>The Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi will not be on the cover of FIFA’s incredibly popular series for the first time since FIFA 12.
>The vote will be between Manchester United’s Anthony Martial, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez and Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus, with voting opening today and closing on July 20th.
>United’s Anthony Martial, Chelsea’s Eden Hazard, Real Madrid’s James Rodriguez and Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus
>literally whos that never achieved anything for the cover
wtf none of them can be in the starting XI of their clubs or NT.
Kevin Collins
What if the players refuse to let EA use their image?
Sebastian Murphy
I'm pretty sure most of them concede their image rights to their clubs when they sign their contracts
Noah Russell
They wouldn't if they know what's good for them
Noah Cooper
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.
Jayden Howard
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
James Jackson
>no Messi >not even anyone good to replace him >instead one of these these third rate ''''stars'''' JUST
Nicholas Long
Just read this. Worth a read if you're interested.
maybe they didn't renew Messi's contract for the cover because it's so expensive
Chase Sanchez
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
Joshua Martinez
Messi will be on the cover of PES 2017
Alexander Scott
>replace Messi on the cover
And those names are the best they could come up with?
David Hall
They could have at least had the decency to offer a vote for someone in Germany. You know, the current WC title holders?
Asher Wood
James is the most universally recognized star from that list, prove me wrong.
Brody Lewis
Götze would look good on the cover
Grayson Brooks
>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.
Christopher Jackson
>no vardy
why?
Angel Jones
>Martial really scraping the barrel here
Sebastian Howard
Goatse would look good on the cover.
Jace Young
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.
Colton Lopez
This. Goatze, Vardy, would have been better choices than the relatively literally whos aside from James.
Landon Cruz
Lol at the idea of Vardy's ugly mug. Sir Harry would be the obvious choice
Ian Powell
>Not world class striker and Euro 2016 Golden Boot Winner, Olivier Giroud
Jack Powell
>not wanting to be in the cover of the most famous football game
Noah Thompson
None of those guys are even among the 10 best players in the world, why are they the options?
Jonathan Ward
Why not? Maybe they don't want to be associated with this shit.
Anthony Bennett
>James
Carson Collins
So how's that AFA going Argenbro? Did they fuck up again or what?
Samuel Rogers
I would choose, in order >James >Martial >Reus >Hazard
Lincoln Roberts
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.
Jace Clark
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.
Evan Cox
Get off the proxy, Kevin I know that's how it works here but not with this
Luke Barnes
What has Higuain won other than Coppa Italia?
Robert Fisher
It should be Neur to be honest, he's too GOAT
Henry Sanchez
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.
Christopher Jenkins
this image should be in the cover of FIFA17
Brody Carter
>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?
Nolan Martinez
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.
Colton Phillips
Photoshop it onto Goatse's rectum.
Owen Bennett
>FIFA TSUUUUUUUUUUVENTEEN
I'd buy it
Josiah Rogers
>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.
Sebastian Thomas
ronaldo and neymar are with pes
Wyatt Jackson
>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'?
Asher Jenkins
They wanted to use Götze over Reus, but when designing the cover they came to realise that he didn't fit.
Matthew Taylor
But who will the arse bandits vote for??
Kevin Sanders
Because you fucking retards, they're popular. Remember the old Fifa covers? They didn't all have the best players.
Tyler Smith
I get it. cause Gotze GotFatz.
Sebastian Perez
All 4 of those are jokes. They should put Suarez or Bale on it.
Dylan Smith
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.
Lucas King
Should be: Lewandowski Griezmann Neymar Harry Kane Alexis Sanchez
Angel Long
imagine they put a burger player
Thomas Wood
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
Jackson Turner
Real talk i would rather have the whole Iceland team on the cover
Ryder Russell
They used to for the US version. It was either Donovan or Dempsey.
Tyler Kelly
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
Dylan Sullivan
...
Christopher Thomas
Poo in loos will vote for Martial and there's literally nothing you can do about it
Jaxon Adams
reus starts for dortmund, and he would start for germany if he wasn't always hurt
Oliver Gomez
imagine they put a female burger player
Christian Richardson
Bale is 26, how is he old? He is younger than Reus.
Juan Ortiz
>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
Ethan Carter
FIFA is shit anyway a lot of fags will continue to buy it because muh online PES is better now
Wut? Martial is a Euro 2016 winner It's staying home, lads
Jonathan Evans
they forgot about france in their WWI game, no wonder they forgot about the GOAT on their fifa game cover
Josiah Brooks
they what? is this for real?
Christopher Gray
Suarez is a bit controversial in general and I wouldn't put him either.
Kevin Moore
of course user.
just google it
Noah Morgan
Yep They made a WW1 game in which you can play Brits, Italians, African-Americans and Bedouins but not the French
Zachary Richardson
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
Brayden Baker
Will the Curse of the FIFA cover be broken?
Camden Stewart
If you're measuring them by how hard they flopped, I'd say he's 1st.
Luis Morales
>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
Sebastian Nguyen
To be fair: the French provided the battlefield and the hookers not much more.
Bentley Wright
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.
Jackson Rodriguez
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
Jason Brooks
>he's the best looking player in the world Nah, his fucking skin is awful.
Angel Davis
at least it isn't black.
Benjamin Gomez
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
David Ramirez
It should either be a Leciester cover, Bale or Nerman in that order.
Anything else makes no sense
Aiden Gonzalez
>no payet
Jace Phillips
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 )
David Jackson
we have lethal hookers then they killed 1 million+ germans with their infected cunts
Sebastian Butler
...
Jace Baker
Is there any trench warfare/management or is it still a glorified fps?
Oliver Moore
I bet they include the Americans though and we pretend they are the heroes of every war ever again
Jaxon Morgan
new feature that works with playstation microphone, shout TSUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU into it, the louder the more tap ins ronaldo scores
Mason Butler
You're right, you can't be proven wrong about it
Cooper Watson
pes is better
Daniel Brooks
Vardy should get cover
Brandon Fisher
anyone but Neymar pls
Gavin Harris
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.
Nathaniel Barnes
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.
Isaac Roberts
God why is every tripautist such an annoying faggot
