The EA Talent Scout campaign is back! Do you live and breathe football, have an encyclopaedic knowledge of your favorite team and the patience and dedication to work with our database? If the answer is: yes, yes and YES – then we want you for the FIFA Video Game series!

I’m done reading – sign me up!

We’ve got  upto 2000 active members in our data collection community but we’re always looking for more football experts to join our team. This is your chance to help us ensure the appearance of your favorite players and teams in FIFA are as close a reflection of the beautiful game as possible.

So, what kind of roles are available?

Data Reviewers:  This voluntary role is the way into our community for the overwhelming majority of people.  We’ll ask you to take a look at the data for the clubs that you know inside-out and give us your feedback. If Data Reviewers do well they can be offered a contract and promotion to become Data Editors. It’s a good role to understand the database and show us the quality and depth of your football knowledge.

Data Editors: A really important role. Data Editors research and edit teams and players within our massive database, so this covers team formation, style settings, player attributes and much more.  It’s a contracted position and you’ll see your name in the credits.

Applying couldn’t be easier: for Data Reviewers we want you to fill in a quick online form, and for the rest we’ll ask you to complete a straightforward test.

For all these roles we’re looking for hardcore football fans. Yes, you are a massive FIFA fan, but you’ll also know your every detail about your team’s entire squad, be aware of the up-and-coming youngsters and analyse the manager’s tactics after every game. And, to be honest, you’ve got to have the time, patience and inclination to work with and input data.

If you’re nodding along at this point, hairs standing up on your arms back of your neck – then you’re exactly who we want to join our database community. So apply through the Talent Scout website, and help us spread the word on Twitter.
