According to EA Sports' official list: Hungary, Portugal, and Ukraine are the only new fully Licensed National Teams in FIFA 22. While many teams are deleted.
That's good to have these National Teams, but where's Uruguay. The Uruguayan Football Association wanted to add the National Team in FIFA 22 and they were in advanced negotiation with EA Sports. What happened? And why did EA Sports delete Uruguay from the game? That's unknown.
EA Sports added Algeria as a new team to the FIFA Database Code, so we expected to see a Generic National Team for Algeria in FIFA 22. But in FIFA 22, EA deleted all of the Unlicensed National Teams at all. That's also strange. Maybe, Algeria will come in a Title Update. Let's see what will happen.
I understand the idea of only having fully Licensed National Teams, but if you don't have all Nationals as Licensed, so leave them as Unlicensed but don't delete them. I really hope if EA Sports will share a statement to explain the idea of the removal of 17 National Teams.
17 National Teams have been removed in FIFA 22:
Bolivia, Bulgaria, Cameroon, Chile, Ivory Coast, Ecuador, Egypt, India, Paraguay, Peru, Slovenia, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, Uruguay, Venezuela, Colombia, Ukraine
Confirmed: Ukraine is the only new one that is added!
Anyway, I can't wait to hear more about the partnership between EA Sports and Lega Serie A. As we talked about the Lega Serie A License, we have to mention some new things about the one of UEFA Europa Conference League & AS Monaco.
MLB The Show 21 have set the standard for crossplay support in sports gaming, we should expect FIFA to take notice and move toward these new features with their own 2021 releases.
According to FIFA 22 rating database: Algeria is a new national team in FIFA 22. Also, Portugal and Belgium women's national teams have appeared on the list. They are the newly added women's national teams of FIFA 22.
Today there should be pitch notes released for Career Mode but some new features were discussed already so let's take a look at them.
