Banebrydende teknologier, gør det nye FIFA 22 til den mest ‘true-to-life’ fodboldoplevelse til dato, lyder det fra EA Sports, men mørke skyer truer i horisonten for det populære spil, hvis det altså fortsat skal bære FIFA-navnet, når næste udgave skal lanceres.
De fleste fodboldnørder kender til esportsspillet FIFA og ved denne udgivelse rammer man ifølge spilproducenten EA Sports højere end tidligere tiders udgivelser.
Not only the publisher, who for natural reasons praises their own product to the sky, is positive. Experts in the gaming world praise the aesthetic boost, as the gaming site IGN Nordic, which calls FIFA22, despite a few blunders, one of the most nuanced multiplayer sports games on the market.

Overvejer navneskifte efter kæmpekrav fra FIFA
The name, FIFA 22, is currently also the focus of a major drama, the site Inverse notifies. The game, which has had the FIFA name with it since 1993, is being considered to rename itself EA Sports F.C. when the current agreement with FIFA expires after 2022. The FIFA game, which sells over 30 million editions annually, is rumored to be changing the name after FIFA reportedly want to charge EA Sport more than one billion dollars for four more years, to allowing EA Sports to continue with the current name. This is more than doubling the current price for the franchise agreement, reads an article from New York Times, which a few days ago put the spotlight on the current name dispute.
EA Sports has sealed deal with FIFPRO
At the same time, EA Sports can inform that 12th October an agreement was reached with the international players organisation FIFPRO which gives EA Sports permission to use the names of everything from the Champions League over the Bundesliga name to the Premier League.
Det må man formode, sætter yderligere pres på FIFA, til at indgå en fremtidig aftale med spilfirmaet, men en ting er sikkert; der er meget på spil for begge parter i form af penge, goodwill og masser af prestige.
