Electronic Arts,\u00a0<\/em>otherwise known as\u00a0EA, <\/em>has been making games\u00a0long before most\u00a0Fortnite<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>players were born. They are one of the biggest game developers to date. EA\u00a0<\/em>is\u00a0responsible for making some of the most memorable<\/a> games, and have even made quite the portfolio for themselves as a company.\u00a0EA\u00a0<\/em>makes all sorts of games, from action adventures to family games.<\/p>\n

Having made games for nearly 40 years, that’s enough to see some recurring themes in\u00a0EA’s\u00a0<\/em>products. While some themes have stuck for decades, others have just recently sprung up. With that being said, here are 10 classic signs of an\u00a0EA\u00a0<\/em>game.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Fun Gameplay<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As one of the most established game developers, EA has\u00a0mastered the art of fun gameplay whatever the genre. The\u00a0Sims<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is an addicting life simulator sandbox,\u00a0Titanfall<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is action-packed\u00a0& fast-paced, and even\u00a0Plants Vs Zombies<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is a tower defense game ahead of its time. Hours and hours in front of an EA-produced game will never draw any dull moments. Players feel in control of their in-game actions<\/a>, providing a glorious sense of achievement. EA’s gameplay mechanics are timeless with some older titles being as fun as today’s trends.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>At Least One Insanely Hard Level<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Accompanied by the fun gameplay is a level that everyone at some point will be stuck on. Regardless of players being on the easiest difficulty, EA games will have those levels that are quite the hurdle. In\u00a0Need For Speed<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>games, it seems as though later races will have every rival car incrementally faster than the players, making them rely on pure strategy and maneuvering skills. In\u00a0Plants Vs Zombies,\u00a0<\/em>there will be those levels that players will frustratingly try different methods to pass by. The same applies to their movie-based\u00a0Star Wars<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>titles. This provides a fun challenge<\/a> for gamers, making the journey fulfilling.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Space Bound Stories<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

EA seem to love space. Which is understandable since so much fun can only be confined on earth. Games such as\u00a0Anthem<\/a>, Dead Space<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Mass Effect\u00a0<\/em><\/a>take place across the galaxy. Even\u00a0Plants Vs Zombies 2\u00a0<\/em>had a futuristic space level.<\/p>\n

The narrative in space makes for great sci-fi games<\/a> and adds a layer of mystery with regards to exploration. The wonders of the galaxy allow EA to operate more creatively with their games, adding to the titles’ lovable gameplay.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Giant Mechs\u00a0& Advanced Tech<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Along with\u00a0a plot in space comes advanced tech in the form of plasma guns and\u00a0huge battle-ready mechs<\/a>. These things marry well with the gameplay of titles such as\u00a0Titanfall<\/em>\u00a0and Crysis<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>It gives a wide variety of combat abilities to players, making gameplay diverse. Adding to the giant mech element of EA games, armored tanks, bomber planes, and other vehicles can also be seen in the war inspired\u00a0Battlefield<\/em><\/a>\u00a0franchise.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Arcade Racing<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For\u00a0EA, vehicles are either destructive immovable behemoths or featherweight speeders. In EA’s\u00a0Need For Speed\u00a0<\/em>franchise, there’s simulated weight to cars. Controls are arcadey, and the race cars barely weigh anything. The same goes for some\u00a0Battlefield\u00a0<\/em>vehicles. When a vehicle is in an EA game, it’s almost certain that it has the agility of Usain Bolt and the weightlessness of Muhammad Ali. The arcade vehicle maneuvering<\/a> ties well with EA’s action games, making for some action-packed fun.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Family Friendly Titles<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The same company responsible for the brutal and gory\u00a0Dead Space\u00a0<\/em>are also the creators of the fun-for-everyone\u00a0Plants Vs Zombies\u00a0<\/em>games. Everyone can remember playing an EA game as a kid. Whether it be the\u00a0Need For Speed\u00a0<\/em>games of the 2000s or the earlier\u00a0Sims\u00a0<\/em>games, there was an EA game appropriate for all ages.<\/p>\n

Even now, EA still manages to pump out games that are loved by the family through their\u00a0Star Wars\u00a0<\/em>titles.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Sports-Based Titles<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

EA has a ton of sports-based games<\/a> based on the real-life\u00a0sports industry. Sports games under EA’s belt\u00a0include\u00a0FIFA<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>Madden<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0<\/em>UFC<\/a><\/em>. EA also prides itself with one of the most famous racing franchises of all time\u2013 Need For Speed.\u00a0<\/em>EA has gone\u00a0so far as to acquire the license to use official team names in their games. This ensures that EA caters to sports fans and gamers alike. EA invests a lot into their sports games, so much so that they branded that area of their game development as EA Sports.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Movie-Based Titles<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

EA has worked on a lot of games based on TV and film<\/a>. To name a few:\u00a0Simpsons<\/a>, Lord of the Rings<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>and of course,\u00a0Star Wars,\u00a0<\/em>which Disney gave EA the right to make video games out of. EA gives each of its movie-based titles the timeless feel of the film they’re based on. EA adds\u00a0a layer of gameplay to an already established movie franchise. This puts a lot of pressure on the game developing giant to not taint the franchise. With all this being said, it’s time to move on to what EA has been known for lately<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Microtransactions<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There is not a single gaming meme page out there that hasn’t poked fun at EA’s microtransactions<\/a>. Even for players who pay for the highest edition of the game, EA will still add content behind a paywall. The\u00a0Sims 4\u00a0<\/em>base game costs $50 but all the DLC amounts to more than $600.<\/p>\n

There’s also the unforgettable\u00a0Star Wars: Battlefront 2<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>pay-to-win system where certain characters are locked behind unrealistic achievements or a “small” price.\u00a0FIFA\u00a0<\/em>also shares this loot box system that would eventually be adopted by other game developers. As frustrating as this is for players, it rewards the company with more money.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Mixed Reception<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Anthem\u00a0<\/em>was a buggy mess,\u00a0Mass Effect: Andromeda\u00a0<\/em>felt half-baked, and\u00a0Battlefront 2 <\/em>had more microtransactions than\u00a0Bethesda had bugs.\u00a0Battlefront\u00a0<\/em>would eventually become the game symbolic of microtransactions.\u00a0On top of that, other franchises such as\u00a0Need For Speed, FIFA,\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Madden\u00a0<\/em>produce games that aren’t too different from the previous\u00a0titles in their respective series.<\/p>\n

Though they were fun, they felt a lot like an annual cookie-cutter product. As EA focused more on ways to get money, a decline in quality was seen across their games. What was once a company that produced complete works of art would eventually release buggy messes on release, leading gamers to take the EA logo in a trailer with a grain of salt.<\/p>\n
