EA has once again taken home the title of Worst Company in America, after winning a consumer poll posted by The Consumerist. The win came despite a heartfelt letter issued by EA COO Peter Moore over the weekend, which was countered by a Consumerist analysis which said consumers were tired of EA’s focus on “microtransactions, online passes” and asked it to prove the ire this year was brought on by the Madden cover athlete and conservative groups upset over the publisher’s support of LGBT issues.

FIFA 14 reveal happening this week – rumour

20130408_fifa_13

A report out of Spain claims EA Sports will show FIFA 14 to the press this week at an event in Madrid, with an embargo on details lifting on April 17. Assuming FIFA 14 releases sometime around September, as previous entires have, the timing seems plausible, so expect new details soon. All we’ve heard about the new entry to date is that it is “huge”, and will emphasise social features alongside traditional single-player modes; we’re not even sure if it’ll be current or next-gen.

Thanks, Lengendaryboss.

Madden NFL 25 cover voting now open

20121017_madden_nfl_13

This year’s Madden game is a bit special; rather than a yearly update, it celebrates the 25th anniversary of the franchise as a whole. EA Sports is looking for the perfect cover star to convey Madden 25′s emphasis on the history of the series, and as such, has opened fan voting on two brackets of new and classic players for your consideration. Votes can be cast through ESPN’s web portal or via live Twitter voting during SportsNation on Tuesday afternoons. Regular polls will run until April 24, and the first round of competition pits Curtis Martin against Jerome Bettis, and Von Miller against Victor Cruz. Madden NFL 25 hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in August.
