Why bother when you can just make kids gamble for virtual cards that disappear after a few years
No pedofile or rape jokes, should go without saying but I know what some of you are like
Pretty much this. Their career mode has barely changed in ten years, to the point where they haven't even fixed the original bugs. But you don't play FIFA for the gameplay, it's all about the virtual Panini sticker book that you can buy.
There was a game exactly like that called Football Superstars. It obviously didn't have anywhere near the budget that FIFA games have but I personally enjoyed it, I felt it had a lot of potential but was desperately lacking marketing budget to attract more people which wouldn't be a problem for EA.
Don't forget the new Adaptive Crowd Response™ and Motion Flow Moving Flowing Movement AI™.
I want the player career mode to be like the Nike first-person ad from years ago. Training, vomiting, sports cars, parties, girls in bikinis, losing teeth, etc.
No, grinding doesn’t even work, the fecking archetype in 2K is the worst shit ever. Your players are limited by the archetype you choose and you can’t create a player you truly want.
Check out the FIFA thread. There's barely anyone discussing what it's like to play the game itself - just folk chatting about what players they got in their packs. It's genuinely maddening.
I look forward to Veg Veghorse, Mark Rushmond, Jason Sanchez, Brumo Penandez, Davis Di Jea, Andrew and many more
There's not much to discuss about the game itself is there? It's basically the same crap every season, and I say that as someone that buys em every time. Online seasons is fun until you get stuck in a loop playing against PSG 95% of the time. That sucks ass.
I loved that!
Exactly.
That's fair enough
I played one game on Fifa 22 the other week and apart from the whole package being incredibly lacklustre at best, the atmosphere from the crowd was absolutely turd. Something I thought they could've nailed by now. It's a game for Christ sake, how hard can it be to make some exciting noises react to the occasion and what's happening?
I havent played online for a few years now. I used to pick 2 star teams to play online and would come up against the glory teams most of the time. I would lose the majority of the time but got a lot of satisfaction from beating 5 star teams from time to time. 99% of people wouldnt change to an equal level team as me which was fair enough but funny to watch over time. Then EA stopped me having that option to play as a lesser team against a much better team. Dont know if thats back again though.
This year was the final straw for me. You grind games with an overall of 65 only to realise that no matter what you do, it’ll take at least two seasons to get to 90. And the advertising was always horrible. But this year it’s truly shameless. The fashion walks and shit like this you have to do in company clothing are a capitalist nightmare.
We’ll kind of. But you can’t ignore the fact that there isn’t an actual alternative out there. And there is a whole generation of new gamers who have been socialised with micro transactions and therefore don’t even see the problem. To them it’s perfectly normal to spend real money on cards, skins and other stuff in games, that used to be a simple part of that game.
