This nicely sums it up.

Because you keep buying EA games, basiccaly letting them know they can get away with all this. I mean they get your money anyway, why spend extra time to polish anything if they already have your money? Stop buying unfinished games.


I have to agree with you.  I don't buy their products because I don't approve of their practices and dont see that is the only way to inspire them to improve.  The Sims 4 was stripped down, I have heard multiple complaints about Fifa, Battlefield 4 was unfinished, they stunted Titanfall which is somehow  on track to fall short of EVERY single analyst prediction... I wish Activision had Star Wars. At least they showed some dignity by not releasing NBA Live and by postponing the BF4 reskin to next year. 



Honestly, I don't even think they make many interesting games these days. But I feel the same about Activision so maybe it's just my taste. I bought 0 games from Activision and 2 from EA last gen (two FIFA games, second hand).



No troll is too much for me to handle. I rehabilitate trolls, I train people. I am the Troll Whisperer.

Just stop buying them, maybe it makes a difference...

Most gamers who buy those games don't know any better or just don't care sadly..

 

The gamers that absolutely MUST have their Madden or FIFA fix also help EA to get away with this kind of crap, because EA will still have a guaranteed revenue stream on account of them being the only game in town for officially licensed football of either the American or Association varieties. It's too bad the NFL and FIFA don't allow third-party publishers like Konami or Take-Two to compete against EA, and none of the console publishers, the only other companies besides EA that have a right to make competing games, even bothers. It's a pity Sony didn't continue to support NFL GameDay more aggressively.



because every game has bugs when it launches this days,
these things are way too big, to write them without an error somewhere in the code,
besides bf4 all there latest games where completly fine

EA has nothing whatsoever to offer me. (Honestly, neither do Activision or Ubisoft.) Haven't bought from them in over a decade. But there's nothing I can do about their monopoly on the NFL or FIFA, or about the huge other chunks of the industry they've bought up over the years.

fifa 15 is basically 14 with a few add ons. It really isn't that hard for such an experience developer and publisher. They are getting sloppy and lazy.

I'm a sane Guy since my NES/Sega Master System/286 PC times, never bought stuff I wasn't sure to fully like afterwards. And I never got hit by a boat, so don't worry: The Boat is a Lie!

They are getting sloppy? They are sloppy. Pretty much any Gamy in the different EA Sports Line (or any sports line really) can be boiled down to transfer market update plus a few tweaks here and there. Wouldn't be worth more than a 5-10$ DLC imo (the effort surely isn't) but still lots of gamers happily spend 60 bucks on them.

Well put. As i said it was my first Fifa since 09 and will probably be my last fifa until the next gen games release.
