FIFA 23 fans outraged after \u201cpathetic\u201d removal of Ivan Toney over betting offenses FIFA 23 fans are furious with EA after the removal of Brentford striker Ivan Toney from the game following the footballer\u2019s eight-month ban by the FA over betting offenses. On May 26, England international and Brentford striker Ivan Toney admitted to 232 breaches of betting rules, resulting in an eight-month ban from all football activity until 16 January 2024. According to the Football Association, the 27-year-old backed his own team to lose in 13 bets across seven matches. Following the suspension, EA has now to taken action, removing the Brentford star from FIFA 23, and players are furious. FIFA 23 fans outraged by Ivan Toney removal After the removal of Ivan Toney in the latest squad update, players immediately began hitting out at EA, slamming them as \u201chypocrites\u201d and \u201cpathetic\u201d for removing the Brentford striker. FIFA content creator LukeDutchh was one of many to show their frustrations. \u201cFifa literally promote gambling to children,\u201d he said in a tweet. \u201cThis whole thing is so f**king pathetic.\u201d He added: \u201cNot to mention that they still, to this day, hold the belief that loot boxes aren\u2019t gambling. Biggest hypocrites of all time.\u201d \u201cThey run the biggest gaming casino in history,\u201d one fan responded. \u201cUltimate team is literally gambling,\u201d said another. However, as several users mentioned, the decision likely falls down to the Football Association, rather than EA themselves \u2014 who likely have to follow suit with the game being so closely tied. \u201cSince the game is tied to Fifa, they probably have to respect all decisions made by Fifa. Really don\u2019t think this is a decision made just by EA,\u201d they wrote. Toney isn\u2019t the only player to be removed from the game through FIFA 23\u2019s life cycle, with players such as Diego Maradona and recently passed Christian Atsu being removed. It\u2019s certainly been an interesting season, as FIFA 23\u2019s life cycle is almost at an end before the franchise is rebranded to EA SPORTS FC.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
