It looks like EA Sports FC is going to be more like FIFA 24 albeit under a different name.
After dropping its FIFA license last year, Electronic Arts confirmed that its long-running soccer franchise will move forward under a different name. Then, last week, EA revealed that more news about EA Sports FC is coming in July. But, in the midst of all this, fans expressed their concern about EA Sports FC losing features that's been in the game for decades due to the potential licensing issues.
To reassure worried fans, EA Vice President, David Jackson, released a statement on LinkedIn.
Here's an excerpt of what Jackson had to say about fans troubled by potential changes: Everything players love about 'FIFA' will remain. The authenticity of 19,000+ athletes, 700+ teams and 30+ leagues is paramount. They'll still be fully licensed and the immersive nature of that realism will be a non-negotiable part of our FC future. At the same time, football, gaming and entertainment move fast, and often in opposing directions - so a deep commitment to innovation will be apparent in everything we look to achieve in the virtual world of football, as well as the real one. These symbols of change are critically important to us, even as we unveil our change of symbol. Of course, it remains to be seen if EA Sports FC will end up selling as well as its predecessors following the rebrand.
