“We are aware of discussions around licensing of players in EA Sports FIFA,” EA told Eurogamer.
However, the dispute escalated yesterday after player agents threatened legal action against EA.
And it’s worth noting that both Ibrahimović and Bale have worked with EA Sports before on the FIFA games.
Yesterday, EA issued a statement responding to Zlatan’s tweets, telling Eurogamer it had worked with FIFPro for years to secure the rights of player likenesses for the FIFA games.
