“The most important part about FIFA is the roster,” said Moore, “It really doesn’t matter how good the game is if you’re playing with the wrong people on your team. I believe that alone is worth at least 60 dollars, but we’re selling the Vita version of the game for only 40. It’s a steal at that price. And it will be a steal at that price again next year for FIFA 15. Again, why mess with perfection as we already have the perfect price point which is full price.”
“People say that you can’t tell the difference between FIFA 13, FIFA 14 and FIFA 15 and those people are wrong,” explained Moore, “Other game developers might spend some time tweaking numbers to get the physics right, but no one ever notices that kind of stuff. We change one of the most notable things, the graphics. Once players see the right name on the back of the player’s jersey, they know they are playing a brand new game.”
“I already know that FIFA 15 will be perfect because FIFA 13 is perfect,” continued Moore, “The best part is, I can guarantee it because if anyone on our team makes a mistake with the graphics or the names of the players, we can fix it with a free patch. In fact, our development team for FIFA 13 just made one giant patch to make FIFA 14. I don’t know how they work their magic since I’m not a programmer. I’m just here to make sure the game is creative which they always are.”
This is what he said. All of us will think: Aren't patches very easy to program? And by our gamers' definition of the term graphics, we will think in terms of how the overall game looks and how it presents itself, not just the change of names on the jerseys.
Perhaps EA has their reasons for these actions, there is obviously a lack of sports games competitors in the PS VITA market. No matter what, die-hard soccer fans have no choice but to choose FIFA. This gives EA their confidence and their plans to save funds and ended up creating a cycle of re skinned games that originated many years ago. Maybe if PES arrived in the Vita market, EA would then realize their mistake and put more effort in these mobile Fifa games. I really hope that that day will soon arrive.
