If you watch that list, you will see that every cross-gen entry sees a dip in meta score. This seems to be the case, and next year's entry will probably be bigger and better. Also, the pandemic probably hurt the short development cycle as well.
Now, I am not defending EA in any way, shape or form, and a bad game is still a bad (mediocre?) game, but it makes sense, unfortunately.
