I was wondering what kind of QA process you put your products through. I love this game, don't take it the wrong way, but it seems like a lot of bugs that should have logically been tested by QA were not or were overlooked.

Great game.. just curious is all.

What makes you so sure Q&A overlooked them?

well.. the controller bug for one..

i do not know much about it, but it seems that you would test each controller config and ensure it's working properly.

Q&A very well could have found the bug and Ubi ignored them. They find the bugs but have no power to make the devs fix it. Or the devs have no power to make the higher ups give them more time.

thank you. i understand that. i am a software engineer and fully understand the QA process.

but why would ubi make the descision to not fix something like that?

I dont know and I'm not saying with 100 % certainty thats what happened here. But like you said bugs like the lefty controller glitch are pretty obvious so its doubtful it slipped by Q&A. Possible, but not likely. Why would Ubi not fix it? I dont know, but keep in mind in November the Xbox 360 is set to launch. If Ubi delayed the game until after then theyd be hard pressed to chharge $50 for a game on the old Xbox. Or it could be simple incompetence in either/both Q&A or the dev team. Or some other factor we dont know. The only thing I do no for a fact is its unexcuseable.

I just wanted to see if someone from ubi could update me on it.
