EA FC Faces Competition That Could Improve It

We all know about the rumours of ‘Fifa’ being taken over by 2K Games who will potentially be developing the new game. This could mean a massive rivalry in terms of football games that we haven’t seen in ages. Both games would be licensed. I actually believe that the ‘Fifa’ brand resurgence would provide stern competition for EA’s future FC games.

This is because we haven’t had two properly licensed football video games in a long time. With EA’s announcement that it’s doubling down on its sports games. This threat is a legitimate concern especially for EA Sports FC which has lost its soul a bit by doubling down on Ultimate Team with not much innovation elsewhere.

The question is then how would the new Fifa under ‘2K’ provide that competition? You only have to look at the realism aspect of other 2K Sport titles to see what it’d bring. At the same time the new ‘Fifa’ only has to serve football fans better. In the sense that they put effort into the career mode and be as ambitious as possible with it. The flow of the game-play and less scripting and other nonsense would help also.

Most fans I believe would give the new ‘Fifa’ a chance. The intrigue will be massive and a demo would help tremendously to poach fans. I think from my point of view. It’s a long time coming having two football games that potentially could actually find ways to improve each other.

Of course, nobody actually knows when the new ‘Fifa’ will be revealed. “2K” are serious players and it’s going to keep EA with its own football game on its toes if all this turns out to be true.

EA are getting serious doubling down on their sport games. That isn’t a coincidence.
