you could still have MyTeam as well

yep

So you get the full World Cup experience

You could even release the game next summer and have like 80-90 fully licensed national sides and have the game have qualifying and all

EA has never even come close to doing that. Give as authentic of an experience as possible

The right move is to hold off and face scan every single player in the WC

with the exception of a few studios

but then again that's all game developers do nowadays

I think releasing a partially licensed game is a short-sighted cash grab

Plus 2K's developing house haven't been the best lately

yeah that's what I would do if I were them

But you're going to be some PES/eFootball shit with 5 months where you got like 7 licensed teams

If they were saying they're releasing a game next summer, bet. Done. Just do a World Cup game, only gotta license those 32 teams. Perfect

hmm that's a tight window

You not licensing thousands of players in 5 months

The rumor is they're releasing a game this fall

get people in

do a world cup game

Even if it's done by a content creators, that kind of ass pull just for clicks, they'll buy

I'm not saying they wouldn't be able to... with time

I actually feel like the move for them is don't even release a full soccer game as first

why wouldn't they be able to get name licenses

You'd be surprised my man

100 overall Onyx Spaceship Kevin Mboopie

I don't think anyone is paying real money to buy a 99 overall Lapis Lazuli Leonard Messai

Sure, if they get licensing for all those players to shove into a trading card mode

Definitely less likely to flop though. Shillers won't let it, especially with these micro buyers

I'm sorry. Produce EASFC

And if it flops... half a bill is how you get fired as a CEO

Some video game reporter said he doubts 2K even releases a soccer game because it costs EA about 250-275 million to produce FIFA and you'd have to double that for a new game

I've waited 20 years *sniffle* 20 long years *sniffle* for this day :sniffle* but it's here now... it's finally here

it's time

20 year anniversary of the year 2K boxed EA out of the NBA game

we need these man to cook

nah
