It’s time for a new FIFA 17 roundup post because a lot went down in the past few weeks.

The Iceland National Football Team won’t be in FIFA 17 after the president of the Icelandic football association confirmed that no agreement has been reached with EA Sports for the team’s image license.

Iceland made a counter offer but EA Sports rejected it, thus leaving Iceland out of FIFA 17.

It’s surprising that EA Sports made such a low offer for the team’s license considering the amount of profit and income they make from the game.
