IGN posted a great article about EA selling old games as new. We knew the Wii version got the shaft..but so did the Vita version. EA avoided this being all over the news till now by using such tactics as not sending demos in for reviews and ignoring the media.

EA makes me sick... Im all for big corporations and borderline monopolies (Google, McDonalds, ect) as long as they have some some of respect for their consumers but when that respect goes out the window and they try to screw you over just because they can do it and know youll have to pay anyways (Apple, EA) they can go die and rot in a hole

The point brought up about EA treating the Wii and the Vita the same IS interesting. How does a company expect to sell well if they release a sucky port on a system "few" people own? Especially when it's in direct competition with your own product (the PS3 version) I'd at least expect the PS3's port.

The 3DS version has also been a major disappointment. Since getting it, I've found that the kit and roster updates are not working, meaning that I have effectively been left with a half finished game. I've tried contacting EA and was promised a response within 24 hours, but four days later I've still not heard back.

It's pretty clear that EA only care about the Xbox/PS3/PC when it comes to FIFA, and I doubt I'll be forking out £35 for FIFA Games in the future. I don't understand why they continue to put no effort into other consoles because from what I've heard, FIFA still sells pretty well on consoles like the Wii and Vita.

Edit: I've actually just read on another forum that the 3DS updates are now working, although apparently some lower-league teams still don't have official kits. Still, it's taken almost two weeks for the issue to be resolved.
