Yeah, the actual game mechanics of CFB25 were complete dogshit. Everything about them. It’s like they kept only the bad things about Madden and used none of the good. But with basketball, they have no good to source from. There hasn’t been a single good quality about an EA basketball game since the Sega Genesis.
It doesn’t. It literally doesn’t. They have the same amount of time. A smaller dev team, and roughly 7x as many locations and players and teams to accommodate. On top of the fact that now they have to PAY a shit ton morning likeness agreements and licensing. People will buy it because people are stupid like that. But there’s literally nothing in recent history to suggest that EA is going to suddenly make their first good basketball game in 20 years.
