Electronic Arts' investor's meeting on Tuesday highlights this, even as Madden 21 coins matches such as Apex Legends hold powerful and the following Battlefield is postponed, the EA Sports catalogue is the attention for now. Its athletic backlog, including FIFA 20 and Madden NFL 20, sees new life by satisfying sports lovers' desire not only for the sports themselves, but the social aspect of sports, according to Blake Jorgensen, EA's chief finance officer and chief operating officer. FIFA 20 eclipsed 25 million exceptional players, aided by last fall's inclusion of this Volta mode. As for Madden, CEO Andrew Wilson called it a"cultural icon," which just had its greatest year ever thanks to, the CEO suggested, new modes added post-launch.

But at a time when sports are on hiatus due to the pandemic, both Jorgensen and Wilson worried that the future is unknown. "The biggest unknown for us is two things: The market [and] what's the consequence when the sports calendar does not start up at some time period," Jorgensen explained. He also pointed out that now the only way people are"getting their sports participation is through our games, and that's a huge benefit for us, but that which we don't know -- cause there's no precedent on this -- is what happens long-term if any of the sports seasons become delayed any further."

Wilson added that EA Sports titles' Ultimate Team manners haven't depended directly on real-world sports and instead have driven engagement with in-game events completely of their invention, keeping fans. "I actually feel that there's an opportunity for us to do this for players if sports are delayed or don't make it back this year." However, COVID-19 wasn't the elephant in the room for the EA Sports banner as 2K NFL game looms over Madden's legacy. "We look forward to creating NFL games for many years to come," he said, appearing to shut down any speculation as to if the EA and NFL connection is coming to its end.

As for EA's troubled NBA series, that has spent the last ten years alternating between launching in disarray, getting delayed, or taking off a year, Wilson said, reluctantly,"we have nothing more to announce in this moment, but cheap Mut 21 coins we have a fantastic relationship with the NBA." Overall, EA is performing better than expected, actually outpacing its projections across metrics and noting the closing of retail stores hasn't affected sales. The call was coloured throughout with optimism as the world continues to deal with the pandemic.
