What the fuck are you talking about... Its with the break at 2002 game when things all started to go to hell for the PC.
It's not like we then got the better version that was designed for the PS2 or XBox... It was a worse version of the game!
Prior to Live 2002, the game was primarily designed for the PC!!! Before that we got the PC game and it was ported to the consoles of the time. But during production of the 2001 game, EA fired the PC oriented crew and got some console people in there to design the game primarily for the consoles! Now that sucked balls big time. (No offense Tim, if you're reading this) And this is why the 2002 version missed the PC release. They were busy learning to make the game for the consoles.
And we haven't had a great PC game since. The UI went to hell and everything else with it. They have primarily fixed one thing and broken down 3 others in the process of the PC game. That's what we have gotten.
If we finally get a port of the current gen machines for the PC, the break year is ok in my books. It's a frikkin bussiness, but I don't get why this wasn't done in the first place... Why create two widely different games since you could do only one and forget the previous console platforms and the fact that the PC will always catch up and leave consoles eating dust in the end... But I guess it wasn't a sound bussiness plan at the time.
I'm missing the times when we got a PC game for the PC! And not some half-assed port from an inferior console with lame make-shift controls...
If Live 09 was another old game port from PS2 etc. I wouldn't have bought it. I just hope that we finally get a game up to standards that doesn't look like it's been around since 2002!!! Damn it.
Disappointed... One word to describe this whole pile of EA shit...
