Why Can't Konami And EA Have Football Licences At The Same Time? by LucemFerre: 9:19am On Oct 12, 2018 |
(shrug) Is the licence some sort of glory hole or some sh!t, one pen!s at a time? Why can't the policy be established by the respective leagues and not the gaming industries? If anything, it means more money for the leagues. Why would they allow themselves be bought? We all know FIFA is about to get worse, right? With almost all licences there would be near-zero improvement on their already crappy gameplay that they improve very slightly every 5 years. If this forces Konami out of market it's gonna be the end of football gaming. I've googled but can't find why the licences have to be used by one gaming company at a time. Anybody knows why? |

That's how exclusive licences work, it's the same reason the new Spiderman game is a PS4 exclusive while Rise of the Tomb Raider is Xbox one exclusive. EA pays for exclusive licences and exclusive licences mean that no other publishers are allowed to use them, to cut a long story short, it's all about the money. |

You guys don't understand what I said. I know how exclusivity works. I'm asking why |

LucemFerre: khalhokage: Having exclusive rights to the leagues will mean more sales for EA coz people will fall in to buy Fifa coz no one will want to play PES with Man Blue, Tyneside and the clubs fake jerseys etc... |

Lana1: EA doesn't own FIFA, correct? Right, why doesn't FIFA as a body abolish the rule that only one company can own the licence at a time? Or does FIFA own the FIFA football game too? |
Re: Why Can't Konami And EA Have Football Licences At The Same Time? by khalhokage(m): 1:32pm On Oct 12, 2018 |
LucemFerre: There's no rule that only one company can use the licence, but a company can pay to be the only ones to use that licence as long as the contract is in effect. So basically EA is paying a lot of money to be the only publisher that can use said licences. 6 Likes 1 Share |

LucemFerre:After some research, just found out that EA added an option to maintain exclusive rights to the License in their deal with Fifa. So even if Fifa wanted to sell those rights to Konami, they cant or else they would be facing a lawsuit from EA for breaching their contract. So u see, it's not really a rule made by Fifa that can be easily abolished but more like a contract that has been signed and sealed. The only thing Fifa can do is run out the current contract, not renew with EA when it expires and sell it to Konami. But think of it sef....if u were the head of Marketing at Fifa would u turn down a million(maybe even billion) dollar deal with a big publisher like EA for a smaller one like Konami?? |

LucemFerre: Dude! Lol the Fifa brand is owned by ea sports oh forget the fact that it's the federation's name too. I'll bet EA doesn't settle fifa from the proceeds. |
Re: Why Can't Konami And EA Have Football Licences At The Same Time? by khalhokage(m): 3:27pm On Oct 12, 2018 |
Thegamingorca: EA can't use the FIFA name without a licence from FIFA themselves, so unless FIFA decided to let them use it for free then they have to pay to use the name. |

Lana1: Oh, ok... I get it now. Now I understand what khalhokage meant when he said it's about the money. Smfh... That's unfortunate |

Thegamingorca:This is from a thread on Quora... I worked at EA two different periods - in the late 90s/early 2000s and again a few years ago. The second time around, I had access to information which could have answered this question but I can unequivocally tell you that revealing it would have gotten me fired. That said, I never looked it up so I cannot provide a definitive answer. 4 Likes |

Fvck me, these people spend a whole lot of money on licences I don't blame Konami for sacrificing it to make other places better. That said, in the real world, if they keep losing licences like this, they'd get hurt. 3rd party option files can only go so far. One can't use them online and these days online is where the game at. People love to simulate real football with OG kits and names it will become tiring with time of it keeps showing Man Blue etc |

Lana could you drop a link to the qoura answer ...thanks . FIFA is EA's Cash cow ...they will do anything to keep that license . I'm suspecting that Sony is making moves to a digital only model to avoid piracy or reduce cost . The major franchises will be the first to adopt this model for an annual subscription fee . |
Re: Why Can't Konami And EA Have Football Licences At The Same Time? by Nobody: 9:47am On Oct 13, 2018 |
LucemFerre: To be honest Konami kind of deserve it for messing up MGS ...I mean they are literally sitting on millions of dollars ( don't take this seriously ...it's far fetched reasoning on my part ). But then again I wasn't there could be that Kojima has a side to him that we don't know. |
Re: Why Can't Konami And EA Have Football Licences At The Same Time? by Nobody: 9:48am On Oct 13, 2018 |
But what do you guys think about FIFA 19 so far ? I would get pro Evo but the lack of licenses are just not working for me . |

From the FIFA gameplay I saw online, nothing has changed. It's hArdly a surprise though. You need to wait for at least 3 years to see any significant improvement in FIFA's gameplay. It looks like FIFA 18 with the UCL licence. 2 Likes |

tobianthony: Following the same logic. EA should have been burned a long time ago. Personally, I never liked that MGS game |

khalhokage:RoTR was a timed exclusive. Spider-Man is a different kettle of fish, Marvel actually approached Sony to make a Marvel game. Then Sony approached Insomniac, whom they have a rather close relationship with, even though they're not an exclusive first party dev for PlayStation. They agreed on Spidey. |
Re: Why Can't Konami And EA Have Football Licences At The Same Time? by LucemFerre: 5:26pm On Oct 13, 2018 |
Right, I didn't even see that... Rise of Tomb Raider was just released first on XBone |

I'm still kinda undecided about FIFA 19 ...want to buy it because of higuain and Milan Sha...but the gameplay still sucks 1 Like |
Re: Why Can't Konami And EA Have Football Licences At The Same Time? by LucemFerre: 6:00pm On Oct 13, 2018 |
I'm definitely getting PES 19. I wasn't very impressed with the gameplay of FIFA 18. The passes were too accurate and has like 50:50 luck/skill ratio. I was playing with someone far below my skill level and it looked like I was the one learning. I lost 0:3. He was just acing shots from anywhere outside the 18 yard box with Suarez. PES feels more rewarding. I played FIFA 18 because Konami were d!cks enough not to optimize the fvcking game for low-end PCs like mine. But if they consider us next year. I'm definitely getting it BTW... Patches would definitely take care of Higuain and Milan 1 Like |

Thegamingorca: It does suck. But, Sport games are the only unserious game genre that exist. As gamers we play unserious games to take a break from serious games. Sport genre serves that purpose. I can eat while playing it. I can't eat while playing NFS or shooting games etc. 5 Likes |

LucemFerre:Konami chose to stay cheap despite having the better game for years EA on the other hand knew their game was and still is crap so they invested on licenses and top graphics and increased their online presence Plus their licenses are exclusive 2 Likes |
Re: Why Can't Konami And EA Have Football Licences At The Same Time? by LucemFerre: 12:37pm On Oct 14, 2018 |
Yea, I agree Konami fvcked up bad. What do you expect from Japanese. If it's creating a game based on ridiculously big monsters they'd buy licences from God if they have to. For we who are cursed with prioritizing gameplay over everything we are condemned to keep playing PES until FIFA or any other company forces their greedy asses to extinction. 2 Likes |
