The negotiations seem to have stalled after the request for <strong>2.5 billion dollars<\/strong> for the next decade, a figure that is doubled compared to the last agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Due to these two sensational scenarios, it seems that <strong>EA <\/strong>and <strong>FIFA <\/strong>will soon separate and the series will definitely change the name. In addition, the <strong>CEO <\/strong>of <strong>EA <\/strong>claims that without the constraints imposed by <strong>FIFA <\/strong>the development of the game will be considerably greater and will be able to guarantee countless new game modes that will not be restricted to a number of 11 players per team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\u201cBasically, what we get from FIFA in a non-World Cup year is the <strong>four letters<\/strong> on the front of the box, in a world where most people don\u2019t even see the box anymore because they buy the game digitally. In a World Cup year of course, we get access to the World Cup, but in the broader context of global football on an annualised basis, the World Cup is important but it\u2019s not the most important.
