Talk:EA Sports

POV?
"When someone talks about a sports game, someone thinks of EA Sports." Seems dramatically POV....perhaps a line on how EA sports has had a large impact on teh sports game genre? Lyellin 09:29, Jan 3, 2004 (UTC)

ea logo
the logo needs to be updated.

Grammar template
I added this, as the Exclusivity deals section in particular is practically unreadable at the moment with unattributed quotes and out-of-context sentances amongst other things. For starters take "In 2003 EA purchased the license to NASCAR, ending competition from Papyrus and Infogrames.EA Secures Exclusive Rights to NASCAR Game Development Through 2009. Electronic Arts announced an exclusive relationship with NASCAR for worldwide rights to develop, publish and distribute NASCAR-branded interactive racing games through 2009." What is the purpose of the bit I've highlighted in bold? I'm not familiar enough with the subject to fix this. Alexj2002 15:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Exclusivity Section
NPOV issue - specifically the "lazy" reference at the end. Could be changed to reflect a measured decrease in releases, new features per release, etc. Yte0012 (talk) 18:38, 11 December 2007 (UTC) In a recent interview for ps3 magazine Peter Moore hinted at a Rugby & Cricket game coming soon to Next-Gen Consoles. He said,"Stay tuned for Rugby and Cricket debuting on PS3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.75.180 (talk) 11:00, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

kabbadi
Someone keeps editing this page to say that EA is making a new game called EA Sports Kabbadi Champs. I have personally had to edit this twice, and wish to avoid an edit war. That said, with Ea's fan base in the United States and Kabbadi's base of Southeast Asia, I doubt we'd see a kabbadi game from EA SPorts. Could whoever is doing this please source their comments or stop vandalizing the page?71.183.211.135 (talk) 00:05, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Why the EASN Network name was dropped in 1993
It was because ESPN threatening EA of infringing their logo and name on their sports games, and can you add it's time as EA Sports Network and EA's forge into sports networks before EA Sports into the history section? https://books.google.com/books?id=tfTXAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA372&lpg=PA372&dq=EA+Sports+network+1993&source=bl&ots=M8dhvW-TS1&sig=ACfU3U2-jfmNQ9Qvpr-HotZogl2EaFhxtA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjUzO3n97ToAhVJGDQIHeSQC98Q6AEwGnoECAsQAQ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:2500:F000:4C2E:A6E9:3BC2:7D4A (talk) 05:59, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

Update the easports.com URL to ea.com/sports
EA seems to have changed their sports division to a subdirectory, so it would be fair if the website in the article was changed as well. Mintphin (talk) 08:16, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
