reasoning for release in 08

[MaiaMadness]

I hope they WILL wait until 2009. EA always rush things, and release games before they've gone through enough beta-testing (or usually any beta-testing at all), which is why the games are always so buggy. Then they use a lot of time trying to figure out where the problems lie, and developing patches, time much better spent developing new and better games. This is very inefficient, and they end up slowing themselves down. And us gamers get sub-standard, prematurely released products. It's because they're cheap and don't want to pay third party beta testers to try out their games. Too bad. I'd do it for free.
