EA Sports: We Hate Our Fans Part Deuce

A lot of people were upset about the last article which was called “drivel” and then getting their hopes up when they said “EA announced immersion upgrades coming to the NHL series on Xbox One and PS4”. I recall EA making that same statement when they announced Madden 25 on the next gen systems promising us this…


But instead we got this…


You have to understand something…I don’t receive any compensation from Fangirl Review. I write these articles because I enjoy it. I would never post “ill-informed tripe” for clicks and views, especially when all of my facts can be found online. If I wanted to stroke my ego I would simply look in the mirror (conceited). Now for the people who, so narrow mindedly, said, “Don’t buy the game” in response to my statement “As a fan what can we do to get it in EA’s head that we want change, and that you can’t keep screwing us each year with the same game with minor tweaks?”. Realistically do you think one person is going cause a ripple effect if I stop buying a game? Or do you think everyone across the world will stop buying a game in unison? Now having competition would be a realistic answer. In 2010 Natural Motion released a game called Backbreakers, now despite the mediocre reviews, it was praised for the animation system, and how realistic the physical gameplay was. EA saw this and created a New Infinity Engine that improved tackle animations. Though minor, Natural Motion created a spark that led EA to making changes. You don’t need NFL licensing to make a great football game, you simply just need a great football game. Having competition keeps people on their toes, it challenges them to step their game up and create something that will make them standout on the next series. It’s not just sports; you see that in Call of Duty/Battlefield, Forza/Gran Turismo, and even console wars.

  1. I agree with you Rich. I said a few weeks ago in a podcast that maybe what EA needs to do is take a couple of years off and do online upgrades for the game for the roster updates and things of that nature. That way they can focus on the engine and do something that will truly be groundbreaking and amazing.

  2. Right. They take a couple of years off for the Fight Night series, and those games are amazing.

    You're going to keep getting the same game into perpetuity with this attitude.
