The FIFA Thread v2

[Term-X 7,891]

I feel you buddy

Oh and demo matches will be played on Etihad again probably...

Yea, it's a disgrace, Etihad is the only stadium in the demo.

Man-City want Chelsea out of the picture, 'towns not big enough for the both of us' etc. Gourlay has royaly fucked us over on this one.

Well honestly, we are were not a team ideal for promoting a video game. There is a lot of hatred towards Chelsea and our players and game style are not attractive and attacking. With the additions of Mata, Hazard, Oscar and probably Hulk and as a club that is an European Champion I believe that has changed a lot. I would be really disappointed if the club wouldn't improve our videogame propaganda in the recent future.

But really, fucking Arsenal! And they were in previous demo with Man City also...just an awful choice from EA...

Cover unveiling at 6pm... Probably when we find out that the UK edition will have Messi and wait for it.... Rooney...

Based on the blacked out silouttes my guess is that the one on the left is Nasri and the one on the right looks like podolski... But could be RVP and Ox, one on the right looks a bit like ASH as well... But we will see...

What do you think?

[termninja 5,290]

I thought Rooney won't be appearing anymore on FIFA covers?

Messi, Wilshere and...Aguero?

[Ryan Fong 2,776]

The left one looks like Aguero.

[bababoom 4,478]

Ox and Hart have both been confirmed.

[Term-X 7,891]

Yea, it's because Arsenal & Man-City have deals with EA, it's all Ron Gourlay's fault.

[termninja 5,290]

Well at least no more Rooney's ugly face...

[Term-X 7,891]

Joe Hart will be on the cover, which is a good thing, as City's club colours won't be on the cover, which somewhat defeats the purpose in terms of brand awareness.

Yes, let's blame Ron Gourlay...

[Term-X 7,891]

Yes, let's blame Ron Gourlay...

It would be very easy to knock Arsenal off the cover, just pay them more money. City's deal is massive that's why the only stadium in the demo is the etihad. Fifa is the most popular sports gaming franchise in the world, and thanks to Ron Gourlay we are made to look like a small division 2 club. Millions of potential fans lost..

I expect better ratings for Ramires, Sturridge, Bertrand.

I won't be too pissed if the under 25's don't have high ratings, because their 'potential' will probably be quite high in career mode. Courtois & Lukaku developed high ratings in Fifa 12 for example.

Didn't we have a deal with EA last season?

[Term-X 7,891]

Didn't we have a deal with EA last season?

Yep, I think we still do 'to some degree', because 'as we speak' they have a Fifa 13 promotional background on the official site. However, we are no longer platinum partners, Arsenal & City are though.

[Ramzi 233]

Expect Torres to drop to 83/84

Shame, the amount of advertisement that FIFA brings to the players on the cover and their teams cannot be underestimated.
