  • FIFA 12 In-Game Instruction Manual
    FIFA 12 In-Game Instruction Manual If you purchased a copy of FIFA 12, you probably noticed EA Sports left out the basic instruction manual for the first time ever. EA Sports has gone green! Goodbye printed instructions manuals forever. Here’s is the latest FIFA 12 manual, word for word. Precision Dribbling Precision Dribbling brings an unprecedented level of control to your dribbling by giving you the ability to move the ball with ultra responsive touches. Use Precision Dribbling to keep possession of the ball when close to the sidelines or goal and beat defenders when in traffic or tight spaces. Precision Dribbling is automatically activated when the situation requires a soft touch. To manually activate Precision Dribbling, hold LB while dribbling. Be aware of your situation, and utilize Precision Dribbling to bring your game to the next level. To view all the Gameplay Controls in FIFA 12 go to the in-game controls screen at Customise FIFA -> Settings -> Controls -> Button Help. Tactical Defending Push and Pull When in a shoulder to shoulder challenge, Press B to use a standing tackle to knock them off balance with a shoulder challenge or a small thug. Be careful when you use standing tackles as a mistimed tackle can put you out of position. Contain Contain positions a defender in front of an attacker, but allows you to decide when the best time to launch a tackle is. “Teammate Contain” allows you to call a teammate to mark the dribller, but they will only launch a tackle when the opportunity is right.

    Page 1 EBM Assignment Three: Nine Elements of Business Models EA Sports FIFA Fernando Ortenblad Sigaud Full Sail University Entertainment Business Models 02/18/2018 Page 2 Why I choose this company: I decided to select EA Sports FIFA due to two factors, first because video game have always been important to me, since my ten years old, when my parents gave me my first video game and I started to play FIFA. It is a realistic soccer simulator that immerses you inside the day by day of a professional soccer team. With the advance of technology, FIFA has become a fantastic game, where nowadays you can control your favorite player or team, or even create a brand new team and compete against people from over the world. Second, because of the video game industry, that has drastically increased over the years, where companies are always searching for new talents, especially in Brazil, that is lacking in good professionals. Even that my career goal is to work in the live music events industry, as an entertainment business student is essential to understand all entertainment areas, especially video games. By analyzing EA Sports FIFA this month, I am going to learn about a successful business model and understand how a powerful conglomerate like Electronic Arts operates and maximize his profits every year. EA Sports FIFA Background Information: EA Sports FIFA is a video game franchise that simulates soccer, created in 1993 by the name of FIFA International Soccer. Making an incredible success because it was the first soccer video game to have a license from FIFA (Federation of International Football Association), the entity responsible to regulates soccer and for several tournaments and soccer events around the world (FIFA.com, 2017).

  • Electronic Arts Brings 'Madden' to Facebook 31 August 2010
    Electronic Arts brings 'Madden' to Facebook 31 August 2010 (AP) -- Electronic Arts is bringing its popular "Madden" football game to Facebook. "Madden NFL Superstars" launches as a free application Tuesday. The game lets players create fantasy teams featuring more than 1,500 current NFL players from this year's team rosters. The fantasy teams compete with one another on Facebook. Or, they can play against fantasy versions of the season's actual NFL teams. Electronic Arts Inc. plans to make money from the game by letting players pay nominal amounts of money for better players and other game content. Those microtransactions are expected to add up, though the majority of players are expected to play the game without paying a dime. "NFL Superstars," which comes a week before the football season kicks off, follows EA's "FIFA Superstars" soccer game for Facebook. That game has about 4 million players. EA Sports President Peter Moore said the idea is to bring "Madden" to a broader audience beyond the fans of the console version, which sells about 5 million to 6 million units each year and can be complicated to play. "NFL Superstars" was created by EA Sports and Playfish, the social game company EA bought last year for $275 million. ©2010 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
