PS3-Sense: If we look at the Expanded Information at GameStop we not only can see that FIFA 11 will contain a Goalkeeper system. It also contains custom soundtrack. This means you can listen to your favorite music while playing FIFA 11.
Online support for a number of 2010 EA Sports titles is set to end next month.
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
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.
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.
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.

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

Manager Mode
The staple of FIFA’s offline play. A considerably important feature for the FIFA video game franchise. Over the years it has had it’s ups and downs…plenty of downs. Here are a few:
This week, download select EA Sports games for $20 or less. Plus, you’ll get the same amount you spend back in promotional credit to buy more EA Sports Games. Customers who buy Fifa Soccer 2012 for $20 can get Fifa Manager 2012, Fifa Soccer 2011, and Fifa Soccer 2010 for free.
More games should include it more often
YouTube uploading would be great, too! I love how Just Cause 2 has it, and it would be great for big clans to record their ownage during tournaments in FPS games.
This was announced about a month ago. WTH?
WOW
