FIFA wants $1b for 4 years and more from EA *update* FIFA pulling exclusivity

[Anerdyblackguy]

I don’t blame fifa one bit. 2K doubled up with the NBA for 1.1 billion over six years so a billion over four seems about right

Still, theres a lesser of evils.

In this particular instance, there isn't as one is just as corrupt as the other.

NFL needs to strong-arm EA

Fifa is only the brand of the World Cup and a popular name. Without them, EA still has the rights to all the leagues and players. Nothing would change

That's what I'm thinking if EA is only going to lose international teams and competitions they will be fine. EA Sports Soccer 23 or whatever they call it will still sell truckloads. This may even force them to include more expansive in-game editing.

the only thing is i feel like they're gonna have to have two names, football for international and soccer for US.

Came in to say this. I hope they're watching FIFA like

fukk EA. Couldn't have happened to a nicer video game company.

If this results in a better soccer game than the dogshyt EA puts out every year I'm all for it.

 

[O³ (O cubed)]

does konami still have decent soccer games?

No. They made it free to play with microtransactions. It is an awful game.

Strong arming shyt like what the MLB pulled with Sony.
Only thing is they thought Xbots bought games

I hoped MLB recouped on the distribution of the game to Xbox.

It's the FIFA branding name though.

EA still has rights to the leagues so even if they dropped the FIFA name, they still have all the leagues and players.

Only thing they'd lose is using the FIFA name and of course the World Cup which is probably why FIFA believes EA will pay up.

The FIFA name isn't that big of a deal in EA's mind I believe. The only black eye would be losing the rights for the World Cup branding that FIFA owns.
