This doesnt surprise me one bit, its the same scenario from when I did QA on Live 07/08. The devs just dont get it man. It stems from the suits on down. For all the mess the devs were talking about how they were going to go for 2ks weaknesses, they completely overlooked their own, in a cocky manner, that blew up in their faces. All that yapping.. 100 hours on faces rhetoric, pat on the back hallway meetings etc... they(artists side)all need to retake human anatomy courses, becuase Lives main failure will always stem from their animaitons and human movement. I know because Im an animator. Lives downfall will always start with basic human movement. Until they fix that, their game will never succeed. The programmers need to not allow animations to break at any keyframe, becuase its kills any semblence of "realistic human movement" All that spastic stuff happening. I am going to compile all my post and research all my post into this 1 post becuase someone, anyone needs to show these guys why they continue to fail. 23 or admin, will it be okay for me to go ahead with this. Hopefully a EA dev will read and take what Im going to post to heart.

this...well put

I stopped reading after that tidbit in the article. What a joke.

There's a lot of truth to that. In fact, I'd say their 'out' statement to the press was SOLEY designed to protect ... I mean, keep from dying ..... their other sports games. EA is sinking fast!

So let's reiterate EA's M.O. "If you can't beat them":
a) get the exclusive license.
b) scrap the game.

Happens with all businesses, a company or law firm or whatever gets so big that the product becomes secondary to making money. It becomes solely about money and the focus shifts away from the product being provided. The consumer suffers in the end with an inferior product.

Mr. Knuckles! Its definitely your console. That game is buttery ****ing smooth.
