Unfinished game?

[Badhabbitsdiehard]

Dear hylis and devs…
I know you say what you have to say, and I know that you are frustrated but… why do you release a unfinished game? I’ve studied marketing for 5½ years now, this is as bad a case as it can be, and I am afraid you don’t even realized that yet. The franchise has been dying since the implementation of freezone, all of the casual players left week after week and to break that downwords spiral you’ve tried numerous things, pretty much everything failed. The biggest probably been you trying to shovel Canyon down our throats. I know you have to make money, we all do, but the essentials that made this game huge are long gone. I’ve been a part of the community the last 10 years, since I was a little boy; I have seen what this game is capable of, and the things that went wrong down the road.
There is not even a single doubt that Rocket League took the place TM would have had if you’d play your cards right years ago, and the damage control you are now trying to do with TMt is off to a horrible start. The game has been hyped for so long now and we all feared what was going to happen at the release, and the most common opinion has been, they probably fuck it up.
We’ve seen big hyped games die just days after the release because it was unplayable, bad optimized, too expensive, countless bugs, and poor planning. You decide to release the game at easter, great job at planning, when a lot of people is off from school and work! But the first hand impression is what is most important, especially if you want new players to the community or old ones to come back. The game will get a bad reputation from the start, and it is hard to shake off and you will lose many players just because of that. The market phycology is that people want to play what their friend’s play, that’s the main reason why e-sport became so huge today, you can make the best marketing, if the game is not there to support it, it will simply just die.
I don’t even understand that you would release a game that hasn’t been this badly tested. Xinput support? Almost every pad that is not xbox or ps use xinput and you simply didn’t add that, you can’t say that it has been a hard fix to implement? I know you just has to say it to make yourself look good! I don’t even know where to start and end, and my whole post is messy as hell, but so is your game, so I think we talk same language here.
Make some serious damage control here NADEO, or you will suffer the same fate as many other games that had a bad release!

(fix cars on/off, hud on/off, shitty ui on/off, terrible sound effects on/off, controls! And all the other things people complain about…. Cam 1….. really? You got a great game in this, don’t fuck it up)
