EA Sports Football Club: Moving Millions of FIFA Players into the Cloud

Overview:

With FIFA 12, EA has introduced EA Sports Football Club, a online community that connects millions of FIFA console gamers with the vast network of soccer fans around the world. To make this happen, the FIFA development team had to create a new set of RESTful services that could serve as a foundation and scale to support a massive user base, and add web-like client capabilities to the FIFA console game that support an ever-changing set of data and features.
