one thing that could be said is that most EA games lack effort of some sort.
nascar only having 4 player online?!?! with a game based around a huge number of cars they could have atleast bumped that number up to 8 or 12, but no they just slapped it over from the ps2 version. and in honesty any EA game ive seen online on xbox just seems like a half assed port from the ps2 with very little live enhancements. the MoA series has taken a real dive and holds no interest to me. games being developed for the ps2 first then scaled up for the xbox and gamecube holds back the better systems for lack of technology and innovation.
like someone said they should make games for the xbox ground up and then scale it down for the lesser consoles, that way it would still look great for the other gem of a consoles but actually take advantage of the xbox.
just look at the head of EA Don Mattrick, now that guy is a tool through and through. hes a perfect reflection of his BS company
