Let's not. EC fixes some of the egregious problems with ending (e.g. you couldn't tell which side had won without Casey's twitter comments), but that's all it does - clarify. It doesn't change anything about the vast number of other issues - e.g. plotholes (now, apparently plotholes all the way down), Godchild. failure of suspension of disbelief (synthesis), etc.
Without EC, it is a badly written ending they couldn't even bother to complete. Now it's a badly written ending they did, technically, complete - and all the while, they kept insulting us by pretending that we wouldn't notice them not addressing our concerns, and then further insulting us by suggesting that this is an optional gesture of goodwill, rather than the absolute least they have to do.
And that's just the ending - why should I rate something positively when the very premise of the game breaks the series? Having the Reapers invade doesn't make any sense and undermines the series, but you just gotta have epic space battles (which completely ignore ME lore, but hey! SPACE BATTLES!)
It seems like you just want to cause problems based on the "closure" or "clairty" that you didn't like how you couldn't write a better. Btw hopefully you know that the EC was in producion before ME3's launch and Casey did very little based on a late entrance into ME3.

Fan reviews don't matter anyway. They are the most under developed and biased opinions of them all. Not all of them, obviously, but a good portion. I personally ignore them due to this fact. And because it is where fanboys and fan girls go rampant.
Agreed and professionals are more trust worthy whether they're right or wrong since mostly my way or the highway with fan reviews.

I trust fans over the "professionals". Fans don't get pre-release software and special access.
Yet there's a lot more overreacting with some of the "fans" based on expectations and entitlement.

Seriously? I mean really? You honestly think Element Zero is the only case of space magic? What about Shepard's resurrection in ME2? . . . BUT, at least those two have some psuedo-scientific mumbo jumbo to sustain the suspension of disbelief, but the entirety of the synthesis ending comes straight out of left field with enough space magic to compensate for the last two game's relative lack thereof. On top of that even control and destroy contain their own ludicrous amounts of space magic.
It seems like you foorgot that Element Zero is involved with the Mass Effect like Mass Relays and Mass Effect drives. Synthesis didn't come out of left field especially when you look at Saren in ME1. Like I said before so far the only space magic is anything based on Element Zero, which is a basis for Biotics. Btw if you're really mad about space magic then you would have to be angry with the ME series as a whole instead of making ME3 into a meaningless martyr.
