What can I say? From one of the worse (in my opinion) video game companies out there, did you really expect anything better?

I can think of few video game companies I like less than EA and most of them are no longer in business even.

The only thing EA ever had going for it was exclusivity to use actual team names, player names, etc... which was the ONLY reason to ever buy their stuff. Sports games made by any other company were always superior. This was true all the way back to NES days. If you want to play a good NES or SNES sports game, look for something from Jaleco, not EA.

Wow.

I bet it will still make the same amount of revenue this time around, even though it's a carbon copy of last year's game.

Yeah, but there were "just enough changes" to somewhat justify a new game. This time it's more like "Oh crap we gotta make a Fifa game **** it". Or it's some kind of inside joke that went too far. Whatever the cane may be, cue the sihtstorm.

Not even close, but I guess that's what the quotation marks are for. Either way, if fans throw a fit over this I won't be able to hold my laughter.

i didn't mean it in my words, i know about the console sales

i'm saying i'm sure ea had to think something to that extent if they re-released the same game. the wii is in the shadow of the 360/ps3 right now, and i'm sure that'll get changed when wii u comes out

Pretty ridiculous, but nobody is forcing anyone to spend money on this.

There are fans of EA games? I always thought the types of people who bought EA games weren't generally gamers but sports fans who "had" to have games with the actual team names/player names in them (in the same way they "have" to buy all this sports memorabilia) and then "had" to re-buy the new game every year for basically updated stats. You ever notice how cheap used EA games go for compared to used games from basically any other company? You ever wonder why that is?

I can think of worse video game companies, but not many. Color Dreams comes to mind.

Perhaps. Regardless, the people who keep buying these games are buying the exact same product over and over again with practically nothing but an updated roster.

If you get the 4 year old version for 5 bucks and do that every few years, you can notice some changes in gameplay. Also not buy full price EA games
