It seems that Electronic Arts does not plan to abandon aggressive monetization in its sports simulators. Despite the recent scandal with EA Sports College Football 27, where after a wave of criticism developers had to remove the paid accelerators of progress, in the coming Madden 27 the situation will be different.
According to insiders, there will be even more opportunities in "Superstar" single-player mode to spend real money to accelerate the project. Internal sources note that EA is aware of the risk of a new wave of discontent, but this time it does not intend to change its strategy "on the fly". Companies emphasize that they are seeking more transparent communication to avoid the effect of surprise, but the drive to increase revenues remains a priority.
Such a policy, it is rumored, may be due to domestic pressure in the face of talk about selling the company to a Saudi investment fund. At EA, we believe that even if fans are back on the social media war trail, the company will not bow to every trend as it did with university football.
