EB2 beta release is less bugged than Rome 2 first official release.
EB2 beta release is more stable than Rome 2 first official release.
EB2 beta release have more features than Rome 2 today.
EB2 beta release has more skins and probably more units than Rome 2 today.
EB2 Introduced more features than its predecessors, Rome 2 cut a lot of features that where in its predecessors.
EB2 beta release surpassed our high expectations. Rome 2 failed miserable to met the high expectations of its fans.

And to end:

EB2 team is working hard since the beta release to fix all issues and bugs reported by the players.

CA team was working hard since the first release of Rome 2.... making DLCS

Actually they did a lot of patching too. It's still a mess as far as I can tell from the younger Rome 2 media on YT.

Good points, but EB2 still needs a lot of work before it can stand next to the first one and other mods like SSteel and TATW.

EB2 was in development for 6 years longer.

EB2 is already the most massive mod ever made in the total war series. Look at all they did from scratch. O_o from the skins, units, world map, settlements in the campaign and battle map. to the macedonian and greek phalanxes. there is no mod more complete than EB2 for medieval 2.

That may be true, but on the other hand the EB team has been working in their free time, without pay. Simply out of their own dedication. So you can say EB2 was in development for longer, and yes technically you are correct, but any in-context comparison with CA makes CA look pretty bad.
