EA Sports and the NFL "still have a number of years left on our agreements" to exclusively develop and publish video games, EA CEO Andrew Wilson told investors. "We have a number of games in development with the NFL" license, he added. Reports had suggested EA's license to make NFL games would expire this year.

EA continues to roll out fixes for Battlefield 4 on all platforms. Along with a slew of specific problems—like the "friendly marker not always showing when needed to, resulting in players shooting team members"—the latest batch of patches promises to improve the general stability of the game across the board.

After a "first draft" that put the brakes on most anything interesting, SimCity has published its policy on mods. It means they'll allow some building re-skinning and creation, like this rail station. No changes to gameplay. As for an offline mode? "We are still exploring" that, which is what they said in October, too.
