I had a 360 and sold it cuz the sports title sucked big time with lag and the system crashing, the games not having features the older consoles had. I love the 360 so im not crapping on it or anything to piss anyone off in this thread at all. But when i bought 06 i could understand they didnt have time to do everything they needed to for the create a player,hall of fame,mini camps and other stuff they do. Then 07 came out and the game would lag in the menu and sometimes the 360 would crash which would piss me off. The day I heard about EA charging ppl for cheats and uniforms was the highlight of me hating them.

NFL 2k8 is coming out this year and hopefully EA will get their act together and stop ripping us off with incompleted games. What i mean by incompleted are buggy/lag menu and gameplay, have the features,actually have a broadcast so i feel like its being a televised game. Another I noticed that the fall of fame is agreat idea but how can u really think being a wr would work? Or a rb or a cb or lb? Its so hard with the camera right on ur back and u cant do anything but run and hope the ball is comig to u which u cant see.I just want them to give me options of ****c or now options cuz ****c i loved where ur being a player then playing all the players like franchise but ur main focus is on ur player not ur team.

Im off of the sports from EA but I have more to go over, when i said incompleted games they do the same with battlefield2 and 2142. You know battlefield 2 came out in 04? it was perfect! drool it was so perfect! But, EA aka dice got dumb and made awards,medals and ranks so hard to get to. Ive been playing for a good 2 years from release date and i have a life so i dont devote myself to that game like most ppl that high ranks. That was the only thing they needed to fix was the ranking system and stats for medals.

The reason y the ranking system was so bad was 1 someone got a gun much powerful than u alot quicker and 2 it was way way up there. Like, corpal the 4th rank up was something like 30,000 points... so ea fixed this part but ruined alot of the gameplay after this. Im sorry im a soldier in the army and in combat I dolphin dive haha when someone is shooting at me. I dont think this is gonna hurt my chest or not I just go down and then back up running, another u can take a pack of c4 and jump and throw. I also heard the bf series on the pc isnt the only one messed up too. I heard the EA servers *cough* no suprise crashes and u lose all of ur medals = pain in the butt!

So after the 1.22 patch the game was amazing to good = not the best anymore.... With the 1.3 patch the servers would crash so much ppl stopped playing. Then 1.4 came out , now this messed up 1 more thing haha man ur thinking im complaining but im giving reasons. Like i said 1.4 made it where if u grow from prone to stand up u lag well not lag but u shake and cant shoot for a good second. This second is alot of a delay when someone is shooting at u.

So im off of the bf2 game, the said part about this is bf2 engine is easily 5 years old..3 in the making and 2 on the market.. 2142 omg! this game is still unstable! they still havent fixed out after 6 months of release which is said :(.

I hope EA doesnt destroy the gaming market :.

Ok that was way too much to read, but if your system was lagging and crashing that was probably your console, not the game. And I like most EA games, especially the NHL games. I don't play the baseball or basketball games, but the football ones always seem fine to me.

I'm a fan of some of their games. NBA street is great, their SSX series is good. Madden is always a blast to play with some friends.

Madden 07 Was good enough, FIFA 07 was great fun, Fight Night Round 3 is a candidate for best sports game ever made ... ever, NHL 07 introduced great new gameplay concepts. I have no problem with them.

I'm boycotting EA ever since Tiger Woods 07.  It's like a different programmer did each green, and noone bothered to check it when they were all done.  The putting is so inconsistent I cannot play it anymore.  Plus their lobby systems are dumb.THETRUEDOZAH
the lobbies are dumb because you don't EVEN NEED TO USE THEM!

I didn't read the entire original post.  I just wanted to say:  Yes.  For the most part anyway, EA half-asses their games. 
My main EA game is NHL hockey and I got to say I've been dissappointed with the way they've treated the game for years.  The actual hockey itself is fun, but the rest of the game is a sloppy pile of dog crap.  I can definately say that NHL 06 feels like they half finished everything except for the actual hockey gameplay.

alot of licensed EA sports games are terrible, especially the ones made at EA Canada. NHL & NBA suffer from very low sluggish framerates and most importantly very bad gameplay. Madden and Tiger Woods and Fight Night is great thoough however. as for NHL and NBA, i stick with 2K sports, it's just that much better.

