EA Sports
EA Sports is a division of Electronic Arts that develops and publishes sports video games.

Most games under this brand are developed by EA Vancouver, the Electronic Arts studio in Burnaby, British Columbia as well as EA Tiburon in Maitland, Florida. The main rival to EA Sports is 2K Sports. Notably, both companies compete over the realm of NBA games, with 2K releasing the ''NBA 2K'' series.
