Kahn Wins Case Against EA

Exactly LMP,
I don't think you'd be honest to yourself if you let this easy way of making money, pass. And legally speaking, it's his full right.....

I want to reply on 'Musiq': FIFPro still does make a difference between collective and individual rights of players: in that perspective FIFPro has no say whatsoever, in the permit of the display of the image + name of O. Kahn anywhere, if FIFPro should be overruled by the player himself, which in this case happened.
Now the companies' statement says: "it supports the players", because you shouldn't forget FIFPro is mainly ment to deal with contracts, social security and good labour circumstances of any player individually, which is why Kahn (and De Boer-brothers) was able to challenge EA in the first place.

Furthermore, I find it strange that if EA indeed has access to all FIFPro linked players, they wouldn't make the game any larger: I mean, not all countries, with its clubteams, that signed a deal with FIFPro are in the game, right? And looking from a commercial point of view, the more leagues in more countries you would add, the more you tweak up your sales and profits. So why didn't that happen, I wonder?

As for the jokers here (Wolf): if you wright "Oliver Kahn" on this forum, that's not forbidden, because there isn't any commercial purpose in it, for the one who wrote the name at that time.

Adding more leagues to the game is a very very long and tedious process, as I'm sure you would have realised. I don't think it would be easy to add all the leagues in the world. Besides, from the average person's point of view, 17 leagues is a lot, don't you think? And this year, they have included most of the second divisions as well, and in England's case, all four. That, I suppose, would be one reason for not going any further.

Besides, FIFPro is a PLAYER's organisation. Having the players' license does not mean having a team's, or a league's license. That, I suppose, would be the reason for not including the likes of the Argentine league. But I feel that it won't be long before they do secure the required licenses, and add some more leagues.
