Why can’t EA make a good game?

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UNskXFPECa8 This is 2K’s last football game they could make using current NFL players (yes there was 2k8 but it was with past players).  Why can’t EA bring in actual players to create their animations/player movement? Instead of using a computer to generate the movements. It’s actually hilarious how far behind this company is. I’ll obviously buy still as I love football but it’s pretty disappointing to watch these types of videos and not know how good a game we could have been playing today if these guys were able to continue making NFL games.

Edit: Not trying to make a rant post about bad gameplay. Just a disappointed football fan wondering why we can’t get the same type of effort out of EA today.

I’m hoping with the new consoles they might go to a new engine and dump frostbite, but I doubt it. Madden has been a copy and paste for too many years. The yearly “back of the case” features they tack on just  add instability and new glitches to the game. Scrap this junk and rebuild!

 Agree, why fix a broken product if your consumer continues to buy it year after year.

The whole EA staff should all be fired!

Man i miss 2k5.  EA has never ever made a game that played better then 2k5 and it came out 15 years ago.  Sad as hell

I mean seriously They dont even have to call the actual players in I can replicate nearly everyones throwing motion. Even peyton mannings forcible throws to vicks gunslinging.

but in all seriousness I wish they did motion capture throwing motions, motion capture o line blocking as well as any position.

 Just crazy to think they wouldn’t be able to budget this in. If you think about how much they make off ultimate team alone.

Because there’s no competition which allows EA to employ lazy people who don’t push the needle. It’s like a cradle of comfort at EA with no incentive to get better. Competition would fix this but the NFL and EA are to greedy (and scared) to allow this. As long as we have people like the current ones running the show, the product will always be inferior

 Yea I’ve been playing madden for a long time as well. Ultimate team since 12.  Im just saying it’s hard to not think that if these guys were allowed to continue to make football games they wouldn’t be blowing EA out of the water.
