EA Sports on the Decline?

Re: EA Sports on the Decline?

It's not just Madden and Live that are subpar. NCAA was a disappointment. Fifa is getting getting better, but that's not saying much given the ridiculously low expectations it has established over the years. From the day or so I played March Madness, it was an improvement in graphics, atmosphere and all the extra things, but the gameplay still left a lot to be desired. And Fight Night hasn't really improved anything outside of graphics in the last couple years. The parry/counter system is borderline ********. I guess the biggest thing is that I just haven't had as much fun with those games as I used to have.

On the bright side, I thought NHL 07 was pretty fun. And while I don't play golf games, from everything I've heard, TW07 is good as well. I also enjoyed MVP baseball before that went away.

Aside from the debacle (just as bad as MLB2k6) that was NCAA 05, NCAA 07 got the least playing time out of me in the whole series. I expected more out of the 360 version. It just didn't give me the lasting enjoyment the previous versions did.

How come? No ranking, same A.I. tendencies across the board, most shallow career mode, the excessive punching with no negative outcome like fatigue.....this one seems far behind. People who can cheese without really understanding the gamereally kill the mojo. I think it's the freaking influx of "casual" gamers who are holding these things in mediocrity. Too many people allowing these games to just come out without really acknowledging any lack of effort to advance.

They do have a lot to improve on.

*cough* presentation *cough* would be one easy thing to fix that would make a lot of people happy.
