Well like I said, EA poured a lot of money into the development of that engine that it is kind of their signature engine, like how people associate Valve games with the Source engine, or the Cry engine with Far Cry and Crysis. To be fair, I think the jump from engines for Mass Effect was the right idea, especially for a generation that really only exists for graphical fidelity, but that kind of decision has to be made early on in the game's development.