Selling your 360 because EA Sports sux king kong balls is not a reason to sell the whole system. 1st of all, 2Ksports has all the other sports games covered except the NFL and they are actually coming out this year with 2K8 football which is going to be a masterpiece if it is anything like 2K5 which was made some 3+years ago.....and Basketball is owned by 2ksports...they clearely have the better game...get your 360 back maaaaaaaaaannn!!!

I hate EA Sports games. I've always loved ice hockey so of course i played the  ESPN 2K games, EA's offering was more of a glorified pinball game than ice hockey, good presentation REALLY bad everything else.

Terrible, absolutely terrible.

well i love the 360 but i have a direct x10 pc computer.. I do like EA ideas but i feel they re so in a hurry to just make titles and doesnt really if its completed. What they are doing with madden and the games on the 360 ive been reading about are wrong. I think its wrong for a developer to charge money to teach a user how to play a game. This isnt user friendly at all, its wrong to milk costumers every year so far 2 making them think all the stuff will be back but still missing a butt load. The reason y i sold the reason is that im a pro gamer on the pc for bf2 and css.... www.prizefight.com and clan mates.. Ever since 04 its been really hard to adapt to fps on the console again, so i bought it for sports titles *cough madden cough*.. Dont get me wrong they have alot of good games and some i wanna try out. Like lost planet I wanna try that! Dead rising was amazing and the 2nd one I wanna try out, Grand theft auto 4 so far hasnt be assured its coming for the pc. Long story short, I wanted the next gen graphics for sport titles, where I was getting the games like cod2,fear,oblivion for free on the pc.

2K Sports games in College & NBA Basketball totally dominate EA's games and I wish they were still capable of making an NFL game themselves.   I had always been a big fan of Madden, but without the ability to play on the same team with a friend Madden sucks.

Hey there's a story why I sold the 360.... one it was kind hard to play FPS on the gamepad.. No, im not a newb its kinda hard to switch from keyboard/mouse. Shoot! I still use the 360 controller for madden07,nhl07,topspin2,rainbow six veags,prince of persia,nba 07 on the pc! I sold the 360 cuz mine was messed up! Like I said it would crash and the games would lag in the menu even " mostly madden 07 ". The only reason why i havent bought a new one is the new 360 the black one with HDMI is coming out next month.

For starters its simply called hockey, by the name hockey it is implied that it is played on ice. 2K started losing in the hockey department right after 2K5, and EAs NHL 07 is the biggest improvement any hockey game has ever received. I'll admit its not perfect, but it more accurately conveys the sport of hockey than 2K7, which is the real pinball game.

I totally agree. I will say I do usually love their bball game but Live 07 had HORRIBLE gameplay. 06 had great gameplay so it really ticked me off to see such junk for 07. That being said, NHL 07 is the best hockey game I have ever played and madden 07 was killer! NCAA 08 looks to be amazing and I am really looking forward to Army of Two. I haven't even mentioned Need for Speed and Burnout which are great games put out by EA. They get a lot of crap for being such a huge company but for the most part they do a great job. Oh yeah, NBA Street Homecourt is SICK!!!

i don't know too much about ea's colonial sports games but their version of football is extremely poor in comparison to konami's, they buy exclusive licenses and slap on pretty graphics and hope that people are too stupid to realise that their games are no fun, unfortunately this crass method of making games usually pays off for them it seems.

If you had to sell a system over that game, you have to be dumb to do that. It's only a game and there's ton of other games besides Madden and you could of waited to get All pro football 2k8. Instead, you had to be idiot,there was a lotta of other choices, like for instance, Gears of War.  So, I guess we will be enjoying playing madden and whole lotta other games while you just sit and moan about how Ea sports games are garbage. Does anyone agree with me?

EA used to be a very respectable company that I trusted with back in my PS2 days of buying Madden and MVP Baseball. Since then, my experience has been pretty horrific. They have yet to release a decent game on the 360 in my book.

I agree.  NCAA on regular xbox and MVP were both amazing games.  They still havent put a solid NCAA football title out yet and their most recent Madden really had some game play issues.  Hopefully they get it right this year because i actually like EA sports wayy better then 2k sports games.  I concluded that i hated mlb 2k7 just like every other 2k sports game.
