The FIFA football game will no longer be made by EA Sports. The two organisations have gone their separate ways, EA Sports will continue to make a football game, and FIFA will keep their name.
But how did this come about? Why split? What happens now? And what is the fallout?

I look forward to many new titles such as FIFA Official Catering Manager, Grand Theft FIFA and FIFA titled Goose Game
Hey don't forget about fifamong us..
They already have a grand theft Fifa IRL.
Can't forget ultimate team but this time, the icons move on their card
@@hugoafonso2102I laughed a lot
Fifa Farming Simulator 23
Me and the Wife had a similar split, I kept our Surname she took all the Money. I still consider myself the winner!
Good analogy!😂
my god😭😂
Genius haha
I assume she left you because you were playing FIFA all the time.
This comment is gold.
"EA SPORTS FC" probably the worst name possible
I don't mind it actually, but ea fc would be better
Ea sports football 2kxx sounds a lot better
I Agree Name Sounds Bad
@@griffindinho5109 Or EA Football 2xxx
I'd like a name change to EA Football 20** or Electronic Arts 20**
I wouldn't say NBA 2K has been well received in the recent years. 2K is facing similar criticism in their NBA games as EA is. Minimal progression year-on-year, full of microtransactions, and even locking certain game modes behind online only
Least we forget their 2K19 WWE release? Never.
@@King_Cova yeah their basically gambling simulator game. Who can forget. Should have been their nail in the coffin.
2k atleast works on career mode
@@raiwood77 barely, they just give one season of corny cutscenes then the rest of it is like every other year before. Nobody enjoys career mode they just play it to get a good overall and play online mypark
I'd say give it to Sony San Diego (team behind MLB: The Show series) if nothing else they care about the quality and the spirit of the sport they're simulating
Hopefully we can see actual improvements in football games now
lol
not happening
Y’all will slowly realize how good we had it when EA was exclusively partnered with FIFA.
Fifa is actually the best football simulation game at the moment, nobody is competing with them right now, only people who are rubbish at the game will complain.
@@xAmiin simulation? Have you played fifa 22? It's a Through ball simulator, at best. FIFA was at his best in 17. Today, it's just a lazy developed game focused on FUT and the money.
Let's see EA put their money where their mouth is. They say FIFA held them back, so I want to see some innovation, some updates. Make all game modes, primarily career mode, feel refreshed and superior. As for FIFA, at the moment I think they will struggle without EA. The studio they side with has big shoes to fill. And some may laugh because those used to be EA's shoes, but EA has some of the biggest tools available. I'm most interested to see two contending football/soccer games going head-to-head now, because the competition will force both to make big improvements to their respective games.
FIFA has got to be one of the laziest low-effort games out there. Every year, they recycle the player faces, the pitches, the commentary... the list goes on. They tweak the effectiveness of crosses a little bit, add a handful of new players & charge full price - & that's just the offline modes. I don't even dare to look at what they do with their gambling (um, I mean surprise mechanics) mode.
Fifa will just license pro evo
Ah, so it was FIFA who annually released an array of various sports titles, and ruin their franchises with abysmal microtransactions that lock 90% of the game behind a paywall for the $100 game you paid for.
i feel like they'll chase the cash cow right off the cliff
Cmon its EA sports they aint changing
If FIFA are determined to do this then they should partner with Konami and help to make PES great again. It benefits both parties and EA need the kick up the arse, as they have been complacent for years now.
PES, 2K best options. Would be crazy if partnered with Sony studios or Microsoft tho somehow...
EA kept the game system but not the name so they don’t need another game to join with.
I like EA Football 20..
Why would Konami share their revenue though?
@@davidsabillon5182 So they could get the proper names, kits etc.

When people say the PES series started in 2001 it always weirds me out. You can trace a direct line back to Goal Storm in 96, I think, and definitely back to ISS Pro in 97. (For you young uns out there, the Pro in ISS Pro is the same Pro as in Pro Evo) The name Pro Evolution Soccer may have started in 2001, but it was preceded by ISS Pro, ISS Pro 98, ISS Pro Evolution and ISS Pro Evolution 2.
Isn’t it related to Winning Eleven too?
It was 95, the 1st time i play ISS at SNES and also FIFA 96or97 at SEGA .
