Victory's Leader Tony Brummel said "Teaming up with EA is a natural for us. They are a brilliant company that has really utilized the power of music to increase the overall entertainment value of their games, and, at the same time, help in the development of many fantastic artists. They have their ear to the street and are leaps and bounds ahead of their competition."
