With Premier League superstar Gareth Bale in a Tottenham shirt for the FIFA 14 Euro-cover, what happens when he is transfers to Real Madrid? Yes it was a record-breaking €100 million deal later – that’s around $133 million US Kiddies. But the game fans want true to life game play and the cover for the unreleased game will be wrong. Think again!
Despite the game only being two weeks away, EA Sports was able to whip a new cover that correctly reflects Bale’s status.
This isn’t the first time EA Sports has pulled a switcheroo like this; fans of the other type of football no doubt remember the Madden NFL 09 cover of Brett Favre in a Jets shirt. The former Green Bay quarterback signed for the New York team just five days before the game was due. That’s not enough time to do a Bale-like swap, so EA Sports concocted a printable PDF cover, which many made fun of.
