Nothing different then how you can only use Visa to pay for you're patriots season tickets, or get Coke products at McDonalds.
People like their real names in soccer games, too, which is why FIFA (EA) still sells so tremendously well, every single year, despite it being absolute shit. It sells on the names alone, because PES (Konami) is much, much better.

PES has only caught up in sales recently, but in doing so it has been able to purchase more licenses.

But since clubs, players, leagues etc. are a mulitnational thing, and clubs run as private or publically owned businesses, there are a lot more licenses up for grabs.
