Dust has yet to settle around the power transfer, and neither Wilson nor EA's board of directors have commented on the immediate implications of the change. Given the rapid encroachment of the next console generation, however, we can expect one or two surprises from EA in the coming months.

Through its ever expanding line of feature and teaser trailers, FIFA 14 has proven that it's not enough to be an immersive, realistic sports gaming experience--you've got to have good music too. And the game's official soundtrack doesn't disappoint, featuring everything from Nine Inch Nails  to The Naked And Famous to the recent hit from The Royal Concept, "On Our Way." From electronic and pop to classic rock, FIFA 14's 37-artist lineup, hailing from 13 countries, has memorable football anthems in spades.
