EA always find a way to make me despise them even more. They have ruined so many games through greed of profit, one of my favourite on the console was the Fight Night series. That was until Fight Night Champion when they added an online skill buy system, you bought it with microsoft points and you could spend it to train skills for your online boxer, this resulted in massive unbalance because you might get matched up against a boxer who has the same or similar overall rating as you, say around 70-72 for example, but he actually has 1 punch that is maxed in skill points. Which in turn means when he hits you with it, which he eventually will even if you are really good at the game, it will fucking destroy you hard, it will atleast rock you badly, good chance of even knocking you down, sometimes even just KO you outright and game over. EVen if you blocked it, your blocking skills will be no match for the maxed punch and it often still owns you through the block.
Thanks EA, that's really fun for people who want to play the game and progress properly. Before that they also destroyed my first and favourite MMORPG which Was Ultima Online, it was an awesome game ( like many years ago, think I first played that when I was about 13, I'm now 26 ) until EA took it over and slowly turned it into some carebear fairyland bundle of shit.
