FIFA 19 Champions League Acquisition

As we’ve all speculated, FIFA 19 has gained the Champions League License. This comes in the wake of UEFA ending their relationship with Konami’s PES franchise recently.

It’s nice seeing the Champions League in FIFA, but it’s also sad to know that it’s no longer in PES. No matter how cool it is to see this competition authentically recreated in FIFA, it’s never good for consumers when one company monopolizes a market. EA already have all the biggest leagues and competitions exclusively. This exclusivity means that they basically control the virtual footy market, which means they don’t have do much for players. Many have complained about this year’s version of FIFA and EA have ignored us. Taking that into consideration, It seems that things can only get worse with this new acquisition.

That being said, I’m optimistic. I’m hopeful that the publishing juggernaut does good by us this year. Hopefully this is the year we get proper faces for all players with regular updates, and improvements to the game play that players want.

I’m hopeful, and I hope that hope is not misplaced.

EA have also announced that FIFA 19 will be a part of their new Origin Premier subscription service, and depending on the price it may be the best way to get the game this year. They’ve also made the current game, FIFA 18 available for free trial right now.
