EA branded unsatisfactory by Better Business Bureau

EA's latest version of Madden is severly p***ing off gamers with a few deeming it as unplayable due to the bugs involved. The Xbox 360 and PS3 version suffer from similar bugs and even the Wii suffers from quite a long list. On the list include system freezes, online play trouble, players disappearing from the free agent pool and quarterbacks automatically throwing the ball as soon as it is hiked. Consumers are filing reports everyhere possible not to mention to the Better Business Bureau in California where EA is headquarted in which the Bureau has received 443 complaints regarding EA in the past 36 months resulting in an unsatisfactory rating.

1.1 - Thank-you

Great Find! Perhaps this will open the average gamers eyes to the crud that EA produces.

Who cares what version is better than the other, when they all versions are complete crap.

In the end it doesn't matter if your Sh*# is browner, or bigger than mine..
Its the fact that we are arguing about Sh*# in the first place.

EA products = Sh*#

Madden's and I have been asking all sports fans to boycott EA. There is a reason why folks. Why fuel the fire of mediocrity? Keep sending those complaints in. Keep writing to EA. Write to your congressman! Write to the president. EA needs to get back to reality. Bring back the good old Genesis days.

I wish the NFL would break the contract and turn the license over to anyone.

Competition is always better for the consumer (us!)

Despite Fanboys saying Sony Sux or that the 360 stinks.. without that competition, we would all lose and no gaming innovation would take place and console prices would be SKY HIGH.

I have since traded it in for Heavenly sword.

The game was unplayable, to many damn bugs to be enjoyed. I was looking forward to NHL 08 but I will not give EA anymore of my money.

12 - LETS ALL BOYCOTT EA

Think bout it we can at least try to do something here so they can give up the NFL RIGHTS SO OTHER DEVELOPERS CAN MAKE BETTER FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL GAMES. I really want 2k to make another nfl game and the others. Lets get a letter going on n4g with mad signatures, from all the gamers that thinks EA IS NOT IN THE GAME BUT IN OUR POCKETS FOR SORRY AZZ GAMES. We need for EA to not have the NFL RIGHTS ANYMORE BETTER YET IF YOU LIKE BASKETBALL JUST DONT BUY LIVE GET THE 2K8 AND SONY NBA 08

14 - they forgot to mention

you can only play it on-line for a year

the fifa demo sucked for me / just trying to score a goal against the goal keeper was next to impossible / something like 50 long shots were over the post by abot 20 feet / this player gets 50 grand a week and cant even kick a F**king ball straight WTF

The passing was slugish / inaccurate / and looked like a two year old kicking the ball to his dad

i much prefer the style of This is Football for the ps2

i rate fifa as one big f**k-up 0/10

You know, its really easy to bash them but really, they put out a new version every year. Thats not exactly easy. I'm not saying its an excuse for faulty programming as they should take more time if needed. Then again it is one if not the highest selling game so I guess if people are willing to buy it...

EA are lazy whores. I'm just glad the few games of theirs I'm actually interested in, they are only publishers and hopefully have the sense enough to stay out of the developers way and let them make a good game. Something they have long since lost the skill for.

26 - the result of no competition

EA's exclusive contract with the NFL has made them lazy and less innovative. 2K Sports made a hell of a better product- the NFL should wise up before crap like Madden ruins their image (and crap like Mike Vick, Tank Johnson, etc.).

The EA sports division has gone down the toilet. You could be guaranteed that, from the gang of 9 lads that I hang about with, that they would all buy at least 3 EA sports titles each year. It's not going to happen any more thought. Fifa 08 demo didn't impress. Tiger 08 just as disappointing. I personally have no intention of funding such lazy efforts at games. Is it just me or does anybody else feel insulted by this Sh!t that EA keeps pawning off on us gamers?
