With notable exceptions by subsidiary companies like Split Fiction.

Yeah. No they haven't.

EA is just a big bundle that they were able to buy at all with a huge pile of cash. Going around the globe, chasing studios that do this and that is a ton of work and takes forever and is not really a good strategy.

I think they're betting on exactly that recurring structure of licensed sports games.

But that still depends on letting artists do some amount of stuff. For example a bunch of sports outfits may clash with strict Islam. Same for Sims.