@@darochavitor same game, different country, like lays and walkers, or opel and vauxhall
In Japan, the whole series (Goal Storm, ISS, PES and eFootball) is called Winning Eleven, starting with Goal Storm (in Japan, World Soccer Winning Eleven)
Real ones know!
The only redeeming quality for FIFA over the last 10 years has been its association with the football game. Otherwise, it's just corruption, poor implementation of financial fair play, and money grabbing by diluting competions with too many teams.
They say that the name of FIFA is enough to sell video games, but I don't think they realise that their association with the football game actually helps their brand, rather than the brand helping the football game sales.
I think in the next 5 years, we'll see FIFA get a lot more abuse regarding their other activities without the association with the popular football game to protect them.
That is true.
A bad game would also be bad for reputation.
At the moment EA takes the blame for the money grabing in FIFA.
Given FIFA's record at managing.... anything, I'm excited to see how godawful the non-simulation FIFA games will be.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they come up with some puzzles, RPGs and a yugiOh-like card game LOL

You guys missed mentioning when this happened before with EA. Except it was with EA and the NBA. 2K Assumed the rights for the nba game and blew EA’s NBA Live out of the water within 3 years. EA knows whats about to happen to them, thats why EA sports fc will be focused on keeping ultimate team customers not creating a better game. i’m surprised that ultimate team’s revenue wasn’t mentioned as well.
Yeah just for 2k to ruin there own game over the next 5 years
Nevermind if we go back to the mid 00s where the 2k NFL game was way better than madden so ea both the exclusive rights to make NFL games and killed the 2k game
@@darragho6358 ea historically ruins every franchise they get their greedy hands on, outside of simulation sports games aswell
@@Dave002 RIP Anthem and Mass Effect Andromeda
As rough as NBA 2k often is, their career mode is at a better place (and has been since about 2k11). If FIFA goes to 2k or, the dream, San Diego Studios, I think we will be satisfied.
Does this mean EA will bring back running away from the referee and the professional foul button seeing as though FIFA insisted on them being removed.
Haha yes they could never book me
OGs remember when Pro Evo dominated FIFA 2000-2010 because it was clearly the better game. Despite not having kits, names, most stadiums etc. Fans will go for the better title, ultimately
Some of those games were so fun.
I don’t recall a single person ever saying pro evo was better than Fifa 😂
@@jprime6590 pes 4,5,6 was far better than what fifa offered at the time.
I don’t recall a single person saying fifa was better than pes
@@jprime6590 don't know about europe or other continents but in Asia, I would say PES was more well known and played up to maybe when consoles were bought more maybe start of PS3. This was because PSP was the main device for gaming in Asia and PES was better in PSP compared to FIFA. Based on experience only when PSP got ruined and consoles like PS3 or xbox became famous, that was the beginning of fifa dominance in Asia.
This Happened Due To Both Parties Being Greedy
It's just Fifa actually, they want more money for their name. EA don't just pay Fifa for the name and logo the clubs too especially big clubs
@@hanszer0729 fifa wanted 1 bil right i remeber
Yes, both organisations are greedy & corrupt. Especially FIFA with they’re envelopes. Countries shouldn’t invest in their product.
@@bear1245 FIFA not listed on an exchange as far as I know, EA actually is and they are the ones who created all the assets, animations, environments over decades. To do this will take 5 years no matter what studio you get.
@@juz882010 What does that matter if they’re not on the exchange lol? FIFA have been proven as corrupt.
EA will put more focus on Ultimate Team and online, so hopefully FIFA will put more focus on career mode and offline. Unlikely that the FIFA game will be great or perform well, but I'm still more likely to play it than the EA offering as I'm not interested in FUT or online. I have a feeling that it is people like me who are mainly interested in career mode that will (continue to) be shafted most by this split.
No. Offline modes don't make that much money compared to online modes.
We prefer ultimate team
You are strange bro how can u not play ultimate team u must have just woken up
@@davidsabillon5182 I don't think you understood the point.
@@roaarylion5214 It just doesn't appeal to me. Why would I want to pay money to complete a virtual sticker book? I understand it has been the most popular mode for years now but I enjoy building a squad in a more realistic way and climbing up the actual football leagues. Playing online with kids is just not that enjoyable to me as someone who is a football fan first, rather than a football game fan.
