Is everything crumbling down for messi?

You forgot to post the source dummie

easports.com/fifa/cover-vote

Should be Hazard la. 3rd best player in the world

>Anthony Martial
>Marco Reus
>James Rodriguez

wtf
none of them can be in the starting XI of their clubs or NT.

What if the players refuse to let EA use their image?

I'm pretty sure most of them concede their image rights to their clubs when they sign their contracts

They wouldn't if they know what's good for them

I assume, though I don't actually know, that in order to be registered as a player in a FIFA sanctioned league you have to let them use your image in their various licensed properties.

nah there's a reason Neymar is on the cover of PES and not FIFA, the reason is called money baby. If you want me on the cover of your game, you gotta pay

>no Messi
>not even anyone good to replace him
>instead one of these these third rate ''''stars''''
JUST

Just read this. Worth a read if you're interested.

postmatch.org/251/ronaldo-beckham-aguero-football-image-rights/

maybe they didn't renew Messi's contract for the cover because it's so expensive

well that's because most 15 years old prefere meme players with stylish hair and gay style

players like messi, iniesta, modric will never make it to a cover again because they don't have these characteristics

Messi will be on the cover of PES 2017

>replace Messi on the cover

And those names are the best they could come up with?

They could have at least had the decency to offer a vote for someone in Germany. You know, the current WC title holders?

James is the most universally recognized star from that list, prove me wrong.

Götze would look good on the cover

>maybe they didn't renew Messi's contract for the cover because it's so expensive
Of course thats the reason, that is now what is being discussed, the problem is that they put players that aren't that good for the cover.

There are at least 20 players at a higher level of fame/skill than them.

>no vardy

why?

>Martial
really scraping the barrel here

Goatse would look good on the cover.

I hope I can vote for a Chilean player some day.
I'd like Aranguiz on the cover, but that's in the realm of fantasy.

This. Goatze, Vardy, would have been better choices than the relatively literally whos aside from James.

Lol at the idea of Vardy's ugly mug. Sir Harry would be the obvious choice

>Not world class striker and Euro 2016 Golden Boot Winner, Olivier Giroud

>not wanting to be in the cover of the most famous football game

None of those guys are even among the 10 best players in the world, why are they the options?

Why not? Maybe they don't want to be associated with this shit.

>James

So how's that AFA going Argenbro? Did they fuck up again or what?

I would choose, in order
>James
>Martial
>Reus
>Hazard

Because they are hyped talents. Mueller and Neymar are too ugly for the cover, Suarez eats people, Neuer is a goalkeeper, Ibra too offensive. Kinda surprised that Donaldo isnt an option, though.

List of players that are better than anyone on that list and have actually achieved things with their club/NT:

Lewandowski
Aubameyang
Neuer
Godin
Mascherano
Suarez aka El Rey Rato
Iniesta
Vardy
Griezmann
Zlatan
Higuain
Aguero
Di Maria
Bale
Mahrez
Pogba
Lacazette

And many, many more.

Get off the proxy, Kevin
I know that's how it works here but not with this

What has Higuain won other than Coppa Italia?

It should be Neur to be honest, he's too GOAT

At least Martial still has time to live up to the hype, the rest of them are dead wood. I get that they wanted to save money but there are far better players that would've been cheaper: Iniesta, Suarez, Bale, Lahm, Neuer, Robben (dead last season but still good), Kroos, etc. Even doing a throwback with Ronaldinho & Ronaldo (fat) would be miles better.

this image should be in the cover of FIFA17

>Messi not on the cover
does this mean FIFA is getting good again?

best FIFAs were when at least Rooney was on the cover. it started to go downhill for me when Messi got added on the cover. the game changed too much and for the worst.

all these players sucked this year why no Dybala?

Bale, Neuer, Lewandowski or Pogba would have worked.

Also, Griezmann has just played in champions league final and Martial isn't even his understudy at the Euros.

But they're going for that money from India and its endless waves of United supporters.

Photoshop it onto Goatse's rectum.

>FIFA TSUUUUUUUUUUVENTEEN

I'd buy it

>No Giroud

I know he would never get on the cover but desu I do think it's weird neither him or Ozil are on the shortlist as FIFA loves to suck EPL cock.

ronaldo and neymar are with pes

>Lewandowski
Polish and Bayern player, doesnt appeal to enough people
>Aubameyang
Nigger, Dortmund player, dresses like a clown, unknown
>Neuer
GOALKEEPER ARENT EVEN PLAYERS LOL XDD
>Godin
Too old and defender
>Mascherano
See above
>Suarez aka El Rey Rato
Eats people
>Iniesta
Too old, bald
>Vardy
Meme
>Griezmann
Atletico players, not one of the hyped memes, legit though kinda weird hes not in there
>Zlatan
Too offensive and arrogant
>Higuain
Too much of a choker, the others havent accomplished anything but didnt choke either
>Aguero
Choker and shit
>Di Maria
Too ulgy
>Bale
Too old, balding
>Mahrez
'Literally who' will 90% of the customers ask
>Pogba
No way in hell they will put a nigger with a mohawk on the cover
>Lacazette
'Does he have 95 points in shooting'?

They wanted to use Götze over Reus, but when designing the cover they came to realise that he didn't fit.

