FIFA 23

It's somewhat ironic really as we've been playing as AFC Richmond in career mode in FIFA 22 since it released last year (when not grinding Ultimate Team). In ...

If planning permission couldn’t be reached for a second big stadium in the borough, perhaps a ground share with nearby AFC Wimbledon could be agreed, although the capacity of 9,215 would likely struggle when Liverpool and Manchester United come to town. The daunting trips to Arsenal, West Ham, Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Chelsea would take a bit more planning. But if it did, it would be somewhere in the borough of Richmond making the Greyhounds neighbours of rugby union giants Harlequins. Travelling Richmond fans would be well served with TfL options for away days, however. Given on-the-pitch sections are shot at Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park, which is already in FIFA 22, a slight change of branding should do the trick. Ted Lasso’s AFC Richmond and star players such as Roy Kent, Sam Obisanya, Jamie Tartt and Dani Rojas will be selectable as part of the “rest of the world” league in Kick Off, Online Friendlies and Online Seasons.

The video game company is teaming up with Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment to feature AFC Richmond – the ragtag football team at the center of Emmy award- ...

I’m not sure this is going to help dispel the CGI rumours but f*** it, totally worth it.” EA Sports vice president of brand David Jackson added that the company was “thrilled” to welcome Ted Lasso and the AFC Richmond club to FIFA 23. “As long-time fans of EA Sports FIFA, having Ted Lasso and the whole AFC Richmond squad incorporated into the newest version of the game is truly a dream come true for myself and the rest of the fellas,” Sudekis said in a statement.

Ted Lasso's AFC Richmond have been added as a playable team to FIFA 23 - here's everything you need to know.

In addition, [The Greyhounds’ Nelson Road home stadium](https://www.goal.com/en/news/afc-richmond-real-team-ted-lasso-club-inspiration-stadium/dsktplas5tln1usbhdmqjarih) is included in the game. [is not inspired by a true story,](https://www.goal.com/en/news/is-ted-lasso-based-on-a-true-story/1a1ke6mfr7c7o1582hx6zod3lv) it does take influences from real world people and events. The show won four Emmys at this year's award show, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, which was claimed by star Jason Sudeikis.

As rumoured earlier this week, fictional footy coach Ted Lasso and his AFC Richmond squad are coming to FIFA 23 as playable characters.

“As long-time fans of EA SPORTS FIFA, having Ted Lasso and the whole AFC Richmond squad incorporated into the newest version of the game is truly a dream come true for myself and the rest of the fellas. FIFA purists may not agree with the addition of Lasso, but if Fortnite can introduce characters from every entertainment franchise known to man, why can’t FIFA? Considering that’s Crystal Palace’s Selhurst in real like, it won’t be too much of a stretch for the EA Sports design crew!

The hugely popular fictional team will feature alongside spectrum of real-world sides in EA Sports' final FIFA game, due out on September 30.

In a press release, Sudeikis commented: “As long-time fans of Fifa, having Ted Lasso and the whole AFC Richmond squad incorporated into the newest version of the game is truly a dream come true for myself and the rest of the fellas. You’re not the only pixelated man with a mustache who never knows where the tube is taking him.” Players can take control of the team, or join it with their own created character as either a manager or a player, in Career Mode and online multiplayer matches.

FIFA 23 will be released at the end of September, but there are a couple of ways that players can get early access to the title before release.

Players who are subscribed to EA Play and have pre-ordered FIFA 23 are also able to access the game three days early, receiving a 10-hour trial. But, if you pre-order the Ultimate Edition of FIFA 23, players will be granted access to the full game three days early on Tuesday, September 27, 2022. Another way to gain early access to FIFA 23 is through EA Play. At a more expensive price, the Ultimate Edition offers players some extra bonuses as well as early access to the game. Earlier this year, it was confirmed that EA Sports and FIFA will be ending their 30-year partnership, making FIFA 23 the final game in EA's mega-popular FIFA football simulation game series. Cross-play, women's domestic football clubs and a FIFA World Cup mode are coming to the game, whilst collaborations with Marvel and the TV show Ted Lasso have already been announced.

After EA ended its partnership with FIFA, their next football game will be the last in the 30-year-old franchise. Here's everything we know about FIFA 23.

But as we’re starting to see with other upcoming releases, such as [Gotham Knights](https://www.independent.co.uk/games/gotham-knights-gameplay-details-b2075627.html), developers are beginning to move on from the older consoles to focus on next-gen experiences. As for PS4 and Xbox One users, we would be surprised to see them discounted from the latest entry. The post reads: “Look out, Mario! Don’t expect much in the way of innovation if EA Sports decide to go the same route with FIFA 23. It’s not uncommon for a footballer to grace box sleeves more than once. We can definitely expect to see FIFA 23 on PS5, Xbox series X/S and PC but the other platforms are not so certain. So, when is EA Sports likely to reveal the release date of FIFA 23? Ever since the news that [EA Sports has ended its relationship with FIFA](https://www.independent.co.uk/games/fifa-ea-sports-partnership-b2075854.html), what is most uncertain is what direction the series will go in next. To get even more specific, EA usually release its titles on a Friday. EA Sports has assured fans that existing licensing deals and partnerships with some of the world’s biggest football clubs will remain in place, and there are hundreds of them. Previous years have also seen FIFA games released in late September. As far as new features go, it’s anyone’s guess.

It will be followed on Thursday by the companion app for Android and iOS…

You know him as Jamie Tartt, from hit sitcom Ted Lasso. Actor Phil Dunster tells ESPN about the character and the show.

"And I would be rubbish by comparison and they'd be like, and that was very embarrassing for me. It was mostly about the fact that I could pretend to be a professional footballer. "The weekend that I found out that I got the job, the thing I was most excited about was the fact that we had football rehearsals, which for me as an avid lifelong football fan, that was the coolest thing," he said. For Dunster, the reality that a character he plays as an actor will be in the game represents yet another surreal moment that has come from his association with the sitcom. Then you make your way up to the top and it's great to see [[Leo] Messi](https://www.espn.com.au/soccer/player/_/id/45843/lionel-messi) playing at Plough Lane." "I am truly fortunate, and deeply grateful, to have had many special moments in my career thus far, and I consider this experience among the best of them," Sudeikis said in a statement.

Jason Sudeikis' character from the hit Apple TV+ series “Ted Lasso” will make an appearance in EA Sports' upcoming video game, FIFA 23.
