Anyway, Happy New Year everyone!

I may have mentioned this in another thread, but the Japan Football Association is so protective of its brand that for a time the internal research database couldn't have any J-league players in it and all of the players in the Japanese national team pool had to be fake. This was because they have had their own licensed games in the past. And this was the case even though FM has a license with the international FIFPRO players union, which should theoretically mean that the players in the J-League should be able to be in the game even if the clubs they're on have to be fake.
They also had EA remove the J-League from FIFA 23, if memory serves me correctly.
