I literally can't wait for this. I'm already so hype for the memes, the busted looking gifs, the weird dev stories. Ahhh it's going to be a nightmare and I'm so ready.

I wonder if some players who are not following news on the internet, but just buy and play FIFA every year, and there are many of them, will buy the next FIFA game by inertia.

That would be fucking shit

is the fifa game even going to be out by the time ea sports fc releases? if it isn't then there's basically 0% chance they can capitalize on the confusion since everyone going to buy the yearly fifa would be told that it's just ea sports fc now.

They would have to be completely off the grid, not watch any TV, YouTube, browse the net, be on social media or play FIFA without having the PC/Console connected to the internet.
EA will probably have a huge marketing campaign for EA FC and FIFA's game is still going to take a few years to come out.

Can't wait for FIFA's egame for boys and girls.

I can not believe that his name is Infantino while looking and acting like a giant baby. Takes a special kind of oblivious, detached, elitist, arrogant worm to say stuff like "me deciding to run for FIFA president was a hardship I took on inspired by Rwanda fighting genocide." That he won exemplifies what a shitty joke FIFA continues to be.

How many scummy and exploitive monetization schemes can fit in one game?

I already feel sorry for the mobile studio contracted for this

I'll probably buy a copy of EA FC when there's a new switch or I finally buy a current gen console. Love the Volta mode. Mario Strikers will hold me till then though.

Hasn't EA Fifa at this point been built upon and refined engines made from years of development work?

How are they gonna shit out a game for October time if they haven't been working on it for years?

My prediction is that they will fail to crack the console market due to EA's dominance and after a couple of years will resort to just releasing awful, predatory mobile games

How predatory are their monetisation attempts going to be.

I can see this just being a glorified mobile game on all devices.

Really curious about the developer for this one. Konami is the only one I can think of with some good experience in this area.

The sentence "The new FIFA game - the FIFA 25, 26, 27 and so on - will always be the best egame for any girl or boy, we will have news on this very soon."

Says all that needs to be said about this. LMFAO!

What is EA's Fifa team doing now? Are they making a not Fifa football game?

Let's be real, it's most likely going to be a MTX-filled mobile game. But if they really do try to make a big-budget console simulation game, it's gonna be a disaster.

No matter how you feel about how FIFA simulates the game of soccer, you have to admit that it's a functional, playable game enjoyed by millions. EA has had years to work on the FIFA series.

FIFA will be trying to build a new sports game from scratch in about a year. Remember all of EA's attempts to start a new NBA game series? It didn't end well—and they actually have experience making sports games!

EAFC, which will be the exact same game except without the World Cup license.
Losing the FIFA license won't harm EA at all, it will actually be better for them as they won't have to pay 150M$ a year to FIFA.

Yeah, but who's going to make it, Mister Fifa president. It's taken EA literally decades to get to the point where the game is now. You can't just take any developer, give them a big bag of money and say "make something as good as that".

Decades is generous, considering how FIFA had periods of barely changing anything or even removing features between years it's giving them too much credit, generally changes were more noticeable with generational leaps and even that is questionable in some cases.

If FIFA wanted to immediately get into the market, they couldn't do any wrong by partnering with Konami. You'd like to think this would provide Konami with a bigger budget and team, alongside having the sway of football's governing body with acquiring more licencing down the line.

They'll probably want Konami to pay them millions for licensing their name and the world cup name🤷‍♂️

Fifa wanted EA to pay them 1 billion over 4 years.
