		<description>One has to hope that their laziness will save us all.

I&#039;m hoping they&#039;re too lazy shitify Bioware&#039;s projects, instead of just leaving them be and making money.

How much insight do have for the actual reasons EA sports games are so bad? I&#039;m curious to know what factors are at play. You mentioned that a lack of competition has made way for developer laziness, but which developers are they? How much development does EA directly contribute?

There may still be hope that Take Two&#039;s projects will still be handled by the same people, and still as good as they ever would have been, because some devs actually like making good work.

There&#039;s definitely absolutely no good that come from this, but let&#039;s hope it doesn&#039;t plummit to hell like a lead anvil either.

At least if it gets any worse it&#039;ll create sufficient demand for fresh ideas from new/upcoming developers too.</description>
