  • in the NCAA series, they managed to break the game so many times last year with their updates an EA employee publically admited online they weren't going to do a 4th patch (even tho it was required) because they were afraid they'd break something else. I believe programmers refer to this as "chaos coding" or something like that?
  • In Madden last year franchise was virtually unplayable because scrubs who were rated in the 70's and unemployed refused to sign for anything less than millions resulting in unrealistic salaries. Rookies were also broken, and, no name fake free agents flooded the game replacing real players

Now I'm nit-picking and I realize this isn't overly important but....

Technically it's only 2 years. If you look at the youtubes of it over the years the celebration does in fact get worse, but it isn't quite the same for that long. In my opinion 04 had the best one (it goes player to player and shows stats). 08 and 09 had that strange orange photo reel thing going on, and then 10 is where it started going off the rails. 10 was the REALLY bad one where it shows a montage of players (like Luongo...?) winning the cup for some damn reason. The last 2 years have been a similar video projected on the ice, but it's more of a team celebration.
