Basically, what we get from FIFA in a non-World Cup year is the four letters on the front of the box. FIFA is just the name on the box, but they’ve precluded our ability to be able to branch into the areas that players want.

It appears that the company hasn’t had the freedom to experiment with the franchise where they are limited to 11v11 matches. As we’ve reported before, FIFA is looking for over $1 billion in the course of 4 years for their license.

Wilson has go on and said that the company doesn’t want to pay more money that what’s been asked of them.
