With most of the professional athletes taking intermission, or in recess, or whatever it’s called. Summer vacation! That’s it. With most athletes on summer vacation, and with the Olympics over, there isn’t enough exciting sports action to keep us fans entertained. Yeah, it’s baseball season, and this will probably come off as very un-American, but I think baseball is dreadfully boring. It’s hard for me to stay awake when a vast majority of the players are either standing around the field, picking their noses waiting for the ball to be hit towards them, or are sitting on the bench waiting for their turn to swing (batter, batter). And growing up on the north side of Chicago, one could describe my relationship with baseball as a constant dose of depression. But fortunately, us gamers can turn to our games to fill that void in our hearts that only sports can fill. That, or go outside and actually play some sports, but we all know that’s not fucking likely. So let’s look at the top sport...

"I think EA would have responded quite badly to that"
If there’s an organization that is more corrupt than EA, it’s for sure FIFA.
I also agree that EA has done more for FIFA on brand awareness too. I know of people that thought FIFA was an EA brand similar to Madden instead of their own independent organization.
Probably a good call on Sony's part given the relationship they needed to build with ea over time and given the era if EA didn't want something they found ways around it such as building their own unlicensed games and bypassing console copyright protection on 16 bit systems to avoid paying licensing
the Fifa people are some of the scummiest people there is, even outside of the gaming industry.
good on that sony ceo for actually talking to EA first and letting them know what happened.
While EA confirmed that its football title will lose FIFA Licensing starting next year, there are ten companies that can acquire the license.
First I don't think ms would get the nod, they wouldn't be able to get away with it being exclusives. Second it's to big of a game to just put on gamepass and call it a day. I think Konami , sega or 2k could do it justice.
2K are the best option they also just purchased The Top Eleven Developer's in 2021.
Even if you get the license, what matters is getting the clubs and leagues that matter to fans. I'd pay good money to anyone who can get every team in the Top 5 Leagues and their stadiums to boot. EA has come close.
