I disagree They got us Seasons the Horsch pack the Fendt 1050 and a lot more mods.FREE. Plus they always communicate with us. It might not be the answer you want but its better than silence. You think they would legitimately not want consoles to get this and lose their cut of the pie?

Think this may be the bone in the console players throat. Had we known.......... maybe we would have not voted. I know I wouldn’t have!!

This sounds like it's aimed at the Mattxjs. Remember he has no control over this - it sounds like there a few issues, but I reiterate, the DLC doesn't have any non-standard scripts and in theory (with the usual compatibility caveats) would be fully compatible with consoles. I know he expected it to be on consoles as did Giants, but if it's not to be it's not to be.

Other than the fictional map proposals (where no real brands are necessary of course) any of the other proposals could and maybe would have these same issues with the same outcome. We'll only know if the Grimme pack has such issues when it is ready, but as it only features one brand it is less likely to fail on that regard.

It's a shame this thread has turned into another console complaining thread. We know one of several reasons why this has failed to appear on consoles. It's a shame it's not possible, and I'm sure Giants will have looked at or are looking into all possible ways to avoid this, but that's the way it is - they're not going to potentially damage their relationships with brands by going against their wishes or circumnavigate their agreements, and if Sony or Microsoft are involved they won't be going around those either (or you might find you wouldn't have FS19 to play on your consoles (and potentially have FS17 removed from your consoles!)).

Remember Giants will hope to make money on this DLC too, so it's not like they would have kept it from consoles for some silly, inconsequential reasons.

In all honesty I thought this particular DLC was aimed at the console players mainly due to the fact it would give them some modern classics to use. We on PC are suitably finished with modern classics so this DLC is of limited interest really. I have only bought it for the Loadall and the Fastrac as I used to drive these in my youth. I already have mods of the TX and the Case and of course we've already got Peter J's 300 series pack. If the two JCB's hadn't been of personal interest I wouldn't have purchased.
I don't normally slate GIANTS but in this instance I think this has been poorly managed. Especially as they must have seen that a lot of interest in the pack was coming from the console players.
If it is a brand licensing issue it doesn't take to much guessing which one it is as we already have classic NH, MF and Case IH in game.
As I said I play on PC and on this occasion and can see why the console players are slightly miffed.

No, but our version works with the Steam version

Maxxum 135 wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 10:09 am Read my post again. Yes all brands are in game but only NH, Case IH, MF have modern classics in game. So work out which brand hasn't got a modern classic in game already.
Nobody's saying they screwed with certain players on purpose.
Perhaps some home work first would have stopped people being disappointed.
As I said I am on PC so makes no difference to me.

We can blame this on our CMs time spent with EA.
