Hahah yeah Battlefield was awesome. Battlefield 2 is pretty good too.
Actually, not all the games that EA brings out are bad. The difference with EA and Blizzard is the latter's unmatchable product support.
StarCraft for example, being the 10-year-old game that it is, actually just got a new patch!
Imagine if FROMsoft had that kind of support for AC.

AFAIK both companies have different consumer targets, EA aims at the casual players and the younger audience who are just into FPS and sports, hoping to attract more customers with the typical style of gaming (take Bethesda's example on Fallout 3)
On the other hand, Blizzard remains loyal to its fanbase. You know how dedicated Bliz is to their fans, and the fans know how important they are to Blizzard (they made a Korean version of the SC2 intro when Bliz gave 'em a peek on SC2's development).

2k sports series owns the live series.
even though both games target the casual, 2k series delivered a better gameplay experience that rewards the better player.
And my undieing hatred to EA still continues.

Exactly. EA thinks too much like a conglomerate. And indeed, that's what they are.

EA isn't so bad. Yeah they produce the mass-market games. So what? There's always going to be the biggest player in any game. EA Sports gets the bad rep it deserves, but EA Sports isn't EA.
The Need for Speed games are solid arcade racing titles. It's just that they deal with the popular (or is that unpopular?) tuner culture, so they get a lot of negative, anti-ricer arguments. Burnout's another example of a good franchise.
Yes, we know it will be beaten by StarCraft 2, but who here has played Red Alert 3 to really have a definitive say on whether it's good or bad?
Also, The Sims. Spore. Maxis. Will Wright. Bad? I hardly think so.

No, I don't work for EA, and probably never will. I just don't like to see a whole company's name being smeared just because it's a big corporation, or because one of its divisions rehashes sports games year after year.

EA = McD's of gaming. Not even Starbucks. McD's.
Well, McD's and Starbucks got me through college
For me, EA is just another gaming company. Let any company get big enough and they'll probably do the same.
