I admire your optimism but why would EA feel they need to make a football game for us Career Mode fans who want realistic gameplay?
I can see few reasons. And bare in mind - none of them is a big. Its more like - coz they can.
Whether they like it or not - there's a significant number of people playing CM and it has always been one of their main modes, like Master League. They did ignore Career Mode for years, yet recently you can see that they are adding new features, improving it - because there was enough noise made by CM fans and EA simply had to do something there.
Reputation is a big thing. And Career Mode people are like this annoying fly that circling around them. Twitter, youtube, even
@Matt10 . Clips online, posts, especially those well articulated - are something that smart EA people can only ignore for so long.
Its not some raging kids screaming - they are well made, explained, supported by video examples, proving that their game is lacking basics of sport it represents. Its annoying, frustrating and it hurts the general reputation.
I know that if I worked for EA (even if I had zero interest in football games) - I would be going to the bosses with ideas how to improve and fix these things - simply because it would improve the general image of the game. Because its harder to ignore people who do have a point.
I dont believe EA is full of people who dont give two fucks about their game and their image. Its just human nature. There must be people who actually want this game to be a good football game.
And their company at this stage is so big and they are making such profits, that I can see their bosses one day saying to Career Mode developers
- Ah for fuck sakes! OK! OK! Go and work on that sim gameplay and stop annoying me! Take Bob, Reggie and pick 10 others to help you. Im fucking sick of listening about that!
