Is it me or is EA really improving this next-gen?

I've hated EA last gen they ruined good game but now I think they're improving with games like

NFS Pro Street which i've played the demo of it and it's back to good control (NFS IMO sucked in that part)

Your thoughts? :)

Yes, they are power hungry and all that jazz, but they occasionally release a good game, such as Fight Night Round 3.basilbasil

I love fightnight round 3, also i play the need for speed games, so in that respect i guess im a hypocrite lol.

Its cool to hate EA but i still play their games. Thats a good motto!!

Improving? By making simpler, less complex games for more money? Sure... why not...foxhound_fox

Im all for simpler less complexgames. Games should be easy to play but hard to put down.

Putting the same games out year after year to feed the fat cats, now thats a different story.

A lot games these days, anyone can finish if they have time whatever their level of skill. Its almost like you need more time rather than skill to complete games.

My fave game ever is streetfighter2, easy to play but took me years to master all the combos and characters..

Your thoughts? :)Crappuccino88

Well it's not like EA could get any worse :?

Even though PS3 owners would disagree

It's not like EA is the sole company making games simpler, so it's not really fair to single them out.

And yes, I think EA has improved this generation. Not only are there some pretty good games coming out from their in-house developers, but their attitude in regards to publishing games from external developers seems to have improved as well. Even gamespot gave EA a little 'pat on the back' sorta speak during one of their Hotspot episodes of a couple weeks back.

For every Crysis EA publishes there's always a Hellgate: London, sigh.

NFS is really getting stale though, time to kill it.

I think EA realized that they have a bad image with a lot of people in the gaming industry and it seems they have been trying to publish and/or develop games of higher quality. Games like Rock Band, The Simpsons Game (I thought it was an absolutely awesome experience,) Crysis, The Orange Box and such show that EA is, at the very least, trying to improve their image.

EA remind me of Mcdonalds. We all dislike them but eat their burgers.sydstoner

I don't dislike McDonalds. It's much better compared to overpriced finnish places.