To add another dimension, "non-simulation" doesn't necessarily mean non-"be the footballer" or non-"be the manager" games. In gaming "simulation" often means "attempting to be realistic, a simulation of what it would *actually* be like", so FIFA may mean that they are working on less "realistic" games, and shifting towards more "arcady" games. Either way I agree with the conclusion, as much as I dislike EA and the FIFA series of games, it is the best "be the footballer" series we have, and unless FIFA partner with an unrealistically experienced and talented developer, this was a mistake fueled by selfishness
More like mistake fueled by greed. Anyway EA will release a game and it does have licenses and it’ll sell well.
Just gotta wait and see what FIFA offer
I might dust off my old PS2 and play some PES6.
OP Kaka and Adriano's left foot.. Terrific game.
I still remember a two leg fixture between me and my bro. My brother as France, me as Czech Rep.
Game ended about 6-7, when I sent into the second leg down by 4-1. Greatest comeback since Jesus, but kept letting goals in.
Then, last 10 minutes, gave a pen away and got a red. LUCKILY I saved the pen and the guy I tacked stayed down, when he came back on his condition was orange, so had to get subbed.
I still remember the ping up to Baros, cool cushioned volley. Caressed the ball like a porcelain buttock. I was going full Simeone with my celebrations.
Those matches mattered more than the real life CL back then
Except for demos, I have never played a more recent football game than PES 2018. But I play a bunch of PES on emulator (I want to keep these DVDs safe). These games had a more direct gameplay allowing for more simple and immediate fun, imo.
I've been playing FIFA since FIFA 1995 and all this FUT nonsense really turned me off. It's been possible to avoid it to a degree, but it does feel more and more like a scam every year I play it, to the point where I typically bought a FIFA every three years, rather than each iteration (as I used to from 95-03). The idea of a true challenger to EA's game would be exciting; ProEvo went from a genuine competitor to an also-ran. Crazy to think that in the 90s and 00s it was normal to see 5-10 competing football games released each year. I don't expect a return to that, but would love to see a new FIFA that brings some new ideas to the table, and a dev team that, at least for the first few years, really gives a damn about improving it year-on-year.
PES was better than FIFA on the Xbox One/ PS4 generation
My first FIFA was FIFA Soccer on the SNES but I really started to play since 06. Tbh I liked Ultimate Team in the first few years, it wasn't all a fairy tale and they used fun realistic cards and I could live with team of the seasons. FIFA 14 World Cup mode for example, was so much fun. Players were realisticely upgraded based on their form. After that they started the integrate more and more cards to attract the new generation. It will never be the same because the older generation moved on and the younger generation still loves FUT fairy tale.
Stopped playing FIFA along time ago when I realised the minimal changes EA were making to the game every year. For instance changing the way the net bulges when scoring a goal, player hairstyles, and transfers could have all been updated through a patch on the current game. Also the relentless money making model buying packs for a game you already paid for in the first place lol.
gave up around fifa 13-14 for this reason, I couldn't understand how people bought the game each year
They made the defending much harder.
Fifa 12 was the last I really played.
Tried Fifa 16 and it was torture
This is great for football games. EA ruined the brand with Ultimate teams by getting young kids hooked to gambling mechanics. This caused a lack of innovation, hopefully we get a reset like the switch from PES.
Honestly, this might be good. EA and FIFA might have to do something mildly innovative for once.
Exactly..
Only innovation EA is gonna do is with the name.
@@lazydog5065 If its like the NFL games they'll probably forget to change the assets they are so lazy. Search for it on TH-cam.
I think "mildly" may be well over what they will actually end up doing.
Infantino: "non-simulation game"
Also infantino: we are releasing a simulation game
probably wants to start FIFA card and mobile app games :P
I mean they're probably just gonna release both types
@@A_Baguette_ What does "non simulation" even mean ?
Something that isn't like FIFA games or FM or PES. It could just be football themed or just contain certain parts of the game like penalties
@@A_Baguette_ Even parts of the game would be too close to a simulation. My logical explanation is that Gianni Infantino doesn't have a clue as to what he is talking about.
