Releasing one killer game can turn T2's fortunes around momentarily, but ... it's only gonna lead to more hurt eventually. EA is a beast, and T2 will likely cave.
As far as why people hate EA, they will riding their trick pony every year with no new tricks. Take Need for Speed. It was a good series, but now? It's a laughingstock. It's the same crap rebundled over and over again. Look at Madden. They have the money and instead of using it to make cool innovations, they release the same crap because ... people will buy it.
It's ironic that T2 was the only company that gave EA a run for their money, NFL wise, until EA bought the NFL license and shut them down. T2 did have the better NFL game every year for a while.
