No point supporting legacy devices.
I know, but I thought certain folk would be interested in this.
Gee, I wonder why. I wonder how simply updating the rosters and uniforms and releasing it digital only would not be worth the cost.
oooooh kill em
EDIT: BTW is the online mode for the most recent FIFA that had online mode working?

Well, I play football game every year but I never wanted to play it on my Vita. Football games are better with joystick and TV imo.

I guess they didn't give enough bribe money to Blatter.
The interesting part is that FIFA was labelled as Legacy Edition by EA itself

The handheld versions were a joke anyway. New kits, updated squads and that's your lot.
It looks like EA has retired the "Legacy Edition" releases for FIFA this year. It makes sense, I suppose. The big marketed addition to this year's game is the women's teams. That's not a gameplay change they can just wave off. That would actually require them to spend money to insert them into the 3DS, Wii and Vita builds. So the options are spend the money to include them in versions of the games EA couldn't care less about, release it without the women and potentially face backlash for that, or just not release a version on those platforms.
Doesn't look like it.
But are they still doing a Wii version? FIFA 15 (Legacy Edition aka FIFA 12) still landed on Wii ...so how 'bout dat FIFA 12-IV?
Doesn't look like it.

Ok so no 3DS and Vita, but what about a Wii one?
If I were Nintendo, out of sheer pride, I would've never granted EA the licensing to release a legacy edition FIFA for Wii when they were skipping the goddamned WiiU altogether! And this happened twice with FIFA 14 & 15: Wii was in, WiiU was out.
That's gotta be a punch in the gut for Nintendo and their "unprecedented" partnership with EA.

They should rather port FIFA Street (the reboot) for PS Vita.

PS2 still selling in poorer countries, no way they leave that money on the table.
Even konami release a PS2 PES and they don't even want to support current gen anymore.

Legally they can't stopb them, there has to be a standard set of procedure that any publisher can follow
I think so.

FIFA 14 was the last one on PS2 though.
That's 14 FIFAs, not counting World Cup editions, released uninterrupted on a single home console. Compare that to the measly 6 FIFAs the Gamecube got! That PS2 record I don't see anyone breaking anytime soon.
PES stopped coming out on PS2 last year (PES 2014).

The Show is next.
I could see FIFA 20 on the 360. That'd make 15 FIFA main games.

No way. The 360 and PS3 will be long dropped by then. Also, the 360 barely sold more than half of what the PS2 juggernaut did so, yeah. I don't see that happening.
Mario Strikers on the next nintendo handheld and I'm instantly in (if it performs well and looks good and the gameplay is the same as wii).
Actually the vita version has more ratings (reviews on psn) than the ps3 version:
PS4 - 2764 Ratings
PS3 - 114 Ratings
Vita - 277 Ratings
It's not the best judge and sometimes the ratings reset back to 0, which could have very well happened, but it's something. 10% of the PS4 ratings is probably a decent ratio.
They were all reskins of the first entries.
Yeah, I totally forgot there was Fifa Football on vita, before fifa 13 but iirc the performance was improved quite a bit in 13, but yeah didn't have the big advancements that the console versions got - I think some ball control physics improved for consoles that the Vita didn't get.