As long as I don't have to play with "Mason Mountbatten" playing for "Blue Football Club London" I'm okay.
Petition for tifo to start making the “sensible transfer” series as the transfer window is starting soon
And he did make it!
If FIFA are smart they’ll partner up with either Konami - to make PÉS great again - or 2K. Either one would be really good especially if 2k can create a similar career mode to the one in NBA 2k games. As for Konami it would be good as they can get all the license of the teams, leagues, etc. Hopefully then they’ll fix their player faces and graphics.
If anything they should team up with Sony. MLB the Show is arguably the best sports video game for almost 5 years straight. 2K is a hit or miss and is also as bad from a microtransaction standpoint.
@@alvin8609 i dont understand this microtransaction stuff. The choice is there to buy your skill points in my career but it only gets you so far. You still need to play to unlock more potential skill points.
At least they give a story and cutscenes for mycareer compared to fifas lazy career modes
EA own those licenses. Konami isn't getting anywhere near them.
Why not Codemasters?
@@mikelward because they’re owned by EA 😂
I don’t think FIFA realizes the sheer amount of RESEARCH that is done yearly JUST on animation tech by companies like EA and Ubisoft. And that’s just one aspect of development, yes an extremely important one, especially for a sports game, but imagine trying to find a studio that has the development infrastructure to take on a entirely new franchise let alone find the right talent for all areas of game development.
Edit: the only real comparable option I see would be Take-Two Interactive (2K studio)
They just want to license the name out to different game dev companies who will/are already doing all that, its not like they are launching their own game dev team.
@@KlokStudios I guess my point is that EA has developed talent that has worked on this type of stuff for a long time with a lot of funding, so the number of development teams on that same level is pretty limited
100% they agree a deal before the next release. FIFA are completely out of pocket and expected EA to roll over. Having said that watching these two footballing villains mess up is music to my ears.
The biggest probem with the FIFA license is and always has been exclusivity. This creates the monopoly we've seen to this day and for which all but the shareholder suffers
@@hai2 I should be more clear, it's the licences to use real teams, players, kits, stadiums and pkayer likeness. Many of these deals are exclusive so no one else can use them.
@@Demetriiuz No. it’s just the name and fifa World Cup. These licenses are agreed privately with the individuals, football clubs and leagues
@@Demetriiuz Yeah you have no clue. FIFA has no control over club team licenses.
@@Demetriiuz that's not how it works. These are separate deals
@@Demetriiuz nope ur completely wrong
Glad to hear Iain Macintosh doing the voiceover right after i listened to the FM Podcast. ♥
We don’t play FIFA for just the name, it’s what is inside the game, let’s wait for who will offer that.
Gotta be honest licensing is an important part for me. If more teams start to have fake names it’ll break the immersion
that's the last thing you will say about FIFA lol
@@TheBake1986 that’s true but FIFA doesn’t own the exclusive rights to the names of all teams, don’t you see with Juventus and Camp Nou.
@@marcforte6949 Yeah exactly, and I’m worried it going to go further in the future. At least with games like Football Manager you can mod the names.
What's inside the game has been dogshit for so many years now though?
Smart thing to do would be partner with Konami, they have a superior gameplay experience and it’s been that way imo for so many years but they don’t have the rights and the money to compete with EA from a marketing pov so partner with FIFA and maybe name recognition helps sell their next game. Konami wouldn’t obviously abandon the efootball idea cause that was a misstep.
Just make career mode actually good again Fifa, EA, whatever. That’s all I care about and it seems it’s last thing on these developers minds 😔
I'm all for a dose of competition. But Fifa contacting publishers and investors for a new game in 2024 sounds VERY optimistic and maybe even very naïve. For any game to realistically challenge the game EA has build (and rereleases yearly) would probably take longer to build.
