EA Aiming For The Casual Sports Gamer

Peter Moore gets it. When Facebreaker was announced, Fahey and I both reacted with glee—EA was taking a much need step back from simulation, offering sports games again at last. Now Moore explains that games like Facebreaker are just part of a newly focused EA:

There will be more announcements that will be, if you will, licensed intellectual property that will be looking at the more casual consumer that we see as a bigger force in the business...we think there's a different type of consumer that...doesn't want the authentic simulation game that we currently offer.

But developer Robin Walker's explanation of the art style is interesting nonetheless, especially since the look is so disparate from what was originally imagined.
The earliest version of TF2 that you guys never got to play was this ultra-realistic... it looked a lot like Counter-Strike to a large degree. We wanted to do all these things, but realism fought us every step of the way. In a realistic game it's hard to justify why everything isn't just a bullet or an explosive, because at the end of the day, that's what kills people in the real world...
