It’s a new era for generations of soccer and gaming fans. Last year, publisher EA Sports split with FIFA, soccer’s global governing body, ending a three-decade licensing deal. The breakup means that one of the most popular and enduring gaming franchises can no longer call itself FIFA and has been renamed to EA Sports FC as of this year.
