The Blog for the Sports Gamer

Wow the EA Conference Call had some real gems…taken from Kotaku:

“Preorders are down for EA Sports titles, the company said during its quarterly call to investors. CEO John Riccitiello and EA Sports honcho Peter Moore were discussing how they expected Electronic Arts’ sports portfolio to perform in the year, and both seemed to say that prejudging a game’s performance by the number of its preorders might be a relic of another time.”

Yeah, because it sure wouldn’t have anything to do with the games sucking ass and gamers taking a ‘wait and see’ attitude, would it?

“Quality…that’s up,” Riccitiello said. “We expect this trend to continue as we launch the rest of our sports slate… Madden is looking particularly strong.”

OMG, don’t even go there. What a complete load of shit this is….

“A video game of this caliber teaches you how to play and teaches you to get better. i think its going to… be the kind of innovation that puts Madden back on top after a few years. Because it’s sort of an open door, versus a velvet rope over the door, to get into the franchise.”"

On top of what? Other NFL licensed football games? All none of them?

Seriously, I’ve heard better lies from the Iraqi Foreign Minister.
