Game over: EA, FIFA part ways after decades together (RTE.ie)

Electronic Arts (EA) is parting ways with world soccer governing body FIFA after a near three-decade partnership and pulling the plug on one of the world's ...

FIFA was seeking at least double the $150 million (€142 million) it received annually from EA Sports, its biggest commercial partner, the New York Times reported, adding that there were different expectations of what should be included in a new agreement. FIFA said it would launch new football video games developed by third-party studios and publishers, but added it had granted a new short-term extension to EA Sports to launch a new "FIFA23" title later this year. EA made a "significant offer" to FIFA for an eight-year exclusivity period across all of FIFA's gaming and esports rights, but the soccer body was unwilling to lock up all of its gaming and efootball rights with just one publisher, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.

FIFA investigation of Ecuador player could shake up World Cup (The Washington Post)

At issue is the eligibility of Ecuador defender Byron Castillo, who played in South American qualifying matches for a La Tri team that earned a spot in this ...

Thanks to the three points it earned via FIFA’s reversal of the result, Peru finished fifth in the South American qualifying standings and earned its first World Cup bid since 1982 by beating New Zealand in the intercontinental playoffs. Ecuador was drawn into Group A of the World Cup along with Qatar, Senegal and Netherlands. However, if FIFA disqualifies Ecuador and Peru becomes an automatic qualifier, the validity of the draw could be called into question. Chile, which played Ecuador twice with Castillo on the field, would leapfrog into fifth place past Colombia, which would earn a spot in next month’s intercontinental World Cup playoffs against either Australia or the United Arab Emirates. Last week, the Chilean soccer federation filed a complaint with FIFA over Castillo’s eligibility to compete for Ecuador, claiming Castillo was born in Tumaco, Colombia, in 1995, and not in General Villamil Playas, Ecuador, in 1998, as stated on his official papers. FIFA’s statement Wednesday said it is investigating “possible falsification of documents” in Castillo’s case. Ecuador’s soccer federation, FEF, decried Chile’s claims as “unfounded rumors” in a statement last week.

The FIFA and EA Sports split is complex, but an own goal for everyone (TrustedReviews)

FIFA and EA Sports are parting ways by mutual consent and the future of football games is as open as the Man United back four.

Does Konami have the kind of money EA balked at, to splash on a license for FIFA eFootball? Probably not. It’s always on sale for about £20 quid the day after Christmas and EA is even giving this year’s FIFA away to PS Plus subscribers, sparking suggestions the game might go free-to-play and focus even harder on those microtransactions Maybe we will see EA Sports go back to the drawing board and revive its stale football game to secure its audience from a potential coup carrying the official FIFA name? Sure, FIFA will look to sell the license to another publisher. Right now, we don’t know enough to make a definitive judgement on the winners, losers, and where the future of football games lies in a post-EA Sports FIFA world. OPINION: FIFA and EA Sports are parting ways by mutual consent and the future of football games is as open as the Man United back four.

Chile finished seventh with 19 points but Eduardo Carlezzo, a lawyer for the Chilean FA, told Reuters that if Chile was given the points from the two games against Ecuador in which Castillo played it would go to the World Cup in its place. If it lost points for the games in which Castillo appeared it could miss out on a place in Qatar. "FIFA has decided to open disciplinary proceedings in relation to the potential ineligibility of Byron David Castillo Segura with regard to the above-mentioned matches," FIFA said in a statement.

The music, the gameplay, the commentary. Pro Evolution Soccer had none of the licences or real names that FIFA did, but from 2001 to 2008 it had by far the better gameplay. The greatest of them all. The graphics left a lot to be desired, but sales were brisk. So it was yesterday when it was announced that FIFA and EA Sports were going to stop making their iconic FIFA video games. For some odd licencing reason, none of Brazil’s Ronaldo (a god in my eyes), Pele, or Romario allowed their names to be used.
