The problem with the game they forget it's meant to be a game !

the blame is not just on ea but on every person that complained on past games "gameplay intrusion" to their storytelling plans. because of this, ea has turned the game into a dull dollhouse where nothing happens, it's all up to the player, so there's barely no randomness, no quirkiness, no surprises, etc. some people like it this way, but for example i don't. besides, developing this way is easier and cheaper for ea, so unless people demands more gameplay as much as they demanded all those cas changes, they won't deliver.
