Shame it is only one stadium. The Russia WC expension for FIFA had all the official stadiums.

They really killed the world cup in the game. I miss them actually making a game for it. I miss having to qualify for the tournament and than taking part in it. I can also run it back and get different scenarios. Now its just a quick mode to play. U should also be able to play online with people the whole tournament.

Really don’t get the two stadiums thing, does this mean England vs USA will be played at Wembley then, really will ruin the World Cup for authenticity.

Also worth noting, and maybe this is being refuted elsewhere, but I'm paying special attention to how carefully they worded this.

No word of authentic rosters, jerseys, national crests. Are we going to be playing with generic Brazil, Japan, Korea, etc because of licensing issues? The pool of national teams in the game is already poor. Will we be able to swap players in and out of squads to make them more WC-accurate? Will the World Cup teams that aren't in the base game be usable outside of the World Cup mode? How can the game be truly global when the entire continent of Africa has only one or two national teams in the base game?

World Cup versions of soccer games were some of my favorites over the years. Not having a full WC mode seems so bizarre yet totally spot-on with the direction sports gaming is headed. My hope is that FIFA somehow creates its own game that results in a superior option to the beyond-dated EA footy gameplay. They should be begging 2k to make this game with/for them.

Yea I really don’t trust anything they’re saying. It’s sad that I was watching that video and heard “free update” and I immediately thought “ok there’s a catch.” Last couple of World Cup implementations have been so bare and uninteresting. 2010 was truly the last WC game that had THE magic. Now it’s just a dubbed down update with no attention to authenticity and dedication
