{"title":"EA Canada","description":"\u003cp\u003eEA Canada is the name Electronic Arts' oldest and largest studio carried through most of its history, and it remains the credit attached to the sports catalogue built in Burnaby, British Columbia. The studio began life in January 1983 as Distinctive Software, Inc., founded by Don Mattrick and Jeff Sember on the strength of their early game Evolution, and through the rest of the decade it grew into the largest independent game developer in North America, earning a reputation for driving games such as Test Drive at a time when the genre was still finding its shape on home computers. Electronic Arts acquired the company in 1991 and renamed it EA Canada, giving the publisher a purpose-built home for the sports games that would soon define the EA SPORTS label. Mattrick stayed on and eventually rose to run EA's worldwide studios, while the Burnaby team turned out the series that made the brand: NHL from 1991, FIFA from 1993, NBA Live and NCAA Basketball from 1994, and the first Need for Speed titles between 1994 and 2000, before that franchise passed to other hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2000s widened the portfolio beyond straight simulation. SSX ran from 2000 to 2012 as the studio's arcade snowboarding showcase, the Fight Night boxing games brought its animation and physics work to the ring, and EA SPORTS UFC has carried that combat-sports lineage since 2014. Through all of it FIFA remained the flagship, an annual production whose later entries were shared with EA Romania in Bucharest and which closed under that licence with FIFA 23 in 2022 before continuing from 2023 as EA SPORTS FC. The studio has since been known as EA Burnaby and EA Vancouver, employs roughly 1,300 people and houses the world's largest video game test operation. For players its output is less a back catalogue than a living lineage: the mechanics, presentation and yearly cadence that define modern sports games were, in large part, worked out here.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"fifa-18-origin-cd-key","title":"FIFA 18","description":"\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eEA SPORTS FIFA 18 blurs the line between the virtual and the real, bringing the players, teams and atmospheres of The World's Game to life.
