Medal of Honor, NBA Jam, Hot Pursuit, and SSX have all gotten the reboot treatment lately. Which other games from EA’s vaults deserve a second (or in some cases, third or fourth) chance? Here are five of GameZone's personal favorites.
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 doesn't make sense.
Every time someone does a reboot most people criticizes. Either it's not good enough, it's too different, it's being developed by someone else, it's DIFFERENT!
Some would say that people don't know what a reboot it and expect something else, I have to agree tho. Expectations = disappointments.
I would like a new mercenaries game. Mercs 2 was actually quite fun.
I loved Def Jam Fight for NY. That game was incredibly addictive. My buddies and I always had a blast with it. I can't imagine if they had that fighting formula with the multiplayer online we have today.
Then Def Jam Icon was a serious kick in the nuts. I'd consider it one of my most disappointing sequels ever created. I couldn't even believe how badly they'd ruined one of my favorite games at the time. Thanks for reminding me of what a let down that was. I'd give Def Jam another try, but only if they go back to the way it was in Fight for NY.
edit: Just finished the article and thanks for reminding me of another game that went down the drain. NBA Street. Simple, fun, and addictive. Thanks for killing that franchise EA.
Mercenaries 1 was so much better than Mercenaries 2. I spent so much time with that game.
how about they reboot Madden and actually spend some money to make proper yearly installments instead of roster updates
