I agree with you, but you also have to admit that if this series does return to its former glory most of the negative noise would cease. I think the majority of people have valid beefs with this game next gen. Guys complaining about real life animal mascots and facemask variety are in the minority lol. Most people are complaining about broken dynasty progression and broken fatigue, or crappy AI blocking. These are basic things that EA has done right in the past. Most of us are not asking for outlandish game presentation. We at least want what we had last gen presentation wise and expect sliders and dynasty to work straightaway when we open the package. Is that too much to ask for 60 bucks? To ask for a game to work?
