FIFA 17 Iranian players

That is not the official Indian League, it is the ISL not the I-League

Dafuq, there's a difference? India's weird.

Indian league has a number of star players though, I remember Robert PIRES came out of retirement temporarily to play there. Arsenal fans would be orgasmic to have been able to use him again even with a very low overall. Plus India has fixed their marketing problems (hence India is in the game) so they're far ahead of us to making it to EA.

Too bad Creation Centre has been removed. I used to download TM and IPL when it was available.

Honestly, we don't even need our whole league in the game. Just Team Melli and our Asian Champions League teams, like in PES.

Even my khareji friends complain that Iran NT is not in FIFA 17, lol.

They always speak highly of Sardar Azmoun and often ask me how he is doing at Rostov and when he's going to make a big move.

Don't get your hopes up until at least Iran wins 2 new AFC championship leagues and also makes it to quaterfinals in wc.

There are still ways to get around the lack of proper copyright laws. Here, read this portion of an article on Iran's video game industry, it will explain:

Years later, Ahmadi is flaunting Iran’s market at Casual Connect in Singapore and schmoozing with Blizzard and EA reps while manning the Iran booth at Gamescom. He reports his findings back to Iran’s ever-curious game developers, recounting how his statistics on the Iranian market rouse foreign publishers.

"In one month, Pro Evolution Soccer sold five million copies," Ahmadi says, referring to a Bonyad estimate of PES 2013’s sales that also factors in black market data. "I was talking to one of EA’s marketing managers at Gamescom about Pro Evolution Soccer [in Iran] and he told me he couldn’t believe it." These may be cheap, pirated copies nestled in flimsy cardboard sleeves, but the Bonyad’s statistics show that sports is Iran’s most popular game genre.

Ahmadi switches course to the industry’s competing soccer juggernaut to draw up a potential sales strategy for first-timers looking to make a foray into Iran. "You can’t compare this with a copy of FIFA in the U.S. that’s being sold for $99 [sic]," he says. "But if the sanctions are removed and a company like EA comes along and says, given [Iran’s financial situation], ‘I’ll sell it here officially for $10 [USD].’ And then you end up selling four million copies at $10 each — how attractive is that? In contrast to selling, I don’t know, maybe 10,000 copies at $99 each?"

"These are the kinds of policies I’m after," Ahmadi says. "Even though copyright doesn’t exist in Iran, I want to talk to these publishers and tell them you can tailor your game for the Iranian market with a [local] price so you have a competitive advantage for gamers here. So instead of buying a pirated game [on the cheap], they’ll go ahead and buy an original copy, and when you buy the original, you have access to all the features." Features like official Persian-language localization and unfettered online play, all packed into an affordable region-locked copy that can’t be smuggled — or downloaded — elsewhere to upset industry pricing norms.

Sure it may not have a major impact and the league will probably not be added, but it literally takes like 3 seconds of your time, and at least it lets EA know that there is a considerable amount of interest in the PGPL

Let me walk this over with you:

- EA sees interest in IPL, sees Iran's marketing shamble.

- Iran notices EA interest, but fixing market has nothing to do with duas and Quran recitals, therefore no fucks given.

- EA can't make profit from putting league, therefore IPL ignored yet again.

The core problem here is the moronic mullahs are too stupid and incompetent to fix actual problems in Iran and that's why this will never, ever work (ever). I gave my vote to Chinese league because they frankly deserve it
