With the potential loss of branding, I'm interested in seeing where this will go. FIFA's Ultimate Team mode, which focuses on in-game microtransactions, made up the majority of the $1.62bn EA earned in all Ultimate Team modes across its range of sports titles in 2021. This might seem greedy, but it's worth noting that since the last deal was signed back in 2012, the mechanics behind the way EA makes money from FIFA have changed dramatically. FIFA – which stands for Fédération Internationale de Football Association, in case you were wondering – is reported to be demanding "more than double" the current cost of the licence that would bring it to "more than $1 billion for each four-year World Cup cycle". The outlet reports that the current ten-year deal between EA and FIFA comes to an end next year, and the two are, at the time of writing, trying to nail down the details of what the new deal will entail.
That's why it was such a shock to hear that EA was "exploring the idea of renaming" the franchise why would you change the name of such a recognisable brand? Well, if a report by The New York Times is correct, it's down to a pretty predictable reason: money.
