In a move that will shock absolutely nobody, EA Sports and FIFA have agreed a licensing deal that will run until 2022. This, of course, means the publisher will continue to develop fully kitted out football games for at least the next nine years.
The agreement also gives EA the right to publish FIFA World Cup games and run the FIFA Interactive World Cup.
Following the release of EA Sports FC 24, the publisher seems to have removed FIFA 14 up to 22 from major digital storefronts.
“Virtual Creations” from Nike's .swoosh WEB3 Platform will be integrated into EA titles.
Nike has struck a deal with Electronic Arts that paves the way for the introduction of NFTs to the publisher’s sports games.
You gotta love EA. They've always got their finger on the pulse of the gaming community in regards to the wants and desires of the players /s
EA: We need a new way to be voted the worst company
Nike: Have you tried child slave labor? No?... well how about a Jordan NFT. We will even throw in Chinese LeBron NFTs for free!
Can they even read the room? The world wide gaming room filled with gamers. No one wants this. They know they will probably get away with putting NFTs in their sport games.
How could they not know this is the wrong ass move. If EA survive this which they will, they are seriously untouchable. Too many casuals play their games and dont know what happening or even give a dam
How is Nike still surviving?
People talk about justice this justice that but are so self absorbed that they will continue to support these companies so they can have their neat little things.
At the end of the day , everything the plebs say is all a lie.
EA Sports is proposing a 10% revenue share for universities who agree to be in their College Football video game set to be released in July 2024. Schools who choose to participate will receive guaranteed payouts of between $10,000 and $100,000 per year.
Good idea but I expect the NCAA and college boards to swipe away all that money for themselves.
This means 2 things
1.Ultimate Team is Confirmed
2.They have some competition from another Studio
Bro, pay as much as you need to and don't be greedy, cuz I NEED my college football game back 🤣
It was the ONLY sports game I bought annually
more dumb AI's
This monopoly position is what holds back innovation in soccer games. You can't make a successful soccer game without having those licenses and while nobody is able to get those licenses EA can just release minor updates for 60€/$ per year and every soccer fan buys them because he can play with his favourite team. PES is the better soccer game because the devs have to work harder to get the communities attention but most people care only about licenses so they buy FIFA instead. That's one of the reasons why I hate EA these days.
