Nike Virtual Studios and EA SPORTS are today announcing a new partnership aimed at enhancing and personalizing the virtual sports experience for fans all over the world. This collaboration brings together two of the biggest names in sport and entertainment and will lead to all new ways for members of .SWOOSH, Nike\u2019s new digital community experience, and EA SPORTS fans to express their personal style through play.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

EA Sports games offer that already, of course, sometimes in the form of free unlocks, others that you have to pay for using in-game (or real-world) currency. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
