Because if they allowed FIFA 15 running for long, many won't upgrade to newer versions they'll simply stuck on the older versions. So they know what they are doing, they have business strategies to drive sales for every new game series. Yeah - I actually believe that's the case as they are looking at pushing the new version into the market more than the old one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't blame them because the newer games hardly offer anything groundbreaking over the 2015 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got to ask what was the big deal with 15? As far I could tell they barely changed anything from the previous years and aside from the move to Frostbite in FIFA 17 they've barely changed anything since.

It was the last solid Fifa game that was actually bug free for the most part and I think it was the first one that had a fully developed Pro Clubs where you could play on a team online with other Fifa players. Pro Clubs was really the highlight of that year and a lot of us had so much fun. Crazycrab 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because FIFA recent games have disappointed, they are all looked at like bad output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Konami screwing up PES and turning it into a F2P microtransaction mess, Fifa is the only football game left... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue that FIFA is worse, at least PES' bullshit doesn't have a $60 - $70 buy in in order to pay more money for useless in game crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're wrong. With FIFA, you're not paying $60 - $70 up front for the "privilege " to buy useless in-game crap, it's worse. The lootboxes in FUT are pure pay-to-win.

You mean you consider FUT coins used to buy card packs with < 1% of getting the best cards, of witch even they become completely pointless after a year when the next game rolls something "useful"?. I VERY strongly disagree. No in game items, pay to win or not, has any use or value in the real world. Especially in yearly roll out titles like FIFA.

So it's actually falsely presenting itself as pay-to-win to temp people into paying more money. God, does it get more scummy than that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I have never played FUT team when I was playing Fifa. It was either online matches, Pro Clubs or Career mode - I wouldn't waste my money on something like that.

Justin11 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I never played this one before, maybe EA simply wants others who are stuck on the game to upgrade to newer versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
