At Electronic Arts, we believe in the positive power of play and championing the positive players among us.

After launching with Year 3 of the Apex Legends Global Series (ALGS), the Electronic Arts Positive Player Award continues with EA SPORTS FC Pro and the Madden Championship Series (MCS).

Beginning in early November 2023, competitors and coaches of FC Pro and MCS will be invited to nominate fellow competitors who consistently display outstanding sportspersonship by showing generous treatment of others, and act as honorable opponents during the tournament.

Monica Dinsmore, Senior Director of Esports Brand, commented: "We are excited to announce that the celebration of positive play is now being carried onto the pitch and the gridiron! Players and fans participating in both EA Sports FC Pro and the Madden Championship Series (MCS) will now be able to honor others who consistently exhibit behavior that creates positive, memorable experiences. After an incredible launch during Year 3 of the Apex Legends Global Series, EA's Positive Player Award program is now expanding to allow even more players to join in."

Know any FC Pro and MCS competitors who make every competition a positive experience for all? 

Competitors and coaches are invited to nominate their choice for the Positive Player Award starting November 10, 2023 on EA.com. Once nominations close, 3-10 finalists will be selected and the community will be invited to vote for the winner which will be announced at each league's respective championships. 

We appreciate all of our players and cannot wait to honor members of our FC Pro and MCS communities. Be sure to catch the winner announcements of the Positive Player Award during the FC Pro and MCS Championship finals on each league’s YouTube and Twitch channels.
