I play Seasons, so no UT for me. Besides point 10., 12. and 19., literally every bullet point sounds familiar.
I was watching a Youtube post today from a guy who was trying to analyse FC26 to see if it is really as bad as everyone says. He wanted to do this since he never ever heard so many people abandoning the game, and yet EA was making tons of profit. The overall conclusion was that gameplay is indeed terrible, the tactical gameplan was slightly better than last year but by far not as good as in the past, and the graphics and animations were simply horrible, which he proved by showing footage of FC26 next to FIFA17 (17 was obviously so much better).
Then why is EA still making so much profit? Because you need to invest a lot more money to get to the same results you had last year. Until last year you could get somewhere with luck, this year you need to pay if you want to move up.
Now I ask you: what kind of sick f.... comes up with a business plan like that?! Selling an inferior product which chases your most loyal customers away and let the remaining ones even pay more for this utter BS?! How sustainable do you think this is on a longer term, EA?!
