I like it actually.
It's more modern. All the relevant information can be displayed in a list without it being a jumbled mess of things everywhere around the site (with the old website).
I looks easier to navigate through, but yes, people who were used to the new site would dislike it as you aren't used to it yet.
People are naturally negative towards change, that is understandable but if everything was old, then there would be nothing new, no innovation.
Now, lets say you visited the CA website for the first time. The webUI seems old, and the game seems a tad old.
You want to be playing the latest game instead of an 'old shitty' game don't you? With the old UI, you get that feel but with this, it's more modern and aesthetic to the eye.
The game seems more 'modern' and it's always the first impression that counts with games.
Yes, it will need more work to be perfect, but the way they're headed I think it's a great change.
