2K building EA Sports FC rival — hires FIFA veterans at new Vancouver studio

Publisher 2K has opened a new studio in Vancouver, right next to EA's headquarters, staffed with veterans of the FIFA game series. Job listings point to an AAA football game featuring foot-to-ball animations, on-pitch duels and a robust online multiplayer backbone. While 2K has not confirmed the sport, the evidence strongly suggests EA Sports FC is about to face its first serious rival in years.
