New PC Patch still in Consideration ?

Post by Skyline_man »

A post by EAcomSmoothie (EA rep) was made at the EA Boards 4 days ago regarding the PC patch for NFSC.
> good idea, but it sounds exactly like last time

> finally fixed or Underground 2 or Underground for

> obviously EA seems to care about their customer's
> complaints only to a very small extend

> Psy


Please get all facts before mouthing off in speculation. Bugs, glitches and techincal issues were collected with the diligent help of some key community members as well as the forum mods and sent to the development team for review.

Then we had a little ditty called the holiday break to which some folks have not yet returned from office from.

Until I can get some concrete intel myself, I'm not yet at liberty to say whether there will or will not be a patch. But for the record, it's my recommendation that there be one.

At least we can still hope for one. [-o<

I for one believe a new patch will be released. EA has admitted to having mistakenly locked a few cars in the game. If they don't fix that, and force us to pay extra to download the cars as downloadable content, EA's public image will go down the drain. EA don't want that.

That's all just talk and nothing more, Smoothie has nothing to say about it if it's going to be a patch or not. He did say the same thing when we waited for the 1.4 patch for MW witch EA decided not to make after all like they did promising to do, they just ditched MW and said that they moved on to the next NFS game instead.

EA's contradicting themselves all over the place. The last time in some interview, they said that all work on NFSC was done and they would like to move on to the next game.

Geez, I really wonder how much EA pays EAcomSmoothie to tell all those lies. How does he live up to his conscience???

It's gonna be a miracle if EA really makes another patch for NFSC.

Erm, where exactly is he lying? All he says is he doesn't know. People need to stop reading too much into these things.

Well, he did say that there was going to be another patch regarding unlocking the 'accidently' locked cars but now he claims he doesn't know a thing. Wasn't he making false claims?

The post I read stated only that he was looking into resolving the 911 RS issue, since there are no online moderators to race for the PC platform.
2. PC Moderator Unlock - There is no means of unlocking the 911 currently. I'm looking to ways to resolve this and have a couple options, but I can't talk about them yet as it's in the hands of a few groups within the organization. But rest assured I'm looking to fix it. We made a mistake, no way around it. I'll make it right.
The intention is there. Whether or not he can do anything about it remains to be seen. His intention is probably an honest one, but from his words, it seems that it isn't entirely up to him. So any attempts could be squashed despite any efforts the guy might make.
3. Looking to see what options are available for a PC patch. I've got a comprehensive list of requests that I'll be sending to the team. More on that as it develops. No promises, but they are interested in what I'm collecting.
I really don't see any blatant lies being told in that admin's particular post. There really were no guarantees made. The closest to a promise was the issue with the 911 RS, but even then, the guy stated that it's not entirely up to him to decide how it'll be resolved. He mainly stated an intent to make things right.

If those higher up in EA tell the coders that they won't be making patches, that they'll be committing their time to the next game, then that's all there is to it.
