Wrong. One of the smartest. Fuck the fifa series. It’s long been a copy and paste job and frankly I’m sick of the monopoly it has had on the football market.

Yeah but whats this going to do?

Some developer needs to pay millions for this license, and then what? They also need to license clubs, stadiums, players. Who is going to do all that? And who's going to buy the FIFA license and then create a game with fictional names and teams?

None really makes sense to me. EA didn't lose anything. The next game won't be called FIFA sure, but it will have all kits, FUT etc. It will be the exact same game for better or worse.

I specifically said PES from 4 years ago not this year's garbage F2P game.

Pes 18 was garbage too, maybe you meant 14 years ago

 

[Boss Mog]

I disagree, PES 2018 is a decent game and better than any FIFA ever released.

They havent been tooo bad, I guess. Looking forward to tomorrow though!

 

[AJUMP23]

I do not understand this joke.

 

[Dibils2k]

hopefully get a new football game with fresh ideas and feel

i think for sure FIFA has got the worst of this

Hve you bothered to read the fifa statement on the matter?

 

[SoraNoKuni]

Only good outcome is If Sony acquires Konami or their IPS then the FIFA license, else... f@ck them.

 

[Orta]

major football clubs? Austin? Toronto?

Man City?

 

[phil_t98]

Man City?

I would say they were bigger than those clubs.

Always blows my mind that soccer fans have no idea of the history of the sport they profess to love.

The name "football" was originally for any sport played ON FOOT, to differentiate them from games played on horseback. Hence Rugby Football vs. Association (Soccer) Football. Just because modern slang has truncated the terms doesn't magically make the correct terminology wrong.

Like clockwork this dumb explanation. Just change the name of the American sport to Concussionball Hitz 3000 and there you go, no more confusion.

I have a mandatory overtime. So I won't be able to watch the match directly.
But I really want to win tomorrow. I miss champions league.

 

[Termite]

Always like to upset people as an Irishman by noting that both we and the Australians also call it soccer. Football for us is gaelic football, and to aussies it's australian rules football.

If this bothers you you really need to get your head out of your arse. Although for some reason it's only when the yanks do it that people get upset.

Dont worry, they probably will, and my lad will be ribbing Spurs (He's Brighton&Hove)

...As always

You guys barely ever make it to the World Cup or the Euro, so it's not like you ever have much of a chance to troll.

Ea cant survive without club and player licenses…

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Fuck FIFA

Fuck EA

 

[kingfey]

Fifa doesn't have those. Only world cup.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Fifa doesn't have those. Only world cup.

I just meant there gonna go after exclusive player and club rights. They cant survive without it

 

[kingfey]

They already have that. Plus they signed new rights last year with new clubs.
The core won't get affected. Only fifa name, and the world cup would be the change.

 

[Nickolaidas]

If most of the club really sticks with EA that FIFA is fucked no matter what.

Nah, they'll go to Konami. Their victory is guaranteed.

But in all seriousness, I fully expect the first non-EA FIFA game to sell like hotcakes due to the morons not realizing that FIFA is a name, not a developer.

 

[Little Mac]

Who has Ted Lasso signed with? That's all that matters.

They're probably too busy in those countries playing real sports to get good at a game we use basically only for 8 year-olds and under.

 

[FF:Enhanced_Reality]

If it weren't for the article, I would have thrown spudsy in to the garbage bin.
I am still mad, that my club is dead silent.

My club only posted the past few hours. Who do you support??

And now, he is simping for these 2, considering how much they did for the club this year.
With Jesús signing for us, we would have a competent striker who can score for the 1st time.

Soccer games are going through something

 

[The Stig]

A sport named by the British.

Its true, we did.

It's a shortening of "association football". When football's rules were finally established (size of pitch, goalkeeper area, length of halves etc) kids would get tired of saying "lets play association football" so it got shortened to soccer.

Soccer is actually correct.

Football clubs will follow the money...

BTW, stop using that stupid name "soccer". It's called Football... you know, a actual sport where most of the time you actually play with your feet.

Ain't a fella in your league that could stop Derrick Henry or Nick Chubb. Ever. Not faster. Not stronger. Not smarter...

Redirect Notice

Knock it off and enjoy 90 minutes of grown men dominating the middle pitch.


(See how that works?)


Hell I'm 43 years old and I can't see what your "athletes" do but flop, complain, and run around in 30 yard concentric circles?

Save Ronaldo, he's a beast. Messi? Dead. Neymar? No chance. "Name whatever weird haired guy you want here" etc.

There's a reason why football players are very lean. Those guys you posted would get smoked and left behind by average football players. Football players spend their lives learning to control the ball with their feet and are really fast with it at their feet.

Football is quite unique compared to something like the NBA, where you can learn to play in a few weeks as long as you are tall, or like the NFL, where you can be there as long as you are tall/big/fast enough. It takes way less skill to catch an egg than to control a ball with your body.

 

[knguyen]

I watch football all my life, also played a lot when I was younger. Scoring goals in Fifa never gives me that "wow" feeling, I does not feel like I really work hard for the goals. With all the resources they have, I really hope that EA can make a football game that real fans of the sport and enjoy.

I'm not even going to bother responding to such ignorance...
