Or maybe it starts out just normally and gets better as it does with any sound system. If you can assume the negative, why not assume in the other direction as well? I think thats why everyone gets on you.
Just because the sound gets better with upgrades, doesn't mean the sound is going to start off horribly.
But why should something, like music, or sound, be "improved" in game from an upgrade when we are playing a game? Like, it doesn't make sense, what can the upgrade do? Make the sound bass louder, treble, unlock more songs? It just sounds like a "limitation" put in place until you buy into the gimmick.
As a total sound nut, i don't like anything that messes with the sound purely gimmick wise, it should always be at it's best.
This is like the exact same as going oh the game will "Look better" the further you get into it, or, car texture increases as you upgrade it or something silly and absurd like that.
Everyone can get on me all they like but I don't see how this can be a good thing when the sound in game should be optimal to begin with. You don't make your game look or sound worse until you do something IN GAME to make it better, that's borked thinking.
Unless we are all overreacting (me lol) and it just unlocks songs why must EA always be so damn SHADY about this stuff...
Like with MT we only know it's auto only thanks to youtubers, they have failed to publicly state this fact which could influence people quite a bit, see what I mean we always have to dig and dig because EA marketing is never up front.
