Ohhh Witcher 3 should keep you well busy. One of my favorite games of recent times. Enjoy!
I got the demo last night but is it just me or does it seem really really slow even when you put the game play speed up to fast. It doesn’t seem to flow and seemed quite jerky to me and you seem to be able to score a goal from anywhere, as soon as you’re in sight of the goal just push shoot and it seems it will be a goal.
Played mostly the journey last night and it seems quite intresting, looks like you can choose to play his sisters career or Danny Williams on top of Alex’s but after that it cuts out needing to buy the game for the rest.

So rather than buying packs on and off throughout the year, I'm thinking of pumping 48000 fifa points from the get go as ill prpbably get more coins for the doh. Can anyone advise me how I should distribute the fifa points? Like how many gold premiums should I get or should I wait for better packs to become available in the store?
Thanks in advance to anyone.

People already spending crazy amounts on packs... I don't quite understand it myself. Each to their own I suppose.
I'm not liking it so far tbh, played a couple single player games on UT and the computer does what it wants, barges players over off the ball and no fouls, one touch passing if they're losing so you can't touch them, and seem to block every shot or pass. Didn't play FIFA for 8 months so last year's may have been the same towards the end. Not really feeling it. Plus with their daily/weekly stuff it always seems more like a chore than fun now. Maybe I'm just crap at FIFA
Seems the only mode people are bothered with now though. I'll give the trial the full 10hours still.

So I discarded all the rubbish players I got in my starter packs and started doing some SBCs. Managed to fully complete all the hybrid nations and hybrid leagues ones while the players are still cheap.
The packs were pretty disappointing (Parejo and Illaramendi x2 were the highest rated players I got) but I've managed to build myself a solid team to start with.

This is my main gripe. The CPU is basically immune to any form of press. If you try and overwhelm them they will ping pong pass it right through you and be in on goal every time. They're OP on the wings too. If you try to block them going down the wing then sure as feck they'll find a way. If you block the line they'll go inside and if you try to anticipate them going inside they'll 100% just run down the line unopposed.
There's no degree of chance that the computer will pick the same way as you and allow you to block. They will always pick the opposite to what you do. They also pretty much never foul, does the computer even slide tackle that often? The blocked shots is absolutely shite as well, so many just blocked by defenders and falling straight to them.
Going to renew my PS Plus when I get this because I need to play actual humans.
It’s a grown man that’s done it and he has a wife and kids. (It’s bateson)
Seriously he could’ve treated them to holiday at a 5* hotel a couple of times a year for the money he’s spent already. Instead he just sits at home, gets fat and plays fifa every single day of the year.
Wont play it this year i think, have to focus on other more important things in life currently. If i start, i will play it every day i feel to get my favourite players, especially icons. That will be a massive grind and waste of time.

I mean not for anyone to say what to do with your money but spending fifa points is a rip off every single time. I get everyone does a bit now and then.. but 4800.. isn't that like $500?I really like the way the demo plays. I've not pre-ordered but it would be rude to break a 15+ year tradition!
feck all that UT noise, I got sucked into it on Fifa 17 and it just really made me hate the game...generally felt like game was against you if you were trying to play honest (cheap) without buying packs.

£320 so a little less then $450 dollars I think, plus the £80 for ultimate edition. I don't really play video games any more but quite enjoy Fifa, and when I do put it on i'd rather be able to just play the game rather than hours and hours of tedious trading.
The thought behind it is that it'll give me a decent enough start, and I can build via weekend league rewards for the rest of the year. Where I don't really play anything else, the hours I'll end up getting out of Fifa makes it worth it.
I second this. I'm 32 now....and so much time wasted on FIFA. i'll stick to pubg
Would you say you’re addicted to FIFA? I mean it’s just a game but if you’re fearing you wouldn’t be able to focus on more important things in life because the game is calling your name then yes maybe it is time to give it up...
Damn it, it’s got me. I normally just play career mode and don’t bother with UT but just started a manager career and managed to bring in

Got rid of Rojo, Sanchez and Mata but feel I now need a DM. Take the risk on Neves or go for Kante?

Unless you get paid to play FIFA spending money on packs makes you a mug and also part of the problem with FIFA at the minute.
FUT is so lucrative for EA they've become so lazy developing the rest of the game.