2k did it w/nba
i gave up on FIFA around FIFA 18 as every new release only catered to people who play ultimate team so I'm looking forward to whatever this brings
The last FIFA game I bought was fifa19 to complete the Hunter Trilogy after that I gave up on FIFA
Champ manager 05 was just weird. I had my RB duplicate once, a CDM/CM twice, and three players randomly despawn entirely mid season
I still took Blackpool to the Prem
I've been with Champ Man since I think "Championship Manager '93/'94 Season Data Up-Date Disk" (or "v1.3" which I seem to remember was what my cracked copy was called) on the Amiga 1200, though I'm sure I remember playing in the 92/93 season, so maybe my mate had the original (which wouldn't surprise me) and I didn't get a copy off him until he had the "End of 1994 Season Data Up-Date Disk". We'd play loads round his or mine and I'd do entire seasons (sometimes two) through the night rather than homework and sleep, though I think that annoyed my big sister with all the clicking in the dark then the grinding of the A1200 as the data was processed for the following season and I got to find out which star players had left for Italy. That was the only version I ever had any success at, with multiple league titles for Norwich.
Champ Man 2 was played round another mate's with a good half a dozen of us, though that slowed things down but we got to know each others tactics & teams and play their matches for them if they were busy - certainly preferable to putting them on holiday and watching the AI coach go bananas with the team selection & formation. By then though most saves I'd soon be sacked and would spend my turn applying for all the available jobs, which felt somewhat of a mirroring of my post-college drop-out brief spell on the Dole.
Roll on CM3 and by CM01/02 I had my own flat & PC and this remains my favourite version (and I'm not alone there). My disc is still on the shelf and I did return to it a few years back, but sadly it'd still bug out once you'd got yourself invested in a save. That was the pinnacle of a fine balance between available depth of detail and enjoyable gameplay, without getting bogged down or overwhelmed.
I don't think I ever made it to CM4 (03/04 being the last SI CM). Years later I've moved in with my partner and she's got into CM via my 01/02 disc. She then gets me CM 2006 (CM5 being the first in-house Eidos) and I had to politely explain the importance of the SI/Eidos split and then wean her off it with FM 2007. I never touched it. She claimed to prefer the CM version so I tried her again a few years later with FM 2010. I had a good few years away from it all but she dragged me back in with FM 2017. I struggled and that's when I returned to CM01/02.
I'm sat here at half four in the morning staring at four large paragraphs detailing my CM/FM history and wondering why I bothered to type it all out in a reply to you specifically. I guess I felt you'd relate to the obsessive nature the game fosters...

Really enjoy these more businessy focused Tifo videos
What FIFA doesn't understand is that making a game from the ground up takes years and years....certainly with football and all the interactions being done in a matter of seconds.
EA has so many gameplay options as well Career, pro clubs, Online, Co-op seasons and what not more. FIFA has to offer the same + better to pull away customers. It would at least take 5/6 years before they have a product that comes close to what EA already has.
yeah probably i will be playing ea sports fc for next couple of years cause were already used to its mechanics ,and ultimate team
Well said. I for one welcome the competition. EA does a major overhaul with each console generation and then it is just roster updates - Or so it seems.
I however doubt FIFA will be willing to invest the 5 - 6 years it will take to develop a proper game. I'd wager we will only see a maximum of two releases before they pull the plug. But who knows.
Good gameplay might just be their niche because let's face it, EA sucks at applying the simplest of football fundamentals. The game from EA is more of an arcade approach than it is real football. If FIFA can somehow focus on providing a unique but realistic football experience plus online options I'm positive EA will dropped in the mud.
Well these days I find mobile football games more realistic than EA's, so I don't think FIFA has that high a standard to match. In my opinion.
@@StarAmbience42 i reckon you dont play ultimate team

Finally some competition to push development. I wish the same would happen with Madden. I'm sure there are other competitors such as the 2k franchise that can give EA a challenge. It will be interesting to see who FIFA partners with.

@@ManWalksDogs 😂awesome, I'll smash my way there by showing every player a red card. Football may be a game, but I'm not playing.
Ideally, several big companies would have permission to as many leagues, clubs and players as possible and it would be gameplay competing only. FIFA and PES would've been much better if they both had the same licenses. Years ago there were several games.
While FM-CM example is an interesting one, there is also other examples where IP's switched developers and were still successful with a new engine. The UFC games switching from THQ to EA being a big one. Let's not forget that there are other developers creating football games, who is to say FIFA wont just buy the UFL team?
I just hope for a better career mode...
I hope the split means more games with more options.
i did that to my controller today playing rivals
If we can get one thing out of this i hope it's a killer Career Mode only game with as much depth as possible. I'm not holding my breath but that's the dream, something as close to FM but playable matches.

