    Re: EA Sports FC Announced

    World Cup content coming in FIFA 23. That's the only valuable info in this. The rest is "we're changing our name but it's MORE than a name change!!!!" nonsense.


    This also seems like a great excuse for EA to mail it in for FIFA 23 and and give us a 22 reskin. Not that we expected anything else at this point, but advertising for a game that's releasing a year after a currently unreleased game seems like a great way for them to do nothing in FIFA 23.

    One good thing I could see coming from this "July 2023" stuff is that maybe this game will actually release before the beginning of the season instead two months after the season starts at of the end of September like FIFA does... It would compete with Madden and NCAA so who knows if that'll happen but it would be nice.

      Re: FIFA 23 Releases Later This Year, Officially Changing Name of Series to EA Sports

      This new independent platform will bring fresh opportunity – to innovate, create and evolve.
      Would be great of they actually did that, as opposed to keeping **** the same as to not offend the people who spend hundreds/thousands of dollars on packs in FUT. I think we know what they will do.

        It is much more than a name change. The partnership between EA and FIFA is over. That is a big deal

          After all these years of dreaming of the day FIFA would end its exclusivity agreement, Winning Eleven / Pro Evolution / eFootball is the worst it has ever been…monkey paw situation.

            it will be interesting to see how this plays out.....EA has the model in place and will churn away as usual with cash cow ultimate team in place and FIFA will venture off with their own games coming down the road in the future. so are the world cup content and fifa teams the only thing sacrificed in this deal? will FIFA 23 be the last to include the world cup and fifa teams?

              I hope the NFL pay attention and follow suit.

                Is it though? Nothing is changing in licensing. The name on the box is different but nothing else is changing for EA.

                There will be a 3rd simulation soccer game (made by maybe 2k sports?), so that could be a good thing in the long run but based on the horrific downfall of PES and the lack of competition they are to EA I wouldn't bet on this new FIFA funded game being worth playing any time in the near or long term future.

                  I don't think people realize that this was EA's decision to not overpay for the FIFA name and it has nothing to do with player licensing, team licensing, or simulation licensing. It really can't be compared to Madden in any way.

                    Well the NFL needs to raise the price. How's that not comparable?

                      What is FIFA's price versus the NFL's price?

                        The price of what? Their name? If they did the same thing as FIFA then the only thing that would change is it would be called Madden 23 instead of Madden NFL 23...

                          I'm worried about the FIFA World Cup in video game form and intl teams in gaming in general

                            I have no idea. I just want the NFL to make it some stupid number to run EA away from this monopoly

                            That's cool. Whatever it takes for other companies to use the NFL. Options are always better for everyone

                              $1,500,000,000... without doing any of the heavy lifting.

                              If the NFL was smart, they'd demand a percentage of the MUT $$.

                              The only way the license goes up significantly is another suitor coming along. Outside of Microsoft or Amazon diving in, I'm not sure anyone else is going to invest that kind of money.. only to have to build the game from scratch.... WHILE competing against EA, entrenched for 3 decades.

                              Its unfortunate, and extremely disappointing, but I can't see any other reality.

                              You can completely forget about the NFL forcing this issue with a collection of dinosaur and deadbeat owners. Pond scum like Dean Spanos laugh all the way to the bank with a massive check they did nothing to earn. Its even better than taking Jerry Jones and Bob Krafts shared revenue.

                              .. as for this deal, as I would prefer with the NFL, 2 is better than 1. Hopefully FIFA can get a credible title in place.
