Invasive ingame ads

Sparckus · 19-09-2009, 11:28 PM

EA when did you get my consent to use my bandwidth to download invasive adverts and shove them in my face while I'm playing a game I paid for (Fight Night 4, PS3)?

I wouldn't mind that much (would still want my consent asked for) if they were discreet e.g. just on posters / screens in the background but you have slapped them in the middle of the ring (takes up the whole ring) and on the loading screen.

So EA when are you going to stick an option in the settings menu to disable the ads?

This is hurting me BIG TIME.
I hope EA takes them away before I sell the game. Ads in a game in such a bad manner shouldn't be. EA gets money for getting on the nerves of the customer.

Hope somebody has help or knows the trick to turn the ads off. They're terrible.

Yes, they are extremely irritating.

I for one will be actively avoiding any products advertised in this manner until this is fixed.

me, too.
no more new EA games as long as ali and tyson are covered with ads.

Well its been a week and still no official reply on this. Nice to see that the legendary EA customer service is living up to to its name.

Looks like I'll just be disabling my internet connection whenever I play the game from now on then. If one of you do get round to even bother reading this it would be nice if you could at least post the EA ad servers IPs as then I could just add them to my blacklisted addresses.
