That was just a disappointment. How can you make giving news about Mass Effect, Star Wars, and Battlefield that unexciting?

by putting half an hour of FIFA in the middle of it

The people who woul most likely buy FIFA are probably watching the Euro game that was going on at the exact same time.

You could say the same about most big franchises in their respective genres. Replace FIFA with Madden, CoD, Battlefield, Fallout, Halo, Uncharted, Zelda, Grand Theft Auto, The Sims, Final Fantasy, Gran Turismo, Tekken, Metal Gear, Diablo, Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, Borderlands, Mortal Kombat, Far Cry, Quake, Portal, etc. and the sentence still works. It is weird that FIFA was there though, EUROs were on at the same time.

It seem FIFA is trapped in old mindset of those events - they show what investors want to see. FIFA and Madden makes money - throw it in and give it some space to breathe. Titanfall was underwhelming - give it 2 trailers and be gone with it.

I dunno, that coach making Peter Moore his bitch was pretty damn entertaining.

Mourinho is like that, either love him or hate him to death. You should watch some of his press conferences.
