EA Sports is under performing then?

Either that or i suspose pricing EA sports games lower will help kill off other sports games. Saying that they should be cheaper, all they literally do is change a few features each year. Its hard to spend 40quid on a game which is the same as i brought last year

They should cut the prices for all platforms...how much does it cost to create a game disk? Not $50-60 I can tell you that.

5 - It might be bad for EA

but it's good for the consumer. I've noticed that EA have recently been a little battered by many posters particularly in relation to their PS3 ports. However, I agree with both previous comments. It would be nice if games were a little more affordable and that updates on sports games were a little more than just basic upgrades. Otherwise, why would anyone buy it again?

well since basically they just do a roster update year to year it makes good sense. maybe they should keep the price the same and release a game every two years. that should give them long enough to rebuild the game from the ground up and not cheat one console on development time.
