EA SPORTS TO FEATURE 19 OFFICIALLY LICENSED
BRAZILIAN CLUBS IN FIFA 14

Number of Authentic Brazilian Clubs Nearly Doubles For FIFA 14

Electronic Arts Inc. announced today that EA SPORTS™ has secured licensing agreements with 19 of the top football clubs from Brazil, ensuring each officially licensed club will feature the authentic club crest, kits and players in-game. FIFA 14 will feature over 30 leagues, more than 600 clubs, and 16,000 players.

“We’re very excited to bring the stars of the top Brazilian clubs into our games,” said David Rutter, Executive Producer of the FIFA franchise. “For all our fans that support and love Brazilian football, this will only add to the authentic FIFA experience they enjoy, and the additional clubs will bring undiscovered players from Brazil into the FIFA Ultimate Team universe.”

FIFA 14 will feature nearly twice as many officially licensed Brazilian clubs over the last iteration of the game, including 18 teams from the Série A. The 19 Brazilian clubs who have been officially licensed and will be showcased in-game are: Atlético Mineiro, Atlético Paranaense, Botafogo, Coritiba, Criciúma, Cruzeiro, Flamengo, Fluminense, Goiás, Grêmio, Internacional, Náutico, Palmeiras, Ponte Preta, Portuguesa, Santos, São Paulo, Vasco da Gama, and Vitória.

Additional new league and club licenses will be announced prior to FIFA 14’s release in North America on September 24 and worldwide on September 27. The game will also be available on Xbox One®, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft, and the PlayStation®4 later this year.

Hoping for more national teams in Europe (Croatia, Israel, Iceland, ect) and other regions (Canada, Central American teams, more African teams, and TAHITI!!!) for career mode and to play with, and more European leagues (Israel, Finland, Ukraine, Czech, Slovak, Turkey, Greece) plus (this has more to do with career mode) the ability to scout all countries with national teams.

The more licensed clubs/leagues the better. I've also heard rumblings about Blue Square Premier being included but as of yet no official confirmation.

Licenses are a waste of money imo. Better to have a deep editor in your game. The community does a better job anyway of keeping the game up to date.

Licences are why a large percentage of football gamers buy FIFA. EA knows this and so that's not going to change. There's a very $pecific rea$on you don't see Rutter holding a press conference to announce the addition of a fully-featured in-game editor.

PES still is the only one with the Champions League right? I hope someday soon Fifa can get that in their game.

thats great but didnt they have about 10 licensed clubs last year? adding 4 clubs shouldnt be news

[R9NALD9]

^^^ so 19 - 10 = 4?

If they did have 10 last year, then they've added 9...so basically almost doubled the amount from last year.

[willyfantastic]

haha for some reason i read it as 14.......

Editing, mods, and sharing is the best part about gaming. Being part of a community.

That's why I'd rather have a deep editor. Makes the game last longer.

I think almost everyone is in agreement on this one, but there's no sign of it anywhere except the PC world.

I'd say only a very small percentage of gamers ever use editing tools. Sports games these days are designed for the online gaming crowd given they make up the vast majority of consumers. EA understands the money is in developing online features, not offline additions like editing tools.

I agree that the community does a better job at customization but I'd say the vast majority of folks who play video games aren't as serious as us. They just want to pop the game in and play.

IMO, it's all about the BPL. Having the official license for the most popular league in the world = $$$$$$
