FIFA 17 Wishlist and Rumours: New Leagues
This is the time of the year in which everyone has an opinion. Everyone dreams with the perfect FIFA. Let see what the community wants. Write in the comments section which new leagues you would like to see in FIFA 17.
There are many FIFA 17 rumours, but most of them are fake. We picked the most reliable rumours, added our perception and share our opinion with you about the most likely FIFA 17 new leagues.
The main leagues from Brazil, Israel and Ukraine are by far the most wanted. But the community wants to see even more leagues in FIFA 17. They also want other new leagues, as the main ones from China, Japan and India. Let’s see if they will get lucky…
Japanese League
Likelihood: Confirmed
Name: J-League
Current Champions: Sanfrecce Hiroshima
Other Popular Clubs: Kashima Antlers, Gamba Osaka and Kashiwa Reysol
As one of the most popular leagues in Asia, the J1 League has a global fan base and is one of the most requested leagues from the FIFA community. All 18 clubs that make up the J1 League will feature authentic logos, kits, and rosters. Content from these clubs will be in our popular FIFA 17 Ultimate Team and other modes across the game.
Brazilian League
Likelihood: Medium
Name: Serie A (Brasileirão)
Current Champions: Corinthians
Other Popular Clubs: Santos, Palmeiras, São Paulo, Flamengo, Cruzeiro and Fluminense
EA Sports has decided to drop this league in FIFA 16 because of problems with image rights. The players from Brazil were no longer represented by FIFPro and, since this was the association which mediated the negotiations, they started to negotiate individually. Something completely impractical. For FIFA 17, the producer has made a huge effort to ensure the return of the Brasileirão but for now there is still no sure if it will be included or not.
Chinese League
Likelihood: Medium
Name: Chinese Super League
Current Champions: Guangzhou Evergrande
Other Popular Clubs: Shandong Luneng, Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou R&F
It is known that Electronic Arts have been closing deals with the most popular Chinese clubs. This is the perfect timing to add the league to the game because many popular players moved to China and the league has now more fans than ever.
Autenticity
Likelihood: High
FIFA 17 will be the most authentic game of the series as the agreements all around the world show.
La Liga seams to have good chances of having the same treatment the Barclays PL had in FIFA 15, after the deal signed with Electronic Arts. In other words, besides fully licenses, there will be more careful in replicating every detail, from the advertising boards to the television broadcasts.
