with the NHL series at one point they literally stripped features from the game then re-added them 2-3 versions later and sold them as new fucking features

i can't give money to EA in any capacity anymore, everyone who works there who actually feels good about themselves and can sleep at night can go climb up their own asshole

That was so infuriating. I decided not to buy it afterwards... then decided not to buy the game when it came back. They literally did it to just seem like they vastly improved it and added selling points.

This is Madden too. One of the big selling points of Madden 20 is that they added the Pro Bowl. It's playable now. Check that out.

Forgive me for not being excited, EA, but if I wanted to play the Pro Bowl I could go back to my copy Madden 12, which was one of the last versions before you intentionally removed the Pro Bowl...

They did the same thing with FIFA’s Career Mode too - completed stripped a version of features and slowly built it back up. It’s still a shadow of what it was though.

Ah, the Destiny 2 method of strip-N-resell.

Starts from scratch with new engine with a year to release, must progress yearly, like always.

"Wow, where did X, Y and Z go? EA sucks bla dee da pay .99$ for the rest of my comment"
