This is incredibly shameful. I'm thinking of boycotting EA for now on.


The good thing is that I boycott EA naturally, don't even need evil reasons.

I do too for the mosty part, since I don't play Sports games.  I did buy MoH: Heroes 2, SSX Blur, and Dead Space Extraction for Wii though, so they can forget about me buying anything else from them from now on. 

What a shady company.

I wasn't too shocked by this haha



I will think it twice before buying anything EA published from now on, of course im never again buying FIFA after this years fiasco
sadly FIFA keeps selling more and more......tch, shame

I held off buying the first Fifa game for Vita in anticipation of the new game. So I don't know what to do, I don't want to support EA but I want my handheld Fifa fix.

Buy the first game used. EA doesn't get a dime, you get a dirt-cheap game. You'll still probably feel disappointed, but at least you get FIFA.

@OT, I think it distracts from the message when people talk about how EA repackages the same games every year for all of their franchises, blah blah blah Madden 01,02,03,04,05,06 etc. This is a completely different issue. This is EA making a few aesthetic changes, changing the title, and selling virtually the same exact game at full price a year later. New iterations of their sports franchises always have new features, refined gameplay, updates graphics, and other actual improvements over the previous year. This is NOT comparable to that. This is FAR worse.

I live in Middle East though, nobody has a Vita over here so used games are non-existant. I buy games from UK and the first game is still expensive (nobody in UK sends second hand games). Assuming that I found a good deal for the first game, is online still crowded? Do you have the first game? Anyone?



Breaking news: FIFA is lazy copypasta.
In other news, the sun came up this morning.



Their are 11.000 players in the game so that would mean they have to update almost 40 players on a daily basis... It is simply impossible, especially with the 2012 worldcup edition releasing aswell..Not talking what they did good but it should not be surprise.....No smart business company would skip a year when 10 million gamers want it...

Who said they should skip a year?  The point is they didn't add a single new feature, update animations, or even really change the images and layout on the menu screen--zero effort went into this game outside of changing the skins on the character models.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

this is the same case for fifa 13 3DS ?
