My Rankings of Upcoming EA Sports Games

Well, I'm a marketing manager. One of my jobs is to be a prophet and predict how things are going to do, before they are released. So, before any of the "Core" EA Sports games come out I wanted to put my predictions online here.

#1 FIFA 12 -- to me it added the biggest gameplay changes that should push the game to that next level and break that stale feeling that was starting to set in with the current engine. I wish, I had another week or so before these predictions. If EA does anything about making Franchise/Be a Pro mode better this is going to be a monster hit in terms of sales and meta critic rating.

#2 NHL 12 -- I think this game is getting the same love that FIFA 12 is getting in terms of gameplay changes. Again, they need to work on the Franchise and Be a Pro modes, but it seems like they are doing that. Why is that these two key franchises consitantly seem to get updated with "game changing" enchancements? I think the sales will be solide and the meta critic rating will go up.

#3 Madden -- Franchise changes are big, but I'm guessing the gameplay hasn't changed much. I guess the presentation is better, but I have to see it to believe it. I think it will be another average year for madden in terms of meta critic and sales expecations.

#4 NCAA -- by the feel of the site, most people aren't giving NCAA the love of last year. I think it will be a solid year for NCAA, but in terms of score improvement and sales improvement I look for it to be the same as last year. Me personally, I'm so pumped for the Road to Glory mode. I think that is going to get me hooked big time.

Games I want rank.

#1 FIFA 12
#2 NCAA
#3 NHL
#4 Madden
