This is their job not a hobby ;) look at how many animations they used to add per pack in previous installments. They're clearly capable of it.
My partner is in fact a CG artist and animator so yes it can be difficult and annoying work but it's still their job. Also, game studios tend to work with multiple departments, each taking care of their own work (animating, modelling, localizing, development, Q&A and so on). They don't just have 1-2 animators, they most lileo have a whole team. And that team creating animations shouldn't be preventing the other teams from doing their work (writing and translating text, modelling, sound work, developing new systems, fixing bugs, testing, ....). EA has enough manpower to manage the workload & earns more than enough on this franchise to put that money to good use.
Again it's fine to recycle some stuff but let's be reasonable about this. The majority of a pack shouldn't be recycled animations.
