Fire the Producers!!!

«1
They need to go.

Put game development into the hands of designers who aren't incompetent. First SimCity now this. They clearly need to take a back seat. Who the heck OK'd the decisions made in this game?

I miss the old Maxis.

Rachel Franklin? BYE!

    Actually, the game devs have to do what the producers say, so your hate is misguided.

    I know I also called them designers. But if the producers don't fit under that definition, then that's another reason to get rid of them.

    I would definitely be happy to see some fresh faces. Not at all happy with the direction the sims is going in.

    No, I am pretty sure they hit it right on target...

    This was forewarned to us last year when they fired a bunch of gurus who all claimed how bad this game was. It was not bitterness, it was the truth. I will play this game, but I will not buy it.

    This won't help because every thread that links to this video (especially on the first page) seems to get deleted.

    However, they are going to lock and remove it soon because it is defamation towards the company.

    Mhmm. All those fired SimGuru's shed some light on how the Maxis team is all about office politics, and how incompetent their leadership was.

    It's time to FIRE the producers. Bring in people who don't suck.

    I went back, and I mis-read one important word in what you say (aren't instead of are), so partially my bad.

    And Also no, Game Designers are not Producers, Game designers also have to listen to the producers.

    I know. But producers should consider themselves game designers FIRST and administrative personnel SECOND.

    Perhaps that is part of the problem?

    But it's TRUE. Why do they want to hide their true nature? :lol:

    That's rhetorical....

    Stand a little taller
    Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone
    What doesn't kill you makes a fighter

    Of course they'll lock it. But I stand by what I'm saying. I have been playing the Sims since 2002 and the current decision-makers have almost RUINED the franchise.

    We need NEW people working on this franchise. I take no happiness in wishing for someone's firing, but that's what it's come to. SOMEONE needs to do the job RIGHT. The current producers clearly aren't.

    Stop this unless thalk about who's right about producers and things.
    To the OP: I would change the title, because ea won't keep this topic. It's ok to hate (wow never knew I would say this one time), but not with the burning and stuff ;-)

    They could just be shuffled off to work on a game that's more suited to their ideas.

    No, producers are pretty much have to be how they are in the game development world, because someone HAS to be the person that over sees ever step in the game development as each part (the designers, the coders, the art people, etc.) is sooooooo labor intensive. All producers should honestly know ever part though, so they don't set unrealistic goals; which unrealistic goals 100% is what the problems Sims 4 was facing.

    So yeah, 100% agree that the producers suck, I just originally thought you were bashing the dev team, but that part I was reading to fast! :XD:

    I'm the OP. I will say what needs to be said. We all know its true.

    The people in charge of this game's design are incompetent, and they need to go. At least place them somewhere else in the company where they wont do as much damage.
