What players say
This was a rebuy from long ago, when I thought this game was one of the best, and now over a decade plus, I am rediscovering that I was right all along. I am entrenched in the saga once again!

Somehow better than the first game which is impressive because I considered (and still do consider) that game to be a masterpiece, taking a minor antagonist faction and placing our protagonist into their service was a genius storytelling decision. It uplifts almost everything from its predecessor.
Good game but EA app is sh*t. I hate it, it f*cks up troubleshooting. It f*cked up and now I'm reinstalling everything. Last time I touch this f*cking garbage. I f*cking hope you stick to your stupid sport games and don't ever ruin another good game with this nonsense.
