Can't have a "new" feature if it is the same. What they did was take the existing playcall screen and reversed scrolling pretty much everything. So instead scrolling down to look at different formations within a formation, you scroll sideways. Instead of scrolling sideways to look at different formations like 4-3, nickel, you scroll down. That is EA's trick. it is "new", but it is the same, but reversed.

Only to turn around and give people less access(time wise) to the game than they would have gotten with a demo. We see this all the time a company will extract from consumers what they feel they can. If it isn't micro-transactions it's something like this. If EA has success giving you more for less and then charging you for the rest expect it to become a trend. I for one agree that as a consumer it isn't always about what you have to spend it's about what you believe is fair. As long as you just go along with things because it's not too bad the more things will progressively get worse.

Not really. They milk it too bad then they kill the golden goose. Gamers are very fickle. They didn't sell us the idea of early access to a full version, they literally sold us access to a full version. Not getting into the timed debate, it's a dead horse that only a select few continue to beat.

I'd take my 6 hours tinkering with Ultimate Team, simming 10 years in CFM and tinkering with rosters and preseason and playing with a created player and owner. All within a few hours and nothing I could do in any demo they've ever released.

Would I like more? Absolutely. Will I pay another $5? Probably not. If I had the option of doing so without making another account... eh, reply hazy, try again later.

What happened? Were you locked out after just 1 hr and 20 minutes of playing?

And we may adjust. It may just suck right now because we have been looking at the same thing for such a long time.

Are you suggesting there's nothing new at all about play calling but just scrolling?
