Its funny that Geoff mentions EA, he totally forgot to mention that EA has no soul.
Seriously the NBA games have gone downhill since the SNES and Genesis era. The only non sport game that had an awesome story was the immortal but totally unplayable.
Fifa is a wonder how they succeeded with that, the Genesis version of the game already sucked big time.
Not forget the Battlefield 3 trojan, i didnt have the game but hundred of people posted their protection software found a trojan.
Battlefield 4 for PC turned every pc Player into a beta tester for the Xbox one version.
Wasnt EA lying about the Sims, they said the sims had a own life, but they read the code and found out that the sims were just scripted randomly to just to go any house.
