MMOEXP: FC 25 will have no trouble finding a new publisher
FIFA ‘s biggest obstacle will be getting out of EA‘s shadows as much of the publisher‘s success came from the franchise. While FC 25 Coins will have no trouble finding a new publisher, ensuring that its new games will not be copies of EA Sports FC will be a challenge. Introducing new game modes, focusing on the offline modes that have been lacking, and providing exciting gameplay will be a difficult feat, but is possible with the right partnership. Furthermore, with UFL setting itself up to shake up the genre, FIFA will need to compete against a promising upcoming game and a publisher with the expertise to put out good games.
The sports gaming genre has had a lot of big publishers over the years from Yuke‘s which released the popular Smackdown vs RAW series, and even Konami‘s PES. However, in more recent years, EA Sports and 2K Sports have risen as the giants in the genre, so losing one of their biggest franchises could have a huge impact on the FC 25 Ultimate Teamure of the genre. However, when it seems more likely that the publishers will simply trade these licenses, it is hard to see these industry giants falling. EA Sports now has an opportunity to seal a deal with WWE, something it has already attempted to get in the past, while 2K Sports could pick up the biggest sports game brand on the market.
So, if FIFA does decide to move over to 2K Sports, it could create a great competing market for soccer games and revitalize the rivalry that EA Sports had when competing against PES. It was during that era that cheap FIFA 25 Coins titles started adding features that excited fans and released some of the best titles in the franchise. The competing climate will likely force both EA Sports and FIFA to put out the best games possible, which is a major win for fans.
