Hopefully we get a stand alone World Cup game like during the 360/PS3 era. I hated how they made the 2018 World Cup as downloadable content in FIFA 18.

"Pay us 1 billion dollars over the next four years and develop a game for us that can compete with the games that have been around for almost 30 years."


I'll believe it when I see it. This has Axis football written all over it... if they're lucky lol.

I'd be happy to review these new titles as they come out if you're looking for people again.

If this somehow leads back to the days of multiple developers and publishers putting out titles for sports games, I'm all for it.

To just throw away 250-300M per year on a name that doesn't come with anything? You realize they're already paying hundreds of millions for all the other football licenses involved, right?
