More proof EA could fix all the REAL probs with the game if they wanted to.

They just wont. But ANYTHING that BENEFITS the players is ALWAYS "fixed" in record time, regardless of day, night, holiday etc.

Earlier today the useless helmet stickers for a bum qb no one wants were auctionable. It was fixed within an hour or so. Yet no fixes for the real problems or glitches or missing content. They cant even be bothered to care. Joke company makes joke product, more at eleven.

They have a monopoly, so they can be corrupt without punishment

I blame the NFL also for continuing to license to this pathetic company

Facts.  The NFL is so protective of their shield and want to control almost literally everything from the league, but will somehow accept decades of bullshit, questionable "quality" from the exclusive studio that develops simulation fatball.  I was somewhat checked out from console gaming during the period where 2K Games dropped their title to $19.99, but word on the street is that the NFL did this as a way to punish their company for reducing the cost of ownership.

Kind of a cut off your nose to spite your face type situation, but i guess i have the benefit of hindsight.  EA will do everything in their power to retain that exclusive license, so they can keep reselling us the exact same game year in and year out.

Although, to OP's original post, i'm not convinced EA is capable of fixing many of these gameplay bugs.  Either through sheer incompetence, or brain-drain after all these years, or perhaps due to the ancient Frostbite game engine they continue to use... i don't know the why, but they're definitely not going to start putting forth effort now.  They've been laughing their way to the bank for YEARS and have zero accountability.

Engaging less with the game is a decent start, that's how i'm (personally) going to try and approach things.  Despite my passion and undying love for the great game of football, even my dumbass has limits.  I want to engage in some fun, fair and hopefully competitive online H2H football, but that doesn't seem to be possible.  I haven't heard, let alone been called, the N-word so many times since I was listening to tons of Biggie and Tupac on a daily basis back in the early-mid nineties.  Community is straight up toxic, but ultimately the bulk of the blame lies with EA and of course, the league.
