FIFA 15 WON’T INCLUDE DOMESTIC BRAZIL TEAMS

FIFA 15 won’t include Brazilian domestic teams, EA Sports has confirmed.

Changes to the way players are licensed in those leagues means the likes of Pato, Kaka and Ronaldinho may not make the cut, though players who are part of teams in other leagues and the Brazilian national team have apparently made the cut.

“Today, we want to inform you that due to some changes in the ways players are licensed in Brazil domestic leagues, we were unable to reach an agreement with the Brazilian rights holders for their inclusion in FIFA 15,” EA said in a statement.

“While this is unfortunate news for many of our fans, we were able to retain the Brazil National Team in FIFA 15 as well as the Brazilian stars that play in other top leagues around the world. Thanks for your understanding as we continue to keep the lines of communication open with the Brazilian rights holders.”

FIFA 14 included 19 Brazilian teams, including Palmeiras, Santos, São Paulo and Vasco da Gama. For now though, it looks like if your favourite is only available in the South American country’s league you won’t be able to play them come September unless they transfer beforehand.
