Though EA can no longer make EA FC 24 Coins FCtitles, it's likely that EA Sports FC will remain a game that has elements like this for fans to enjoy. After all, it's something that doesn't take too much effort, but which provides a lot of goodwill from fans. It's careful attention to detail that helps to make games sound like they are really being run with professional announcers.

EA Sports FC seems to have a pretty sharp dedication to breaking the fourth wall. After all, there is another instance where the announcers remind players of reality as they compete. "The commentators acknowledge that they're part of a game before one of them (Martin Tyler, I think) reminds him that he's going off script," legoman1237 says on Reddit.

It's a pretty funny line, and it is nice to see announcers try to nip each other in the bud as they start moving too far into realism. Hopefully, the next company that claims EA Sports FC's licensing will continue to add little jokes like this. After all, it provides some nice levity to the game.

After a massively successful partnership of almost thirty years, it has been confirmed that EA Sports FC and EA Sports are no longer going to be creating soccer video games together. FC 24 will be EA Sports' final contribution to the EA Sports FC franchise, although they will continue to create soccer video games under a brand new title, EA Sports FC.

BBC News reports that the decision to part ways came after a contract renewal negotiation between EA Sports and EA Sports FC, where EA Sports deemed EA Sports FC's asking price for the use of the 'EA Sports FC' branding to be too high. The two companies are now going to progress without one another, with EA Sports FC planning to continue the iconic franchise with another developer and EA Sports continuing with EA Sports FC, so what might EA Sport's 'new' soccer game look like?

With EA and EA Sports FC going their separate ways after failing to agree on terms of a renewed contract, EA is now forbidden to use any 'EA Sports FC' branding. In light of this, it has been confirmed by EA's vice-president, David Jackson, that the company will continue to release soccer video games, but under the title EA Sports FC.

As it stands, it is unclear how EA Sports will progress in terms of yearly title changes. EA has a few options, such as EA Sports FC 24 (referencing the year of release), EA Sports FC 1 (referencing the debut installment into the franchise), or simply just EA Sports FC.

Given that EA Sports FC owns the rights to the World Cup, EA Sports will no longer be able to include officially licensed World Cup content in the games going forward.

This is quite a big loss for EA, seeing as the World Cup is the biggest sporting event in the world. However, EA will still be able to include a parody of the tournament in future releases, although the company will have to refer to it by an alternative title. Many companies will be looking to claim the EA Sports FC license, and would certainly provide serious competition with EA Sports FC.

As it stands, EA Sports FC 24 Coins are licensed to use the likenesses of over 19.000 players, as well as the kits, badges, and stadiums of over 700 clubs. EA are able to use official likenesses and branding as a result of the licensing deals that they have struck with soccer leagues, clubs, and players, however, these agreements do not last forever.
