FIFA 21 reveal set for Thursday at 5PM CEST, cover art athletes leaked

AlanOC91 · Jul 22, 2020

I'm assuming this is gonna come to Steam? Haven't picked up FIFA since 17 but tempted again.
I've always bought it on PC which has had it's own share of problems (FUT Market completely out of whack compared to Consoles). I'm hoping that having it on Steam will help a little.

Mildly amusing that taa and haaland are on this.

Why? They are clearly going for young stars and TAA is one of the best in the Premier League. Same thing for Haaland, he was probably the most hyped player this year.

Birbos · Jul 22, 2020

Wait we haven't seen the next CoD yet? Lmao it will definitely be at the Xbox Showcase and you know what that means.

Modern Warfare multiplayer was revealed on August 1st last year.

Yes although (sorry for my biased opinion) Simeone style of play does not benefit him.

That's a weak excuse. Didin't benefict Griezmann either and he transformed a good player in a Ballon de Bronce that scored 30 goals per season.

It's up to the player.

Mason next year.

Damn was Felix really that bad...?

Yep barely made an impact this season

Cheerleading marketing deals good grief lol. The console war is in full flow.

As a Liverpool fan I'm happy for Trent but I hope all the praise he's getting doesn't go to his head.

They did this at the start of the gen and didn't help at all. Get Fifa marketing will not make a dent on Sony's market in Europe.

What did I miss on CoD? Also, those tags in the OP have PlayStation 4 gameplay, not Xbox One gameplay.
And yeah like someone pointed out, they had both at the start of this gen and it didn't help.
Edit: if you were implying CoD at tomorrow's Xbox showcase, Zhuge already implied that's not happening

ZhugeEX said:
Yeh, I wouldn't take what i said as a bad thing. Basically that if you want to see what XGS is working on you'll get a larger focus on that here. Rather than say the latest COD or Elden Ring trailer.

Some of the IP to be shown by XGS has either already been announced (for example Halo / Everwild) or is a sequel, or is based on existing Xbox franchise IP (for example [REDACTED])

people tend to forget that Fifa is tied to PlayStation. Playstation is the main sponsor of the champions league. no exclusive deal can beat that.

Mecha · Jul 22, 2020

In the code posted in the OP mentions PS4 gameplay, if marketing rights were with Xbox we wouldn't see PS4 gameplay.

I do not see that happening at all. Sony has always been the wiser of the bunch by marketing their Playstation brand in the UEFA Champion's League.

I agree FIFA the game is pretty much tied to PlayStation at this point, but

a) Champions League is a competition by UEFA, not FIFA

b) PlayStation is one of the main sponsors, not the main sponsor

I really don't think it will. Microsoft started this gen with the marketing deals for FIFA and it didn't really do anything at all. They even have exclusive ultimate team players. It seems like a bit of a waste to pay for FIFA marketing.

That was then (Xbox One was $100 more and had an awful PR stint), but now things don't quite look so bad with rumored Lockhart, dropping online paywall, and GamePass.

I get Joao Felix being in the cover, he records himself spending thousands on FIFA 20 Ultimate Team.

Would've been an excellent pick.

Zlatan deserves it more than Felix. Amazing at his age what he's doing at Milan.

Hes still the third most expensive player of all time. He is 20, they are clearly going for the younger players in the hope that they will be more prominent this year, although i guess he is the odd one out in that the rest are clearly already established as successful players for their current clubs.

Flex1212 · Jul 22, 2020

What's up with these MS Paint looking covers? Horrible.

I has played PES6 last night and for me, thats still the best football game. Best mix of realism and FUN.

Honestly I'd rather have a PES 6 port on the switch than a FIFA 21 legacy edition

Spoiler alert: you play football.

I haven't played a recent FIFA in years, doubt I missed much except the squad changes. We just pop in one of the old ones.

So the rumours ended up being true.

Came to post this. WTF. I quite like the Madden covers but this is insane.

ekka4shiki · Jul 22, 2020

If I don't know football, those covers make him like somekind of legend or something. I mean he's good, but lol this is laughable...

Deleted member 58846 · Jul 22, 2020

Maybe it can be good this year?

Miggy · Jul 22, 2020

Deleted member 13077 · Jul 22, 2020

If PS still have the marketing deal then the pre-show tomorrow might not just be MS stuff?

Wise · Jul 22, 2020

Seems like Sony has the marketing deal after all?

Box covers are horrendous imo

All hail to the French King!

i really like the standard and champions edition personally.

It doesn't matter. Football games are synonymous to PlayStation and PlayStation is synonymous to football games. Been this way for decades and likely won't change for awhile.

Yo... LMAO. This looks like they pulled an image on IG and fucking turned a black & white PS filter. How sway..

regenhuber · Jul 22, 2020

I kinda like the "localized cover athlete" approach.
Used to be standard back in the days.

Haaland = Germany (BVB) & Scandinavia
Trent = UK, Irleand etc.
Felix = Portugal, Spain
Mbappe = "Rest of the World" because World Cup winner, global mega star

surprised joao was picked considering he doesnt get any time on the pitch
