LaLiga Broadcasts To Be ‘Virtualized’ With Audio Provided By FIFA Video Game Makers

LaLiga will use virtual images of stands in television broadcasts with added “fan audio,” produced by the makers of the FIFA video game, when it returns to action on Thursday.

Domestic broadcasters in Spain will offer their viewers the choice of a “natural” broadcast of games played behind closed doors with no fans but the international audience will receive only the enhanced broadcasts with added audio and graphics.

Am I The Only One Who Thinks Watching Pro Footballers Play FIFA Is The Stupidest Shit Ever?

As we approach the two-month mark of having no live soccer to watch, I don’t think I’m alone when I say I really want the beautiful game to return as quickly — and safely — as possible.

For seven weeks, the only football we’ve been able to watch falls into two categories: replays of old matches and folks playing the FIFA video game. 

While it can be fun and enlightening to return to classic matches years or even decades later, you lose one of the most enjoyable aspects of watching live sports: the uncertainty of what will happen.

The Best Soccer Pre-Game Playlist Ever (For Spring 2020)

Despite the fact that no soccer is being played right now, our annual pre-game playlist is now ready for when the sport returns. The Fall 2019 playlist served us well, but 2020 has already produced some quality songs.

Sergio Agüero And His Avatar Have Exact Same Reaction To Awful FIFA 20 Miss

Rather than filling the void, these massive FIFA tournaments that are being broadcast on Twitch, FS1 and Telemundo have only served to highlight what a godawful replacement eSports are for their real life equivalents. Put simply, they’re not that fun to watch.

I’ve also realized that there’s a direct correlation between being good at FIFA and being particularly boring — who really wants to see someone exploit the game’s META (Most Effective Tactics Available) bullshit time after time while looking like Manchester City on bath salts? 

Diogo Jota Puts A Stop To Liverpool’s Winning Ways, Beats TAA For ePremier League Title

Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Diogo Jota won the ePremier League Invitational title for his club on Saturday after beating Liverpool fullback Trent Alexander-Arnold with a golden goal in the final after the match ended 1-1 in regular time.

Pro Footballers Show No Mercy In FIFA 20 Stay And Play Cup

Day 1 of the FIFA Stay and Play Cup is in the books, and while at times it was just ridiculous (an 8-2 scoreline, Twitch host Jimmy Conrad disappearing, people forgetting to unmute their mics), it was an entirely welcome and enjoyable afternoon after over a month of sporting radio silence and the total absence of communal events (competitive toilet paper hoarding aside). 

Two Massive, Star-Studded FIFA Tournaments Begin This Week With National Coverage

Following Burundi’s announcement on Monday that its league is now suspended, one of the final bastions of actual football in the world fell by the wayside. So what do we do now? If you’re jonesing for some familiar faces and the sight of that sphere rolling around a green carpet, FIFA 20 has got you covered this week with the beginning of two massive tournaments featuring some world-renowned players.

First eDerbyMilano Set For Saturday, But We Can’t Believe What Game They’re Using

LONDON — AC Milan and Inter Milan will play their first-ever virtual derby on Saturday after joining forces with digital sports broadcaster DAZN, the clubs said in a statement on Thursday.

With Serie A, like the rest of Europe's elite leagues, suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, fans will be able to watch the rival clubs go head to head on KONAMI’s popular soccer video game Pro Evolution Soccer 2020.

At the control will be Milan's Portuguese forward Rafael Leao and Inter's striker Sebastiano Esposito, selected for their self-confessed expertise on video games.

We’re About To Find Out Just How Good/Bad England Footballers Are At FIFA

LONDON — Some of England's leading players will go head-to-head from their living rooms over Easter as part of a new FIFA 20 tournament launched by the FA on Thursday.

With real action suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic, players will find themselves in limbo over the holiday weekend — usually one of the most intense times of the season when leagues are nearing their climax.
