A really long article here. It goes into how the Sims Online will flourish and stuff. Then it says that EA does alot of testing on their products before shipping them. Well, just look at Earth and Beyond. That game turned into crap pretty fast.

At least as significant as the numbers is the kind of audience "The Sims Online" is likely to attract. "The Sims" has drawn one of the most diverse audiences in gaming--more than 50 percent female, and broadly distributed across age groups--with a unique style of game play that emphasizes creativity and self-made narratives. Players control a single family of characters, guiding them in tasks ranging from career climbing to interior decorating to forming friendships with computer-controlled next-door neighbors.
