Over the years there have been very few products that I have stuck with and I’m loyal to. One of the main ones would have to be FIFA the video game. This is a game made by EA Sports that has been around since 1993. They make a new game every year where they update the game in many aspects. The first time I had the game was in 1999. My parents bought me the game for Nintendo 64 and I vaguely remember playing it with my brother. I’ve had every FIFA since and when I was kid I would usually get it on Christmas. Over the years it just became a family tradition. Once I could get job I even began to spend my own money to buy the game. The loyalty towards the game stems partially from my childhood. It brings this sort of nostalgic feeling. However, …show more content…
A lot of this criticism in the past came from the fact that they were not engage with the community. However, this has changed in the past years. They have been incredibly active on social media. They have also heavily listened to community concerns and actually change aspects of the game based on it. Another aspect I really enjoy from FIFA is their advertising. They have partnerships with big names in the soccer world. Thus, there commercials are high quality and almost always go viral. Most of these ads come in a very specific time of year which is usually around September 1st. They line up with the start of soccer leagues around the world. In way this time of the year, for soccer fans, feels like the way the holiday season feels. Overall, FIFA has a lot of positives in advertising as well with the product, however, regardless of all that I’m at the stage that no matter what, I have to buy the new version. It has become a must have that I don’t even bother to think about it. The only way that that would change would be if the competitor completely beat FIFA in all aspects of the game. Their biggest hurdle would be the licenses of teams since FIFA has mostly monopolize the big clubs, and even then, it would not be enough. Knowing this my customer lifetime value would be around $600. This the price of the game $60 * 10 years. This value is basically guaranteed for
I remember my dad always watching soccer news every night before going to bed. All my family loves soccer, we have this tradition that when a Mexican team plays we all get together to watch the game at my mom’s house. I think that’s what makes me love soccer as much as I do. Playing soccer also helps me to relax and to be confident when I have stress or after a long day at work. It's not just about kicking the ball or scoring
Soccer (Football) is said to be the world’s most popular sport in the world, USA are one the few countries where soccer isn't the main sport. The beautiful game is a game of passion; fans coming together to form a ‘religion’ but all this fun and excitement come down to money. The football business is one that generates a great deal of revenue from betting to tickets, TV and shirts sponsorship and transfer deals. You can argue it’s the richest sport in the world. Here in America we are late boomers to the soccer craze, which is why our league isn't as strong as other like the Barclays Premier League, LA LIGA, Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Serie A etc. In the year 1996, MLS was founded and the association was not favorably disposed to by the general public. As time went by, more Americans accepted and grew interest in sport. The Major League Soccer and United States Soccer Association (USSA) have since had hard time attracting revenue due to numerous problems.

Athletes that play football at the college level serves the same purpose National Football League (NFL) athletes serve. At least, that is what many people think in the world we live in today. College football players play the game of football, are shown on television, and are looked up to by young people just like professional football players. The only difference between the two is NFL players get paid and college players do not. This is what leave football fans with an interesting question. Should college football players get paid like NFL players? This is the question many people want to know the answer to. Although college football players do share characteristics with professional football players, they should not be paid any money. The
Changes can be made to try to make the sport safer, but as time goes on players will continue to get bigger and stronger, and we can’t change the fact that it is a full contact sport. Injuries will be inevitable, some will be minor and others can be fatal. Is a human life worth less than money or entertainment? Players risk the chance of a healthy future every time they step on the field. The human body is not made to take that continuous and ferocious impact game after game. Many players sell themselves short while putting their bodies in harm’s way which increases their probability of health complications down the road. If the violent aspect of the game is not addressed, it will negatively impact the future of players and the sport. Hopefully, the studies and research that is made public can somehow find a way to make the game safer for the players. Until that day comes, football is much too dangerous and not worth the
The impact that soccer has had on the United States has drastically changed the American society and it will continue to mold the culture for years to come. Soccer, in one or more ways, has had some part in the lives every American citizen, whether it be the money spent by the government on stadiums and professional teams, or the time spent watching and playing the game. Although the sport did not have a strong early presence in American lives it has substantially grown in recent years, thus effectively popularizing soccer in every corner of the globe. The sport plays an important role in modern American society and has a bright future ahead of it.
No other country can compare to the great nation of Brazil when it comes to the beautiful game of soccer. Since their entrance as full member of FIFA, or Fédération Internationale de Football Association, in 1923, the country of Brazil has accounted for numerous trophies as well as individual awards for its players (“Brazil”). Brazilian futebol, or soccer, has reached international stardom because of its history consisting of ground breaking teams, revolutionary players, and winning performances in competitive tournaments.
Football is all about money. Money is football. On the other hand, there is a case to be made for money having a positive effect on football. Some may argue that English football – not to mention the British economy – has benefitted hugely from the cash that has flowed into the game from commercial interests in the form of sponsorship, broadcasting rights and merchandising. If it was looked at as a normal business most people including football fans would likely be lauding the success of the Premier League which would be a massive business success.
Being born and growing up in America, you realize that some things that we do here are way different than what they do on the outside of the country. Nevertheless, there are similarities, but one topic that we can talk about will give you a better understanding of what I am trying to say. The sport of football some even call it America’s pastime. Remembering the days when we would where are Eagles jerseys cheering on Donovan McNabb while eating delicious burgers that my uncle cooked on the grill. I swear those were some of the best days of my life, especially in 2005 when the Eagles came to Jacksonville for the Super Bowl. Even though I was born in America, my mother and grandmother are from Belize. Also, in their culture football is what we
Once again, after a successful season, Shadle Park was defeated by a Big 9 school in the first game of the regional tournament. This reoccurring event has led many to believe that the four year football program puts GSL students at a disadvantage compared to other districts. A junior high school football program would not only increase the competitiveness of the students but also have more important consequences.

FIFA18 provides a service for live chat with the officers directly in order to ask for help according to EA official website[3], whereas PES2018 provides only frequently asked questions or FAQ to the customers according to Konami official website[4]. Furthermore, EA has more than 25 official offices around the world, but Konami has only 8 official offices in the world[4]. Hence, the game that has efficient and sufficient customer services will be able to maintain the number of players in their game. All of these are the differences between PES2018 and FIFA18. The differences begin with the number of licenses that FIFA18 has higher licenses than PES2018, and FIFA18 also has better in graphics and customer services.
In stadiums, parks and fields all across America, many youth participate in a journey through defeat, heartbreak, hard work, and success. Practicing for hours, rain or shine, to be able to snag that game winning touchdown in the back of the endzone. Although football comes with many risks and dangers, I strongly believe that kids and teens should be allowed to play football because it promotes leadership, teamwork, and requires significant amounts of exercise and cardiovascular activity, and other contact sports are just as dangerous.
It was a gloomy day, Hurricane Hermine blew past Greenville leaving behind scattered puddles across campus as well as lingering clouds blocking most of the sunlight.

The two institutions haven’t played each other since 1981 and it was sure to be an interesting match up, football season was back in full swing and this match would define the success to come for the home team.
