📗 Tifo's new book, "How to Watch Football" is now available internationally: linktr.ee/tifobook
In 2023, the most popular sports video game franchise in the world had to change its name. FIFA, as it was known, became EA FC.
What began simply as a negotiating position in a licensing dispute, turned into one of the costliest decisions in the history of football.
James Montague explains, illustrated by Craig Silcock.

PES 15 was the start of a mini renaissance, PES 16 and onwards really was a new golden age in terms of gameplay - but alas, it was all a little too late, as the commercial war was long lost. The eFootball rebrand itself wasn't an issue, the half-assed F2P change in direction was...

I think there lays massive potential, but Konami needs to full send into market, add more modes, listen to the community more and they will get it. Also there comes new football games in UFL and Goals, so finally maybe by collective effort we make EA actually invest in the game more and it will only profit whole community, coz right now for PS5-gen we didn't really have a fun football game.

2K getting into football can only be a good thing, Since the gap widened on PES, EA Sports have been resting on their laurels more and more, the quality control of the last few games in particular, including EAFC24 have been nothing short of abysmal, with replicable, often game-breaking bugs and broken features that any semi-competent playtesting team would have ironed out on the first run, somehow persisting across multiple releases, particularly in the game's now severely neglected career modes. I'd go as far as to describe the EA Sports development team as the ONLY team in an industry defined by poor labour conditions and crunch cycles to be practically stealing their wages, because there's no real man hours going into these games anymore. the game's still selling because there's no real alternative for that football gaming fix either 2K provide a more competent alternative, or EA are forced to actually exert some effort again to stave off the erosion of their monopoly.

2K won't be able to compete with EA. Unless they make Fifa focused on gameplay and features, but not monitisation. 2K is just as bad if not worse than EA when it comes to this stuff, not to mention their NBA games are absolutely panned for being cash cows

PES used to have better gameplay and physics than the old FIFAs did, but they still could never compete with EA's FIFA games because they couldn’t get the rights to players and clubs. It won't matter if 2K makes a superior game when EA holds the exclusive rights to many of the Top 5 football leagues.

Now I am waiting for Madden and NBA to get pissy at EA. What do you think those games will be renamed as when it happens?

@aceking_offsuit Месяц назад

1. EA hasn't put out an NBA game since Live 19. 2K are the ones putting out NBA games now. 2. Madden is a similar situation to FIFA in that the name isn't the main selling point; it's the license with the NFL. If the Madden estate asks for too much, I can easily see EA changing their name to NFL Ultimate Team 25 or whatever.

Konami and FIFA would need a revenue or profit split deal, I imagine. Even them FIFA will still want too much money and control. FIFA's demands were greater than the value they brought to EA's series, I can't imagine they will lower them too much for the next developer. Either way the biggest problem will be the licensing of players, clubs and leagues. EA FC sales show people don't care about the FIFA name.

PES used to have better gameplay and physics than the old FIFAs did, but they could never compete because they couldn’t get the rights to players and clubs.

How are FIFA and Konami going to compete if they can't even get 3 of the top 5 leagues and many others in their game when the game console crowd isn't able to just mod them in and are the biggest buyers of football games?
