FIFA, also known as the International Federation of Association Football, is probably the biggest sport humans have ever created. Hence, it should be no surprise that it’s extremely popular in pop culture, media, and video games. Over the last two decades, Electronic Arts have releasedFIFAtitles yearly, and the series fans have played them every time.

While thegames have evolved a lot since 1998, at some point in time, they became a bit too stagnant. Despite that,EAhas continually shed out new FIFA titles and milked the series the best they could. Currently, FIFA games are just as popular, but the morale is at an all-time low, and the user scores are even worse. So, it is the best time to look at some memes and laugh at the tragedy of EA and FIFA.
13Happy New Year
If people have one gripe with FIFA games, it’s the fact that they’re yearly releases. It’s understandable that many people play sports games to assume control of a certain team or player. However, just roster change should not be enough reason for EA to shed out new games at full prices every year.
They can easily update the game with each new year or perhaps convert it into alive service title. After all, how worse can it get than it already is?
12Back To The Past
If there’s one thing no one likes, it’s fans acting dumb to defend crappy practices by multi-billionaire companies. After all, it is evident that publishers like EA and Activision only care about one thing: making money.
It’s hilarious when casual players can tell FIFA has been the same game for the last five years while fans defend them for barely any changes. ThisBack To The Futurememe perfectly fits how fanboys view games like FIFA compared to the rest of the world.
11Can’t Wait For The Next FIFA Game
Talking about the similarity between yearly FIFA games, this image sums it up pretty well. However, people should not blame the popular Football game for doing this exclusively. Almost every sports title in the market tries to sell the same game with minor visual changes every year.
Be it the NBA 2K series, the disaster that is NFL, or the WWE 2K series. Every game is just new skin, same fruit. People will have to stop buying these games to make an impact, or else giants likeEA or 2K won’t stop.
10EA Games Challenge Everything
Ironically or unironically, EA has finally challenged everything and succeeded in being hated by almost everyone. The yearly releases of FIFA games, or the uninspiredBattlefield 2042, every game major game EA has put out in the last few years, have garnered hate on the internet.

Be it for their micro-transaction practices or the completely bogus Origin store. EA has completely turned off everyone, which is certainly an achievement.
9Equality For Ping
The multiplayer ping issue is prevalent in almost every game on this planet. But while many good games try their best to minimize it, sports games are going in reverse. Be it FIFA, NBA, or WWE;the multiplayer experience is terribleif the person lives in an area with fewer players.
If that isn’t enough, the game’s multiplayer optimization works so that even the players who don’t have a terrible connection will suffer the same.
8Facts
Photoshopped search results or not. This meme is more or less a fact in 2022. Everyone in this world considers Electronic Arts to be trash, especially regarding their horrible practices. Over the last two decades, EA has massacred its reputation due to yearly releases of games like FIFA.
They’ve also added the Ultimate Team Microtransactions, which have earned them money but turned them into the equivalent of real-life trashbags.
7Fanboy-ism Or Illness
There aren’t many reasons to disown your family, but this may be one of them. Jokes apart, it’s hard to see someone you care about burning their money away buying the same game every year, especially when it is as uninspired as FIFA.
While people should be free to enjoy what they like, certain addictions aren’t good. It’s a big reason people group up to talk sense into their loved ones and make them understand what they’re doing wrong.
6FIFA Stands For Hell
Back when sports first made their way into the multiverse of video games, they were one of a kind and extremely fun to play.Games like Mario Golf, FIFA Street, and NBA Jam were all loved by hundreds of thousands of players around the globe.
However, in the last few years, things have changed a lot for video games—especially popular ones like FIFA. They’re no longer oozing with unique concepts and truly good design improvements. Instead, they’re just uninspired and boring.
5Good Guy EA
The whole Russian Ukraine thing has been terrible. Many companies have come forward to show their support by pulling out their services from the transcontinental country. However, some companies likeUbisoftand EA have stupidly removed Russian content from their game for no reason but to show they’re good guys.
This meme justifies how fake our world has become because showing off on the internet matters more than taking real actions.
4Looking For New Features
This meme is extremely relatable to anyone who’s ever played a new sports game. However, it’s even more relatable to people who play EA’s FIFA games. Back in the day, it used to be so easy for gamers to dive into a title and be dazzled by unique content and amazing graphics.

Some games like Elden Ring have done that in the modern-day as well. However, it’s almost impossible to find anything good about FIFA games in 2022.
