EA Sports has announced that FIFA 15 will not feature Pro Clubs mode on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360 while the PC, PS4, and Xbox One versions of the game will.
Pro Clubs has been a staple in FIFA games for some years now and allows players to create or join a team for 11v11 online player matches.
In a statement, EA commented:
"We're very confident in the amount of innovation and depth we're delivering for FIFA 15 on PS3 and Xbox 360 but there are some things we couldn't do for FIFA 15 on PS3 and Xbox 360, either based on the limitations of these consoles, or our time and resources. Most notably, Pro Clubs will not be a mode in FIFA 15 on Xbox 360 and PS3.
"While some things have to move solely to the newer consoles, the EA Sports FIFA team bringing you a great football experience on PS3 and Xbox 360 have focused on gameplay innovation, Team Management, Career Mode, FIFA Ultimate Team, and authentic leagues, teams, and kits that mirror the game on PC, PS4, and Xbox One."
Here is the full list of modes available in the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of FIFA 15:
- FIFA Ultimate Team – Loan Players, Concept Squads, Friendly Seasons and Legends (Xbox One and Xbox 360 only).
