The reason why we don't have a third developer in the market anymore is because there is absolutely no way to compete against Konami and EA in terms of licensing nowadays. So it's pretty pointless to put millions of dollars into something if you won't be able to include real brands, teams, players, tournaments.

Plus it's not that easy to make a football game. All developers who tried to compete against Konami and EA in the past failed miserably. Sony, SEGA, Ubisoft, they all tried and ended up in pure garbage games.

We could go for a small developer, but I don't think they would be able to make something any better than FIFA and PES.

In short, football gaming is probably the most complicated video gaming niche to get into.
