Increasing lack of officality in FIFA


Greetings,
Just got FIFA10 this Friday and the gameplay and visuals are surely sharp. But there's an ever increasing lack in authenticity going on in the series.
I'm Brazilian but I think I can make mine the words of many FIFA fans around the world who don't have their leagues featured in the game. And Why? Well because even though the Brazilian League is included it keeps losing licenses from the clubs and it's reached it's worst with FIFA 10.
Instead of working on correcting what was wrong on this department the game just got worse: Last year it was Internacional de Porto Alegre with no official Badge and Kits; Now it's Internacional, Fluminense, Gremio, Sport Recife, Goias (keeps generic like Inter), Corinthians and Even Pele's Club Santos.
One of the trademarks of the FIFA series has been the licenses.
If the producers didn't have time to work on this issues, perhaps you should've delayed the game release date.
I think the EA folks should include in the expansions of the game some feature to fix these things and get the official kits and Badges back on the clubs... Or at least make up some feature like game face, wich would enable console users to edit these kind of things and correct some stuff.
It happens for quite a while with other countries too like in Italy you had trouble with Sampdoria, Fiorentina, and last I checked Napoli and Cagliari are still featured with generic Badges/Kits... It's a shame.
It almost feels like a next gen edition of FIFA 96 for the sega genesis, only with better gameplay and all but you know what I mean, right? back then the onlu official things were the clubs and players names and I'm having a really bad feeling if this tradition keeps going of losing licenses or whatever you wanna call it, the game might as well change its name too.
Please EA, fix this.
