Honestly could be worse for Super Mega fans. At least San Diego Studios didn't buy it then shelve it permanently like 2K playgrounds. But yeah, microtransactions and packs are incoming.

Seeing it from a positive view. It could be good for the franchise. If EA can get the MLB license, it'll bring in tons more casual baseball fans. I don't think MLB the Show has an exclusive license, so I'm sure EA can afford to get the MLB license. Plus with their brand and marketing, it can be more mainstream. With their resources, it'll allow them to be more ambitious.

The biggest thing is EA allowing Metalhead to have creative freedom. Don't force the Frostbite engine on them. High chance of microtransactions, but don't bleed that into their established modes.

Wonder if this bring other projects. I wouldn't mind seeing a Super Mega Football or Basketball.

It is indeed a great day for Metalhead Software ($$$), not so much for the fanbase of the game.

Yep, I feel the same. I am happy for Metalhead Software (they deserve every dollar they are getting!), but I am pessimistic about what EA will do to their product.
