I doubt EA is worried about losing the license to 2k or anyone. WME doesn’t really give a **** who owns the ufc video game license as long as they get the highest dollar amount for a license fee.

If EA wants to renew the license, I don’t think anyone is going to outbid them.

It could be but EA has never stated that they were only releasing 4 sports games this year.

Found this on reddit that might be worth a look.
It focuses on FIFA. But breaks down investors view on EA.

"EA had/has strong plans to make Apex Legends into a core franchise. They actually gave Respawn (Apex Legends Studio) the ability to pull developers from the DICE team (Battlefield), EA Vancouver (Sports), and EA Shanghai to provide additional developer resources and help with content creation"

"On Packs/Loot Boxes: Investors are seriously concerned about the impact of government regulation surrounding loot boxes.

Loss of Licensing For Key IP: This is by far the one thing that EA cannot lose. Investors did not see Juventus switching their licensing, and made them aware that this is a possibility in the future for more teams."

Some numbers for you all to digest:

*As of 2019/20

75% of players who purchase FIFA play FUT

3M daily users during TOTS. Highest for FIFA19
Player base has increased 15%
In game matches up 30%
75% of the games sale price goes to licensing"

"All of the questions from the analysts have nothing to do with servers, game issues, or communication - more so it’s about profit generation."

Every day that passes I become less and less confident this game will be released any earlier than Q4 this year at minimum. I mean they have released absolutely zero info about this game. Everyone knows EA loves to get the hype train going for games and the fact that we have yet to see even the most minuscule of info is a pretty good indicator they are taking their time with this release.

I have no doubt the game is coming I just thinking people are going to be waiting longer than anyone expected

If EA is taking more time to create a more polished game this time around, im all for it. Lets just be patient.
