You're right. If I took the car back to the dealer they would fix it or give me a car with working wheels right away. Consumers like you are why the gaming industry is so corrupt. You accept their faulty product every year without complaint.
So every year you get a faulty product. Just like Madden I will stop buying this game. I want what I paid for. I shouldn't have to wait until online and battle royale nonsense, of which I have no interest, is fixed before I can get a working game.
