Reply With QuoteJamie has talked to EA Canada about including Canada in the game. I don't remember what they told Jamie but it was something like laughing at the idea.
My guess is no. Canada hasn't been winning and there are many other countries ahead of them in the Rankings that are not in the game.
www.fifasoccerblog.com -> usually they have great updates on what is in and out year after year.
I believe the Czech Republic are being added to the game after not being in the last one. That's the only Nation addition that I have read.

Last World Cup game was amazing
Hey man fifa soccer blog is a great site I was not able to check out all the new modes on fifa 13 yet the international play into their Career mode is pretty sweet but this mode is not the first time in the game. I believe in 2011 there was international play into their Career mode but it seems like in 2013 its more advanced which is deadly. In 2011 you could get called up to play for the country your v pro was. My bro and I made ours from Hungary so we could get called up to play International and help the team get to the World Cup.
I dont think Canada will be in the game EA really does not have enought fifa buyers in Canada and I dont think they can add alot of Countries and run the game as good as they want it to be.
I do this as well in FIFA Ultimate Team. I don't know how many kids I run into who don't take me and my Canada team seriously until they're down 2-0 off DeRo and Simeon Jackson blasts.
I concur that there is no excuse for Canada not to be in. But its not just us who are being snubbed. FIFA has a huge Europe bias they need to take care of. Off my quick math, 24 of the 29 leagues they have are European. As for national sides, they break down like this:
South America 7/10 -> Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru
Oceania 1/11 -> New Zealand
North America 2/35 -> Mexico, USA
Europe 26/53 -> Austria, Bulgaria, Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Ireland, Romania, Russia, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey.
Asia 2/46 Australia, South Korea
Africa 4/53 -> South Africa, Côte d'Ivoire, Egypt, Cameroon
In particular, North America, Asia, and Africa are horribly done. If they're approached with this perspective, they wouldn't have much excuse not to include Canada along with one or two more from our region. Their game series is called FIFA, not EURO. They should be making efforts to live up to that.
Having said that, I do enjoy BC Place in the game. At least Vancouver gets home-town treatment, even though Canada doesn't.
I think they pick the countries based on how they do in their world cup qualifying ...If we make it to the hex then we will be in the 2014 world cup game .... and if we ever make it to the world cup we will probably be in the game for a while.
The bizarre thing is that New Zealand and Northern Ireland have been in the game every year without fail. Even before New Zealand made the world cup and back when Northern Ireland had that multi-year winless streak.

You must be thinking of Pro Evo, this has not been in FIFA before. Played many a seasons of virtual pro in both games.
For those claiming Canada won't be in, explain how you have qualifiers for major tournaments with only 2 CONCACAF or AFC sides? doesn't make sense. Something has to give here. All the players have always been in the game, slap on some generic kits and you're good to go. That's what I'm expecting honestly.

This is easily the best FIFA game created (certainly the most memorable/entertaining). You could play as any of the nations that participated in world cup qualifying for the 98 world cup and try to qualify for the world cup (and win the world). In addition, this game had the addictive indoor mode and the tackling you could do in this game was hilarious. If I remember correctly (on the PC), if you pressed 'q', you could literately push/punch your opponent and get a straight red (you could also dive in this game, something now found in Pro Evolution Soccer).
What's pathetic is that Pro Evolution series has included a Canadian national team for about 3-5 years now (unlicensed mind you, but at least it's there and easy to change the names of the players to their actual likeness), while the FIFA series has omitted Canada from their games for quite some time despite being produced in BC (only inclusion would be the world cup games).
Bingo! This game had a TONNE of national teams and you could try qualifying from the beginning.
Plus the "tackle to hurt" you are referring to was hilarious, and provided the teenage version of me hours of mindless giggling
