My option on EA and its sports titles are pretty low right now.
Begin of rant
I feel like they're out to just make as much profit as they can year in and year out doing the minimum amount of work. They're at a point where they are satisfied with the status quo, instead of trying to be innovative and push the gaming industry forward. EA spends its time on gimmick features that entice people to buy the game, but dont work properly which then gets removed in the next installment. The same core problems remain in the game year in and year out. For the last decade or so they have been recycling the same things over and over. When a new console comes out they stripe the game now and slowly at the old features back in, until the next time it's time to start over again and repeat the same process. It's sad when a game over 10 years old has more features than the current version. The dlc is integrated into the core game, that adds nothing to the actual game, or should have been included with the game from the start.
By doing this they can increase their profits and purchase exclusive contracts from other companies/leagues, preventing others from innovating the games, hence allowing them to keep the status quo. People will continue to buy these games for many reasons, but mainly because there is no alternative, partly do to exclusive licenses.
I can go on and on, but I won't

You realize EA's main job is to make money for its shareholders, right? I hate it myself, but the quicker people realize this, the easier it is to move on. It's a hard reality, but you'll start understanding why they do some of the things they do, right or wrong. I'll try the beta, but it'll take a lot for me to buy this year's iteration.
