I hope everyone refunds this POS. It still blows me away that EA thought they could get away with a scam like this. Did they really believe that they would get away with this and not sniff a single moment of bad press? lol if so, then their lead designer has the common sense of a head of lettuce.

This is what happens when the dollar sign overrides your common sense and lack of judgement. EA knew that they should have either 1) Priced this at $29.99 or 2) "Hey fans, we have run into some time constraints and will be pushing back the release date to October." Had they done either, fans would have understood and still supported their product. An extra month in development would not have hurt their pocketbooks.

I hope their entire team gets fired. Not because they failed in putting out a compentant NHL game with 2 years development, but because what theyre doing is borderline illegal. Putting out a 40% complete game at full price is one thing, but lying to your fans right up to release date is another.

Its like going to the dealer and paying full price for a brand new car. But the dealer took out the hubcaps, the paint, sunroof, stereo, doors, headlights, wipers, seats. "But hey guys, it still runs...we will add everything else later"

Theres even a couple sites that have labelled this as a permanent black mark on their reputation and the EA NHL series as a whole. It will not be forgotten by fans and I think it will hurt their sales for NHL 16 as well.
