How naive can you be?
How about EA's decision to knowingly release a broken product?
Sure, things take time to fix. But why do they need to be fixed in the first place? And why does it take 1/6 of the games lifespan to possibly allow consumers to use a functioning version of the product? Other games release patches in anywhere from a few days to a week or so. EA consistently lies about the patch and certification process and in turn takes a completely unreasonable amount of time to do what they should be able to do rather quickly.
Please, if attempting to blindly defend EA, do so reasonably. Offer accurate and reasonable arguments.
Also, I'd like to comment on the shameful and fraudulent nature of game critics and reviewers (OS included). Aren't critics supposed to offer objective and accurate reviews of a game? Why instead do they provide intellectually dishonest advertisements for the companies they have relationships with?
OS, IGN, etc have acted shamefully in their coverage of Fifa 11. Not one of these "game critics" touch upon the fact that each of the game modes advertised in the game are completely broken. How about the fact that none of the "new features" work as advertised. How about the fact that EA REMOVED several features from Fifa 10?
Shameful stuff.
