For John and Jane public EA have Crysis 3, FIFA 13, FIFA Manager 13, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, Star Wars: The Old Republic and SimCity.

They include "friendlies, qualifiers and major international tournaments." Fill the shoes of a manager or "prove yourself at the club level" as a player and earn a call to represent your nation.
