Why is the game so terrible?

There is a playable game in there somewhere. Now and again when the servers and game itself allows I can see how it is supposed to play. 

They don’t know or care enough to ensure everyone has that consistent experience though. You just have to look on here at how customers are told that the issues aren’t in EAs control. 

I also think the content is boring and repetitive this year, especially if you don’t really like online play.
