jaethos Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I wonder how much of the licensing money they are saving will have to be spent on extra advertising in order to make sure the huge casual playerbase will know that it's still the same game.

It should work out in theory. After a few years it will stick. Plus the casuals that are into FIFA will at worse walk into a store or see EA Sports FC and get that.

stepee Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 lol I do appreciate the total upfront “the only thing that matters is branding!” angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamer.tv Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Is it just me or is that a terrible, terrible name. Surely EA Soccer/Football 24 would have worked out better…or do they just want that global branding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they can't call it "football" outright because Madden exists.
