FIFA's indoor mode was football stripped back to its joyful core – so how'd it come about, and why'd it disappear?
FIFA and the next-generation gaming technology studio Mythical Games today announced a collaboration to launch FIFA Rivals – a groundbreaking, officially licensed, football mobile video game.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino teases the future of FIFA games in a brand-new interview, and NBA 2K24 studio 2K Games might be behind it.
There’s PES and now we’ll have FC25 and FIFA so yes, but it is no longer true, shit is about to get real!
Now if we only had two viable options for Basketball and American football we’d be on to something.
If what we've heard is true, the reason FIFA games don't change is literally because of FIFA itself rejecting nearly every pitch for new features and mechanics.
Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.
"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
guess you don't remember how bad those Sony sports titles were in the 90s. The only exception would be NBA Shootout '97 which was phenomenal.
I never liked sports games personally, except for ESPN Extreme Games, that was fun for me back in the day.
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.
