killamch89 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 You know a game is extremely pathetic when IGN (who are clueless, biased reviewers) are giving the game a score lower than 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I wonder if this is how they wish to play from here onwards. Why bother hiring people. Maybe just for the sake of show I guess they must have reduced the salary of the developers too it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpotato Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yeah this is just a awful and a waste of time, they started to do this on the FIFA 19 for the Xbox 360 which it was an exact remake of the 18 version, at that point it wasnt really an issue since it was an old console. If they are not willing to even port the game to Switch why just not add a DLC to the preexisting 18 version instead of charging 60 dollars for a game that is the exact same shit as last year. I mean we always joked that every FIFA game was basically the same every year which at some point they are, But this is just ridiculous they just copy pasted the code from last years and put a 19 stamp on it.

The funny thing is, those jokes turned out to be the truth because EA ultimately confirmed as much when they were discussing the future of Fifa a few years back. This is one of the main reasons i don't touch any EA games at all anymore - They are charging far too much for the sub-par games they keep putting out.

Alyxx Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I don't buy sports games, especially not EA ones. And this doesn't encourage me either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped buying them years ago as well because I realized that they were doing this very often. The last Fifa game I ever bought from them was Fifa 14 and it was just Fifa 13 with slightly updated graphics and a few gameplay tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 The problem is almost every sports game known in popular part, is under EA title. like cricket, FIFA, tennis etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes microsoft got out of many popular games titles. I am guessing they anticipated more sales but it does not work that way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish EA would have more competition in the Sports Industry nowadays so they'd get back to making quality sports games again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 The thing is that indie developers don't consider such games because of the maintenance reasons. killamch89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have a valid point there on top of EA owning a lot of exclusive licenses across multiple sports so it could be difficult for other companies to compete...

skyfire Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Yes and other thing is that if you get like those federation license making the game official.. that is even harder to beat in such case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
