The only downside to every this news program surrounding fresh sports games is that we're remote to see them properly until July, after the annual EA Play event was delayed by a month.

"On EA Play, I believe that typically, E3 governed the key subject matter time frame across most of the industry [and that] happened in June," says Wilson. "Given COVID and virtual marketing and the nature of these things, we've been able to think about what's the most appropriate timeline for us. And given the launch schedules in our games, we feel like July is the compensate time frame. You'll hear much from our build in June, and we'll kind of ramp-up to that July."
