the problem with EA is that they no longer innovateIve noticed EA be trying to force stories in their sports games. Like with Madden you had to be a QB. Nobody plays My Player and has to be forced into a position. Thats so lame
they have so much money, they just take other people's ideas
for instance. Take Two, made, imo, the BEST two football games EVER
ESPN2k5 and APF 2k8
EA, gets the NFL to make them the exclusive maker of NFL games. There have been companies that wanted to make football games, but b/c people are so brainwashed and have to have REAL nfl teams, those games wont sell. I thought you could just get the NFLPA license and at least have the real players, but apparently, no one wants to play with the Dallas Westerns.
Or, you look at how 2k did with MyPlayer, and how it started off as just a separate piece of dlc, and look how its blossomed into its own mode
EA, doing what EA does...decides "hey...all of our games need some sort of story line now"...but they just half ass it
