F**K EA Sports. I will boycott their upcoming FIFA 15 and recommend the same from you

[Dejagah]

Lol @ India, they have a country that not only it don't have a Sami pro soccer team but the biggest problem in that country is lack of toilet, yes toilets, majority of houses don't have a toilet and people do their business in streets and behind the trees!
By the way the only time India qualified for the World Cup they resigned because they had to play with shoes and they didn't know how!!! Lmfao

Hahahahaha Iranians make me lol. Yeah make Iran seem better by taking the piss out of countries like India. Fantastic logic.

How can you insult India like that then when someone makes comments about Iranians being terrorists etc etc you all get so defensive. Sort yourself out

This thread is just full of a bunch of Iranian expats with false pride about their own country, I'm astounded that so many of you are outraged at Iran not being in the FIFA games, you obviously have no idea about Iran or how things are run in Iran.

Also, to all the PES comments. PES stopped being a worthwhile game to play in like 2006 lol. The fact that some of you would rather play PES because it has some weird Iran-like team with fake names and faces is actually hilarious!

[persiangodfather]

I wont robb myself of enjoyment because of a bunch of akhoonds and idiots in iran want to keep the country the way it is.

Do you guys honestly believe EA will ever have Iran in their FIFA series under the islamic republic?

[IPG]

Good. Now explain Bulgaria.

Bulgaria plays in Europe as well as having a better football history than Iran with 2 Olympic Medals as well as semi-final place in World cup. Not to mention the level of players it has delivered over the years playing for the likes of Man U, Barca, Leverkusen, Porto etc. Think of players like Berbatov, Stoichkov, Kostadinov, Petrov etc.
They probably went in not just based on their current status but their history and their prior achievements and major players as well as being in Europa not Asia.

Lmao stupud iranians. Just look at our world cup performance, do we even deserve to be in fifa 15? We didnt even deserve to be in the WC.

Yeah, we almost drew argentina, hala ta 100 sale dige begim. We was the worst team in WC2014, period!

Extremely stupud comment igivekoontoiran.

good morning IQ! Maybe because our squad is not among the strongest in the World Cup?? Besides, if you don't like it, you can start cheering for Russia! And stop insulting Iranians and Iran in general!

[xerexes]

Lmao, what a stupud poster
If we was the worst team in the WC
then you is the worst poster on pfdc

Not just the worst poster on pfdc, but given his comically overcompensating username for a guy who can't stand Iranians and team melli, "igotloveforiran" may just be the worst troll on the internet.

[shahab110808]

there is no confirmation about national teams yet i searched so many website.

Licensing doesn't work that way. Iran did not sign away it's right to be portrayed in a video game just because it was involved in the World Cup. If that were the case, teams like Netherlands and others would never have to sign off on any licenses, since EA owns their continental tournaments, like Euro 2012 and 2016. Yet, each year, teams like the Netherlands and others are involved in licensing disagreements with EA. Your blanket statement and "Jesus," although simplistic, do not provide any factual assertions. Your logic is that EA signed a license with FIFA for the World Cup, and as a result could put every team, including Maldives, Bhutan, Djibouti and others who did not participate in the World Cup finals?

Study up on your trademark and licensing law. They still had to negotiate some form of licensing kits, stadiums etc. with uhlsport, Reebok, Iran, Maldives, etc. If you pay attention, some lower teams in the World Cup video games did not have their real kits, since EA did not negotiate with all kit providers. From this logic, your argument that they bought the world cup rights as a whole and got everything is false.

They still had to get Iran and Uhlsport to agree to be in the game. They did this since Iran qualified and they were going for authenticity, they wanted the real kits, names, etc.

They choose not to negotiate for a license with Iran every year for FIFA. They'd rather have Bulgaria in there. It is not because there are 1.5 Billion Indians and Bulgarians running to the stores to buy fifa.

You guys don't want to admit it, but there's an underlying reason. Of teams outside of Europe and South America, Iran is one of the teams that has had great success in a fairly respected region, but they get treated lower than teams that have no history, very little talent, and are newcomers to football.

It is not because "we suck" if it were, please tell me of all the world cup appearances, continental championships, and historical stars teams like Bulgaria and Montenegro have.

Sorry but Iran didn't. All teams that were attending the World Cup signed away their rights. As for your comment towards the Euro games, EA does not have the rights. They negotiate for the rights every time the tournament is on, just like they don't have the Champions League license (which over the past few years has been acquired by Konami.)

Yes, they have licensed teams in the game that did not attend the World Cup you are correct, and they go out and negotiate with those teams to be included.

I never said anything about Iran not being good enough football wise, that must've been someone else. EA decide not to negotiate with Iran because they don't need it, and it's too much of a hassle. Other teams like Bulgaria that you love to bash, are much easier to get licenses from. What you haven't mentioned is how Japan isn't in FIFA 14 or 15, and you can't tell me they aren't the behemoth on our continent.

History means nothing in this context if you haven't noticed. Bosnia got to the World Cup for the first time and beat us.

Iran, with licensed player names, kits, and logos and symbols was just in the World Cup edition of FIFA 14 and the separate world cup game. It is not a fact that they can't do it like you are arguing. They just choose not to. That's the problem. One of the perpetual giants of the always ignored AFC is left out of every game while a team like Bulgaria is in there for the past 5 years.

People saying I'm dumb for caring that our team is overlooked, why is Bulgaria in the game? I'd appreciate a logical reason why the giants Bulgaria are in the game.

They portrayed it in the game because they had gotten the World Cup license which includes all teams and players in the World Cup. Jesus.
