CVG: The wildest thing EA Sports could probably do for FIFA would be to rebuild the footballing faces of 1966, wash the screen in black and white and call it FIFA Flashback, or something a little less camp.
Instead, by the very nature of its subject matter, the next iteration of any sports sim will always be a revisit to the same pitch, court, ring or track, with updated names, a graphical upgrade and a handful of game engine tweaks.
EA Sports dropped their first gameplay trailer for College Football 25 today and the game looks truly amazing. Buried in the details of the game hype, however, is a significant letdown for those who play online dynasty (a significant portion of the userbase).
Following the release of EA Sports FC 24, the publisher seems to have removed FIFA 14 up to 22 from major digital storefronts.
“Virtual Creations” from Nike's .swoosh WEB3 Platform will be integrated into EA titles.
Nike has struck a deal with Electronic Arts that paves the way for the introduction of NFTs to the publisher’s sports games.
You gotta love EA. They've always got their finger on the pulse of the gaming community in regards to the wants and desires of the players /s
EA: We need a new way to be voted the worst company
Nike: Have you tried child slave labor? No?... well how about a Jordan NFT. We will even throw in Chinese LeBron NFTs for free!
Can they even read the room? The world wide gaming room filled with gamers. No one wants this. They know they will probably get away with putting NFTs in their sport games.
How could they not know this is the wrong ass move. If EA survive this which they will, they are seriously untouchable. Too many casuals play their games and dont know what happening or even give a dam
How is Nike still surviving?
People talk about justice this justice that but are so self absorbed that they will continue to support these companies so they can have their neat little things.
At the end of the day , everything the plebs say is all a lie.
I find it interesting how they claim how hard it is to do sporting sequels. Thing is, sporting sequels have it real easy.. they just need to tweak and add a few new marketable gameplay things and the fans will lap it up. In terms of production costs to profits ratio, I reckon fifa is probably top of the pile alongside other EA sports games.
It'd be nice to see them invest some more resources so we don't just get the same old career mode reskinned each year (I thought fifa 11s career was terrible with the awful player growth). I've always wondered what it'd be like if they put an rpg like twist on it where you gain experience in matches for doing various things and level up.. they could use it to replace the rather boring (in my opinion) virtual pro system .
I think ultimate team was a great implementation however they only bothered adding that as they knew it'd end up making them as much as if not more than the actual game itself. I'd love it for them to invest those sort of resources in new innovative game modes to really make you rethink how football games can be played (like fifa clubs).
Ofcourse seeing as it's EA I doubt they'll bother putting resources into it simply because they know they don't need to.
Personally i want a football game that is not realistic.I want it to be the WWE All stars of football.
