I think people take internet hate quite lightly, but it's really just not fun when you're on the receiving end. I takes a toll on your personal life (speaking from experience), so you tend to shy away from interacting, or limit/lurk it so it doesn't bring you down. I'm generally a happy and friendly guy, and very used to the hate now tho. But I realized how odd that is when my close friends couldn't understand how I was still in a good mood after they saw the racist comments I got on TW after Price Ranges.
So you can imagine some of the ppl here seeing what I (or Rob) get, and thinking "Why would I ever want to get involved it that?" haha.
I believe just before I joined EA, the producers would talk often in the forums and such. Then I think someone found and posted a producer's home address and threatened them. Cops were sent to their home just to be safe. You might think it was an empty threat but you can't take the chance if you have a family. I'm sure those of you with kids can relate. It was a while ago, but I think that set a tone.
Not saying r/reddit is that kind of place. I've met some of you in person at our Seattle event and still keep in touch (shout out to u/Chvyvele & u/thegraduate). I actually prefer meeting FIFA fans in person vs through computer screens (ever notice how people on the Internet come across as mean, but are nice in person?)
The guys here do like r/FIFA and read it often because it's an older and more mature demographic.
Plus, as Dan says, there are legal restrictions, so you might not get the answers you want. I'll let you know if the prospect moves forward, but please understand this isn't promising anything for now. I'll appreciate your patience until then.
Maybe that 10 question pre-chosen format you mentioned can work. Collect 10 questions from here (today, if you can, hope its not a rush), and I'll see what I can do.
While well intentioned, I don't think this is going to happen. EA has to operate within a legal band of communication, for better or worse (worse, imo). I do have the intention of creating a moderated thread to collect constructive feedback points that I'll pass along to EA - right now I think it's incredibly difficult to separate the signal from the noise due to the massive amounts of hate they're getting at every turn (justifiable as it may be).
I'm glad you responded, as you're one of the only points of contact we have with EA, and that's a BIG, BIG problem.
There are plenty of gaming companies that interact with their community in a much more authentic and consistent manner than EA have done with FUT (it's actually gotten much worse, as since that French guy that did the TOTY stuff left, there's almost never answers from EA on the forums or this subreddit).
I'd really like you to explain why EA can't let us know some answers to these questions. Especially why they're not adjusting things to reflect the market. (Fifa coins/game, tournament prizes, cheaper packs).

Internet hate can have a serious impact on personal life, causing individuals to withdraw or limit their interactions. It's important to understand the toll it takes on people. Threats Peter Veres real estate investment and harassment are not uncommon, even reaching the point of endangering one's family.
