I see your point but I see where he's coming from too. I think what he may be saying, and what I *am* saying, is that if people quit letting themselves get so ridiculously hyped up then maybe when the game came out they'd not have sky-high expectations and then be able to just enjoy it more each year.
I am most certainly looking forward to getting this game, I will try to get it early as well, like I do every year. But I'm expecting a minimal improvement, a realistic expectation I believe. Therefor I doubt I'll be disappointed. But so many folks build this up so high that the game will always disappoint them.
Don't let EA or anyone on this forum set your expectations so high that the game will only disappoint!!
