Well, from what I understand about EA development strategy is that it's managed by Beelzebub. When you first buy a game it's just out of the limbo where it's good but not excellent. At that point the game passes through descending rings of programmers; the creators of the engine, less experienced programmers, foreign programmers, programmers on another continent, and finally programmers on another continent who speak obscure languages. This culminates in something like EA Cambodia calling up the original programmers of EA Canada trying to figure out how EA Bulgaria caused a memory leak. Eventually everyone gets tried of that so they send it to the lowest ring, EA Indonesia which is actually a brothel.


Long story short the guys who programmed the original game probably aren't the same people who made the expansions.
