| has gloss | eng: Stars was a shortlived football video game series by EA Sports, after in 1999 Electronic Arts gave their European studios a chance of develop a new football videogame outside the FIFA series. As the company already owned a Premier League license (used in their managers), it was decided to make a game entirely devoted to one of the most popular leagues. Unlike FIFA 99 and the upcoming 2000 edition, The F.A. Premier League Stars had real kits and accurate stadiums of all teams. Released for both PC and PlayStation, it failed to top the market, but EA was satisfied enough and allowed a second game to be developed. This was also released in Germany, France, Spain and South Korea fully localized and licensed for the top leagues in each country. As the FIFA series progressively assimilated (or planned to) some of the features of Stars, the franchise was discarded after the second title. |
