EA Sports Sucks

Maybe this will be a new feature on this blog--the "it sucks" feature. The blog version of Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage.

I have owned a copy of FIFA 13 for a while. I was happy with it until a few weeks ago when they changed the multiplayer functionality. Now, instead of the game automatically finding a match for me, I have to go online to EA Sports site, which routes me to Virgin's website, where I can finally select a forum room and find a game. Then I have to try and find a person to play against, by "challenging them." That's right, no automatic matching. Also, I can only challenge one person at a time. If the other person doesn't immediately respond, I sit wondering whether I should give up and look for another match-up, or give the other person more time.

Way to go EA Sports. You took a feature that worked perfectly fine and turned it a huge headache. And it happened to be the feature I used most. Thanks for ruining the game for me.
