Released during the E3 press conference by EA in 2014, Madden 15
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.
Same tired a$$ graphics.
I guarantee you they still have three or four identical cameramen standing side by side in the back of the endzone with the same synchronized animations.
I also wouldn't be surprised if the one Aaron Rodgers looking ref is back for a third year in a row.
Madden needs a complete overhaul. The AI is so outdated and the game plays nothing like a true sim. They need to take a year off the series, which they won't because they'd lose 100's of millions of dollars, and rebuild the entire game to make a real sim. I have no clue how the NFL game license works, but I hope 2K or some studio out there can make a true NFL sim. This post is not meant to shit on EA. Making yearly sports games like this is not easy and it takes a lot of work, but NFL fans need something new.
madden QTE
to be honest the most rascist trailer ever, if you see it.
I don't know much about football but does anybody know which game had the best tackle animations or in-game animations in general?
I know Backbreaker had some good dynamic tackle animations but in ones opinion which game has the best physics and animations in football?
