More National Teams removed
Why is it what seems like it’s every year, men’s national teams are being removed? I heard that New Zealand have been removed and they only added Denmark and Poland for women’s national team. ...

Community ManagerHey DrRichOldman00 what players and teams are included in game comes down to numerous factors with licensing being a major one.
In many cases it simply is not possible for the team to include some teams due to the license not being available.

I'm sorry but that's not an excuse, EA literally earn billions of dollars of FUT alone, they're a multi-billion dollar company that makes record profits every year, the fact that EA have not invested $$$ into bringing in more licensed national teams is ludicrous, they have the resources and finances to do so, they just don't care.
Also the NTs don't have to be fully licensed, most people wouldn't mind generic kits and flags, we just want more national teams for a more realistic experience in Career Mode, a FOOTBALL game not having the Brazil National Team is genuinely pathetic.

Not everything is about money ZizziZizou. Many of the teams and leagues that are not part of the game have licenses with others.

Could you elaborate or give an example because that statement does not make sense.
We do not mind the national teams being unlicensed. It has nothing to do with whether ea has the licenses or not. We’re ok with generic badges and kits, we just want the ability to have international tournaments in the game. It’s really not that hard.
Licenses are sold to the highest bidder, and for the past 5-6 years EA have completely ignored Italian football, making Serie A saves practically unplayable, not to mention we literally had the Brazilian NT on the game for 10+ years, yet now them returning anytime soon seems very unlikely and back on FIFA 21 we had 50 NTs yet on FC 25 we only had 29... and how can I forget how EA have COMPLETELY ignored the Eastern Europe/Balkans & Africa we have no Africans leagues, no Croatian, Hungarian, Serb, Greek and Slovenian leagues, just nothing.
As for the Americas, no Mexican, Ecuadorian, Chilean, Colombian or Brazilian Leagues, but for some reason the Indian & Chinese League are included in the game, two leagues that most FC/FIFA fans really don't care about.
Why can't we have NTs with generic kits and flags?
For a company that markets it's product as the "World's Game" it's not good enough considering the amount of finances and resources that are at EA's disposal, you guys only care about the PL, La Liga & Bundesliga since your brand ambassadors are playing in these leagues; only 3 leagues out of a possible 200 actually get given attention by EA, it's a disgrace.
I have to agree with you there and well said.
