Spent $64 for FIFA 19 to play Pro Clubs with the lads and a GK kick breaks the offside rule so I guess I just lost $64 for no fucking reason.

Never played or even knew about this one.
It would be tremendous with the Amnesia engine. Hope someone finishes it.

Origin was another big one they killed off.

Don’t remind me. Crusader: No Remorse was one of my favourite games of all time.

Paradox is known for that, too. EU is ridiculously expensive if you pay all of the expansions. HOI is getting up there, too. But their content supports the price*. Some games have more effort put into them and are worth more than $60. An analogy I'd use is buying a movie vs. buying a miniseries box set.
I have no idea about the Sims, though. It could just be layers of uselessness.

Do they even make games anymore. I figured at this point they were just a publisher.

the last time i worked on an NHL game with EA there were double the number of Devs working on it. EA has cut a lot of its funding for the NHL series and it is very disappointing

Did they ever make games? I thought they were only ever a publisher?

That Clive Barker game was made by EA Los Angeles which was actually BOUGHT from Dreamworks...
That is all that EA did, they bought other good game makers...then destroyed them. The only OTHER thing they have been good at.

Ditto, NHL and Madden played far better on the Genesis. It was so smooth in comparison. The SNES always felt janky to me. It's like playing 30 FPS on console now vs 60 FPS on PC, but worse. Yes, Genesis made me an FPS whore.
I prefered Sega's controller too. I held it like a claw so I could hit all three buttons instantly, using my thumb to grip under the controller. I played that way well into the PS2's lifecycle, before it became too impractical to use shoulder buttons, especially on the Xbox's cadillac (Duke?) controller lol.
The claw grip was great for PS1 fighting games, like Soul Blade and Tekken, which the Gensis prepped me for. No one I saw ever held it my way. I owned all in SB with Li Long. He had a big attack where you had to hit the circle, triangle and square at the same time, impossible with a thumb.
SNES felt like it was more for kids too, thanks to Mortal Kombat's lack of gore and toned down finishers, not to mention it's NA design. The Genesis just looked better to me
Of course, the SNES had the better overall library, but seeing as I was all about sports games and Mortal Kombat at the time, and I had to choose one, it was a no brainer for me.

Why has noone ever tried to remake that series, amazing game for its time, i would purchase a remake with updated graphics in a heartbeat

EA ruined the Command and Conquer franchise. The only good thing that came out from them was Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge after they absorbed Westwood.

Were EA Sports games even on SNES in the early 90s? I know some of my other EA favorites like Road Rash and the Strike series were only on Genesis for awhile.Ditto, NHL and Madden played far better on the Genesis. It was so smooth in comparison.

Funny you bring up the censoring in Mortal Kombat because that was another main reason I wanted Genesis over SNES. It was a huge deal back then.
One thing I did hate about EA back then though was how their Genesis carts were shaped differently.
