I might buy that if it weren't for the fact that the same thing happens to experienced dev teams all the time. Dice aren't exactly new to development and battlefield 4 was released completely smurfed to the point they had to stop development on dlc to get all hands on deck to fix it.

And honestly, knowing what I do about ea, and particularly how they view and hire and fire competent staff, the less inclined I am to buy the developer being the biggest part of the problem. I also doubt that their projected sales and profit margins were so narrow they couldn't wait the extra month or less if took them to actually fix some of those more noticeable issues. In fact, I'd even argue that if it was going to dip into loss territory for them they would have been better off delaying it because reputation has value too. And it's not like they couldn't afford it. They're making more money than ever.
