And the sad thing is....I WANT to like this shit. Up until around 2010....I bought that shit every year (same thing with NCAA). There was never a time more exciting then getting NCAA and powering through 3-4 seasons so you had those draft classes to import. My buddies and I used to spend entire weekends and every day after work sitting in our living room playing these games.
EA has ****ed up their biggest cash cow and it saddens me.

You're right. I won't argue. They obviously concentrated more on the next gen versions even though the majority of their sales are for the 360 and PS3. Check out some of the game play vids that show the difference. It's glaring.
I can stop a game at any time, (without saving) and turn off my system. Then pick it right back up hours later.
The load times are under 30 seconds.
The graphics are great, maybe not fully next gen yet but the best I've seen.
The players and camera crews on the sidelines actually do stuff.
The crowd is much better and the play by play from Nance and Simms is much improved, (still kinda lame).
I've heard nothing but bad reviews for the current gen consoles so far. No improvements, constant crashes, online sucks etc.
I'm sure I'll start hating it again in a year or two when they don't improve anything. Lmao
I'm actually considering buying NHL now amd I haven't done that in 7-8 years.
