EA extends FIFA licensing agreement to 2022

when will they learn that exclusive licensing is bad?

Oh, surprised, I hate FIFA, taking all the good peoples money and giving them the exact same as the year before.

Bitchassness.

hmmm FIFA have not changed so much till Fifa 08 and the graphics are just improving,no difference at all rather than this,PES 13 is way better then Fifa 13 the physics and full control over shot FIFA 13 SUCKSSSSSSS, lets hope 14 would be better

I'm still getting PES!

both pes and fifa have not changed much since 08 

Must be nice to monoplize the all football licences. Those motherfuckers even games arent safe in this ridiculous world

These deals are not good for gamers.

This is how FiFa murders others competitors, they should allow for any company to purchase the rights, Konami with this could put Ea to the side, cant wait to see Kojima Fox Engine on pes! Sad news do!

Oh goodness, EA retains it's hold on FIFA, and the consumers feel the gloomy results. 

Fuck me. Another decade of useless same old recycled shit called FIFA? I'm out.

Licenses are useless. A good editing feature set is all that's needed. The community can do a better job of updating a game. The companies are brutal at it.

Fifa 14 will have the same problem as ever. The lack of new additions in Leagues or at least "Rest of the World" teams will surely bring it down.

It's quite awful to see good teams that play on a year by year basis in UCL or Europa League and not having them in FIFA. They say that it's not their fault, that the teams (federations) aren't opened to negotiation, but I know for a fact that in some cases (like Romania`s Steaua Bucharest) it's purely bad intent or laziness.

I am not lobbying for any league or team, though it might seem that way. I just think it's a cretin move not to add AT LEAST the champions from each European league.

It's damn stupid.

I really wish they'd do away with the "exclusive" rights thing. All it does is mean that a massive, greedy corporation like EA can effectively prevent competition from rising up just by making sure they keep all the licenses.

This is the only reason EA has survived at all. All the other games have been ruined. It has a strong sports fanbase.  

Great news. The FIFA games are some of the best in the industry and I'm glad to know EA will continue making them. I hope that in the next-gen, they'll be able to release big updates to add features like they do now with each release. That way, instead of having to buy it every year at full price, we'd be able to pay half price for the yearly update. Also, I hope they get the UEFA license from Konami.

Loved 13. This time, put some spider sense powers into the referees. Seeing a ball hit the referee so many times is as frustrating in real life football. 

Pro Evolution Soccer 2013, with a few PC mods here and there, is 10x better than FIFA. FIFA is generic crap. Every team and every player feels the same. Garbage game. Get PES, it's much much better.

Yeah keep publishing the same game every year and sell it for the full price. It's not even a game it's an arcade like football simulator that doesn't even do a good job at what it does. Fifa should cost no more than 10$ - 15$.

Fifa is just as corrupt as Ea is evil, i figure those two will go along great.

And now Konami is *facepalm*

nothing special. fifas exclusive liscense holding is the reason, that we cant get more footie games. 

FIFA claims to be a simulator but the truth is, it's miles away from being a true representation of real Football. Massively Overrated series

Too bad that fifa 12/13 was the most unrealistic footie i have ever played.

FIFA continues to be very strong," says EA, which has been making (almost the same )FIFA games since 1993.

This news is so predictable even Michael Pachter could have seen this coming. In fact it's the only kind of stuff he can see coming.
