Just as I said.
A problem that was affecting their pockets? Resolved in 12 hours.
Problems that ruin their online gameplay? No fixes for 78 days.
Truly an embarrassing look for an embarrassing company @SonySanDiego@MLBTheShow Wake up.
Nobody is okay right now.
Gas is $4.50 a gallon.
Rent is $1,800 in the hood.
Daycare is $1,500 a month.
Groceries are up 40% since 2020.
Credit cards are at 21% interest.
A starter home requires a $80,000 down payment.
Health insurance is $500 a month with a $6,000 deductible.
And somehow everyone is still showing up.
To work. To parent.
To pay bills. To hold it together.
We are not lazy.
We are not irresponsible.
We are not making excuses.
We are exhausted from doing everything right in a system designed to keep us behind.
Give people grace right now.
Everyone is one unexpected bill away from falling apart.
And most of them are smiling through it.
Helluva play but also hilarious that he goes that deep into the hole, makes the throw, 1B doesn’t even stretch & the runner is still nowhere in the frame.
Hot take:
Athletes should be able to clap back at fans with no repercussions. I don’t care how much they get paid, sports fans talk reckless knowing athletes aren’t supposed to clap back because they’ll get fined or “exposed”
The equipment people are right about what the game should have. The issue isnt capability.
EA can add all of it. Hanging mouthpieces, better helmet fit, real undershirts, branded back plates, better cleats, better body types, deeper customization, open world, all of it.
The problem is incentive.
Since Ultimate Team became the actual business model, EA has not needed to make the best football game possible. They just need the only licensed football game available, a yearly roster refresh, and a core base trained to buy the game again, then dump money into packs.
That is why the game can feel like it has been running on the same bones forever.
Because the pressure is not coming from another studio. It is coming from consumers who complain every summer, buy it anyway, then feed the mode that tells EA the model still works.
The equipment complaints are valid. The frustration is valid. But the deeper problem is not “why won’t EA add a mouthpiece?”
It is: why would EA overhaul anything when the monopoly, the license, and Ultimate Team already print money?
Until there is a real competitor, or until the license is threatened, or until people stop rewarding the cycle, EA has no real reason to treat these details like priorities. They are not incapable. They are comfortable.
2 Democratic States have redrawn, both with a mandate from the people.
5 Republicans States (soon to be 6) have redrawn without a single person getting a vote.
Both sides are not the same.
i'm sorry but this section is complete and total bullshit.
you said you were going to remove it, and now this write up is them explaining basically why they have decided to keep it in the game????
the section where they said only 1 of 2 penalties hits us now is simply incorrect
The most shocking thing about this is that Trump falling asleep in public at the age of 79 is a very regular occurrence, and yet the same journalists that tweeted weekly about Biden’s age & fitness just don’t really care
Texas: We're redistricting without voter input because Daddy Trump told us too.
Maga:; 🙌👏 Yay, Own the Libs!
Virginia & California:
We're using the Democratic process to let voters decide.
Maga: That's undemocratic! 😡
