The series has become a seemingly irreversible constant in this industry and continues to sell in stratospheric numbers, and whether you love it or hate it, a football fan or not, pretty much everyone has played a FIFA game. So it does seem a little odd, on first inspection, to hear that there’s a free-to-play version of the game currently in beta on PC. FIFA World may not be the equivalent of its big brother, but that’s precisely why it’s much more interesting. Football games have, for many years now, followed the same ritualistic structure, but FIFA World represents an intriguing step in a new direction."
"EA's free-to-play titles are shutting down in 90 days."
I always meant to check out Battlefield Heroes, but I always ended up turning back to Team Fortress 2. I guess I'm not the only one.
Yeh as far ad f2p goes the only ones I ever find myself going back to are Team Fortress 2 and Robocraft. Grow tired too quickly of everything else.
Just simply means EA's cash flow isn't flowing as much as they wanted. This works for sequels but can ruin certain games permanently!
I have a friend who recently picked up a PS3 (for the first time) with a bunch of games, one of them being Lord of the Rings Conquest (EA title). She was disappointed to discover that MP in Conquest doesn't work at all. Turns out the servers shut down a long time ago and as a result, MP is completely crippled on consoles (except on PC, via Tunngle).
I'd say the same. I went as far as to get ready/sign up but never got around to actually playing it.
It actually wasn't bad for a free to play game. Probably one of the best f2p racing games I've ever played.
From what I heard there was a lot of cheating going on. Maybe there shutting it down due to this?
Such a good feeling to know a game I'm still playing 3 and a half years later is still making enough money to keep going for many years yet :)
I dont wish that they were gone but in against many of their practices. Like what they did with BF4 for example or what they did with Hardline.
Just because EA gave me Plant Vs Zombies for free I still am able to disagree with them.
EA SPORTS today announced that FIFA World, a free-to-play* football game for PC, launched a new gameplay engine, the game’s biggest update yet.
EA Sports has released a new set of screenshots for its free to play soccer title, FIFA WORLD.
