Summary

EA Scores With MongoDB-based FIFA Online 3` EA Sports FIFA Online 3 is a massively multiplayer online soccer game that has gained popularity in Asia, particularly in Korea, where it is the most popular sports game. The game allows players to choose and customize teams from over 30 leagues and 15,000 real-world players, including famous players like Ronaldo and Özil. To scale to millions of players, EA developed the game with MongoDB, a scalable database that can handle high traffic and growth. This decision paid off when the game won a MongoDB Innovation Award for its creative use of MongoDB, which was donated to the Park Ji-sung JS Foundation. The award recipient, Spearhead, also uses MongoDB to improve the gaming experience for other companies, including EA Sports FIFA Online 3.
