Jesus, Mary, and Alan Rickman that's idiotic. Actually, I can't tell if EA is moving closer towards cartoonish Captain Planet super-villainy or just praying that their customers are getting dumber.
These guys can go get pushed out of an airplane, fall for miles, and land ass-first on a spire.

EA: Continuing making a stupid ass of themselves and causing me to not even think about playing a single game by them.
This streak has been going on since after NFS Carbon. Shall it stop? Hell naw. They keep making me not want to play any of their published games.

Mass effect got worse when EA didn't just publish the game but also owned the studio, same is true for Battlefield. I would say not making it up is wrong here it makes it worse.

People bought an EA game. If they expected more than the bare minimum of effort on the part of the publisher, they deserve to lose that money.
EA has done this for a while for consoles that they consider dead. It happened with the PS1, as every Madden 2001-2005 were the same game, but with a slightly rearranged front end and updated player rosters/stats. I'm sure the same has happened for all of their game series once the system hardware has proven itself to be obsolete.
This has been going on for years.

I completely understand the EA hate, but let's not completely blame the victims like that.
Also, more new content and innovation here than NSMB2

wow, just wow. i really hope Konami will make as much effort with PES on Wii U as they did on Wii - while i like the plethora of modes, presentation and easy to grasp controls of Fifa games i'm not gonna lie, the last Fifa game i've owned was Fifa 98. after that i played Fifa at friends houses until i picked up PES 2008 and PES 2010 - best football games EVER.
@llort het
What kind of logic is that? NSMB2 is a brand new game with new modes and it tries to innovate.
Whereas this is just Fifa 12 rebranded as 13.
Your attempt at witty humour at Nintendo's expense was not (as you may have thought) hilarious.

What. Isn't that more or less how it is every year with FIFA, Madden and other yearly EA sports games? They update the teams, make a few insignificant changes and release it as a new game. This year they just thought "Fuck it, the sheep aren't gonna care anyway."
@qlum
Agreed. Mass Effect 2 was great where as Mass Effect 3 just felt a little slimier. No talking to NPCs, just creepily listening to conversations so they could say "It's not an RPG guys, you can just run around and then pick up quests." And I still think the multiplayer, although done by another studio besides the main team, took away resources from the upper management so instead of them watching the game and making sure everything felt right, it was just too much work and the game came out much worse for it.
Also the whole "Deus ex Machina" Crucible is completely out of place in the series. A lot like the ending, having a god machine to fix it all just never felt right. And don't forget about the book that came out in January that fans tore to shreds. All of this reeks of EA spreading people too thin.
...........And man that was off topic.
Fuck EA. I think that applies to the post and my rant.

@ UltorOscariot Actually a lot of people that play this game dont read game blogs and stuff, and have no idea of what kind of company EA is.
@arkane: This one didn't even try to hide it. With others, people could at least make an attempt to argue that isn't the case. Can't do that here. :3
"FIFA Football on PS Vita is the same thing, just FIFA 12 repackaged"
I believe FIFA Soccer on Vita wasn't even FIFA 12! It was FIFA 11 released 6months after 12 came out on console!

An uninformed consumer still has themselves to blame first and foremost. They should be happy they are only out $40

UltorOscariot, that is utter nonsense. You don't blame the consumer for the bad behaviour of the company.
Not all gamers are hardcore or well-informed, just as there are people who buy mortgages without understanding simple finance, or similar.
What about those well-meaning grandparents who may well buy such games as presents for their grandkids?
This is precisely WHY consumer protection is in place. Thankfully, I live in England, and I shall have great delight in passing this one onto the Office of Fair Trading.

It would be better if they just put a sticker that said "FIFA 13" slapped over the stock of existing FIFA 12 copies in stores, like Sony does for the Greatest Hits games.
They did this for years with the PC version. Its only recently we get the latest Fifa. I expect it on PC, but not on Wii-U.
Third party support on Nintendo consoles - why try when a huge, rabid, and/or uninformed fan base is willing to buy anything?
Jesus fucking Christ, someone just KILL this company already. It's an utterly disgusting black hole of greed and exploitation that does NOTHING good but poison this industry. Their ability to publish games is self-crippling at best and most certainly NOT worth all the creative originality they murder in cold blood, and all the money they blatantly steal. It's absolutely mind-boggling that they're allowed to continuously do and get away with shit like this. Why are WE allowing it to happen, and why is there seemingly nothing we can do? Aren't there organizations specifically made to side with the customer in these kinds of situations? What the fuck are they doing in the face of everything EA does?
I have refused to buy anything EA. I haven't bought an EA title since they took the exclusive rights to the NFL. Yes I'll say it. NFL 2K series to me was way better than Madden. That's just how I feel.
Reasons like this are why I don't purchase any EA Sports games. I haven't bought Madden since 09. It's a good thing they cancelled NBA Live again, better to save themselves the embarrassment.
@ Ilort Het:
You again !
Have you even played NSMB 2 ? Your comments aren´t even funny anymore, you obviously just want to throw shit at Nintendo. (Draw a line on the controller to shoot a bullet at a big daddy/Shake the controller to reload your weapon etc.)

Caveat emptor, Crunchy.
At some point, EA will collapse under the weight of it's own fuckery. But to say the consumer bears no responsibility in informing themselves in making a purchase is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard

C'mon EA. I don't want to sound like a tinfoil wearing doomsayer but this is ET the Extraterrestrial tier stuff.