It's honestly a battle of corrupt companies.
Not to mention, FIFA (the game series) has become utter dogshit when it comes to gameplay. If it weren't for licenses & modes, the game would be dead.
I doubt that FIFA can make a title that will be better than EA Sports, as bad as it's become. Unless they line up with 2K or another company. I'd like to be wrong.
there is no company on this planet other than maybe konami that could even make a FIFA 24 happen in time. you can't build a game of that scale with so little time and succeed. I bet some FIFA executives were like "we'll just make our own game, how hard could it be...".
Hopefully it can give improvements
Ive dominated fifa for too long now online has become too easy
this video isn’t as non biased as all the tifo videos normally are
2k needs to partner with Fifa to make a new game
let’s face the fact , Ultimate Team will carry EA Sports FC , that’s why EA aren’t too worried about FIFA’s branding , Other companies may create another football game but they won’t be able to recreate something similar to Ultimate Team , it may not be perfect but it makes it super addictive
Can’t believe people actually like that segment of the game it’s so wack I just want a great career mode hope of these two companies understand that’s where the bread will be coming from

Could you do a video on why theres no Brazilian League (Brasileirão) on FIFA games?
FIFA could partner with Konami and release something awesome and competitive. EA FIFA series is filled with bugs and sometimes unplayable. Unrealistically making unnecessary changes. Tactical defending, timed shots. All very silly concepts. While not focusing on match engine, UI and smooth player experience itself.
The only way is for FIFA to partner with Konami. Will be interesting for all parties.
The Eidos/Sports Interactive split sprang to mind when I first saw this vid. Add in Yukes leaving the WWE 2k series a couple of years back, the staff who replaced them tried there best but 2k20 was such a disaster in terms of bugs etc that they didn't even release 2k21!, they had to take time and miss a whole year of potential sales!
It was a big decision by both the devs and WWE to skip a year. But credit to them, they seemed to have learned some valuable lessons. I know the comparative bar was set super low, but WWE 2K22 is leaps and bounds better than WWE 2K20.
There seems to be a ticking sound near the end of the video
The first major football game to release with $12 seasonal passes for new years, instead of new games, will win this battle.
If ea is gonna continue investing only in FUT while neglecting the career modes who knows maybe fifa can claim this market
and they will do exactley this it wouldnet be suppriese for me if the new EA game has only 'FUT after the spitt and nothing more for the same price
Couldn’t watch all this. The narrator sounds funky, in a bad way. Sounds like that one guy with his voice all muffled.

His delivery is too stilted. He's the narrator equivalent of someone overacting in a movie.
These next couple of years will be very interesting in terms of the upcoming football games that will be available to everyone. EA Sports FC, the new FIFA game, eFootball, as well as the new Goals and UFL games that are currently in development.
The last footbal game i played got the 1998 worldcup on its cover ...
Watching Football is enogh 4 me.
Looking at other franchises like Star Wars ditching EA, there has been a public outcry over their abuse of exclusive rights to just get money. Hopefully 2K gets the contract, they have the grit to create something great and provide substantial competition.
FIFA 2k24 doesn't sound so bad also
"lol" said everyone, "lmao"
Gem of a comment
EA Sports FC should only release a new iteration of the franchise every few years. Go for a season pass style system with the FUT so that every year a reset or wipe would happen for leagues, positions, cards, etc. (although previous season cards could be stored in a binder or collection tab or something to look back at). Then properly innovate the gameplay, movement, AI, tactics, career mode realism, FUT modes/challenges, Pro Clubs revamp, etc.
Concerned to see how the gameplay is affected by this decision.
I know everyone hated the Super League and I know everyone has a love/hate relationship with EA Sports, but both of these situations are born out of pure greed from FIFA. If these types of major splits have been attempted, with BOTH citing that FIFA's greed and revenue sharing are unfathomable...I wonder what that means for the future of the actual sport. Scary times for football.
There is a counter argument which you’ve omitted. If FIFA were/are smart, they’d have opened talks prior to their decision to part with EA. Don’t underestimate the motivating pull of buckets of money for a top developer to get involved. A lot depends on the IP of the teams and the players and who will definitely get those. If EA has secured the IP not just for the leagues but the teams and players, then FIFA are stuffed.
