Juventes no longer in FIFA 20!

[jrnlgrn]

Since FIFA lost the rights to Juventes we now get to play with the mighty Piemonte Calcio!! So just like the Argentinian league doesn't have their biggest club (Boca Juniors) now we have the same for Series A. RIP Juve.

"Piemonte Calcio will become the new playable team in FIFA 20 with a custom badge and kit."

You've got to be kidding me. Is the same thing going to happen to Bayern? Way to go EA for not doing crap with your partnerships

Hopefully not. I think the only thing we lose with Bayern is Allianz Arena not sure. Things might different when they license an entire league like the are supposed to be doing with the Bundesliga this year.

It's a yearly tradition of Fifa finding ways to remove content rather than adding new content. Classic.

Bayern will still be licensed. Only their stadium is gone. Which is bad enough.

Pretty lame, IMO.

I'm fine with EA having competition (see Madden and NHL series for reasons) and I actually like PES; I played both for 2019 since Xbox game pass offered PES from January through presumably July (as was the case in 2018, hopefully 2020 too). As bad as aspects of FIFA have become, I like having the real EPL, MLS and Liga MX. I'll go with PES if I can for Calcio Italia; funny thing is even with Juv exclusive, PES will still be behind EA to a degree if they have to use a generic name for the Italian league.

(As said elsewhere...)I don't understand the point of exclusive team partnerships or licensing, honestly. It's seemingly nothing but a "hey, look what I have!" PR move for publishers, a bit of a money infusion for the clubs but leaves the consumer going huh and why?

FIFA 20 has an exclusive license with the Bundesliga, so all the teams will be included, including Bayern. PES just gets Bayern as a team.

Time to do away with exclusivities and rights to leagues, teams and players on all sports games! The fans do not deserve this. All it's doing is alienating the fans who play your games and making games less authentic. Enough already!

Agreed. I would think exclusive licensing is only slight a good idea for teams/leagues. I'm sure it generates a good amount of money but I would think having that having your name and players on multiples games would result in even better exposure.

Absolutely hate this. I play leagues (via tournament play) with the big 4 Europe leagues. I hate when my leagues aren’t all the real teams.

Pro clubs needs to kill it this year otherwise I’m not sure I’ll have much use for this game. No Juve? This is a complete joke

Re: Juventes no longer in FIFA 20!

Blame FIFA for this. They've played the exclusive licensing game for far too long. About time PES hit back hard.

EA didn’t decide to remove Juve from the game.

It'll be quite funny to see all of the FIFA YouTubers playing with their Ronaldo cards sporting a generic logo. For a company that could print money, it's a pretty big miss.

Soccer leagues at the highest level dont need or care about more exposure. Every international soccer fan knows the EPL, La Liga and Serie A. All those leagues care about is revenue and exclusive licenses provide the most revenue.
