Recently, Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson apparently ousted Microsoft’s sales during a conference call while discussing EA’s expectations of the next fiscal years, expectations of Microsoft and Sony performance, and what sold last year. Getting the following figures, however, required a bit of math and has not been confirmed as a solid number by either Microsoft or EA. Wilson stated that he expected “Microsoft and Sony to continue to be strong, with the installed base growing to 130 million consoles by the end of calendar 2018 from 103 million at the end of calendar 2017....

In an interview with Edge, former Microsoft big wig and current EA Sports president Peter Moore had some interesting things to say about graphics and their future place in the industry. Let’s take a look, shall we: Even though I think he is off in his assessment regarding additional media features, as consumers are voting with their dollars more and more for products that move closer and closer to becoming an all-encompassing media hub, it’s his statements regarding graphics that raise my eyebrows....

Working as an analyst for Fox Sports, van Basten used the term “sieg heil” on air after interviewing a German coach. The German phrase means “hail victory” but is notorious for its use at Nazi rallies.

EA Sports also took action by removing van Basten from its Ultimate Team series....

Game Rant’s Dwayne Holder reviews the Eagle Eye Converter In a world of first person shooters, the debate over which control method is better has been going strong for decades. PC purists swear by their mice and keyboards, while long-time console owners stand close to their controllers. Over time, peripherals have been invented to bring the accuracy of the keyboard/mouse combo to the consoles. These devices have come close, but many have yet to truly bring the PC FPS experience to a console....

Philadelphia has drafted exceptionally well in recent years, with DeVonta Smith and Jalen Hurts leading the charge. This year, it has the No. 10 overall pick (via trade with the Saints), along with its own first-, second- and third-rounders. While their own pick will be 29th or lower, it’s still good capital for a team that will look to reload this offseason and distance itself from its quickly advancing division rivals....

It’s evident from the moment that Sierra and The Odd Gentlemen’s E3 presentation starts. Korba is the creative director and lead writer for the upcoming King’s Quest reboot (when asked what he does on the game, Korba deadpans, “Everything.”), and his enthusiasm for the series is dangerously infectious. It’s not just the new game that he loves, either. Throughout the presentation, Korba drops obscure references to past King’s Quest titles....

The game, which is scheduled for release on March 6th. 2020, is set in London - a fact that had been one of gaming’s worst-kept secrets until today - in a potential future in which the country is taken over by a fascist regime. In what has to be not only the game’s signature mechanic but also gaming’s most “wait, how on earth are they going to do that?” mechanic since, well… since Peter Molyneaux promised a whole bunch of stuff for the Fable games....

FIFA players will still be able to purchase card packs with coins earned within the game, though it’s a tough grind to purchase packs. Even once players have them, the odds of getting valuable cards are certainly stacked against them - and that’s exactly why FIFA points have been such a great revenue generator for EA. Electronic Arts has made it clear that it still disagrees with Belgium regarding its stance on loot boxes equating to gambling:...

But, for Electronic Arts, Battlefield’s new run at dominating the FPS genre — it’s conscious effort to go for COD’s crown — this isn’t a blitzkrieg, it’s a war of attrition.According to EA’s European Publishing Senior Vice President Jens Uwe, Electronic Arts’ approach is very similar to what they recently did with FIFA. After Pro Evolution Soccer (formerly known as Winning Eleven) took the soccer crown from FIFA, it forced EA Sports to reevaluate their franchise, strive to do better, and then slowly whittle away at Pro Evolution’s sales dominance....

Not only have there been calls for the NFL license to be taken away from EA (a movement that quickly grew in popularity), but the game’s Metacritic page has been bombarded with negative reviews demanding that others don’t buy the game and have left it as one of the worst scoring games on the entire site.

Unfortunately, this past year saw not one but two sports lockouts that put the rosters of key virtual sports franchises in flux. Whilst the Eagles were acquiring some powerhouse talent, Madden fans were left wondering if a roster update would take place in time for launch. Thankfully, EA Sports was able to work that scenario out in Madden’s case, but where they have stumbled is with NBA Jam: On Fire Edition....

Investors were clearly worried about the publisher, as EA looked to be in serious trouble in the markets. The company’s stock nosedived to under $12 in 2012, and also suffered a severe drop of 28 points between July and December 2013 after a brief climb. The end result was turmoil behind the scenes, with the departure of CEO John Riccitiello, the closure of several departments including the acclaimed EA Partners project, and widespread layoffs....
