Pro Clubs, Career Mode, Ultimate Team, and the licensed players showcased up to this point are confirmed to make return appearances in the EA SPORTS FC 2023 title, along with several new additions.

EA plans to reveal more information on the future of its football franchise in the Summer of 2023, so fans can expect EA's summer showcase to shed some light on the future of EA SPORTS.

What caused the split between EA and FIFA is unknown. Still, fans speculate the deteriorating perception of EA and its predatory microtransaction systems played a part in the downfall of this once rock-solid partnership.
