FIFA games producer: It's time to stop bad-mouthing EA |

“It does upset me that people bad-mouth EA, and I used to be one of those people," he admitted. "But the fact that I am allowed to spend so much money on making good gameplay, without having to do anything gimmicky, to me speaks volumes of the work Peter Moore and other people in the organization are doing." This is coming from the guy that Moore tasked with the heavy burden of topping FIFA's performance last year.
“I am extremely proud and privileged to be doing this job,” he said. And by "this job" he means meeting Peter Moore's targets for FIFA 10 (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, DS, PSP, PC, PS2), which include getting a bigger slice of football's two billion fans than the 10 million they already have, plus netting an average score at Metacritic of 90 or better. With all the features they've already packed into FIFA 2010, the target may not be that far from grasp.
I'm totally in the same boat with Rutter here. EA isn't perfect, but they're working hard to change the image. Just like when some people bash QJ. There are shortcomings here and there, but we're all gamers working hard for the games we love.

if EA wants people to stop bad mouth then stop releasing patches as games
but people continue to buy it so it's our fault i guess

Activision on the other hand produces more crappy Guitar Hero titles, is destroying great IPs like Brütal Legend, and then throws a lawsuit at EA because they tried to develop a cool game they trashed.

The only game I really enjoyed made by EA was Boom Blox. The vast majority of EA's catalogue (with the exception of very few well established sports series - sans fifa of corse) just scream production values in order to hide gameplay under the carpet. How you managed to get the first harry potter game to have raving reviews is beyond me for instance.
Start making better games by preferring quality to deadlines, TRY to control the devaluation rate (you know it is much better to take back all the remaining fifa stock than seeing last year's game for less than 10 Euros) and maybe the bad mouthing will stop.

Meh, I have never bought a game that I regretted as much as Spore. Every bit of it screamed, "You've been tricked and no, you can't resell it thanks to DRM"
I blame EA for thier meddling in Will Wrights masterpiece.
Speaking of which, their online game download service (for the creature creator) is a horrible horrible joke. You can only download once unless of course you beg like an animal. And, I have never seen a wait to begin a download that I paid for. Not a small wait, but a whole DAYs wait before they finally allowed me to download the game I purchased.
Sorry, rant over. Yes, they've made a few gems recently, but you can't call them saints. I'm not saying I won't buy EA games, I'm just saying that I'll double check reviews for their games and not just pick them up off the shelf.
