I would agree that if it doesn't fly with the consumer, that they will drop it.

Trust me, precision passing won't be around in 2008 because EA sports will realize they are losing money because of it. They want to please the masses.
I don't think you are correct on that assumption.

And my reason for not liking it is that it made the game too realistic. Video games aren't supposed to always emulate real life. Super realistic doesn't always make for a better game. I liked high scoring affairs. It made the game fun. Precision passing made too many drives stall. Too hard to complete passes. Yeah, I could still beat the computer and still beat people I played, but I didn't have fun doing it.
If it wasn't hard, it wouldn't be worth doing. I mean, if it was easy all the time, with no real threat of losing... The game would suck. I like challenge. OH yes... Challenge is good.

I'm guessing you liked it because you maybe have the time to sit around all day and figure out every intricacy of precision passing and become great at it as opposed to proficient.
Then I would guess that you can understand why people jump to the same thought process, but opposite opinion of the conclusion of why you don't like it.

Speaking of work, lunch is over so I can't argue about hating Precision Passing anymore.
I know your pain!
