JAKARTA - Apparently, EA really wants to change the image of the FIFA franchise to EA Sport Football Club. According to journalist and Industry insider Jeff Grubb, the developer and publisher allegedly approved the decision internally.
"EA Sports Football Club, EA Sports FC, that's the name of the game," said Grubb at his premium event, Grubbsnax.
Although this news was only considered as a rumor, the rumors from other Grubb industry proved to be true as time went on.
What's interesting here is that the name change was brought forward shortly before the company revealed that it was reviewing its naming rights agreement with FIFA, which is separate from all official partnerships and licenses worldwide.
As Hirun stated at the time, this is an announcement when eFootball debuts in September 2021, it's absolutely full of bugs, crappy player models, and bad Steam reviews.
The new venture for what was once Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer series performed so poorly that the developer apologized for it within weeks of launch.
Additionally, Konami's eFootball series has made FIFA's decision for the Commonwealth Esports Championships line up later this year. Other games that will join eFootball at the Commonwealth Esports Championships in August are DOTA 2 and Rocket League.
