Speculation time: What are EA Sports' three new franchises?

Dustin Toms: I'll start this off with what everyone is thinking and hoping: NCAA Basketball. It has been too long without a college hoops game, and right now I think EA is taking advantage of a non-existent market. Hopefully, the company can pull through and deliver a solid title.

Jayson Young: Madden NFL and NCAA Football fill EA's simulation need, so the new rumored football franchise has to be an arcade game of some type.

Caley Roark: I agree with Jayson that an NFL Blitz or Street update seems like a likely candidate. Madden Arcade was a relatively enjoyable, yet shallow, game that would have legs if updated and expanded -- just pretend NFL Tour never existed.

Christian McLeod: My guesses are Mutant League Football, MVP (possibly named something else) and NFL Blitz.

Chris Sanner: What we need to do is carefully consider the sports with enough worldwide appeal to warrant a game. Those sports are tennis, rugby and cricket. However, there are other dark-horse candidates as well, but just remember EA Sports is a worldwide brand.

I would love to see them bring back College Baseball. I still play MVP College Baseball 06, and it would be a huge deal here in Omaha with the new stadium for the CWS finishing up this month.

College Hoops could be quite cool if they did it well. NFL Street coming back would definitely be cool.

What ever it is it's going to be arcadey because EA doesn't think realism can stand on it's own and bring in money.

I think it's going to be an NFL street-type game and two non-traditional sports.

CFL Game maybe?

JustinJones · 04-18-2011, 11:44 AM

I would buy NFL Street, but I love The Show so I would only buy a EA Baseball game if it was college.
