The only good EA game I've plpayed is MOH.
Even that is now showing its age.

Computer programming is stressful for 2 main reasons:

1.Concentration. It takes a LOT of thought, study and concentration to
program well. When I first took a programming job it hit me like a steam
roller how much concentration is required to do it under pressure.
But I did get used to it after about a year or so. After 3 years I was
mentally knackered and left, none the richer except for wisdom.

2. Deadlines. Middle managers often like setting deadlines that make them
look good (ambitious) but take little or no account of how much actual work
is required by the people actually producing. They don't care as long as you
are beavering away like mad and they will leave you alone(if you're lucky)
to wear yourself out. They love to pour scorn on your efforts even if they
know you had no chance of realistically meeting their deadline without
issues arrising. Being new to the software 'game' means you will inevitably
feel oblidged to work your ass off to show that you can do it. That leaves
you wide open to management exploitation and they do exploit new/younger
workers with relish. You learn with time that having good knowledge of whats
involved in a requested project in terms of complexity and volume of coding
are the best way to stand up for yourself against management intimidation.
But in the end, they can always sack you and take on another load of juniors
who'll gladly thrash themselves for low money.

Life sucks then you die. Unless you're rich.
