The latest EA Sports update includes hijab in FIFA 23 after Morocco's Nouhaila Benzina makes World Cup history!
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.
Hahaha no way. They keep promoting the women's football side of this game, I'd love to see the stats on 'hours played'.
Whether it's fair or not, sports run on eyes on the screen and people in the stands. There are very few women's sports that are played with high level speed and skill compared to males, tennis and MMA are the only two that I know. This means no one is watching women's football or women's NBA , which also means that no one is really going to play FIFA's "history making world cup" mode. It isn't right, but that is the way it is.
Anything for a bit of easy PR.. meanwhile many of the game modes have gone untouched for years now, ask Pro Clubs players what they think of the current state of the game.
What they should do is improve the quality of the digital faces of women's soccer players, they are so ugly that hurts and the players that don't have the official faces are much much worse...
