Win/win, but at the end of the day the game will be released and you can choose to buy it or not.

You said that as if "I" don't care and haven't tried everything listed. Its falls clearly on EA for how bad this closed beta has operated, not on if people care enough!! Like aholbert ive been to EA Vancouver as a gamechanger, owned every UFC game released, still play the hell out of UFC 1 online, and 100% buying UFC 2. Your comment was directed as if 1) I didnt care enough to try 2) Just trolling EA and might not even purchase the game.

Those are both completely wrong assessments, im a devoted EA UFC fan and have tried everything to get into the beta. I cant fix the closed beta issues of guys like myself not getting a code, all I can do is complain how its not working.

I think you are overreacting a little Phobia. There is nothing in GPD's statement that was directed at what you have done to get in the beta. If anything he was agreeing with you in saying that it shouldnt be that big of deal.

Look, everybody agrees that this system has been screwed up from the jump. ****, half of the gamechangers havent been able to register for the beta and they worked on the game.

EA's communication regarding this whole thing has been piss poor. One, even though they in all their communications they said "a chance to participate", they shouldve made it clear that not every one would be able to get a code. Two, I think we all agree it shouldve been an open beta.

With that said, the steps GPD and I listed have worked for some people. I've seen a good amount of people realize that they entered the wrong email or their preferences or location was wrong and thats why it isnt working. It sucks that people like you and BCruise have done all the right things and still cant get in.

Apparently there are more invited being made available on Thursday so keep trying and hopefully this will work out.

Maybe I am but the two comments of "people took the time to sign up because they care" and "you can buy it or not" to me came off how i responded.

My take on it could be wrong, it just seemed snarky to me. I'm just frustrated.

I get it. Yeah, I took those comments like "I agree thats its not that big of a deal because 1) its only a week long beta and its not like you wont have the chance to buy the game later and 2) EA will still have plenty of people who are able to get in so that they can stress test the game." Thats why I think he said "win/win".

Anyway, it sucks because a good deal of the issues have been solved by people using their origin account or changing the preferences.

Yes, I would love to get my paws on the beta but Im not fighting and jumping through all these hoops. Sent from da lil phone.

Even though I'm already registered, I agree with Phobia. Why not just make it an open beta and release it on PS Store and XBL store? Why make it difficult and have people sign up?

A simple way to do the closed beta would've been to do it like Black Ops 3 and allow those who pre-order to get access. No lottery system, and they'd get feedback from those who've already invested into the product

Thats not a GPD or dev question though. Thats an EA question and probably a question for someone much higher up.

I know, I wasn't directing it at GDP, just speaking aloud. I just think it would be easier and better for everyone.
