EA SPORTS FIFA Mobile also gets an update
EA SPORTS has also announced the latest update for EA SPORTS FIFA Mobile on iOS and Android devices. The latest update coming to EA SPORTS FIFA Mobile will include a new Manager Mode, which allows players to plan strategies, adjust tactics in real-time to outsmart opponents, and win games to earn rewards to rise through the ranks of Division Rivals to become a FIFA Champion.
It's a new auto-play mode, giving players full command of the team's tactics and strategies, putting players in command of dozens of different tactical levers. There are 4 preset tactics including Attack, Control, Counter and Defense. Choosing your tactics will depend on your team's strengths and weaknesses, but also on your opponent and the game situation. FIFA Mobile will also allow players to customize their tactics so they can adjust the 4 existing tactics or completely revise them to suit their team's needs.
Also new in the latest update, fans will be able to support their favorite national teams by equipping teams with Kits, Logos and Crests from over 30 National Teams. The update will also include gameplay improvements including new player switching options, better goalkeepers and tweaked foot errors.
Manager Mode is now available on EA SPORTS FIFA Mobile devices on iOS and Android devices.
EA SPORTS FC and LA LIGA
Although there is much more than football at Electronic Arts, it is also true that FIFA has a very important weight in the company and that way, its updates, improvements and innovations don't stop (and can't stop).
Recently, EA Sports revealed a partnership with LALIGA, thus reinforcing the company's presence in one of the most mediatic championships in the world. In this way, this partnership will allow both parties to offer innovative experiences for football fans worldwide.
Starting with the 2023/2024 season, the partnership between EA SPORTS FC and LaLiga will include naming rights for all LaLiga competitions, a complete rebrand of LaLiga with EA SPORTS, including all logos, graphics , fonts and other visuals, while offering new in-game integrations, TV broadcast highlights and commitments to support structural initiatives.
