It was announced on Tuesday that Liverpool have agreed to a deal with Konami to feature in the soccer video game franchise Pro Evolution Soccer. PES is the biggest rival to EA Sports’ FIFA series, but struggles with licensing issues. They will hope the acquisition of Liverpool will help them in that area.
Even though the Reds have partnered with PES, EA Sports have given Liverpool fans a reason to want to play their game as well. Along with Liverpool still being in FIFA 17, they are also adding in 10 new legend cards into their FIFA Ultimate Team mode. One of those legends with be Liverpool’s Jamie Carragher.
