Sports game enthusiast Jamie Presland believes football, golf and even snooker simulators offer “escapism at its best” – but feels they are overlooked and under-valued by many in the gaming community. Here, he asks why.
EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.
Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.
EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.
What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.
"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."
Yep, EA is disgusting.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
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!"
No idea, Tiger woods golf is one of the most played games in my house for the past 12 years. Can't wait for the next one.
I dont like real golf. Love football but hate footy games.
Go figure.
I think most people will have a FIFA, Madden or a Tiger Woods sat on their shelf at home, which is where the problem lies. Why pay full price every year when you already have one? Although they do drop in price dramatically quite quick.
I can perfectly understand that the super fans are going to want new rosters, but most people aren't going to be swayed by minor updates. I'm talking sports games here, so don't start shouting CoD at me.
They're pretty much what call of duty is.
And they sell 17431661344614364 copies for each minor stats update.
Sports games are valued, people just aren't stupid enough to buy the same game every year.
If they actually bring some major changes to FIFA I might give it another try, until then I'll just hold on on my copy of FIFA 10.
I love the FIFA games and lately they have been getting better every year and also play differently.
When it comes to basketball and football I always preferred the 2k games. Hockey is back and forth between ea and 2k.
Madden is the one I won't purchase every year because the changes are minimal because they have no competition.
I can't wait for the new FIFA street.
I have to say I enjoy these games way more when playing with buddies and setting up a few tournaments and have a few beers ;)
