FIFA 22 players back 2K\u2019s bid to develop future games \u2013 not EA EA SPORTS \/ 2KAfter 2K Games teased a bid for the FIFA license to start their own series, a new FIFA 22 players poll reveals a large chunk of the community is ready to leave EA behind. The negotiations between EA and FIFA appear to have reached a stage of stalemate, following a statement from the football body that they want to eliminate one game developer \u201cexploiting\u201d exclusive licensing in the future. FIFA has also reportedly asked EA to pay $1 billion every four years to continue their long-term partnership. Since then, 2K Games has emerged as a potential contender \u2013 after their CEO teased a bid during the November Take-Two earnings call. FIFA 22 players back potential 2K Games bid In a poll posted by DexertoFC, which has racked up over 8,800 votes, 43% of respondents backed the potential bid from 2K Games to develop future games. The predicament this would put players in, however, is that EA SPORTS would still likely develop a rivaling game under a new name. So, two big options would be on the market annually. Let\u2019s do a poll \ud83d\uddf3 Would you swap EA for 2K Games to develop future FIFA Games? #FIFA22 \u2014 Dexerto Sports (@DexertoFC) November 4, 2021 The poll ends on November 7. A community divided The votes for \u2018no\u2019 reached 33%, which suggests that there is still a significant amount of support for the current dev team at EA. Comments were sent in as replies to the poll and it\u2019s fair to say that the idea has attracted mixed results. One player said: \u201cThe servers in 2k are just sad. Playing online it\u2019s a nightmare so I don\u2019t know how I feel about that.\u201d Another said: \u201cThese people must not play a lot of 2K lol, they are just as bad as EA, but the 2K MyTeam is terrible.\u201d \u201cThe only company worse than EA is 2k without a doubt. This would be the last outcome we need.\u201d Not all comments were negative towards the majority vote, however. \u201cIt\u2019s so obvious that EA doesn\u2019t even care anymore about creating a better game. It\u2019s copy and paste with a few tweaks and the gameplay is often broken. At least 2k try different things and try to improve the overall user experience. Not perfect but better.\u201d One other user added: \u201cNBA 2k Offline Modes > FIFA.\u201d It\u2019s very much not confirmed that 2K Games will place a bid for FIFA\u2019s naming rights in the future, but the prospect has provoked strong opinions on both sides. While the majority in this poll would explore an alternative to EA SPORTS in the future, it\u2019s very unclear how the landscape of football games would look if another major developer joined the pack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
