i think there is something deeper to this than we are seeing. these games have been in production for a while, and yes, while some of them have regressed when coming to the 360 missing features that previously had been on ps2 games such as owner modes and in depth things like that, we have to look at the broad view that EA sees in its consumers. Are they trying to appeal to sim players, arcade players, wii sports players? How can you balance all that into one game, because in the end, they need to appeal to the broadest base of consumers as possible. Its an interesting approach they have to take since they only have one line of games for each sport and then some freestyle games that havn't been too great outside of NBA Street homecourt, which i loved.
