Is this Fifa or is this a game called "The English Premier League (who cares about anyone else)" ?

 

[rck3sactown]

I'll play with Northampton Town FC every now and then

MLS too

 

[AZwildcats]

I thought Everton wore Nike?

 

[Coupé It]

I don't play Fifa much but I know they don't have Porto's stadium, Pique & Vidic are the best defenders in the game, and so many English scrubs are overrated in that game.

It looks like (from that promo video) things are not changing. Solely fixated on England

No disrespect Heggs, but how are you going to have Leicester's stadium before Benfica's or Porto? Teams that have won the champions league multiple times and whose stadiums fit 65k plus.

 

[heggsy]

I do, and I must say our stadium looks a lot better in that game than it does IRL

And Everton signed with Umbro at the end of last season AZwildcats

The Premier League, imo, is the most marketable league in the world, it's the only reason they're all in the game.

I understand where you're coming from though.

The Premier League is easier to market because both countries speak the same language and the vast majority of people in both countries are caucasian. Aside from an accent and some key phrases its easier to make it an appealing product to those who don't mind discovering new things.

Now if you want super casuals and support for La Liga, just slap Ronaldo's face on everything and show him doing a bunch of stepovers. The girls and dudes who love highlight reels will come running.

This is all my personal opinion, of course.

Bro, I know how marketable the EPL is, I don't need anyone to tell me that. They're miles ahead of La Liga globally. They do a great job.

All I'm saying is, EPL lovers are not the only ones who buy the game. All I'm asking for is this - Humble some of those English player ratings and give me Porto & Benfica's stadiums (which are beautiful) and I'll be satisfied. Also maybe, just maybe rate Pique to be a 75

 

[sfc415]

That Pique rating is generous even at 75

And because the whole of Europe and Africa (and I'm not sure where else) have no issue with the timezone for viewing.

 

[heggsy]

Fifa is all about pace, making Pique terrible lol

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Excited to see Bayern tonight.

Selling FC gets midfielder Saphir Taider on loan & Inter gets Dani Osvaldo...

Other speculatory rumblings... De Jong from Milan to United, Luis Gustavo from Woflsburg to Atletico, Robinho back home to Santos, often injured Ibrahim Afellay to Besiktas (can't believe he's 28 now), & Bayern have turned down requests for Shaqiri whose been linked to Liverpool, Roma, & Juve.

You got any info/insight on the US U17 kid, Christian Pulisic I think, who is in the process of finalizing with BVB?

 

[User 37837]

Marco Reus release clause is £20m

 

[flyeed]

Marco Reus release clause is £20m

I've been saying that he should go to United. It would be a great move for both of them. Dude needs to get out of that one horse league.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Marco Reus release clause is £20m

If I'm right, doesn't necessarily mean club will just let him moonwalk out there.

 

[User 37837]

^^ both of you are right. He needs to end up at Old Trafford but since Lewy left I doubt they'll let me him leave this year. Granted I think Ciro is gonna fit in well

 

[flyeed]

From my understanding about release clauses, as long as the buying club is willing to pay it, and the player agrees on personal terms, isn't that all that's needed?

 

[imasoleman18]

rues would be nice but where does he fit in van Gaal's team?

 

[M. Fresh]

Pirlo and Tevez looking over thinking, "the **** are these clowns doing?"

yup
Benzema's extension

 

[User 37837]

Well Van Gaal did say they might switch to a 4-3-3 depending on the opponent
