Ted Lasso and AFC Richmond Are Officially Going To Be In FIFA 23
It’s official Ted Lasso, Coach Beard, and the biggest stars of the AFC Richmond squad including Jamie Tartt, Dani Rojas, Sam Obisanya, Roy Kent, and Isaac McAdoo are going to be in FIFA 23, not only that their home ground and stadium Nelson Road will feature as well.
“One of the game’s great motivators” you will actually be able to choose Ted Lasso as your playable manager in Career Mode, as well as AFC Richmond by swapping them into the Premier League or any other playable Career Mode league.
For Career Mode, Kick-Off, Online Friendlies, and Online Seasons, AFC Richmond will also be a playable team including The Greyhounds’ Nelson Road home stadium.
EA said that “in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team™, you’ll be able to show your love for AFC Richmond with a series of customisation items including authentic kits and TIFOs, as well as being able to find and select Ted Lasso or Coach Beard as your club’s manager. All AFC Richmond content in FUT will be available through objectives and challenges.”
This looks like it will be the last game by EA to go under the name FIFA after a dispute about money for the right of naming. Despite all that the partnership with TV show Ted Lasso can only be a good thing to help bolster sales upon release! FIFA 23 launches worldwide September 30, pre-order by September 29 to get an untradeable Ones To Watch Player Item in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team and more!
Good job EA and FIFA for agreeing on something for once, I am sure there are a lot of similing faces because of this accouncement!
