EA's doing better than they used to. They're actually putting out better games than they did last year and before. Maybe if you started your trolling a few years ago you would have gotten more support, but for now, you're just ranting.

What with all of the hate towards EA just because yahtzee doesn't like EA doesn't mean you can't nor does it make it "cool" not to.

And also how the fuck are they supposed to make a sports game drastically different from the last one THEY CAN'T CHANGE HOW THE FUCKING SPORT IS PLAYED.

and yet you buy there games. Keep in mind that some games by EA are good or at the least fairly decent.

Such as
Dead space
Army of two (Decent if you have a friend)
The need for speed series (Sure the series is declining but at first it was good.)
Skate
Battlefield
Mirrors edge
and LOTR conquest

All these games share the Ea logo.

i'm more than happy to give them a chance.
i was really only talking about the sports games, but it appears they've been much more busy outside the sports genre than i realised.

Agreed; they are turning themselves around. look at thier line up of games recently and tell me you didn't respect EA for the effort they put into them: Dead Space, Mirrors Edge, Spore, Burnout Paradise and Skate 2.

I concur!
If it was me I'd be seriously peeved if all of a sudden Madden 10 included Rugby rules as a method to "Mix it up a bit"
"What do you MEEAAN I cant pass forward?, What? Why are we taking a lineout?"

I cant see that going down too well

EA have really turned their game (oh yes, punny I know) around these last couple of years, I don't understand the hate they continue to receive. Now activision-blizzard on the other hand, 8 Guitar Hero titles announced with more on the way this year alone! If they can't flood the market with a franchise they are not interested... *stares longingly at Brutal Legend*

I think your title shoud be "when will sports games die?" That's what they're re-releasing every year

Mirror's Edge and Spore? Are you kidding me?

Burnout Paradise - meh.

Skate 2 - meh.

Only Dead Space caught my eye.

On the other hand, look at 895189257129 add-ons to Sims 2, too early release of Warhammer Online and of course, MORE AND MORE Tomb Raiders, NHLs, FIFAs (even if every next PES game is better) without improving anything. Graphics don't count, and even if they did, it's a poor improvement.

I'm so fed up with EA. They make the same game over and over again, making tiny tweaks to it every time and they're not even any GOOD. NBA street 1 & 2 aside, they've never made anything remotely top-notch. Also they are bastards for hoarding all the rights to all the players.

The worst in my opinion is FIFA. It's just lazy and I don't care any more. Since 2000 they've consistently made the same constricting awful game.
Why oh why do people still buy their games? ESPECIALLY when they already have an earlier version of it anyway!!? Someone explain this mind-fuck to me.
Your rant here is effectively about EA Sports, not EA in general. When you look at sports titles, there isn't much you can update from year to year, and in that light I actually think they do a good job thinking up new little things to put into each title. That being said, I am not a sports fan, so I don't play their titles that often (aside from the ones my friends have worked on, or the one I worked on myself).

The rest of EA is a solid entity that, like most companies, creates both outstanding, and subpar titles. Consider that Mass Effect, Boom Blox, the Battlefield series, Dead Space, and various other titles are all EA titles.

Take a moment to get off the "Hate EA" bandwagon and actually look at what the company releases and what their practices are, then come back with some valid arguments.

EA is already dead.

... or should I say undead? They are basicly like a zombie.
