I have a friend who buys all of these games at launch and i'm just as confused. He told me that he brought the new one and before the day one patch, the menu was from the last years game, wrong year and everything. The bugs apparently are in every game the same, because it's just the same game. I was playing elden ring one day and saw that he was online playing fifa. I asked him to stream the game on discord, because the last fifa game i owned was 98 and i was curious. So i was playing elden ring with the fifa sound and i was looking over every now and then what's happening.

After only 10 or 15 minutes i got pretty sick of the commentators, using the same phrases over and over again.

People buy it because of the new players and players who switched teams. All EA has to do is edit a text file that says: Ronaldo = Inter Milan or whatever. (Not really, but that's kinda what they do. I don't understand how you not feel scammed. The game doesn't even look that great.

So, to summarize, your expertise comes from playing a previous game in the series 26 years ago and listening to the new game commentary + peeking at a friend's gameplay stream from time to time in a space of 10 to 15 minutes while simultaneously playing a completely different game?
