FIFA 23 correctly picks fourth consecutive world champion from EA Sports

In what could be the publisher’s last dance with the FIFA World Cup, EA Sports correctly predicted Argentina as world champions, hitting the mark on their last four predictions.

The simulation of the World Cup runs through an unscientific time FIFA 23named the winner though missed out on a few minor points

. On Sunday at the real World Cup, Argentina defeated France on penalties after a wild 3-3 draw in regular time and extra time. EA’s prediction had Brazil as the second-place victim (despite having France in third place). And Lionel Messi hasn’t won the Golden Boot for most goals in the tournament since FIFA predicted, although it took France’s Kylian Mbappe a hat-trick for the ages in the final to overtake Messi’s 11 goals in the tournament.

35-year-old Messi landed the World Cup Golden Ball (best player) as FIFA 23 Forecast on November 8th and made history as the only two-time winner of this award. So we will say that EA Sports got the overall score here. Or another term Yanks only use when talking about football like they do fictitious agreement.

EA Sports correctly chose Europe in 2010 (with FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa); Germany 2014 (with 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil

) and France in 2018 (with fifa 18).

Electronic Arts and FIFA will part ways after the latest installment of the global bestseller, ending a 30-year partnership. The next release, expected in early fall, will be called EA Sports FC and must not bear any trademarks or symbols of FIFA.

Actually, they would only be necessary in four years, when the next World Cup tournament is held in North America. FIFA in May announced that it is “collaborating with publishers, studios and investors in the development of [a] big new simulation soccer title for 2024.”
