact that out of no where their inboxs will be filled will make them go, uh ohhhhhhh. You write out one email, send it to the at least four listed addresses we have used. Multiply four by a few hundred fans? EA will know to be careful about ignoring the community. Because the community obviously noticed and was obviously so bothered they even wrote emails. I would never bother writing emails about delayed games, but, the way EA did it and for the reasons they did? They are getting away with too much.
