Is that a trick question? I didn't realize there were multiple types of quality.
EA is in the top five highest developers when all games are averaged on metacritic. They're up there with Sony, Nintendo and Capcom. You may not "personally" like their games, but they are of good quality, play well and are enjoyed by many millions of people. Here's a sampling of recent accomplishments:
-One of the few developers of the Nintendo Wii giving ANY effort. Medal of Honor Heroes 2 was the first FPS to learn from Metroid Prime 3 and offer good controls, plus the online doesn't make you enter friend codes. Godfather: Blackhand Edition was the best iteration of the Godfather released, and was hailed as a pretty damn good way to use the remote. Boom Blox is one of the most anticipated titles on Wii and is innovating all of console gaming by including head tracking. The movements of the controller have been worked in well on both Madden and Tiger Woods.
-Skate absolutely blew Tony Hawk out of the water on it's first try, completely innovating skateboarding games.
Here's some metascores:
FIFA Soccer 08-82
skate-86
NHL 08-86
Tiger Woods PGA tour 08-80
Madden NFL 08-85
NCAA Football 08-81
Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars-85
Burnout Paradise-88
Do these look like bad scores to you?
