EA's new press release for their Fiscal Year 14 Q1 has revealed many new pieces of information and this includes info on their top-selling sports game, FIFA.
Video games -- particularly AAA video games -- have become too expensive to make. The intel from every fly on the wall in every investor's room is there is an increasing level of caution about spending hundreds of millions just to release a single video game. And you can't blame them. Many AAA game budgets mean that you can print hundreds of millions in revenue, and not even turn a profit. If you are an investor, quite frankly, there are many easier ways to make a buck. AAA games have always been expensive to make though, but when did we go from expensive, to too expensive? A decade ago, AAA games were still expensive to make, but fears of "sustainability" didn't keep every CEO up at night. Consumer expectations and demands no doubt play a role in this, but more and more games are also revealing obvious signs of resource mismanagement, evident by development teams and budgets spiraling out of control with sometimes nothing substantial to show for it.

Have you ever noticed how quiet the Automatons can be in Helldivers 2? That is exactly why some players are calling for audio cues for heavier foes.
What? EA are taking us for granted. I bet if Konami were the ones getting 70m they'd have evolved PES by now. Fifa is just transfers. I wanna try PES this year if they get rid of jon champion. He's too boring. If I can pick a commentary team I'd pick Derek Ray and Tommy smith (ESPN)
If they make 70m dollars you would of thought they would care more about their customers
well with all that Money hopefully FIFA14 on PS4 will blow my mind.
deep create a character. (deepest ever please?)
Create a team?
Move a Franchise?
