Guys, welcome back.

Commentary for you, man.

When did you think we were going to see these two logos together?

I never, ever thought this would happen.

And here's the thing a lot of people look to the last year and they said, This isn't two K being honest.

This is a guy that's known to have issues in putting out proper information.

The reality is, this took place.

Okay, E.

A.

Is actually responding to this.

That validates it to me.

All that I need to know.

I want to look at this.

Release the interesting things here for me.

A sports EA Sports is the exclusive publisher of NFL simulation games.

That's what they lead with.

I'm glad, because now every video in my catalog is now validated in looking at simulation football in our partnership with the NFL on NFL, Pierre remains unchanged. 00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:5.920 Our agreements have always allowed for non exclusive development of non simulation games on various platforms are committed. 00:01:5.920 --> 00:01:11.440 The NFL fans with spends almost 30 years has never been stronger, and we're having our biggest year yet.

Hold that energy for just a moment.

Madden NFL 20 is the most successful game ever in the franchise again.

Hold that.

Just just a moment, please.

And new modes like superstar K O in Madden NFL EA sports broadcast or growing the fan base were building on that mo mentum with Maur new and different experiences on platforms and new ways to play in the years to come.

I'm glad they said all that I really am, because if they were focused on simulation football in their franchise modes, they wouldn't have to create new experiences.

Instead, when they talk about the most successful year, this is the reality.

322nd negative reviews, a 1.6 user score.

That's what they define their biggest, your most successful year, as that's a concern.

That's why two K coming back as a concern for E.

A.

That's why they have to get in front of it. 00:01:59.530 --> 00:02:1.900 To be fair, let me give you some more free advice. 00:02:1.900 --> 00:02:4.000 See, I'm always good with free advice in your games. 00:02:4.140 --> 00:02:10.720 What you should have done is came out and propped up the game on what you claim it to be simulation football.

Why didn't you talk about X factors and superstar players that you've put into the game to help create and replicate the NFL experience in ways that had never been seen before.

Why don't you come out and talk about inserting Legends Player Sue Ultimate team to bridge the gap between young fans and Hall of Fame players?

Instead, you talk about superstar K o mode.

That's where you guys lose your consumer.

You talk about one thing with simulation football, and you do the other with game modes that don't speak to that superstar.

K mode has non NFL players in it.

Why would you even mention that in a press release?

Essentially, what you're saying is what a lot of people already knew. 00:02:55.640 --> 00:03:0.750 Anybody could use the NFL license for educational games and things along those lines. 00:03:2.540 --> 00:03:11.980 But what you don't tell them is, hey, what we're doing with hip hop artists, musicians and superstar kale mode anyone could do.

Anyone could make superstar K o mode in Madden.

You're actually working against yourself and saying Hey, what we're doing anyone could have been doing, but we just have the exclusivity license to proper game upon, and that, to me, shows a big culture problem with E A.

And I know this isn't going to be probably what we all expected to be.

Nothing's gonna take down the agreement e a.

And then if I haven't placed, there's just too much money.

But I promise you, if I can look at that fresh release in a few minutes and determine where they're headed with this game and know that it's the wrong direction, then there's people at the NFL office is that can. 00:03:49.260 --> 00:04:1.250 And when people finally look now and they have to see between these two gaming companies who's putting out better products, that 1.6 user score at a time where A is telling the public, Hey, this is the best game. 00:04:1.360 --> 00:04:5.450 This is the biggest year that's gonna create some really, really problems for them. 00:04:5.700 --> 00:04:9.250 Those are some things you can't get away from with your investors.

Those are things you can't get away from with the media.

They hit it very well because the fans outcry hasn't been hurt a whole lot.

But those days could very well change based on e a propositioning themselves the way that they have love to know your thoughts on this.
