“FIFA 16” is underway, and marketing about the game is already very active, with lots of players hyped up about the new release. EA have been doing a good job handling their relations with the community too, and so far this is shaping up to be a very solid release that could shoot the franchise even further forward. It’s already the leading title in the world of football games and even sports games in general, but there’s no doubt that EA can do even more to ensure that “FIFA” gets a lot of recognition.
Now, the studio has decided to get their fans even more involved in the next game, giving them the opportunity to vote for the player that’s going to appear on the cover of “FIFA 16”. There are several choices available, and players are given different tools to raise their opinions. They can show their support on Twitter, as well as by playing the game – and they will earn points that they can then contribute to their favorite player.
The campaign will be running until July 5, so those who want to get their favorite star on the cover of the next game don’t have a lot of time to make their own contributions. Lionel Messi has already been decided for the cover, but he will be joined by another player who hasn’t been set in stone yet – and looking at the way the voting has been going so far, it’s really hard to tell who’s going to come out victorious in the end.
It’s worth noting that this campaign is only valid for several regions where the game will be sold – namely Australia, France, Latin America, Mexico and the UK. In these countries, the game’s cover is going to feature the voted player, but we have no information about the situation in other parts of the world.
The cover is also going to be unique for each of the five countries, and players in each of them have been given a different set of players to choose from. For example, UK fans can pick from Thibaut Courtois, Jordan Henderson, Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane.
Players can cast a single “regular” vote every day until the voting closes, but there are also ways to gain additional votes, for those who want to truly get themselves involved in the voting and help their favorite players rise to the top. Players have various options for contributing extra effort, and it looks like everyone has been given a good chance.
