Despite having an astonishing numbers in sales, one fan is less than impressed with EA Sports’ latest iteration of the Madden NFL franchise.
Today Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson provided a look into his ideas for the use of generative AI in the company's development processes.
EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.
EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'
I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.
And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.
No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.
EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
Gareth, Justin, and JoeyZ look at Layoff news for EA and Sony and reasons behind the downturn in the industry and more.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson writes: "In this time of change, we expect these decisions to impact approximately 5 percent of our workforce. I understand this will create uncertainty and be challenging for many who have worked with such dedication and passion and have made important contributions to our company. While not every team will be impacted, this is the hardest part of these changes, and we have deeply considered every option to try and limit impacts to our teams. Our primary goal is to provide team members with opportunities to find new roles and paths to transition onto other projects. Where that’s not possible, we will support and work with each colleague with the utmost attention, care, and respect. Communicating these impacts has already begun and will be largely completed by early next quarter."
All the big ones doing the same stuff. Terrible. I just hope that all these people are able to get a new job as soon as possible, God know that it is horrible to be left jobless when you have your kids or your parents depending on your financial help
The point I feel is problematic about all of this is that focusing on Owned Ip means more sequels, remasters and more of what was selling last year.
This is what happens when you Monopolize the NFL. Every one knew EA was going to F&%K up the football game. I will not buy another NFL game until more publishers are allowed to create NFL games….Because NFL and NFLPA-- EA SUCKS and it’s a BS deal you gave them!!!!
People will bi**h no matter what. This years Madden is real nice. New tacklin engine is tight and works real well. Online is less laggy than years past as well it seems. How about people dont just type what they think if they havent played the actual game. OR...OR they arent very good at the game thus they hate on it. Im guessin its the latter. Lol
seen it, played it, its the same shit last year nothing much different. also that new engine is lackluster as shit and i expected alot better from the final product. well i didn't buy it so can't complain much. the only sports games that are have actual improvements are NBA 2K & MLB: The Show.
Didn't buy yet and I'm glad I didnt. I used to buy Maddden day one, but in recent yeras I have waited because it has been awful. I wait for used copies to ensure they don't get my money or pay full price for a roster update. the new engine is buggy as hell from what I saw on the demo.
2k got slammed for online on NBA2k and i found to be fine 95% of the time.
