FIFA Enters New 'Long-Term' Partnership with Liverpool FC

Watch them be rated above City now, despite the fact that City cleaned up domestically and came out on top during their two meetings. Lol.

Tired of the nonsense these licences cause. Just give each game their shot with them and see who comes out the victor...

Liverpool FC is hard as hell
United, Tottenham, Arsenal
Watch my lips, and I will spell
Cause they don't just play, but they can rap aswell.

@daveofduncan tired of licences you say, Juventus just signed a deal with pes so they're gonna be called Piemonte Calcio on fifa with alternate badges and stuff, cheers!!!

@daveofduncan I agree Fifa without the licences would be a stale affair.....Konami with the Licences would be every football fans dream.....and it will sadly stay a dream still as the war goes on no Juventus for Fifa.

Just saying West Ham would be a much better side to be licensed in PES or have the stadium updated to include the claret carpet. Failure to change will result in the destruction of EA Vancouver.

@illiaster Yes,but despite the name change to piemonte,the real players names on the club will still appear. No difference for me,with fifa volta mode being added to the game aka fifa street,fifa once again for me. Could never understand the liking of pro evo,the players movements always seem robotic.

People always complain about the licensing on Pro evo yet its one custom file online most probably in the first week will give you real kits, badges and names... Then you don't have to worry about it

As an avid Juventus fan and pes 2019 fan I am most deeply honoured that they treated us like royalty this year. With the likes of de ligt Ramsey rabiot demiral in the team I hope we will be a force to reckon with in Europe. We'll have fun this year with MSarri

@lixei32 'Ramsey'

If you don't know already. There is only one Ramsey and he writes godlike reviews on humongous RPGs. Didn't know he played footy as well - the guy has talents for sure.

@Kidfried Disgraceful. Forgive me, Virgil!

@themcnoisy Well, "play" is pushing it...

LMAO - Loved the ending to this article - especially as a lifelong 'Red'!!!

😁 at the last paragraph.

@daveofduncan it's so silly tbh. I keep questioning why both EA and Konami or whoever else can't just get all the licenses, like 2K and LIVE with the NBA. Won't that make more money for FIFA, if everybody can buy licenses and drop that exclusive bs. And then there's Nike, where Devs can't get all their boots in the game because darn licenses. Just frustrating gamers all over the world.

One of the best things that could happen to sports games would be taking away exclusive licenses. The reason EA keep shoveling out this micro-transaction yearly trash tricking fans into buying is because they have no competition. Every sports fan I know is going to buy the football game with the actual teams over the one with made up teams.

EA is the master company of just not quite sucking enough to actually kill their sales. They don't have to put any real effort into their products when they have all the official teams and player rosters.

And all yearly sports games are obsolete. In the era of DLC and internet downloaded updates, there is absolutely no reason to release a new one every year. No reason aside from EA loving the money people burn on them.

I remember around 2009 when I was in high school, the local game store put up a sign saying they would not take sports games for trade in that were older than one year. I remember seeing their dumpster full of old copies from the previous 8 years.

@daveofduncan EA can't let that happen though because they would lose all their customers! PES is clearly superior in it's gameplay so if they were on a level playing field with licenses, FIFA would stand no chance.

I have to say, I find Pushsquares coverage of FIFA but never PES to be a bit distasteful. EA announce Liverpool and get an article about it. Konami have announced Juventus, Bayern and Man Utd in the last few weeks and it's like it didn't happen. Surely the biggest story in all this is that FIFA will have to have a 'fake Juventus' in their new Champions League mode, with no way of correcting it in an option file.

You can moan all you like about PES not having licenses, but at least we can correct them with option files so, effectively have the same teams as FIFA. When FIFA lose a license, they're screwed!

But, I agree with everyone else to be honest, if we could just scrap this licensing thing it would be great. The only people who lose out are the people who buy the games!

i assume the special edition will come with a brown envelope stuffed with replica money.
