While EA doesn’t do a lot I like, it’s not like the current series is any good at all. So… wait and see!

Community creations would really be the thing I'd be worried about.

Wouldn't this cause a bit of a clash with the UFC franchise they already have?
Knowing EA, you'd end up with two pretty lazy, very similar, microtransactionfull games....

I see this as a lateral move. EA and Take Two are the worst offenders for microtransactions and other predatory bullshit in their sports games. So I can't see anything getting better, but it's also hard to see it getting much worse.

So I can't see anything getting better, but it's also hard to see it getting much worse. Also, like…who else is going to get the license? Who could really afford the potential price WWE would ask for? Because as much as it would bring a lot of energy to give it to, say, a smaller indie developer who’d want to take advantage of the universe of WWE so to speak, that just ain’t happening. Unless we go full circle and THQNordic gets it. They have everything else from THQ’s prime years so why not?

Also while this was well over 20 years ago, the last wrestling games EA made were WCW Mayhem and the infamous WCW Backstage Assault.

The series needs SOME kind of proper shake up. Like, about the only fairly well reviewed instalment in the past decade was 2k19, and that wasn't rush-out-and-buy blow away.

THQ was making the UFC Undisputed series while still making the WWE series. And that worked out so well... The Undisputed series was fantastic, especially the 3rd. And I’d argue that WWE 13 is the best of the PS3/360 era, so yeah it worked out great until the company itself went bankrupt due to reasons not related to WWE or UFC

THQ was making the UFC Undisputed series while still making the WWE series. And that worked out so well... EA is a massive corporation that owns several smaller studios in its sports division alone. It's not like they're lacking for manpower or anything. If this goes through, it's very likely that UFC and WWE games will be made by entirely different studios (or entirely different teams within the same studio). Not like there's a conflict of interest, either. That's like saying there's a clash with EA making Madden and FIFA games, which are their two biggest sports franchises.

Yeah, like, don't get me wrong. EA is awful. But it's hard to see them doing anything with the WWE games that Take Two doesn't do already with WWE2k. At the very least, a change in publisher and development studios could be a fresh of breath air. Or it could be a complete disaster if EA's attempts to get back into basketball games is anything to go by.

DLC is gonna be expansion packs, game packs, stuff packs AND kits which are glitched out and won't be patched for years.

I`m pretty sure at this point WWE would demand yearly releases anyway, no matter the company.
Not saying its a good thing its EA but I dont think it would be good in any company.
