@Tribladez As somebody who has worked in the software industry as developer, designer for over 20 years, it's usually not the developers who do these decisions, it's the managers.
The whole problem starts from the top, probably already from the F1 licensing deal that forces them to do yearly releases. They don't have enough time for that, especially if they want to have something new in the game too, so the quality suffers and the get more and more behind every year. It's very ineffecient to fix things using patches usually and take time, and the more time they allocate to this, the less time and resources they have for the next game.
I really wonder do they have somekind of automatic testing system setup at all (I mean some higher level tests, not unit testing), because it's impossible catch regressions without huge effort of manual testing otherwise (which takes a lot of time). Some of the regressions from previous fixes make it sound that they don't... Unless they knew about them, but did the patch anyway
ps. F1 Life has to be EA management demand though, it smells like that miles away and is just so stupid

@IleleeeThe annual games should find another format.
I will take the F1 games for example:
I think they have to find satisfactory graphics, a good physics engine and for 5 years bug fixes and only license updates (drivers, teams, cars, everything that needs to be updated) every years and the 5th year, new graphic engine, new physics and new things like F1 life (even if I don't find it incredible in the state) or other like use other driver for F1 hulk, vandoorn, de vries, and other in contract with f1 team.
