Man Utd introduce state-of-the-art technology to help Ruben Amorim keep tabs on ‘lazy' stars
RUBEN AMORM will use state-of-the-art technology to find out who isn't pulling their weight at Manchester United. The Portuguese gaffer has been nothing short of ruthless since replacing Erik ten Hag at the Old Trafford helm. 4 Ruben Amorim has been absolutely ruthless since taking charge of Manchester United Credit: GETTY 4 The Portuguese gaffer has banished the likes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho Credit: GETTY 4 Amorim will now use state-of-the-art technology to discover which of his players are slacking in training and matches Credit: GETTY Amorim has already banished Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia.

Amorim's troops will this season wear STATSports' Apex 2.0 GPS performance tracker vests during training and in matches to keep tabs on their respective outputs. The trackers will provide "real-time kinematics" to the former Sporting Lisbon boss and his staff with a whopping FIVE MILLION data points over a 90-minute period.

Months after ruling out an Apex Legends 2, EA CEO says "an even bigger, more meaningful" Apex 2.0 is on the table after Battlefield 6
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Months after ruling out Apex Legends 2 as a possibility, publisher EA now says that Apex 2.0 is planned to exist in the long-term future. EA CEO Andrew Wilson confirmed as much via the company's most recent Q&A fiscal call when asked about the battle royale game's supposed underperformance. "We've had over 200 million people play the game," Wilson says, "however, the trajectory of the business of that franchise has not been headed in the direction that we have wanted for some time." Wilson then states developer Respawn Entertainment is focusing on "three vectors" to get Apex Legends back on track. The first comes from supporting the "tens of millions of people" who play daily with smaller updates that cover "quality-of-life, anti-cheat, and all of the things that make the core experience great, as well as the creation of new content for that community." The second supposed "phase" will apparently come in the form of "a more meaningful update of Apex as a broad game experience" - though, Wilson also says that this won't come out "on top of a Battlefield launch, and so, from a timing standpoint, our thinking right now is that would exist post-Battlefield." Battlefield 6 is set to release by April 2026, even though the publisher isn't opposed to delaying it in the midst of a very competitive year. But EA wants to milk this cow in perpetuity and make sure it's a money-printer for the next "10, 20, 30 years and growing." Wilson then refers to these plans for "an even bigger, more meaningful update" as "an Apex 2.0, if you will," that'll come "on a longer-term horizon." The CEO adds: "This will not be the final incarnation of Apex." It's an interesting revelation since EA said it wasn't interested in making an Overwatch 2-style follow-up to the shooter just a few months ago because "the version two thing has almost never been as successful as version one," and the company didn't want players to lose all the progress they've invested in. From my perspective, Wilson's missing the most crucial piece of this puzzle that'd surely turn Apex Legends' fortunes overnight: Titanfall 3.

《Apex 英雄》EA 執行長宣布「Apex 2.0」大改版準備中！將在《戰地風雲》新作後推出
EA 旗下熱門大逃殺遊戲《Apex 英雄》近年屢遭挑戰，包括 2024 年的駭客攻擊、「Tap Strafe」削弱反覆橫跳，以及內容更新未滿足玩家期望，甚至被戲稱「唯一擴展的只有微交易」，導致 Steam 同時在線人數不斷下滑。而最近 EA 財報中會議上，執行長 Andrew Wilson 直接透露《Apex 英雄》史上最大更新正在準備中，並稱呼為「Apex 2.0」 在 EA 最新的電話財報會議中，執行長 Andrew Wilson 表示：《Apex 英雄》團隊目前正籌劃史上最大更新，並認為可以稱作「Apex 2.0」。不過，Wilson 並未透露更新具體內容，只確認該更新將於《戰地風雲》新作上市後推出，而《戰地風雲》新作預計將在 2026 年 4 月之前面市。 In the quarterly investor call, EA CEO says the teams are working on a "major update for Apex Legends, Apex 2.0 if you will" that they intend to release "after the next Battlefield's launch." — Apex Legends News (@alphaINTEL) February 4, 2025 「Apex 2.0」的消息引起眾多網友熱議。不少人認為，若需等待這麼久，除了可能加入新模式或玩法之外，最有可能的情形便是對遊戲底層進行徹底翻新，徹底解決一些惡性漏洞、連線問題等。目前《Apex 英雄》仍使用 Valve 旗下經過大量修改的 Source 引擎（推出 20 多年的老引擎），而 Valve 近年也推出了新一代的 Source 2 引擎，該引擎已廣泛運用在《DOTA 2》和《CS2》上。 儘管如此，早在 2023 年 11 月，外媒 Beebom 在測試《Apex 英雄》第 19 賽季時就曾詢問官方是否會升級至 Source 2，官方當時直接否認了這一可能性。 緊貼最新科技資訊、網購優惠，追隨 Yahoo Tech 各大社交平台！ 🎉📱 Tech Facebook： 🎉📱 Tech Instagram： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 社群： 🎉📱 Tech WhatsApp 頻道： 🎉📱 Tech Telegram 頻道：
