Fantasy football is played by millions of people all over the world and so is the Madden NFL series, so what happens when you mix them together and add in EA Sports unparalleled access to the legends of the game?
According to EA Sports, a whole new way to be a “playmaker.”
“This year, we’re introducing new ways for fans to Be the Playmaker both on and off the field,” Rex Dickson, the creative director for “Madden NFL 16” said. “It all starts with Draft Champions, which is Madden’s own unique take on fantasy football. You start with a base team, then you have 15 rounds to pick players to improve your squad. Each round you select from one of three guys, and the players offered are a mix of current stars and legends. Once you’ve picked a team, you can take the field in special events either against other drafted teams or against the CPU. Once you finish an event you draft a brand new team and restart the experience. It’s a great, quick way to play the game in a new way.”
EA has hired ex-military personnel in order to help shape the next Battlefield game as part of the Hiring Our Heroes (HOH) program.
Why don't you Hire Your Old Dev Team who brought us the brilliance of Battlefield Bad Company 2 while you're at it. It was more exciting than anything recent in the Battlefield series. It just needs to be updated to reach modern times, but it was so great at its core.
It's what made zipper and slant six awesome. They had military vets working for them, no just as consultants, but as developers as well. I wish Sony never closed them, MAG 2 or an update to MAG and a new socom is much needed.
EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).
There are no thoughtful ads in Video Games, EA. Leave them be.
I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.
But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.
EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.
One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.
