EA Sports and UEFA will collaborate for more years to extend their agreement. We review the licenses of the soccer planet that we would like to see in FIFA.
FIFA 21 has broken all records. In addition to having managed to have a greater number of players than at the same point in the cycle as its predecessor, the saga has reached 325 million copies sold since its inception. The good news from Electronic Arts goes further: its new agreement with UEFA.
EA Sports and the largest European football organization join hands to extend the presence of the Champions League, Europa League and Super Cup in the FIFA franchise. The future is assured; however, what about the rest of the licenses? We review those that we would like to see in future installments.
The mess of Turin and Rome in Serie A
Two of the historic teams in the Italian league got out of hand for FIFA. Juventus Turin said goodbye from FIFA 20, while A.S. Roma did it in the current installment, FIFA 21. A Piemonte Calcio match against Roma FC is not the same. Imagine that one of them happens to reach the final of a European tournament. How would a historical duel ruined by a license mess look? Pro Evolution Soccer took advantage by buying these two pearls of the Mediterranean.
The magic of a UCL final between Piemonte Calcio and Roma FC …
The Russian League: we want the real Moscow derbies
Another of the licenses held by Pro Evolution Soccer is the Russian Premier League, the Russian league in our language. The bear with the colors of the country with capital in Moscow hardly has a presence in FIFA. We can find CSKA Moscow, Spartak Moscow and some more, but up to there. Why not savor their derbies in great detail? His arrival would bring variety to the set of licensed leagues. They have to their credit several historical teams of the last century.
Russian derbies are games where everything happens. We want the Russian Premier League in FIFA.
Boca Juniors and River Plate, beyond the Libertadores
The arrival of Conmebol Libertadores brought the return of several famous South American football teams. Being able to revive Boca Juniors against River Plate is a delicious moment for football lovers. Unfortunately, their presence is limited to the fringes of the tournament. To create a career mode with Boca Juniors, for example, you must choose its fictional version: Buenos Aires. Is not the same. Therefore, another of the pending subjects is to be able to offer the fully licensed Argentine league.
Exciting duel between Boca Juniors and Buenos Aires … Guess the differences.
Pending international subjects
It may not be the most played type of content, but you always want to relive old glories. A Spain against Italy, for example, is a very morbid game among our fans. That is why it is shocking to see that Gli Azzurri’s have prints that are far from reality. The same goes for other powerful teams, such as Portugal, Colombia or Peru, all of them with predetermined outfits. Should we do more.
Italy deserves better representation.
Spanish football in full
Now that the Copa del Rey is rigorously current, there are not a few fans who are trying to recreate their desired ending. FIFA 21 allows you to play a final of the tournament within the Quick Match section. The authenticity of an Athletic Club de Bilbao against Real Sociedad is lost as soon as you see the invented labels. The Spanish Cup, as it is called within the game, leaves its real image very far. In fact, there is not even the La Cartuja stadium or the official ball. We want Spanish football in full.
Spanish Cup?
