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.
