EA announced that they've raised their expectations for Anthem, and that they're feeling very confident about the raised expectations.
They raised it because of the various metrics they track. They also note that it's tracking very well digitally, so it should be particularly high margin for them.
There's still a bit left in the call, so I'll update if they say more. Most people are just asking about FIFA and mobile though.

The other two quotes were from the Q&A, so they aren't written up currently.

The fourth quarter will be stronger than we had originally forecast, driven by higher expectations for Anthem and Command and Conquer Rivals.

This is significantly above our original expectations, primarily driven by the strength we are seeing in Anthem, which we expect to skew strongly digital, plus the digital shifts for our other titles. We continue to model an underlying shift of around five percentage points a year to digital.
