Really feels like we get the left over scraps from this company. College football is great and the community interaction by them is great. Madden is finally getting good this year and had a great in depth trailer. FC had an amazing trailer dedicated to the fans and addressed them directly. And we get a trailer that basically says "yea we're making nhl 26"... In other words water is wet.
"Ice q" is pointless to announce unless you tell us what that means. Ice q 1.0 was not noticable at all.
X factors- We have those. They have created more harm than good to be honest. What you announced is very vague. To me it sounds like your just re announcing x factors with no changes.
BAP- Ok now we're getting somewhere. But you didn't address anything still. I'd like to hear you guys own up to how broken the original BAP was so I have some hope EA learned from their mistakes. I hope a little more polish was put into it.
HUT- Cash cow. Say less about it. Focus on core gameplay.
Early access - might be one of the most scummy ways to entice pre orders but what else would I expect from EA.
If you don't care about the series anymore fine, but at least just be blunt and straightforward with everyone that you don't care. Please don't renew the IP when the time comes if you aren't going to put in effort.
