NHL Community Committee

[Gotmilkman24]

Does anyone think our votes will actually matter? I mean cover voting didn't matter?

I think we all need to forget about this one. Good luck to the guys who were voted in and I really hope they make a difference for EASHL. I agree that it sucks to feel like we weren't really considered, but what's done is done and we can't change that. Let's look towards the future committee meetings. The ones we OSers will care more about anyway - gameplay and offline modes. Let's hope that we will be heavily considered for those ones.

(They went at the end of January)

According to one of the GameChangers (the new name for the program), that will be the sole committee and those involved are GameChangers for all aspects of the game.

So yeah, Simple, I do care about it now.

Ya screwed us EA, ya screwed OS hard.

So, there will be no other committees formed based off of other portions of the game? It is going to be those guys for everything, not just online?

How did you find out about this? Because their certainly wasn't any mention of this occurring on OS. Not that we should be surprised, but we are being represented there.

Here's a link and copy-paste of part of a post by one of the GameChangers, from the EA Forums.

"Not long ago a vote was held so that you, the community, can select the best possible representatives to form an EASHL Committee. While at first this committee started its focus solely on the initial
Game mode it was created for, the situation and timing allowed for this group to evolve into one that is more involved in all the other modes as well."

"The biggest change is that this is not just about an EASHL Committee anymore. So for those of you that I talked to and said I would try to bring up other issues if I can, it is now a reality. Please continue to provide what you think could improve the game in the future, including current gameplay issues!"

So we have a bunch of EASHL guys calling all the shots for BaGM? And for rosters? So maybe instead of more player separation, player specific traits, and editable rosters, we might get different colored helmets and skill boosts for using the CCM purple camouflage stick. But don't worry. Instead of more realistic rosters, maybe we will get players skating with a Santa hat on and more black guys with blonde hair.

... Yup

I don't think it will be that outrageous in non-EASHL modes.

I do know that EA cares less than zero about OS, dedicated to sim gaming.

I've seen this mentioned a few times now - that the Gamechangers and the EA devs "share a vision" now. Call me pessimistic, but am I wrong for being absolutely terrified of this vision? I have a bad feeling about the future of this game.
