EA CEO says there would have been no EA Sports College Footbal 25 without AI
, by Quentin
In a recent interview, EA CEO Andrew Wilson answered a question about the use of AI in the development of EA Sports College Football. He made it clear that, without it, the players wouldn't be so realistic, nor there would be so detailed the arenas.
He continued: "we had an incredible team working on this, but we had to get 11,000 new star player heads into the game". It should be noted that the usual range is 500 to 1,000 per year.
"And we were able to take in a whole plethora of photo imagery across 11,000 players and build workflows out where AI and machine learning would generate head and our very talented artists would be able to come in and touch up and enhance those heads versus having to go through the full head development programs".
"In the absence of AI we simply would not have been able to deliver College Football at the level we did, even though we've given the team many, many years in development.".
These comments are bound to bring some controversy, given that the subject is so divisive.
