EA backs Wayne Rooney

Video games publisher EA says that Manchester United and England football star Wayne Rooney will continue to represent the EA Sports brand.

The Sunday Mirror claimed yesterday that the sportsman, who is the cover star of the UK version of FIFA 11, had a string of encounters with a prostitute while his famous wife Coleen was pregnant with the pair’s child.

no need for the press and media to get into personal matters of others

all this gossip makes me think about how sad another's life is

Venatus-Deus4985d ago

He's 24, earns £100k a week and plays for England. Nothing sad about his life.

Brewski0074985d ago

Well WAGs are essentially glorified hookers also so I really dont think that his wife will be too distraught.
Footballers like him dont deserve near as much as what he's on. He's a good footballer but they're all over-paid and act like spoiled brats when shit dont go their way.

England? pfft! I gave up on England when they took Upson, Carragher over 2 time Champions league winner Wes Brown. Not to mention playing won nothing Barry over Carrick!

Yi-Long4985d ago

... we don't. So we don't really care all that much if Rooney or Tiger Woods or Kobe Bryant are cheating on their rich golddiger-wifes.

We just care about if the game is good or not.

That said, it would be nice if the EA website would just allow everyone to easily create their own custom game-sleeve, so they can print that out and use it instead of the original one.

acky14985d ago

Why is his wife Coleen described as "his famous wife Coleen"? She is only famous because of Rooney, that is not fame.

To be fair, he has to find ways of getting rid of all that dosh and what better way than giving it straight into the hands of the less fortunate... for a service of course.

ie: the gossipers life ;)

"I gave up on England when they took Upson, Carragher over 2 time Champions league winner Wes Brown. Not to mention playing won nothing Barry over Carrick!"

Just because players have won the Champs league doesn't highlight that players individual talent...It IS a team effort after all..

Wes Brown is shit and Barry is better than Carrick. Are you a typical Manure fan where their players are better than anyone elses? oh and not to mention EVEN FROM MANCHESTER like most of their glory hunting fans aren't.

zootang4985d ago

@Squelchy

Barry better than Carrick?! Carrick passed us into the Champions League final 2 years running. What has Barry done for City? lol. Oh yeah thats right, they couldn't even get into the top 4. IMO Huddlestone is better than Barry. Look where Tottenham ended up last year, top 4! You need a quality midfield to do that, Barry is not a quality midfielder.

Wes Brown, trained and played with the likes of Stam, Ferdinand, Vidic and Laurent Blanc who all rate him. So I am to believe you over some of the best Centre Backs ever? lol.

Say what you want about Man Utd fans, it just makes you look bitter. A fan is a fan! BTW Manchester Born and Bred, lol. (check my post history I'm proud to be a Manc!)

Tomdc4985d ago

Glorified hookers? Who the hell do you think you are?! Coleen and Rooney are childhood sweethearts and she made a great career for herself in business that had nought to do with Rooney.

I'd say your more of a hooker cos your intelligence levels are clearly in line with one.

steviebhoy4985d ago

Rooonney rooney rooney, i thought if you were a top footballer, you had girls flinging themselves at you, but not our wayne he pays 1200 quid for it, but by god the boy can play.

DelbertGrady4985d ago

He's such a whoremonger. The new Gazza. When he was 16 he paid to have sex with a 48 year old granny. Not to anyones surprise. F*ckin knacker lol.

NBA Jam ? w00t 0_o Thankfully I don't buy any sports games. I hope they are talking about NBA Jam disc based version not the On fire downloadable one

DOMination-4156d ago

I can understand the need to shut down servers. But doing it for games that only came out last year is a bit ridiculous.

I normally try and defend EA on here because I don't think they are as bad as many people make them out to be but but this would annoy me if I owned any of these games.

"EA Sports Server Shutdowns"

... and that is why I don't buy EA sports games.

RAYMEISTER4156d ago (Edited 4156d ago )

They're probably following 2k's lead. 2k has already shut down nba 2k12 servers. Which means the average life expectancy u can get from playing nba 2k13 (if u were to buy it now) would be about 10 months. Don't expect to play online longer than that. That means there product is a NO buy for me. If they offered LAN option on the pc side u could always use Tunngle to play online, but they don't so there's no way to play online.

torchic4156d ago

wow they shut down 2K12 servers already???

at least EA gives people 2-3 years to play online, wow. nobody can complain about EA now

and to be fair to EA they shut servers down based on what percentage of people still play online. I remember them saying that they shut servers down which make up less than 1% of traffic across all EA servers, at least that's what they say.

brish4156d ago

"nobody can complain about EA now"
- torchic

Yes we can. 2k sports are also on my "no buy" list.

Dark5tar14156d ago

They better not mean On Fire Edition.

Dark5tar14156d ago

"The decision to retire older EA titles is never easy." That's also what they said when they shut down the servers for BF2: MC.

NicSage4156d ago

I think maybe with the release of pay for your own server on BF3 this is what EA might continue to use for all games giving an option for people who want to play it online.

I'm so sick of EA and all the BS, i'm sick of a lot of publishers anymore.
