that may not have been brought up. EA should let season pass holders be the closed beta for the game releases, most of the early issues in these games could be resolved.

Most of the top games have open and closed beta and the games are better for it.

I honestly think this is part of the reason for Season Ticket. I'm pretty sure alot of the issues in the games this year were known about a while before release.

I wonder why they don't do like the days of old when a 'demo' (aka Beta) is released months before the game comes out so that we can play the game, figure out the bugs and then report back to EA about what we find. In recent memory I recall MAG doing this (not sure if it's only with specific genres or what not).

Instead we have to wait for release, play through the bugs for weeks or months waiting for EA to fix them (if at all) and release them in a patch.

All that being said, I love the NHL series and EA Sports. They are busy people that love making video games and I know that if they could get to and fix every bug and make everything exactly the way they want to, they would.
