It would be cool to see Japan's J-League in FIFA, but Konami has the license.

FlashXIII4438d ago

After Euro 2012 add on I can safely say I wouldn't want to see more DLC like this again.. an absolute ripoff at it's current pricing.

thetamer4438d ago

I kinda agree, but to be honest, it's better than paying full price for a boxed game with half as many features. I'm hoping there's scope here...

EA Hiring Ex-Military Personnel to Help Build Next Battlefield Game via "Hiring Our Heroes" Program

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.

This would be nice but that team has tossed out the finals and has arc raiders on the back burner

20 thousand still play the final's

Why get slapped around by ea when you already have something going on.

What the next battlefield needs is a step back simple functional not a live service and smaller player servers than 2042. Just make it like battlefiled 3 with bad company destruction just something simple

But they already killed off ridgeline games that had ex halo/cod devs so no singleplayer unless they make another dev team for it.

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.

just_looken4d ago

Older ps3 battlefield titles did the same even went to the range to get sound files.

But all these titles we are talking about were on the ps3 a console so powerful it offered free mp and games did not need 4 levels of payment plans even more crazy was the player size of mag's games.

A return to the golden age of Battlefield seems so far away now

Str8Chaos744d ago

Sadly I think you are correct. They just don’t get it. They will do their live service game with its Battle Royale and fail at both.I hate being so negative, but I have little faith in EA at this point.

I truly hope so.. day one buy

Ninver24d ago

Time for a change. Football games haven't evolved much.

Cacabunga24d ago

It’s tough when there is no competition

Abear2124d ago

There’s PES and now we’ll have FC25 and FIFA so yes, but it is no longer true, shit is about to get real!

Now if we only had two viable options for Basketball and American football we’d be on to something.

MrNinosan24d ago

@Abear21
PES didn't exist since 2020, and the rebranded eFootball is crap.

porkChop24d ago

If what we've heard is true, the reason FIFA games don't change is literally because of FIFA itself rejecting nearly every pitch for new features and mechanics.

anast24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

The barber shop and roulette wheel are going to be awesome.

Abear2124d ago

Pay to win is the new free to play

CrimsonWing6924d ago (Edited 24d ago )

It’ll be monetized to all hell, regardless

StormSnooper24d ago (Edited 24d ago )

Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

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 can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath233d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger32d ago (Edited 32d ago )

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.
