New leagues for FIFA 16?

[Fabric]

So, with FIFA 16 announcements just around the corner at E3, what new leagues are you hoping for in 16?

As a Dane, in regards to career mode, the dream would be the Danish 1. Division but I realize that that is highly unlikely. I'm hoping that they add some more Eastern European leagues (like the Ukrainian Premier League, Czech Synot Liga or Hungarian OTP Bank Liga), a lower league from one of the present major leagues in 15 (like the German 3. Liga or the Dutch Eerste Divisie), and I also feel the Greek Super League is long overdue. Of course it would also be awesome if the Brazilian Serie A made a return, but since PES currently holds the rights I don't see that happening! I would also love it if they added the Icelandic Pepsideild but again that is also highly unlikely

We often don't get this information until closer to release due to the way the licensing process works. The licenses simply aren't locked in when the game is first announced.

I know, but it's always fun to speculate and discuss what people are hoping for - even if there is still a ways to go

For instance: would you like them to add the NASL to 16?

Re: New leagues for FIFA 16?

I'd love to see NASL in FIFA 16. I always played NASL seasons in last-gen FIFA, but the removal of Creation Centre on current-gen killed that for me.

This will probably not be the popular opinion due to the number of English leagues already in the game, but the league(s) I want to see most in FIFA is the Football (Vanarama) Conference, North and South. WIth the lower tiers we could also see a larger disparity in talent, lots of players in the 30-40 range.

Also, please give us smaller grounds in the 4,000-5,000 seating range, complete with rickety stands and muddy pitches.

If you believe the stories about Konami being in trouble, I can see EA chomping at the bit to pounce on some of those PES licenses when/if the time comes.

I'm not sure if entire leagues would need to be added but at least some of the top teams from the smaller European leagues added to Rest of the World so that the European competitions could be replicated a bit better. Also some Central American league if it allows for a CONCACAF Champions League type tournament.

I've been wanting this too. The thing is, aside from MLS and Liga MX, the only leagues I ever see advance very far in CCL is Costa Rica and maybe Honduras.

Weren't the NASL themselves reporting they'd reached an agreement to be included in FIFA 16?

I found this:

It would be awesome, but I personally wouldn't believe anything until it comes straight from EA. Two years ago, Football Conference chairman Alan Alger sent out a tweet announcing they'd reached a deal to include the Conference in FIFA 14. It never happened.

Re: New leagues for FIFA 16?

Since there's no pro/reg in the U.S. Soccer structure, for me, the best reason to add NASL is to make playing U.S. Open Cup make more sense in the game.

Additionally, since NASL has a couple of Canadian clubs, perhaps they could also add the Canadian (domestic) Cup. The way it works in real life, Edmonton and Ottowa play a quarter final play-in game and the winner joins the 3 Canadian MLS clubs in the semi finals.

Re: New leagues for FIFA 16?

I'm not sure if PES still has it, but in previous PES games you could manually link leagues for pro/rel (i.e. Championship to the EPL). If they ever add that to FIFA it will be a godsend, especially if they incorporate Creation Centre into current-gen.

Re: New leagues for FIFA 16?

More lower leagues for the current leagues with only the top tier. Playing an MLS career mode gets super redundant without the ability to play lower pyramid teams in cup competitions....and for leagues with promotion/relegation it is especially unrealistic to have the same set of teams in the league each year.

As far as new leagues to add, I'd like to see Brazil return, along with Ukranian, Croatia, Romania & Czech leagues. Plus add in more Rest of Wold teams so we can create a proper Champions League & Europa League tournament.

I'd also like the full depth of international teams present from the last WC game.

Re: New leagues for FIFA 16?

Before they add the NASL, EA needs to correctly represent the MLS 1st.

Re: New leagues for FIFA 16?

I've been waiting since fifa 10 for the german 3.liga. Would love to see some more international teams from africa and asia.

Re: New leagues for FIFA 16?

Alot of those Brazilian sites are notorious for false reports and rumors. I'll believe it when i see it. However if you guys have fifa 15 on pc, my latest patch adds nasl to career mode, including the amway canadian championship and a 32 team USOC.
