EA’s first foray into its post-FIFA life is coming in September.
comments is comparably mixed."EA never disappoints when it comes to disappointing us," several users wrote. Another replied,"For people who are scared of any change whatsoever, don't worry, EA's got your back!" Many commenters criticized the absence of gameplay in what is ostensibly a gameplay trailer, although several noted that there is actually gameplay to be seen in the video, from 1:19 to 1:21. Sarcasm notwithstanding, they're not wrong.
For the record, I don't think bad cover art or a weak trailer—or even a less-than-stellar game release—are going to sink EA's massive football franchise. My expectation is that the sheer momentum of 30 years of FIFA games gives it a little bit of room to correct course before fans throw up their hands in earnest in 2025 or ‘26.
Still, with so much at stake, it strikes me as a little odd that all the pre-release hype has come off as kinda half-assed so far. You can’t guarantee how people will react to things, and the internet is a famously fickle place, but I’m just not seeing the attention to detail that I would’ve expected. Instead, it comes off to me as EA treating it like just another annual addition to an old, reliable franchise.
