Last week EA released a news statement stating the J1 League, Japan’s top flight soccer league, would be featured in FIFA 17. On the surface it’s not surprising seeing as EA has been adding more and more licensed leagues to its FIFA franchise for the past few years. In typical OS fashion, let’s dive a little deeper to see what impact, if any, this has on consumers.

Wonder if there will be Japanese commentators?

I want those Icelandic commentators that went crazy.

Let's just hope they get rid of Alan Smith. One of the poorest commentators going. Niall Quinn another to dodge. Gutted they didn't get Gary Neville involved when he was at Sky.

In my opinion the more commentary teams you can use the better.

Back On topic - adding more leagues is great to me. More options to play and more areas to scout and sign from.

This hurts PES because Japan is their yard, and not being able to get their own country's version of MLS into its game is devastating, frankly. And quite frankly, will it be the death knell for PES as a whole?

I don't get how Konami could let this happen. Is This exclusive, as in the league won't be in Winning Eleven any more?

I don't think its exclusive and maybe this lets Konami know that there's a market for J1 outside of Japan and they include it in the worldwide release as well. I really don't care for the league but as someone mentioned, it gives you another league to recruit talent for your career mode or master league.

Yeah I searched all over the internet for information about whether or not it was exclusive and couldn't find anything. I doubt it's exclusive but it has to hurt Konami.
