EA Sports’ brand VP on the split with FIFA
Speaking to The Mirror, EA Sports’ brand VP David Jackson recently said he believed the company’s decision to split with FIFA would allow it to innovate more than has been the case in the past.
New experiences for players
“EA Sports FC is our future vision,” the exec said. “I think we’ve done a very good job and had a great relationship over time with the FIFA organisation, but now’s the right time for us to set a new path and chart our own path forward, be able to meet players expectations where they are, and we feel we can do that best through the lens of our own platform.”
Exciting rebranding
Explicitly asked why fans should be excited about what on the surface appears to be a simple rebranding, Jackson claimed that breaking away from FIFA would lead to “new and engaging experiences” for players.
