Moore: Annual sports titles can't score well on Metacritic
Chasing mid-nineties scores on Metacritic would be a mistake
EA Sport's president Peter Moore has been talking about the Metacritic and the difficulties they face scoring well with their annual sports franchises.
Moore told Develop Online that Metacritic scores are not something that he will be looking at when this year's round of EA Sports annual titles.
Moore said: "In terms of what I want from FIFA 11, it is difficult to tell them to go and get a 92 or 93. It is almost impossible to take an iterative annual sports title and get it into the mid-90s."
He added: "You can break Metacritic down and say 'We can get two extra points by doing this' but it may not actually enhance the gamers' experience, and that is where there is a line we have to be careful we don't cross. It is a bit of a slippery slope if you focus everything on Metacritic."
