    It seems like EA actually wants to keep the worst company award

    http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2012/10/fifa-13-wii/ More affecting of the console players, but EA repackaged Fifa 12 as Fifa 13 for the Wii. They kind of have a dodgy reputation as far as all of the sports franchises go, its just more fuel for the fire i guess
