I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. Centers not playing the post and tossing up threes non stop and player roles being so incorrectly implemented they had to be turned off to play an association were major out of the box issues for NBA. MLB is just an all around poor game but the injury management and framerate issues were also major problem at launch. Unfortunately that's just where we are ay in today's annual release cycle. We have to deal with the double edge sword of patches, games ship with more issued but at least developers have the ability to fix them. This to me is where ea is light years behind. 2K does a great job of listening to fans and fixing issues and does an especially good job of fixing big issues quickly. Ea has a track record of fixing non importantow hanging fruit and never getting to the impactful issues along with occasionally breaking working items in the process.
