Are you a fan of both the FIFA series AND Mexico’s thrilling Liga MX? The shift to EA FC has been bittersweet – great changes, but also some licensing losses.
Sadly, Liga MX is one of them. Why Liga MX is no more in EA FC 24?
The Short Answer: Licenses, Licenses, Licenses
The reason Liga MX is missing from EA FC 24 boils down to licensing agreements.
They are like permission slips – EA needs “permission” from Liga MX to use their teams, logos, and players. These deals are complex, and sometimes they don’t get made.
The Konami Deal
The real kicker here is that Liga MX signed an exclusivity deal with Konami, the makers of eFootball. That means, for now, you can only find fully licensed Liga MX teams in their rival soccer game.
How Long Until Liga MX Might Return?
Unfortunately, there’s no clear answer. Licensing deals can last for varying lengths of time. It’s possible we might see Liga MX back in EA’s game in the future, but it could take a while.
The same licensing issues are behind the lack of Liga MX teams in the mobile version.
It’s frustrating, but that’s the nature of these deals! Sometimes, leagues even sign with specific studios to make their own games.
While losing a major league like Liga MX stings, remember that EA FC still has tons of other leagues, teams, and players. The gameplay is evolving in exciting ways, and there’s the promise that EA, free from some FIFA restrictions, can try truly new things.
Final Words
Licensing deals change all the time! Maybe down the line, EA Sports and Liga MX will work out a new agreement. Until then, eFootball is the place to find those familiar Mexican teams – or who knows, you might discover a new favorite league in EA FC!
