Someone posted this on the EA Fight Night forums. I wanted to post it in a blog for discussion to see what people think.

I can't believe this EA Producer said this. He must not have seen all the people up in EA Canada who just lost their jobs thinking this way. NBA ELITE team thought that same way. They thought the ******s were going to make them money. Guess who stood up and said something...... The hardcore basketball fans wasn't having that ******s first thinking.

I really hope these guys working on this game know this could be the end of the road if they don't do this correctly. You can give someone something that looks good but after that it better have substinence.
We know they are trying to capture both markets, but trust me it's very hard to add a balance that will please the majority.

EA is talking about getting new customers, they better be scared they lose old customer.
