EA’s “very talented artists” supplemented that algorithmic work, tweaking and improving the player likenesses, Wilson said, as opposed to “having to go through full head development programs.”
“Without AI, we simply wouldn’t be able to deliver College football at the level that we did, even though we devoted many, many years to developing the team,” Wilson concluded.
“It was a decision we made because we were really building a franchise for the future,” Wilson said. “It was the first time we’d done it in 10 years, and the level of gameplay and the level of visual fidelity that we achieved was a combination of years of work from our incredible teams augmented and accelerated by AI that we simply couldn’t have done just two or three years ago.”
