15 ea mistakes they want you to forget
video description
-Let me tell you about how EA was literally handed the HOLY GRAIL of all IP exclusivity contracts; Total exclusive rights to the making of any and all Star Wars games for an ENTIRE DECADE...
And did not take the opportunity to capitalize by releasing SW game after SW game of every kind for ten straight years. Instead, cancelling SW game after game for the first half, releasing three SW games in the latter half, two of which are primarily shallow online versus games, one totally lootbox-centric, and then sneaking in one pretty good SW single player game right at the finish line.
They were given a money printer and told they could have it for ten years, and in the end only printed fifty bucks for a half-decent dinner.-

The NFL 2K5 vs Madden 2005 was bullsh-t! They mad cause Sega had a much better football game, and cheaper, and EA got mad cause Madden 2005 got placed in 2nd place, so to make sure Madden never lose another football company, they made that sh-try deal with the NFL, and since then, I have never bought another EA game, period! On a positive note, what used to be under Sega, 2K Games, destroyed the NBA Live series single handedly without any trickery moves what EA did with football, so ask EA about NBA Live selling 8,000 copies one year vs NBA 2K series selling 2.5 million copies that same year. Can't remember if it was 2017, or 2018, but it was a severe humiliation on EA's part, lol -

EA has been really shady since PS3 and 360. Like corporate greed on another level. However I had such fun with Titanfall 2 and a majority of the NFS games, Heat was trash though. I only had a chance to play Star wars Battlefront 2 when it was finally finished and was free on PS plus. Linear games are still some of the best stories and pace/gameplay. I mean I grew up, everything was linear back then.

I would like to point out something that didn't make the list. But ea was the ones to release the sims 4. When they released the sims 4 it was a INCOMPLEAT! game. They didn't even have toddlers! it took us almost 3 fing years to get toddlers!! and now every update might fix something but its also going to brake something else or rebreak something else and its just sucks!!!

This video was two years ago, and its still same shit different day with EA's sports games. Please stop buying Madden games, and try to stop buying fifa. Fifa is still somewhat a decent game, but Madden is god awful. Please stop buying it so EA either sells the rights or decides to actually put effort into the game mechanics

Bioware had the potential to be bigger than Bethesda. Enter the micro managing, money hungry, cost cutting douche bags at ea. These are the people that would rather let Apex die than put a fraction of the money they get out of it back into it. I'm trying to be optimistic about the next mass effect but I'm doubtful.

Killing the Medal of Honor franchise by making it directly compete against CoD and Battlefield. And turning the Command and Conquer franchise from a great RTS to an abomination like the Command and Conquer 4 or a mobile game called Rivals

Not only are gamers pissed that EA has exclusive rights to the NFL, but just look at the Madden franchise. The games have become unplayable. They are sooooo bad. I'm glad I stopped giving them my money.
