Re: Is EA Bio gone for this title too?

Probably the same reason as why there are no multitap support for Nascar 2005, which means no reason... Don't try to get in the mind of an EA programmer... you might go crazy and sent to a mad house.

"everything released after that does not & will not have the EA BIO."

Does that mean FIFA 2005 won't have it too? So what is the point of keeping the EA Bio save on our mem card?

I don't see any point in the EA Bio anyway, so I don't care if it is in. All it is to me is five more seconds that I got to deal with it saving stuff. I know it will help you unlock shoes or whatever, but that doesn't matter to me either. Maybe if I cared about those things I would care about the EA Bio.

This is a funny comment. Funny thinking the programmers make the decisions about whether features like EA Sports Bio are still in the game or not. Oh, and Nascar is made by a completely different development group than NBA Live over 3000 miles away so what is this "EA programmer" generalization?

Well, I for one agree with him to a degree. That "EA Programmer" generalization can be said for all game programmers. Despite the fact if both games are made by diffrent dev teams, I'm sure someone at EAs HQ knows what goes in and what gets the axe in each game. For everything EA puts in a game, at least 1 thing gets taken out. Well at least from my perspective.

Programmers dont do most of the determination of what goes in and comes out of a game. Technical directors, maybe. But thats part of a producer's and a designer's responsibility. If there's somebody at EA HQ calling the shots on something like that, it certainly isn't a programmer. Place blame where blame is due, most programmers are just assigned tasks and do the grunt work. What is put into a game is determined way ahead of time.

I wont say another word about this, since its slightly off topic. I was just making the point of not blaming programmers for missing features, especially not at large companies such as EA.

Personally, I use the PC version so I dont use EA Sports Bio anyways.
