EA doesn't care about making a great NFL game anymore. That care died with John Madden.
They are only interested in selling the game and selling all the add-on packs and players.
As long as we keep buying garbage, they (and the league & players they pay for the rights) will keep producing garbage.
Like all other "sports" these days, it is all about getting our money.
I mean...this is definitely half correct at the least. I might agree that upper management probably does only care about the revenue and selling garbage as long as they profit. However, I really do think the ground teams like the devs really do care about the product they put out. There's just become an increasing disconnect between the higher and lower echelons of companies the past few years. I've used the movie industry as perfect example of this. Like them or not, Snyder's DC movies are a great example. The suits wanted it their way, while the man with the vision and his people on the ground wind up severely hindered in making what they want because of that. I feel that chasm between the two is really screwing the gaming industry as well.
