NHL 11 doesn't seem like it's much different from most other sports games. Its gameplay is probably the best out of any one out there right now but it has its share of problems just like any other game. It's not as if this game is 100% completely awesome and I just can't put it down. For whatever reason, I just keep on coming back and coming back and coming back. Therefore, I'm going to try and do an exorcism of my own mind to figure out why this is going on, how to correct it and whether I actually want it corrected. Oh and if I'm a complete lunatic.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
I am one of the suckers that buys NHL every year. NHL11 is by far the most entertaining.
Unlike the author, this is the first season that I have been loving every mode the game has to offer. I've been playing regular season mode with St. Louis, GM Mode with Toronto, I got drafted to Ottawa in Be a Pro Mode, and there is something very cool about the new EA league that has you trading virtual hockey cards in order to beef up your team.
