"No Japanese players but a German is in there smh": Fans react as EA Sports release World Cup Stories cards in FIFA 23
EA Sports recently released a brand new promo in FIFA 23 Ultimate Team called World Cup Stories. The aim of this promo is to reward some of the best performers in the group stages of the ongoing World Cup by providing them with boosted versions in-game. These players have stolen the spotlight with their contributions as the driving force behind their national sides' success on the biggest stage.
The World Cup Stories promo roster consists of some of the biggest and most recognizable names in the world of football, including Virgil van Dijk, Gareth Bale, and Bruno Fernandes. However, there are some notable exclusions from this lineup, and fans have had their say on social media about the choices made by EA.
Strangely, several fan-favorite nations have been omitted from the World Cup Stories roster, much to the disappointment of FUT enthusiasts around the globe. The tournament has had some incredible upsets and underdog success stories so far, and with the title of the promo reflecting this very idea, it was a missed opportunity on EA's part to skip these names in their recent promo lineup.
The primary complaint regarding the FIFA 23 WC Stories roster amongst fans has been that the players selected don't accurately reflect how the tournament has progressed so far. As this fan pointed out on Twitter, no Australians were included in the promo, despite the country qualifying for the knockout stages and performing far better than other nations that received a special card.
Japan took the world of football by storm with their performances in the ongoing tournament. Against all odds, the Asian giants defeated both Germany and Spain to ensure qualification to the next stage, securing the top spot in an extremely competitive group.
