Philly's PPL Park in FIFA 13?

[ThePhillyPhanatic]

Does anyone have any info about the Philadelphia Union's PPL Park in FIFA 13? I know they usually don't have MLS Stadiums, but this year PPL Park hosted the All-Star game and the FIFA people used the exact conditions and everything to sim the game. Also since you will be able to Unlock the MLS All Star team this year, I was thinking they might have it. But the thing that led me the most to speculate PPL Park's appearance is a Game Informer or PastaPadre article mentioning its possible return, which I can't seem to find right now... Thanks!

I'm all for adding in more stadiums to the game but my biggest concern with adding MLS (& A-League) stadiums to the game is that there are much bigger teams that would still be using generic parks. Then also you start the whole debate of "team A has their stadium but Team B's is missing, EA hates Team B" etc etc. I'd rather see the top Euro leagues flushed out with more stadiums but that's me.
As for that Philly park I'd have no problem with it being added though, the more variety the better, probably wouldn't use it though. Would be a fun challenge to unlock as well.

I agree. I just wanted it since I am kind of a fan. But if the EA people asked me, "If you want PPL Park, we are going to have to take out another stadium," I would say no.

At a minimum, EA should include the stadiums for every international team (although I know this is easy for me to say without any idea of the development work required).

While I don't realistically expect all of the MLS and A-League stadiums to be featured, it would be nice to have one or two major stadiums from each country.

I would love more MLS stadiums. Seeing that EA has a contract with Vancouver, they should at least be able to get in more MLS stadiums since Vancouver is part of MLS afterall.

I really dont get how Fifa doesnt have one American stadium. We account for a ton of sales....give us Home depot or Red Bull.. Meadowlands...something!!

And they put in Vancouvers stadium...smh.

I think they has to do with where HQ is located. Home cooking indeed.

Hopefully with the new national team option in career mode they can begin to add more international stadiums. You would think some of the stadiums like Gillette would be easy to transfer over from Madden (I say without even the foggiest idea of how the games work)
