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.

FYI, the first trailer/info for UFC 3 was in November 2017 and the game was released in January 2018.

EA could wait until April to release info and still be on track to release it in June (the month they released UFC 1).

If they wait until the end of the year, I'm worried that it will get lost in all the next gen hype unless its a next gen game.

Re: POSSIBLE Release Date Info Tomorrow (1/30)

I basically agree to all of ^^ this, but one thing that people dont know or dont remember is that backwards compability is a big thing on next gen. Its already a big thing on xbox but in the future Sony is planning to bring backwards compability to PS 5 that allows us to play ALL games from all existing playstations of the past, on PS 5.

So business wise it would be a coup to bring the newest and probably best MMA game to date (fingers crossed) onto 2 existing console generations that'd be a smart move for a gaming company. Release it on ps 4 and make it backwards compatible for a console that will not have many games on release.

EA actually has to do it, since all EA Sports games usually go into the store 2 months before the ps 5 drops, which is holiday Nov. 2020 ( ps 5 could also be delayed so who knows). End of August/September NBA/FIFA/MADDEN. So EA has 2 options here: EA releases no games for ps 4 in august/September, which we already know isnt going to happen. Or they bring extra versions of it which is also unlikely, since next gen is all about backwards compability. So one and a half year without EA Sports games would be the end of EA Sports. Period.

Im eager to get news, even if that means that there wont be a release date for another couple months.... Keep the date a secret.... But man give us news already.

I have been guessing they will start giving info just before the Tony vs Khabib fight to show off a new grappling system.

Nope. I dont think so... simply because Israel Adesanya is the biggest fish in the tank. Conor still sells no questions axed but Israel is going to be on the cover. 100%. I would bet my left egg on it.

Khabib just isnt the one to be put on the cover. Thats just reality regardless of his beast level 28-0 record. Before UFC 248 Adesanya vs Romero is my guess for a June/July release.

This was my reaction when I finally got to the photo shoot part:

Right, is just that i don't see that kind of "regular" photo shoot often. I mean two different champions, different genders, with their respective belts and everything is somehow "regular"? I figured the cover would perhaps be established faces from from mens and female division (like in UFC 2).

Re: POSSIBLE Release Date Info Tomorrow (1/30)

Did you guys notice they recently took out colbys switch kick from ufc 3. I remember being able to swutch kick with him 3 weeks ago or 2. Not no more though. What Could this mean? Or am i looking to much into it.
