The FVPA are pleased to report that Garreth Reeder (Online Producer) was able to spend a little bit of time in his very hectic run up to Fifa 12 Launch to answer some questions posed by the FVPA Clubs Community.
We work hard to run one of the biggest and busiest dedicated Clubs forums around and bring exciting new features to our loyal fanbase! But its not just about a Website or Forum, we really do care about the Game Mode Clubs. Three of the staff here Kelley, Mark and Spike are EA GameChangers (A small number of Community Reps who put time into talking with, testing and giving feedback on Fifa with EA) - It's important for us to ensure that the feedback we receive regarding Clubs mode is directed through to the right people who will take it in. We can't guarantee feedback or suggestions will be implemented but we can tell you, that the times where EA have come back to us and asked to do research on a particular issue, we have done.
It's an exciting time for us with the recent acknowledgement of Garreth Reeder willing to answer some of the questions we put forward from the community. What does Garreth think of the FVPA "I love the concept, and would like to hear gripes/thoughts/suggestions early in the fall to see what we can do for FIFA 13" - It may seem a bit premature to start talking about FIFA 13 so soon after release of FIFA 12, but with no major features being released this time around and the main focus being on fixing what is already there, then we are ready to talk if suggestions will be heard before the game is locked down to be produced.
We really hope that FIFA 12 is more stable and glitch free and gives everyone an even better experience than last year for a longer period of time! When the time is right we will welcome your constructive feedback and suggestions and put them to EA - Help the FVPA do everything they possibly can to shape the future of Fifa Clubs!
Here is our Interview with Garreth Reeder!
1.What will be the biggest change to clubs this year?Just the effort of a year dedicated to stability, testing, etc. Not that Clubs was not focused on this in the past in these areas, but typically features have come in late and have been difficult to debug. This year we really focused on fixing bugs.
2.Will there be any changes to the practice mode?No changes this year (other than bug fixes).
3.Will Creation Centre become a part of clubs?We looked at this, but the feature wasn’t ready for us to be confident in really nailing it this year. We will start off FIFA 13 by looking into this.
4.Will there be measures in place to prevent quitters before 5 minutes?No. We played with the idea of removing the window, but eventually decided that it would hurt more than help. We will look more into what we can do here for FIFA 13.
5.Will playing Clubs have any effect on EA SPORTS Football Club?Yes, everything you do in FIFA 12 will go towards your EAS F.C. XP.
6. If I signed for another Club and then back to my previous club, will my stats reset like they do in Fifa 11?Yes, no change here. Your lifetime stats never reset, but your ‘Club’ stats do. This is unfortunately pretty difficult for us to change.
7.Will we be able to assign squad numbers?No, I'm afraid not. Initially we looked at simply allowing each player to use their VP kit number, but this didn’t make it in in the end. We were very focussed on other more important (relatively) things, as above.
8.Regarding matchup screen will you actually be able to scroll down to see every player?We fixed some bugs here, definitely, but I have still seen this crop up at times. Brutal honesty for you there - but it should be better.
9. How has the in-game chat been improved for Fifa12?For PS3, there were some Sony fixes that went in. This has been an issue for everyone, not just FIFA. They do recommend people use their own brand headsets for best quality.
10.Are you planning on removing VP stats on ready screen to avoid runners?Yes, we did this.
11.Has the tournament section been improved?We haven't changed anything here. I would like to see the response to Cups in Head to Head Seasons in FIFA 12... and then we'll be able to better assess things for the future.
12.Will Centre Backs still be positioned in the wall regarding free-kicks in Fifa12?There's no change here that I know of...
13. It's been well documented regarding problems with servers/lag, is there any news in the pipeline to combat these problems?See our post on the EA forums on this. We've put a lot of work into making things better.
14.Have you ever visited FVPA, and what's are your thoughts?I have... just started following on twitter too. I love the concept, and would like to hear gripes/thoughts/suggestions early in the fall to see what we can do for FIFA 13.
