How come FIFA is missing so many so many international teams??

[CurryMan]

Does anyone know why we have countries like India, but not the likes of Bosnia Herzegovina, Ghana, Nigeria, Ghana, Serbia etc? This is probably the only thing that PES has that FIFA doesn't.

I agree; but it may have something to do with EA releasing a game just for the World Cup that will surely have the missing teams.

They may not have been able to acquire the licenses to those teams.

Lonestar210 hit it. Its all about maximizing the money made on the bi annual big international tournaments. I'm sure we're either going to get a $20 DLC World Cup pack for Fifa (like we did 2 years ago for the UEFA tournament) or they'll release an entirely new game.

Of course like a tool I'll buy either

EA already announced there will be a WC 2014 game coming next year.

No, it's about licenses

Absolutely correct.

It has nothing to do with making more money on FIFA World Cup or UEFA. If that was the case then FIFA 14 would leave out the top national teams from their games and also wouldn't have implemented a very basic World Cup in Career Mode. Also the World Cup sells the video game. People get hyped and the fact that you can play with licensed teams through qualifying or start at the World Cup is what intrigues the buyer. Then you get real licensed stadiums and the atmosphere of the event. It's all about licensing when it comes to whether FIFA adds something or not.
