EA Sports UFC 2 Closed Beta Launches on January 28

[davidbix]

I think there's something missing here.

I opted in on the 8th via the link that everybody wast told to use.

When everything went down yesterday, I checked my contact preferences and there was no "UFC" box to check off. I only saw one on the special page added today for people with difficulty signing up. I would think the "opt-in" should have taken care of that, but clearly it didn't. If they didn't properly update the site to include "UFC" in the contact preferences, that probably ties into this all somehow.

Copy/pasted from a post I made on the UFC forums:

This is the last post I will make about the beta registration process because it's all I have left to share and I need to focus on bug fixing.

The concept is simple.

Everyone who played UFC 1 has an Origin account associated with the game.

EA wants to email out all those people a beta invite, and there is limited space in the beta.

Since lots of people use fake email addresses, lost their passwords, opted out of emails communication on their Origin account (meaning EA can't email them if they want to) they sent out that tweet asking people to update their email address associated with the account and opt in to receive emails, hoping to get more up to date info before sending out the beta invite.

Late this past week, they pulled all the data from the database and sent out the email.

People who got the email could register for the beta.

Now for various different reasons, some people thought they opted in but actually didn't.

Or they opted in on the wrong account.

Or maybe something else went wrong.

So there's one more chance to update your info. When you update your info you don't get any notification that it "worked". All you're doing is updating your info.

Some time after the new deadline, someone will manually pull the data again, and send a new round of beta invites to people who are opted in with a UFC 1 Origin account, and hadn't already received an email.

If you think the account you're opting in with was the one registered with the game, but it isn't, you'll have updated you info correctly but you won't be in the database to get an email, and you won't be able to register.

Verify the account is the one associated with the game. Double check that, it's very important.

I don't think you will get any confirmation that anything is setup correctly until this *manual* process is done.

There is still lots of space left in the beta to my understanding.

This will be the last time they send out invites to my understanding.

So follow the instructions to the best of your ability, and wait.

If you don't get the email, you won't be eligible to register (despite stories to the contrary, that's what I've been told).

I really want everyone here to get in, but if something goes wrong on your end or ours during this last wave of sign ups, it will likely be too late to correct.

So just follow the instructions as closely as you can and hope for the best.

There's nothing more you can do than that.

Okkkk well I guess no beta for me. Far far to much BS just to try the game a couple weeks early. I dont understand why these things have to be treated like you are winning the lottery. Yes, I would love to get my paws on the beta but Im not fighting and jumping through all these hoops.

Because to some people it is like winning the lottery I guess.

But you're right, it's not that big a deal.

We want some people to help stress test the game, and there are enough people who care enough to take the time to sign up to play the game early.

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

This was handled SO poorly. And I couldn't agree with you more, Phobia. You're dead on

I did not have any issues signing up and registering for the beta. I literally just had to update my info, and opt in then wait until I received the beta registration email, and signed up for it. Not hard.

I've done absolutely everything I can. Today I switched my email to a different one, verified it (receiving the email for verification, so not everything from EA is getting lost) and reset the opt-in preferences. Nothing (nor did I expect it, since that wasn't the email I registered UFC with)

Switched back to the original email, got the email verification again, reset the preference again, and still nothing.

At this point I'm done with it unless I get lucky and the change went in without me receiving the opt in email - it's not worth the frustration. Enjoy the beta guys!
