Elsewhere, EA have also announced an ‘exclusive’ partnership with Serie A, which will see them partner with 14 of the 22 clubs, with Atlanta, AS Roma, Juventus, Lazio and Napoli excluded to their agreement with eFootball.

The game will continue its steps into making the game as realistic as possible with the further introduction of six new stadiums. The Portuguese Primeira Liga's Estadio da Luz and Estadio da Drago, the home grounds of SL Benfica and FC Porto have been imported much to the delight of fans. Portugal's top flight has recently entered UEFA's top five leagues, displacing France's Ligue One, despite the glittering amount of stars who have joined Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Also added is the SchuoArena, home of Arminia Biefeld, as well as Cadiz's Estadio Nuevo Mirandilla, as well as the Reale Arena, Real Sociedad's home pitch.

There will be a wait however for Brentford fans, who will be unable to play t the Brentford Community Stadium until January.
