If you understand the process, you end up appreciating the game you buy every year a whole lot more. Should you ever get to visit Tiburon, you will come away with that impression, because every single person who visits Tiburon comes away with that impression. If you don't understand the process - or worse deliberately choose to ignore or disrespect the process with closed-minded opinions like "EA is lazy" / "EA doesn't care" / "the only thing that matters is the end product" - you should have no expectation that your opinions will be taken seriously by those actively involved in that process when you offer uninformed criticism about how poorly you think they are doing their jobs.

All this is true, but there is nothing unreasonable about disagreeing with their priority list. While I can understand the financial motivations for Long Play (and maybe even artistic motivation for the guys who made it), I certainly don't like it, given that these are the exact sort of things I'd love to see in Franchise mode (more in depth presentation).

One thing's for sure: if Long Play wasn't a thing, retractable roofs probably would be.
