Because, to them, maybe they're not affected or don't believe that they've screwed things up. I don't agree at all with the fact that they took player editing out, but I can understand and agree that in the grand scheme of everything going on it wasn't something huge. With that being said, to other people it absolutely is huge which is why there are infuriated people out there.

Everyone has a different priority list and opinions on the importance of those priorities. With that much disparity it's going to be impossible for everyone to see eye-to-eye and when people don't respect that fact is where the problem tends to lie.

Roger that.....If they're not affected they probably don't understand though and when they defend EA its frustrating for some people. For example; I wouldn't expect someone that does play now by themselves at home or an online guy that only likes to jump on and play against friends/randoms to understand why people would be upset about custom playebooks and editing not being available because both those users don't use the game the same way others do. Removing the features they've removed was a major screw up, but I'm talking about other things outside of even 13 where people defend EA for stuff like KISS shoulder pads on NCAA imported players for example.

I'm not saying everyone should agree, I'm just surprised at how much support EA gets from some people even when they drop the ball.

A lot of people really don't understand but at the same time I think a lot of people do. I wouldn't say I'm greatly affected by the removal of the features but it's not because I didn't use or love them. It's just that with everything else I've seen it's done a great job making what could be a major disappointment seemingly non-existent. Some people feel the exact opposite.

I don't defend the removal of features and I don't really see a reason why anybody would. The main things I defend is when things get taken to the absolute extreme and are greatly exaggerated to try and make a point. And I'm not talking about the issue itself. You can't exaggerate 111 pages and countless posts in other threads. I'm talking about the claims of QB's wearing numbers in the 40's and looking like offensive linemen, punters looking like defensive tackles, etc.