I don't understand how people play career for years on end, surely with that squad you'll win the quadruple first season and then you've got nothing to aim for.
I fecked up my starter squad on FUT. Thought I'd go for ligue 1 and then realised there is no decent strikers at all.
Had to sell everything and try and make a BPL squad. Struggling to get the SBCs done so any help on squads people have found that are cheap and work would be much appreciated.

Aye but then I shift to some 2nd division Spanish, Italian, German team and work my way through the leagues just buying youth and scouting wonderkids.
Side note I’d win the quad with any team as the computer is rubbish even on pro mode.
Except in his defence, spending that kind of money gets lots of views which allows him to make even more money, which he lives off, spends on FIFA and bring his family on holiday.
Does it have ultimate difficulty yet against the AI? I played a few of them on ultimate team last year and it was almost impossible to win.
You mean its a guy who only has to spend 6k a year to turn playing FIFA into his career? Yea he isn't the stupid one here.
That's like being confused about a property developer spending money on property instead of taking his family on vacation. You spend money to make money.
Why don't you just buy an account with a few million coins? Surely it'd be better value than buying fifa points.£320 so a little less then $450 dollars I think, plus the £80 for ultimate edition.

Am I right in saying there's no form of early access on PS4?
Opened my return to FUT packs and the best cards I got were Rooney and Milner. Oh FUT, never change..
That's correct.
Technically it's not.
If you buy the champions edition you get the game three days early on PS4.
I'm aware of that, there is no equivalent of EA Access for PS4.
I've considered this in the past but have never went about doing it tbh!
Will actually look in to it now though, much better bang for the buck innit - I mean I'm ever packing Ronaldo et al anyways
(grrrr )He asked about early access and the 3 days you get early on the PS4 is called early access...

I had a quick look and try today and it did have ultimate difficulty in career mode but not in Kick off. Gave it a try as I had a game against Real in some international cup. It is a lot more challenging and there was a goal Bale scored which was an absolute stunner. Cross in from the full back in line with the 18 yarder and he hit this volley that flew in to the top corner. Was disgusted with DeGea so he is getting dropped for Lee Grant in the next game vs Juventus.
They do seem to work it a hell of a lot faster and always seem to have that extra runner but I just kept catching them on the counter. Was a much better challenge.
Well, what are the suggestions for the cheap but effective premier league players ? Something cheap to start the game with without much spending.
Looking off futbin prices and players that seem effective for low prices...
Leno, Pickford, Schmeichel, Rui Patricio or Kepa in goal
Alexander-Arnold/Ricardo pereira for right back
Mendy, Shaw, Robertson, Kolasinac (most left backs around the same tbf)
Rudiger, Smalling, Rojo or Sokratis for cb
Richarlison/Felipe Anderson for left wing
Kovacic (plus good investment), lingard, keita, Herrera, seri, Chamberlain, doucoure, Ndidi, Torreira in midfield
Shaqiri, Deulofeu, Jahanbakhsh for right wing
Arnautovic, Antonio, King, Wilson, Gray for striker.
Thanks a lot! Will look at these.
Some chubby dude on youtube came up in my recommendations (pack opening) and he had over one million FIFA points. Some cnuts living life on easy mode.
Absolute weirdos who do that. I probably spend about £50 across the year on packs.
Even if you spend about £500 and get a Ronaldo, is that really worth it for a game that's gonna be dead in 9 months? Can you even celebrate a good player when you've spent thousands?
It's like buying £500 worth of raffle tickets and then celebrating when you win a microwave
Bateson spends close to £50,000 per year. £6k is just his initial investment for this year. He'll probably spend more than £50k this year.
His YT views are relatively poor these days and I'm almost positive that he could cut the figure he spends on packs down to a few thousand a year and still make around the same amount of revenue from his channel. His content does not benefit that much from spending ridiculous amounts.
A lot of these big youtubers clearly have addictions to opening endless packs and having every great player in the game, which they cover up with what they call 'investing' into their channel. Load of bollocks.
Does he have sponsorships and/or Patreon-like support?
Anyone else finding this as hard as me? I was gold 1 / elite 3 last year and this year I can't even get beyond the first draft game
