Despite having an astonishing numbers in sales, one fan is less than impressed with EA Sports’ latest iteration of the Madden NFL franchise.
EA is laying off an unknown number of individuals from across its Battlefield teams, including workers at Criterion, Dice, Ripple Effect, and Motive Studios, IGN understands.

When logic meets EA it generates anti-matter ..... so try not to apply it in any meaningful way. Entropy is what matters in there !!
cue the apologist saying that these are mostly just contractors hired for this specific project bla bla bla
The free-to-play reboot topped 15 million players in under three weeks, but EA now claims it needs to reshape the development team.
The community warned them this would happen but nope they knew better they continued with the live service push the made the art style cartoonish and this is the result
It's always so bizarre when studios announce something super early in development under the suggestion of forming the game to player feedback, and then they push against all feedback heading straight for the cliff while everyone is warning them along the way
The Congressional Labor Caucus sent a letter to the FTC warning the debt-financed, largely PIF-owned deal could be bad news for workers
lol ya think? they're sending all that work to the cheaper labor market as soon as possible. and FYI, that labor market has exploded in the last 5-10 years. They have enough people to replace every single job. But honestly, EA is over filled with useless upper management as it is. You could probably trim 25% of their staff with no real loss in production. They aren't gamers, they're business execs. Just look at how many AI related jobs they're already starting to post. Its also hilarious that PIF owns Battle field 6
Wait,
The same congress that attacked Lina Khan when she fought the Microsoft Activision purchase.
The same congress that allowed Disney to buy 90% of Fox
The same congress that allowed Liv Golf to buy the PGA
The same congress that sits back while Paramount tries a hostile takeover despite losing the bid for Warner Bros.
NOW, the suddenly cares about doing what's "right" for works? Yeah, right.
EA now owned by The Saudis and Ubisoft to inevitably be owned by China. In hindsight, once EA and Ubisoft started having their financial woes, they should have pulled a Koei Tecmo/Bandai Namco by merging their operations into one.
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.