EA’s FIFA is not the best. For example, full manual control is not possible. Matching algorithms won’t allow games between full manual players. Thus there’s very little skill when the computer is augmenting the player. I’d be happier to see a game with full manual control, no rip off in game purchases and no annual updates where the only change is the year. If FIFA has partnered with Socios and say 2k, then EA will have a fight on their hands.
EA have already announced that every partnership they have is continuing.
I wouldn't quite say it was true there wasn't social media when edios/sports interactive split. Yes no twitter/Facebook, but we did still have the Internet in those days so to imply most people didn't know it wasn't the same game is a bit misleading I think. I would imagine the sales figures would back this up too
What an amazing stadium in the background 🤩
Nice video but please change this narrator.
You can stop watching these video
Agreed. The script itself is fine but the narrator is obnoxious. I didn't think it was possible for someone narrating a video to overacf but somehow he manages it.
This makes (inadvertently) EA sound like the good guys. Far from it, thier football games have been stagnant for many years with all game modes except the gambling simulator taking a back seat. There is no innovation, the gameplay had barely changed in years and the AI has zero variation and is blatantly scripted to further prop up the gambling mode.
Damn I'll miss those FIFA playlists 🥲
Please! I need the name of this backtrack 😓🔥
Btw, even back in 2003, gamers were well aware of the split… at least I was and I, as a young kid, went with the brand that owned the data and intelligence. It was really a simple decision, even back then for a ten year old so good luck to FIFA.
If FIFA (the organization) totally bomb with their new game, they'll have to find more creative ways to be corrupt to cover their losses.
The video game series was the only thing that kept people from thinking of "corruption" first when FIFA was mentioned.
EA is really good at attaching excitement to players. It’s magical getting to control the players that you watch and the global stars. Every other aspect of there fifa series needs massive work.
The simple answer is that EA is cheap. From robbing consumers every year and profiting of ultimate team with lack luster gameplay, Fifa saw their income they generated every year and increase their offer for the original deal. Either way both Madden and Fifa will bank on variables such as the death of John Madden and the last Fifa game to push another sets of unfixed broken games.
All fun and games till FIFA and Konami partner up 💀🔥
lol
Efootball FIFA 2024
I hope this competition will finally make some good games
i thought this was an emp lemon video from the thumbnail
"EA SPORTS FC" doesn't feel right.
Hopefully you'll still play it if it proves to be better than whatever FIFA comes up with. We should be giving our hard earned money to the game that focuses on the enjoyment of the players the most, not the one with the best name.
Infantino the infant
Saying that Konami had the "Expertise" got a chuckle out of me. That company has shifted focus from gaming to gambling years ago.
Watching out for this UFL ting. Might be mad🤯
EA deserved this. I don’t know why I feel happy.
There are 3 big players in the football gaming market EA and whatever their game is called, Konami and football manager.
Loads of other games have been released and failed along the way, those 3 regardless of title will always set the standard in their particular markets. FIFA’s new game will either be a 2K half baked flop that takes years to get to the standard or some other developer that’ll flop and fold.
...you surely didnt count mobile gaming,
Top Eleven is still kick-in
@@m.aununu.musaffa7466 top 11 is hardly on par with the other serious contenders on the scene. It’s exactly the sort of level this new fifa game will end up at
It's a kinda difficult marked of trying to revolutionise as the main players are just casual gamers and want the same, but with improved quality.
Finding someone that can beat EAs "new" franchise must have an insane good new idea that somehow can get all casual players over without changing too much, but still making something new. As making the same game only better will never work as it will take multiple years of trial and error and you might have lost the main player base before that.
The model of restructuring, upgrading engines, money grabs the on an annual basis was always going to fail down the line. Unless you are trying to play competitive or buying your first ever fifa, most don’t buy every fifa every year anyway. They are better off releasing a title they can update over time.
I never thought I would be siding with FIFA in any situation. Electronic Arts has been taking advantage of its position for well over a decade. Every iteration of the game has very few updates to gameplay and AI, with most changes being in updated visuals, and stats on players while charging the customer full price every year. The only meaningful fix updates happened to Ultimate Football which happens to be the part of the game that makes the most money.
