I'm not one of those who think everything EA does is crap, but they do seem to be doing less and less that I care about. NFS Most Wanted was a downgraded Burnout Paradise, Mass Effect seems to be polishing up gameplay as the story spirals down into clichéd gritty badassery designed to appeal to dudebros.
Even their more interesting WM+ golf and tennis games brought pointless RPG baggage from non-motion sports gaming along with it. (You don't need to simulate my in-game avatar improving with skill points, because I'm actually getting better at using my virtual racket/club, no thanks to the digital handicap you gave me so you could include an experience system.)
Other than that, I'm hard pressed to think of anything else EA is doing in the console space that's even interesting.
