When EA came under new management in 2006-2007, the new guy really turned this company around. EA used to be the cancer of the gaming industry but now they have their hands in just about every major multiplatform game out there.

Indeed, their turnaround has been impressive. Everything people say about Activision now, they were saying about EA 2 years ago. It used to be the bad guy.
I don't know if I'd agree that they can't be matched in quality, but I can't deny that they have shown huge improvement lately.

Saaking, I think EA is referring to themselves as the best multiplatform publishers. They have to concentrate on multiple consoles and PC. I think they're doing well, considering. Sony only has to focus on its own tech with its own devs. Of course, with that kind of advantage, Sony teams won't be beaten in quality. But games like Bad Company 2 and Dead Space exhibit EAs shift in the kinds of games they're making. They still retained the old habits of making yearly sports titles, but they have to make money somehow. We as gamers didn't do a very good job of supporting EA when they made their new IPs. Neither Dead Space nor Mirror's Edge did very well.

Sorry, couldn't resist
Come to think of it, only a couple games I've bought in the last few years had the EA logo on them. There must be a lot of good ones but I don't seem to get many of them

Oh, and the only EA game I'm looking forward to off the top of my head is Mass Effect 2. It's really looking good.
Still haven't bought mw2 by the way. Sticking to my word.

I wouldn't include companies like Sony, Nintendo or MS his statement. He's probably talking about Activision, and THQ and other publishers that aren't associated with a certain piece of hardware.

i said the same thing.... i didnt want to support activision and didnt like the opening scene... but if iw is willing to got "that" far with their opening scene then imagine what the rest of the game is like???
at first i was appalled at what the airport scene contained but now i cant wait to see how they are going to get to you.
i have already bought the game, but since im at my yearly A.T. (annual training- national guard) i dont have my ps3 or xbox with me.... :(

Well, um, that's because they OWN every game company. But in all seriousness, they have made some tremendous strides over the years. I applaud them for it.
@Saaking: You need to seriously get your lips off Sony's butthole dude. Every single post you make is praising Sony, while every other company is just garbage. Believe it or not, there is other developers out there that make great games beside Sony. So please, try to use a little variety every once in awhile and quit being such a stereotypical fanboy.

Capcom to me is still the best and most consistent(360,ps3 games look, play identical) multiplatform developer so far in terms of quality and fun factor.

Yeah, that would explain why all of their games get scores like Uncharted 2...
/sarcasm
As for the Peter Moore comment, let's not forget, he only took over the sports portion, not the entire studio house so no, it is not Moores glory for the rise of EA from it's demon self two years ago.

3 - New ip's
I am happy that ea took a chance on new ip's. Soon they will go back to being the old ea with a sequel every year, because not enough people bought the new ip's. i think it's a shame. i take new ip's over cod 4.1 anytime.

He's right. No one can match them in quality. Everyone else is either above them in quality or below them. Still EA is pritty cool guy, he puts multiple games out a year and doesnt afraid of anything. :P

16 - Misleading title......... again.....
This is what John Schappert said:
“No other game company can match our track record for quality.”
I agree with him. Almost every EA game I bought is really up-to-snuff. They've got the quality AND "quantity to back them up."
The title insinuates that the company has the "best" quality games instead what EA really meant is that the mass library of games they've published are all high quality (it doesn't mean they're NOT unmatchable).
*Sigh, with titles like these, I WILL START MY OWN GAMING BLOG SOON.

I thought that the renaissance of EA started in 2004 with James Bond: Everything or nothing, Burnout 3 and then, in 2005, Need for speed: most wanted. You might say that the first game was very linear but the production values were still pretty good.

EA are lightyears behind Crytek and Sony's In-house Devs.
I don't think much of EA's games at all, the just standard at best.
