The president of EA Sports has revealed that the publisher has no plans for more racing games based on the NASCAR licence.

Peter Moore told GameSpot: "There are no plans right now for NASCAR from EA. We had a great relationship over the years that I thoroughly enjoyed when I first got here. Unfortunately…we had to make some tough trade-offs.

"We’ve had to redeploy some of those folks. A number of the NASCAR team has moved over now to EA Sports MMA, which will be shipping next year. [We’re] still a huge fan of NASCAR, but no plans right now to develop any further games for NASCAR from EA Sports."

The EA Sports chief said some of the team who worked on previous NASCAR titles have moved over to develop the publisher’s first mixed martial arts title.
