Well, it has the tweaks of the engine that you would expect with a new version, but for some reason they totally wrecked franchise mode. Old franchise mode, you were more of a general manager with total control over your team. With this version, you start a career as either a coach or a player.
Coach mode is like the old franchise modes where you draft/resign players etc., but the interface sucks and the simulations are rediculous. Generally every team has a quarterback that throws for over 4k yards and scores over 400 points a season. Hell, I simmed a season last night as the Raiders with Matt Leinart as my QB. We went 14-2 and he broke all the passing records along the way.
The create a superstar mode is the only way to create your own player in a franchise type setting. It's borked as well. Your performance in practice drills and games earns you points to spend on ratings, which is cool and all. But while playing games, you only control your player. So if you created a quarterback, that's all you control. So when you hand the ball off, you get to watch the rest of the play. Defense is even worse as plays are simmed until you get the ball back and your qb is on the field again.
Just some weird design decisions overall when it comes to franchise mode.
i have no love for EA anymore but i honestly believe that this was a economical-political voting. it is no big deal if a game company is considered the worst company but bank of america is a whole different stroy. think about it, if bank of america was announced to be worst company in USA, their economy would hit a hard rock and politicans; specially current democrate govt. would be under shit load of scrutiny. i think they mostly accepted the vote against EA and discounted many vote against bank of america.
Boobs are LIFE, Boobs are LOVE, Boobs are JUSTICE, Boobs are mankind's HOPES and DREAMS. People who complain about boobs have lost their humanity.

i know,,but EA dont
and if they dont learn,,they will get the third one too
i think they simply got too big to succeed, same thing happened to blizzard,
Funny thing is, they are still in phase of pointing fingers instead looking inside to see why they actually got this prestigious award 2nd year in a row.

that extra month of waiting would have saved them from a lot of bad PR
It's not the worst company in america. There are several dodgy banks, mercenary companies, cigarette manufacturers, arms dealers, ambulance chasing legal firms and hedge funds that easily out evil ea.
It IS THE worst games company in the entire world though, despite the best efforts of the likes of activision.

The man speaks the truth, people are so dumb nowdays, EA brings games, BP oil kills people, people nowdays are just illogical.

I like EA, and I have certain felling deep inside for you other guys here that complain but I can't tell you about it because I already had a warning
But in short; grow up and if not stop posting.
and EA had TWO warnings in a row now
or do you think they can survive with you , as their only customer
heh,,now theyre thinking "we shouldnt have fired john so soon,,he would have been a PERFECT fall guy for this"
that extra month of waiting would have saved them from a lot of bad PR
but they wanted that extra revenue,,NOW

Worst gaming company for sure. Not worst company in the world or America by longshot.
