We have known for some time now that FIFA has put an end to the partnership that has linked it to Electronic Arts for several decades, for reasons that have not been revealed, but which no doubt marks the desire for the sports federation to mark the change. While waiting to find out which publisher (and studio) will be responsible for developing the next “real FIFA”, Electronic Arts continues to play the card of seduction to try to keep as many players as possible who bought FIFA en masse. every year. After having started teasing on social networks and revealing some reassuring figures a few months ago, the tye “EA Sports FC will have access to over 19,000 fully licensed players, 700 teams, 30 leagues, as well as the support of over 300 partners around the world, which will also put women’s football and amateur football first.”now the promotional campaign goes up a notch and invites us to discover the first official trailer, but also the cover that was chosen to appear on the cover of the game. And one thing is certain, Electronic Arts did not expect probably not to the bad buzz that was to follow.
Indeed, for a few hours, Internet users have started to point the finger at the graphics and in particular the modeling of the players that we see in particular on the jacket. The result is far from unanimous, even to the point of being the subject of mockery on Twitter where each player is the subject of a meticulous analysis. It is true that visually, the whole swears quite a bit. Between this desire for Electronic Arts to want to prove that by losing the FIFA license, they managed to keep the best players in the world, and the need to keep smiling, to the point of displaying it on each player on the cover, there’s plenty to laugh about, let’s not be afraid of words. The Sims, GTA wish version, embarrassing look, missiles fly on Twitter to highlight this Uncanny Valley side which this unexpected cover is struck. From the risky modeling to the artistic choice of the jacket, the embarrassment is at its peak and in these very calm summer times, the opportunity to laugh out loud.
