Full reveal trailer coming at July 13

For the uninitiated, "EA Sports FC" will be replacing EA's FIFA franchise because "the publisher decided it didn't want to "pay a premium" to license the FIFA branding."

Should have called it "I Can't Believe It's Not FIFA".

So is it the same thing without the word FIFA anywhere? As in they licensed the teams and the stadiums the same way they did before?

[–] Sudo 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, those are licensed separately, this is purely just the name of the game.

Damn that's crazy. Been playing Fifa for a million years. I wonder if the game is gonna change significantly or just the title?
