Did you know that EA lost the FIFA license? FIFA decided that they wanted the whole cake so they’ve taken to developing the future FIFA games themselves.
EA is obviously continuing to develop their golden cow, now called EA Sports FC.
Huh. I was wondering about the name change when I bought FC 24 for my nephew this xmas. He made it very clear that they had changed names so that I didnt buy the wrong one, but he didnt say why it had changed. 🤯
Yep, that’s why! I’m guessing he was clear because he wanted the newest version of the same game. No idea if the official game is any good or not. Could be it’s a complete disaster.
Considering the way they responded to ESPN football back when I was younger, I cheer on every time I hear bad things about EA Sports.
For those too young or who don’t recall… ESPN (or I should say, a company who licensed ESPN) came out with a budget football game 2000ish. They charged $20 for it, and it blew that year’s Madden game out of the water in terms of quality and reviews. It was situated to force the industry to pivot from AAA to lovingly-crafted AA titles by teams that clearly cared about the product being fun.
So EA gave the NFL a metric fuckton of money for exclusivity to murder the competition.

No, I didn’t. Huh. Still, golden cow is right. Because what it produces is still a pile of manure.
