From VGC: "Electronic Arts has released the FIFA 23 mobile app, providing eligible players early access to FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) 23.
The FIFA 23 companion app is now available for iOS and Android, and its release follows the launch of the FIFA 23 web app earlier this week.
The web and mobile apps let players open packs and sell items in FUT 23 ahead of FIFA 23’s release next week."
PES and FIFA were the true football rivals of gaming for two decades, but the landscape of football games has changed dramatically in recent years. GameSpew looks back on the rivalry, and where the franchises are now.
No contest since 2012, PES/Pro Evo dominates FIFA in gameplay but fails in UX/UI and licenses. Graphics are a slight nod to FiFA.
Interesting read, some stuff not factually correct though.
EA didnt lose the rights to the name FIFA. They chose not to relicense due to the extortionate fee that they were being charged.
The bottom line is true though, EA are comfortable and put what feels like little to no effort into each release. There is still so much that can be done with this game and yet, we see so little.
PS5 sales jumped 197% in Europe over August 2022.
Sports games were not lacking on the Nintendo Switch, featuring a diverse collection of games that could appeal to both casual and hardcore gamers.
