EA could actually lose the license for the FIFA name in the future. But now the publisher is taking precautions and securing the FIFPRO rights – and with them 65,000 professionals.

 with FIFPRO – and secures important licenses

The developer has now responded to this. EA has already officially announced the extension. In the press release , the publisher emphasizes the importance of authenticity. We can only underline that. Featuring thousands of player names and graphics as content supported by the FIFPRO license agreement, the EA SPORTS football experiences are the only ones where fans can play the UEFA Champions League, CONMEBOL Libertadores, Premier League, Bundesliga and LaLiga Santander.

“Our players regularly remind us that one of the most important aspects of an EA SPORTS gaming experience is total immersion in the game’s world, which we reinforce by utilizing the real leagues, teams and talent . In doing so, we blur in a unique way the boundaries between the physical and digital football worlds,” said David Jackson, VP EA SPORTS Brand.
“FIFPRO will continue to be a significant partner as we create the next generation of EA SPORTS soccer experiences for players around the world.”

“We are very excited to continue this partnership with EA SPORTS to create the world’s best interactive experience for football fans, enabling our professional football members to spread the love of football on a global stage,” said Theo van Seggelen, General Secretary of the FIFPRO.

So that sounds good because FIFA (or EA Sports FC or whatever) without licenses just wouldn’t be fun. The opportunity to play with the real and biggest stars has always been the appeal of the series.

FIFA 22 – FUTs

What could be cooler than just relaxed gaming and doing some sofa sports on the side? In FIFA 22, the player is on the move fast, but without getting sore muscles. With the Ultimate Team Event cards, the collecting instinct is now also satisfied. However, the FUT Heroes keep creeping into my mind, so here are the best Ultimate Team Event cards that are definitely worth adding to your collection.

Heroes cards selected by EA for top qualities

Admittedly, the FUT heroes will cost quite a bit of coin, but it turns out that EA has once again brought some top-class players into the game when it comes to selection. As a collector and hunter, it’s an added attraction for FIFA gamers to now include their own favorite heroes in the portfolio and benefit from their individual skills. Both in the game and in team building, the FUTs will revolutionize the game once again.

EA SPORTS FC: FIFA GAME SERIES TO BE CONTINUED UNDER NEW NAME

Of course, the soccer simulation game series will not be discontinued completely. After FIFA 23, EA will relaunch the game under the name EA Sports FC and market it independently. Old FIFA hares should now become quite an ear, after all, the EA Sports Football Club used to be a part of the actual game for years. A lot of playing was rewarded, points could be collected and items, boosts or balls for the individual game modes could be unlocked.

In this context, there could also be a complete revolution of the classic game. There is a heated discussion in the FIFA community about whether the game, which is expected to be released in the fall of 2023, will be free-to-play. This option is said to be on the table for the game makers from EA, because: It seems that EA earns most of its money with the purchases of FIFA Points in the game mode Ultimate Team and not with the sale of the game itself.
