They need to hire more devs and actually put the effort into things that matter to the player base. Ditching last gen would be a start but I don't see companies like EA just passing up on that sales figure to actually make one of their games better.
Port it over, throw in a broken new control layout, remove one entirely, change the one that worked the best and slap $100 price tag on it and call it a year.
Then it's up to aljo to keep this forum in line for a year until the cycle repeats. We're the idiots for buying their product.
