Maybe it’s time to rethink yearly releases
So for years I’ve been a believer in sports games needing more than a 9 month dev cycle. This year though, with the smaller dev team for nhl, it’s obvious there just isn’t enough time to actually mak...

@Greyinsi So basically you're also saying screw BAP and Franchise? How would they work under a season pass scheme? This needs to be fair for all not just online players, but offline too
Would be no different than fortnite or other free to play online models. You sell the single player/offline stuff separately. This would force EA to make those modes actually good for a change and spend more than 5 minutes making it.
The problem is a free to play with a season pass style of play benefits the consumers too much and EA isn’t about that. It would hold the devs too accountable to where if they weren’t delivering, people wouldn’t be spending the money on it. EA would much rather the business model they have now, where they can release bug filled messes, with no accountability because they already have your money. Then proceed to copy and paste the next game, and have the same bugs plus more in it and cash in again.
Our community is honestly one of the worst in gaming for allowing this stuff, so unfortunately we will just continue to get taken advantage of. No accountability needed with EA on this series

I honestly don't think it does suit the consumer again look at Apex Legends season passes way more fails then passes not to mention the complacency that's taken place.
It is good for the consumer. I don’t get how it would even make sense that a free to play game where you’re given the option to make the decision whether it’s worth your money to sub for the season, could ever be a bad thing.
You think they have gotten complacent? Don’t pay for the season then, it’s no loss to you. If they want your money they have to at least put enough of an effort in that the playerbase is willing to pay for it
That’s like saying when you go to a restaurant, it would be better to be forced to give a tip regardless of the service you have received. I think we can all agree that would lead to less service from the waiter/waitress, as opposed to them working for it

With apex they have one thing and sometimes its pay to win.
Either way if they made a secondary game where all the offline modes separate they'll make it then leave it, it'll get less attention then it does now
