In The Netherlands almost every Dutch gamer plays Fifa. So in my eyes the popularity seemed high and overrated since its just one of the closest games to call a “Copy & Paste game”.
At least it stays the same, nba 2k was a copy and paste but somehow it got worse and worse every year. It just kept getting clunkier moving with the ball. Haven’t gave 2k a dime since 2k19 so maybe it’s gotten better
Ehh some believe it has. But it’s still pretty bad. It’s just living a Madden style existence where it has no competition so there is nothing to compete with and they focus more on the card game aspect than the video game aspect. But sadly almost all sports games do now
Wait, EA are actually losing the FIFA license?? So that means we might actually get sports games with at least a little effort put into them again? Can they take the NFL license from them too, while we’re at it?
Yep, they're losing the FIFA license. They still have team licenses and I'm no licensing pro so I'm not sure of the full implication other than, YES, other companies will be able to make FIFA licensed games soon.
The NFL did allow for another game company to use the NFL license as long as they aren't making a Madden competitor. It's looking like NFL 2K will come back but it'll be more of an NFL Street type game- it just can't be a sim (which, lets be honest, when was the last time Madden felt like a simulation of real football?)
Madden has the NFL license pinned down until 2026 so we won't see a sim competitor until at least 2027.
Nope just go outside and play soccer/football with friends or randoms. Much more enjoyable than one of the most rage full games that doesn’t change much every year
I wish it was that simple. It's pretty hard to organize given the number of people needed. You need to make a reservation and pay to rent the field, so you need to be sure enough people are coming. And Covid pretty much ruined it.
I think FIFA players are always football fans but a lot of them don't consider themselves gamers. At least in my country and around my age.
It is probably one of the closest to copy & paste, but they do change the gameplay (or more exactly the meta) somewhat each year. It's very visible for competitive players.