But who will the arse bandits vote for??

Because you fucking retards, they're popular. Remember the old Fifa covers? They didn't all have the best players.

I get it. cause Gotze GotFatz.

All 4 of those are jokes. They should put Suarez or Bale on it.

If it didnt happen for vidal or sanchez is not gonna happen for a chilean for a while.

Isnt the cover supposed to go to the player with best stat?.

Like to make it easy to practice skills.

Should be:
Lewandowski
Griezmann
Neymar
Harry Kane
Alexis Sanchez

imagine they put a burger player

All I ask is...don't vote for a fucking nigger.

There's already one being forced in career mode, please don't let another one come in the cover

Real talk i would rather have the whole Iceland team on the cover

They used to for the US version. It was either Donovan or Dempsey.

whatever happened to having one flagship player with the best year and just adding other good marketable players based on the sale region?

Donavon was on a cover once

...

Poo in loos will vote for Martial and there's literally nothing you can do about it

reus starts for dortmund, and he would start for germany if he wasn't always hurt

imagine they put a female burger player

Bale is 26, how is he old? He is younger than Reus.

>United’s Anthony Martial, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez and Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus
lel they really wanted to save money

FIFA is shit anyway
a lot of fags will continue to buy it because muh online
PES is better now

youtube.com/watch?v=OlVtjD5aG68

this is my opinion on messi

>never achieved anything

Wut?
Martial is a Euro 2016 winner
It's staying home, lads

they forgot about france in their WWI game, no wonder they forgot about the GOAT on their fifa game cover

they what?
is this for real?

Suarez is a bit controversial in general and I wouldn't put him either.

of course user.

just google it

Yep
They made a WW1 game in which you can play Brits, Italians, African-Americans and Bedouins but not the French

WHAT THE

Why not Payet?

Payet is very popular among football fans except for Liverpool/Everton/Arsenal/Tottenham fans and he's even liked by literally every pundit
He's going to be the Euro's best player
Why not Payet?

PAYET
We've got Payet

Will the Curse of the FIFA cover be broken?

If you're measuring them by how hard they flopped, I'd say he's 1st.

>lewandowski
Okay I guess
>aubameyeng
I'll give you that one
>neuer
Eh...
>godin
No
>mascherano
No
>Suarez
I'll give you that
>iniesta
This isn't 2010
>vardy
Agreed
>griezmann
Ehhhh
>zlatan
I'm automatically biased against him but don't think he deserves it 2bh
>higuain
Lmao
>aguero
Lmaoooooo
>di maria
LMAOOOOOOOO
>bale
He's already on the cover of other video games
>mahrez
Belongs with vardy I think
>pogba
Ehhhhhhhhhh
>lacazette
Who?
>and many many more
Like who? I found like 4 legit choices

To be fair: the French provided the battlefield and the hookers not much more.

Is this confirmed?.

If so EA is fucking useless at historical games. They should just focus on their bullshit sports games and the sims.

Any game about ww1 without france and russia is bullshit.

I know that Giroud is universally hated, but he scored more goals than Martial last season, he's the best looking player in the world and he can actually get in his NT's starting 11

>he's the best looking player in the world
Nah, his fucking skin is awful.

at least it isn't black.

LOL good. Nobody want that fucking autistic little faggot on a videogame box. Fifa is a game for friends not autistic loser. Here is the best type of box for Messi to cover

1. Cheese Pizza box
2. Milk Carton (because milk is good cooling for people who can't handle Chile!)
3. Toolbox, is good for hiding tacks (tax)
4. Lunch box, for the autistic kid who sits on his own and has anchovies from a can with cheese
5. Sega Sonic the Hedgehog game box
6. Postbox because autists use letter and not email
7. Toy box for train figures
8. Chocolate box to give autistic kid a treat from after he has a day without autism fits (he will associate his hero messi with the reward)
9. Wine Box, so mother of autistic child can tell her autistic child 'I am just playing with Messi' when she get drunk to avoid suicide due to pain of having autist as kid
10. Cake box, including Messi cake for autists birthday

9001. football videogame box
900002. Music Ballet box, autists are scared of music and women so Messi isnt a good mascot

It should either be a Leciester cover, Bale or Nerman in that order.

Anything else makes no sense

>no payet

you will be able to play russians in a DLC.

ww1 tanks are faster than ww2 tanks

there are zeppelins with turbo chargers

the main character will be a nigger smashing white peoples face in

and 30% of the german army will be niggers too becuz muh diversity. ( confirmed )

we have lethal hookers then they killed 1 million+ germans with their infected cunts

...

Is there any trench warfare/management or is it still a glorified fps?

I bet they include the Americans though and we pretend they are the heroes of every war ever again

new feature that works with playstation microphone, shout TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU into it, the louder the more tap ins ronaldo scores

You're right, you can't be proven wrong about it

pes is better

Vardy should get cover

anyone but Neymar pls

Technically, we were the heroes of WWI. It was just that we saved the Entente by sending money and supplies. Our actual soldiers were basically irrelevant.

I was mad at this too, until I realized the true intention behind it.
It's EA, so French army will be their next big DLC. Mark my words.

God why is every tripautist such an annoying faggot

Reus, it's already done guys.
