New 32 team Club World Cup- paltry prize money and TV money??

[Reflection86]

Hi all,

Already posted this in the bug forum but just wanted to get others opinions on this, whether we think it should be updated- if the new format can be put in the game surely at least an estimate of the new prize/tv money should be also??

The prize money for the new 32 team Club World Cup is exactly the same as the old smaller format and hasn't been touched- £4m for the winners, £3m for the runners up, £2m for 3rd place and £1.6m for 4th place. Everyone else gets ZERO prize money for playing 3/4/5 games?

Also I received a total of £92,000 (LOL) in TV revenue for playing all 7 matches? There is no way the biggest clubs in Europe are going to play 7 matches in summer for less than £100k TV revenue and a max of £4m prize money. This has to be fixed ASAP as it makes it feel wildly unrealistic and pointless in-game

This cannot be correct as everything I have read indicates the tournament is going to be massively lucrative with huge TV and sponsorship deals. Exact figures may not yet be known but at least guestimate and make it more realistic than it is now?? Please see the following links

-United States to host expanded 32-team Club World Cup in 2025 - ESPN

This link estimates 'hundreds of millions of prize money for the clubs'. In game there is a total of £10.6m shared between just 4 teams, everyone else gets £0? Again, this is massively off.

This link estimates 100m euros in prize money for the winners! In game it's £4m for the winners which is ridiculous.

This link indicates each team will receive a minimum £25m just for taking part.

A 56 match tournament cannot generate just £10.6m in prize money for 4 clubs, while all other 28 teams get nothing, and less than £100k TV money! Every club participating should be receiving in the tens of millions in prize and TV money I would imagine.

I think the issue is that it's all speculative. SI rarely put speculative stuff in the game. So until there is actual proof of higher figures rather than just media reports estimating what it could be, there may not be much change. Plus historically the CWC has been seriously neglected by SI and its implementation is often complained about, so it doesn't seem like they're particularly interested in doing anything for it either.

Thanks for letting me know

While I understand that Si might not want to put in inaccurate figures, it is obvious that competition will have a higher payout to clubs. Perhaps putting in conservative figures would be a good compromise at this point.

I agree with you.

The only thing I would add is that you do actually get a bit more than just the TV and prize money through the gate receipts. It's not game-changing for big clubs, but it's probably a good couple of million.
