FIFA 21 is bringing back one of the bigger fan-favorite SBCs after tossing them aside in FIFA 20. Icon SBCs were always a solid way to slowly build up to getting the most famous players in your squad. EA replaced them with Icon Swaps last year, which gave players a chance to earn Icons through

Today marks what is, most likely, the final season for FIFA 20 before everyone moves over to FIFA 21. Some were hoping the team at EA would really blow the content out in a major way. Unfortunately, it’s mostly more of the same. However, there are a few fun little additions that might entice some
For better or worse, Ultimate Team is where EA Sports makes all their money in FIFA. While the team does appear to be giving other modes a bit of extra love in FIFA 21, FUT continues to be a major focus. There are a ton of changes coming to one of the most profitable modes

Today, EA Sports provided fans with their first real look at FIFA 21. Of course, it was mostly just real-life football players hamming it up for the camera, but there were like two whole seconds of gameplay in there! And, the team did launch a new web page that gives quite a bit of important
For FIFA 20 FUT players everywhere, today is an important day. With Summer Heat starting to wind down after over a month of solid content, EA Sports has officially dropped some of the year’s best cards back into packs.

Today’s EA Play event included several first looks at upcoming games, including FIFA 21. Unfortunately, the presentation didn’t drop much info about this year’s iteration.

You’d be forgiven if you assumed EA would bring some top-tier content to FIFA 20 as Team of the Season So Far is winding down and the final round of Icon Swaps have now ended. But instead, they’ve seemingly elected to go out with a whimper in place of that massive bang many expected. That

NBA Street. NFL Blitz. NHL Hitz. The list of all-time classic arcade sports games is long and varied. However, in recent years, sports simulators have completely overtaken the market.

Smalldini is back in FIFA 20, baby! Seriously though, the Serie A Team of the Season So Far squad is likely not as hyped up as some of the other major leagues. That said, for fans of the league past FIFAs, this team has some fun players for you to pack. Check out the full
It’s week four of the ongoing Team of the Season So Far promo in FIFA 20, and the team at EA doesn’t look to be slowing down anytime soon.

We are deep into Team of the Season So Far season in FIFA 20 Ultimate Team. This period of the game brings out each league’s biggest and brightest with brand new promo cards that boast insane stats. Last week, we had the English Premier League, and now the Spanish La Liga gets their turn. As
With many of the year’s biggest gaming events such as E3 and EVO being canceled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the status of Electronic Arts’ annual EA Play event also seemed to be unlikely to occur. As of today, we now know that EA Play will still be held next month in June, but
It’s that time of the year again folks! FIFA 20 is starting up one of the most exciting promos of the year with Team of the Season (So Far).

One of FIFA’s yearly promos is the exciting FUT Birthday. Traditionally, this promo celebrates the anniversary of Ultimate Team making its way into the game.

Last week, as the sports world shut down, many FIFA 20 fans wondered what EA was planning to do with their weekly Team of the Week promo.
