Memo to EA Sports - if you made the game your core customers wanted you wouldn't have to worry about negative reviews/comments.

Shocker. EA realizes there didn't do jack about the most glaring issues with the game and a Community Day participant reports on it so there is a "gap in communication". What a joke. Here's a tip EA; fix the issues and we won't have much to be disappointed about.

Here's the real "gap in communication": We recommend/beg for improvements regarding glaring gameplay issues and EA chooses to ignore us. EA should just make the arcade version where there are 9 INTs, 3 pick-sixes, 7 fumbles, 11 "jump the snap" sacks and 125 point shootout games on 5 minute quarters on the Wii and leave the real football on the PS3 and 360.

Yeah, no suprise... the info is not well received so it is squashed. Next week when it is re-released, the info will have a more positive tone - guaranteed!

Good point I didn't realize that. That makes it about 1 int returned for a TD every 5 games.
Honestly if EA could just get it down to one every 2-3 games that would be good acceptable for me. 1-2 a game is just laughable.

It is official EA is a joke. EA's pr machine must have piss their pants when they read those hand on impressions. The game is the same broken game as last year. We been through the same dog and pony show and know the song and dance.

EA knew the problems and didn't/couldn't fix the problems. I guess EA will show more stadium
pictures.

Whether you believe it or not pasta posted on this and said:

"Just to be clear it had nothing to do with the content we posted. There is an embargo of May 2nd that was supposed to have been communicated to us but for whatever reason wasn't. The media sites that attended have the same embargo. However it is possible that some places have exclusives during the next week which is what the embargo would be protecting."

Still seems a tad fishy to me though

Yeah, I agree, I'm calling straight garbage on this one...
