Signed
Its not a rights issue, the only time rights come into it is if a team is fully licensed in one game, you'll then usually find that other games either ommit them or change the names. Wales are not and have never been licensed in any football game, even in previous FIFA series they have appeared with a made-up kit (ie Welsh flag on a basic red shirt rather than the official FAW crest). The only reason they're not in this year is on EA's say so.
To leave the team out of the UK PAL copy of the game whilst including all the other home nations is scandalous, I note they still expect people within Wales to actually buy it however!
They won't change it, and I've found a simple solution...don't buy it. After years of being a staunch FIFA player, I was put off enough by no Wales in the game to take the plunge last year and I bought PES 2009, Wales ARE in it. With a little help from the modding community I now have the real kits, real faces, real names, even real boots! What shocked me however is this...it actually looks better and plays a much more realistic game of football.
So thanks EA, for forcing me to try PES...I can guarantee you I won't be back!
