I have a big problem with EA throwing out a defective game and then essentially packing up their bags and leaving their customers high and dry. Game freezes are unacceptable, something that was left in the old-gen era. The unwillingness of EA to at least perform the right ethical action has reaffirmed the belief in my mind that they have become completely greedy and profit hungry since their stock price plummeted during the economic collapse of fall 2008.
I have traded in the game for a new version. Still freezes. I have tried playing the game on a different 360. Still freezes. The freezes occur at any time of any game not matter what I do.
I understand EA's hardships during these troubling times because I did a financial analysis of the company for one of my business grad classes. I understand that certain cutbacks have had to be made to keep the company afloat. Nevertheless, when I read about NBA live lead designer Mike Wang returning to Take Two Interactive and blasting EA for being "inefficient", I felt my concerns were at least validated.
I implore EA to consider its own ethics at the very least release a patch fixing the freezes to at least satisfy your fans. Do the right thing EA

Examples:
1. We drafted Ray Allen in 96 to go along with Garnett but decided to trade him for Marbury and also give up a first round pick. Marbury ended up being a jealous head case and was eventually traded.
2. For some unknow reason the owner of the Timberwolves thought it was a good idea to pay Joe Smith 90 million under table, which resulted in us losing 4 first round draft picks after David Stern found out. Joe Smith has never done anything that warranted him getting a third of 90 million in his entire career.
3. We draft Brandon Roy in 06 and traded him for Randy Foye. Foye isn't horrible but he isn't on the same level as Roy.
4. We draft OJ Mayo in 08 and trade him for Kevin Love for some unknow reason even though we have a all star caliber small forward already.
5. 2009 we had the most incompetent draft in the history of the league when we drafted 4 point guards with our 6 picks. The top guard drafted still has played for the team and the best point guard we drafted was traded to Denver. We passed up Steph Curry and Brandon Jennings. This one hurts a lot because of the talented guys we passed up.
6. Whenever we have a chance to get the top pick we always go back in the draft ping pong game and miss out on talented players like Iverson, Shaq, Penny, Webber, Mourning, LJ, Durant, Rose and now this year Wall and Turner. We went from being second in chance to the fourth pick.
