FIFA 23 video review (The Gaming Channel)

Last year it was reported that the gaming giant EA and the world soccer organization FIFA would end their exclusivity agreement and the annual soccer brand would launch independently and be branded under the name

EA FC Sports

. While FIFA has been floundering in recent months with blockchain games and a World Cup game on Roblox, EA is renewing ties Her with the Premier League.



The Sky News network reports that EA has signed a contract in which it will pay the Premier League close to 480 million euros for the next six years (about 80 million euros per year) so that it can keep and continue to use the league's license.

This means that EA has already reserved for itself for next year all the names of the players, the symbols, and the uniforms of all the teams in the English league.



EA signed a similar contract with La Liga last year.

Despite the separation from FIFA, EA insists that beyond the name of the game, nothing will change in EA Sports FC. The new game will still contain all existing modes: career mode, Ultimate Team, Pro Clubs and Volta, in addition to all leagues, clubs and footballers, And this is thanks to the renewal of the license and the agreements with FIFPRO (World Players Union).
