Should EA be reponsible and have recalls?

it kind of surprises me how much roster sharing still goes on. aren't rosters pretty much a finished product and dynasties in full swing at this stage?

lol funny... I have had no issues with the game.. Game play is fine for me. My game never freezes, no dynasty issues, no online dynasty issues...

Maybe the issues y'all are having are user-errors?

There's a few guys that update with performance during the season and like breakout players and stuff. Mostly good for the play now/exhibition guys.

EA actually recalled an NCAA title before. It might be little known to some, but NCAA 07 for the PSP was recalled due to a bug where the ball would be spotted at the point of contact with a defender and not where they touched the ground.

I had to send in my disc and after about 3-4 weeks they sent me a new "patched" PSP disc at no cost (other than shipping to EA). Great customer service and surprised they did that for such a simple and cheap title. May be why they never released anymore NCAA titles on the PSP!

Yeah, all user errors. Check the bugs thread and tell me it's all user error.

I feel if the game isn't ready for the market, it should be sent out to the stores. Keep building it and send it out a later date instead of giving a craporola game. The U.S. government should look into these scammers and start taking responsibility for their faulty game. EA should have a general recall for all games that are freezing and constantly broken. /endrant

No. Just no. Auto companies have recals because it usually means their product is unsafe and puts the public at harm. Same with food companies, and other manufacturing companies.

All you have here, is a video game. That's it. Nothing more. If it doesn't live up to your standards, or you dont like it, then trade it in.

I'm so sick of this stupid mentality of wanting to sue, or come after a company because something they've bought is not meeting their expectations. Buyer be ware. That says it all really. If you dont like it, don't buy it. There's plenty of ways for you to try the game first, for example... RENTING IT. Then decide for yourself. There's nothing unsafe about the product, there's no reason to sue, or force the government to make them recall the product, or not sell it. Buyer be ware. It's that simple.

Don't get me wrong, Im not defending EA, or any other game company for that matter, but this whole idea of yours is just ridiculous. Food products and automobiles have recals based upon safety for the consumer. A malfunctioning video game, does not fall into that category.

Part of the reason for recalls in the U.S. is as brandon stated. However recalls can also happen when products don't meet mandated quality standards. Video games never have and never will have mandated quality standards because games are art. It really is buyer beware and the only way to get change is not by suing, not by asking for recalls, but by ceasing to buy their product. That will force them to improve quality standards. Also by giving the company bad PR.
