> since most of the value of these games is in the name

People will buy the EA football game, the name does not matter.

I think people will generally buy the game that has the real teams and players.

I believe the falling through of this FIFA deal does not (severely) impact that as EA has agreements with all governing bodies separately (Premier League, Bundesliga etc.)

I am not sure if they can now still have the national teams?

They can't license the World Cup, so I think national teams are out as well, as they're under the FIFA umbrella.

Yes for sure I assume they keep their other licensing agreeements.

I think having the team names and player names is what gets people to buy that particular game (assuming they all play well)
