Message: <blockquote data-quote="MonkeyGrass" data-source="post: 94010" data-attributes="member: 3108">Part of the issue, at least for me and my circle that play PHOF and TPA, is that many of the tables have seriously regressed from PHOF.  BK, NGG, etc...  They look like crap and others have serious game-ending bugs.  Problems that didn't exist on the 5 year old version of the tables...  this makes very little sense and screams lack of QC.  Sorry.  When you hear things like "we have no idea what happened to BK with the PS3 port"... I mean - seriously?  You wrote the code, created the port, and now have no IDEA why it looks like crap and lags out to the point of being unplayable?  After it's been out for well over a year?  That's weak sauce, yo.  If anyone ought to know what's going here, it would be the guys who wrote the code, no?The PS3 stuff is just half baked.  Which is a real surprise to me, seeing at it was the initial platform that FS launched on, and one would think that they would be the most polished table sets, not the other way around.As I've stated before, it's very obvious to me that FS is spending a TON of resources on platforms that are not paying dividends right now (PS4, XBox 360, Ouya) and that's killing those of us that play on the core consoles and mobile platforms.  I STILL don't understand the Ouya thing.  I give that device about 9 months before it's dead in the water.  Why spend the resources programming for such a niche device, when your CORE PLAYERS are dealing with these kinds of issues?  I don't get it.IF FS would simply take one month, and fix the major, game killing bugs and look into the graphical issues on PS3, that would mean a LOT to us hard-core, long term players.  And it's not just the "few with post counts" posting it over and over.  I registered here after finding multiple awful bugs (documented with pictures and confirmed replicated) on the latest 2 PS3 releases.  I go thru the trouble to document this and post it up in the specific BUG thread....  with absolutely ZERO response from anyone at FS.  Not even a confirmation of "we see there's a problem and will put in on the list".  Nothing. At. All.  Again, total weak sauce.  You've got users doing paid beta testing and telling you what's wrong with the game, and they don't even appear to care enough to say "Hey thanks, we'll work on that when we get a chance!" That, IMO, is the real problem.  A complete lack of acknowledgement of the issues, or even an official "Bug Fix" list that keeps track of what's been identified, what's currently being fixed, and what's left to fix.  This is standard Software Dev 101 stuff here guys, really.Will I continue to play TPA?  Sure.  Are there about 4-5 tables that I have bought and paid for that I never play?  You betcha.  It's sad when I have to go back to a 2009 era disc to play BK, instead of the brand new "updated" version that is unplayable on TPA.</blockquote>
