And when the competition starts to beat you, you try to buy them so that you can kill their franchises forever, the VIP system was terrible anyway. How about an injured guy that is more useful when he's dragged around. And make your WWII shooter so that when you get mad, you turn red and can't be hurt by bullets anymore. Boy, if it wasn't for that Americans would all be speaking German right now. How about a football game that allows you to just throw the ball up in the air to T.O. and no matter how well defended he is, he gets the ball, just 'cause it's T.O. Oh, and truck stick and hit stick. More like suck a-- tricks. And what about some of the best players in the game not being that good because John Madden only sees one conference mostly. He only likes the "old NFL" anyway. Your quarterback never has more than a second to get rid of the ball, because if you give the player more than that they see that the defensive AI sucks. And the magic spot on the court where a certain player can defy physics and dunk from a stand still. FROM TEN FEET AWAY. I know EA has so much going on that it's hard to do anything different or to innovate. Then again, it could be the "sweatshop" labor practices.

Oh wait... Yeah, EA should do something innovative like a massive sandbox game about evolving aliens with loads of on-line functionality.

Oh wait…

He doesn't. EA is a company on the way down. It has had one mediocre game release after another. It's being propped up by the idiot NFL's decision to go after money instead of competition. And the fact that it has enough money to buy any company that has done anything worthwhile. While I don't like most of TakeTwo's titles out side of their sports and games like Bioshock, one thing that can be said for them is they innovate. That cannot be said of EA. EA kills innovation. When people leave EA, they make good games(see Infinity Ward). If EA had any business sense at all, they would own Call of Duty. Pachter shut up, like EA, you would have the whole games industry go the way of the US auto industry. Make so much crap that people go somewhere else and then you have to beg to get them to come back(see any number of flawed vehicles manufactured during the last 30 years), "Be patriotic,Buy American".
