I know that the news is about 1 1/2 months old, but for some reason I only found out about it now. :o

God damnit FIFA! Stop signing with EA. Sign with Konami and drive EA and their ************ programming out of the soccer market!!

[Visca...]

well this sucks.

8 more years of subpar gameplay!

well this sucks. Hey! 1st post Woot! :D

Anywho, yes it does suck. But, things could be worse. EA could have tried (and possibly succeeded) to sign an exclusive contract like they did with the Madden series. Not that I think FIFA would go with that, I'm sure they wouldn't. But EA could have done that... and that would truly suck.

Last time I bought a FIFA game was 96 for the SNES. I tried out FIFA '05 vs WE7, and WE pwned FIFA. Been hooked ever since! :)

But this doesn't mean that EA Sports has exclusive rights to club teams and players right? Knomoi could still get the rights to MLS team and players and other national teams if they're willing to pony up the doe correct?

We just have to convince Konami of Japan that it's worth including MLS.
