Unfortunately, this will be the last time that EA Sports will create this successful videogamefor FIFA. Both parties did not reach an agreement and the license will be taken by other company from now on, so it is rumored that the creators will give everything this year to leave a good legacy behind.

One of the biggest issues that every single player had in Ultimate Team is regarding the chemistry for the squad. To mix leagues and nations was an absolut headache, but not anymore. It will be easier to use your favorite players even though they have no direct links between them.

Chemistry in FIFA 23: What changed and how will it work?

Initially, chemistry in FIFA was build directly between the team’s cards. If two players nearby had no links between them (same nation or league), there was a red line that united them. If one of those aspects were the same, there was a yellow one; a green if there were two. If your squad had two players of the same country and team (example Pedri and Pique), they could builta perfect link.

Why is chemistry important in FIFA? Well, as in real life, if there’s more chemistry between players, they would play better. In the videogame, stats were affected if there is more or less of this, so it was important to search for more yellow or green links, but it was a difficult task for some players.

Now chemistry will be different in FIFA. The direct links will be erased and you won’t have to worry about putting together two cards. Now, if in your whole starting XI there are similarities (nation, club or league), it doesn’t matter if the cards are far away, they will have more chemistry.

As the red, yellow and green lines will be erased, diamonds will be the reference for chemistry. Each player will have three slots available, so the squad will have a total of 33 points to complete (previously 100 points). As usual, bench won’t count.

This will allow players to have more variations in the starting XI. For example, now you can use Trent-Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson without having troubles with chemistry. Both cards will have a diamond filled despite not being together in your squad.

FIFA has been a best seller since his arrival to the videogame world. As every game, it has been judge throughout the years, but as EA Sports used the official license, all consumers were thrilled to play with their teams or their favorite players.

But everything comes to an end and EA Sports will finally release the FIFA’s license. FIFA 23 will be the last edition that this company will make with thisname and everyone is wondering what will happen next as soccer fans need another videogame like this next year.

Why will EA Sports stop making soccer’s biggest videogame after FIFA 23?

EA Sports will no longer be making a soccer videogame with the name “FIFA” in it as they did not reach an agreement with the organization. Numbers were hidden, but both parties were uncomfortable with the others’ needs and they decided to take different paths.

Will FIFA hire a new company to make a new soccer videogame?

The contract that EA Sports had with FIFA was until 2023, so this September of 2022 this edition will launch, but next year it will be another company, as expected, that will make a deal with the organization to create a new videogame.

Even though there’s no certainty about this, the rumors say that 2K will grab FIFA’s license to create the videogame. This company has delivered titles for NBA, NHL, PGA Tour and WWE in the sports section, so soccer would be huge for them nowadays.

This is one of the many decisions that have been made in world soccer in response to the invasion of Ukraine. UEFA and FIFA havesuspended all Russian teams from their competitions, which would prevent Russia’s men’s side from playing in the European World Cup Qualifying playoffs for Qatar 2022 and the women’s team from taking part in the Euro 2022. In addition, Spartak Moscow – the only Russian team standingin European competition – was removed from the Europa League.

Previously, the 2021-22 Champions League final – which was originally set to be played in Saint Petersburg – was relocated to France, and Schalke 04 cut ties with their main sponsor Gazprom (a Russian state-owned energy company). Now, Russia’s actions will also have consequences in the popular soccervideo game.

EA Sports will remove all Russian clubs and the national team from FIFA 22

“EA Sports stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian people and like so many voices across the world of football, calls for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine,” a statement released by EA Sports read.

“In line with our partners at FIFA and UEFA, EA Sports has initiated process to remove the Russian national team and all Russian clubs from EA Sports FIFA products including: FIFA 22, FIFA Mobile and FIFA Online.
