Lol, a local store is running this promotion:




If you buy the game, they make a FUT playercard with your picture. I'm actually tempted to do this :downsgun:

Interesting, Icons are moving to a futswaps-style system and there will be no individual icon sbcs (there will still be the occasional random icon sbc still though)

I'm thinking of buying PES this year. Is there a thread in here about that?

EDIT: reading reddit, it seems like it plays way worse than the demo. Guess I'll just buy fifa next week and try not to touch FUT

yeah they basically firebombed their own (excellent) game because people were complaining about refs on twitter and it's extremely depressing

What happened with PES? I'm away from my gooncave for over a month and I missed it. Also Fifa 20 demo.

I cannot believe how bad Volta mode is, based off the demo.

The teammate AI is dumb as hell on both sides; this is a mode that should be based off of creativity and fun, and it just turns into some lazy nonsense. Blast the ball from mid-“court”
and hope you get a rebound you can knock in. Embarrassing for anyone who put their name in the development.

Yeah, I'm hoping the 4v4 or 5v5 modes are more fun to play. Maybe they even introduce some original game modes, I remember 'Panna rules' or 'one down' from fifa Street. Those were fun modes that change up your game.
Also gently caress playing that stupid Vinicius movie every time before I can play Volta.

Played my last game of FIFA 19 yesterday, to get TOTS-Reus to 200 games, and to get Kroos to 150 assists. Kroos ended up getting that assist and a few goals. He was by far my favorite player to play with this year, besides Reus.




Farewell FIFA 19, you were a bad game, yet still entertaining.

I'm gonna stand by my decision to pass on fifa. I played every year starting with 13. I said it when legends were first introduced that I didn't like the concept. I ruins the feel of the game, is out of place, and kills the fun of creative squad building. It got worse and worse as they added more and the legends became more overtuned. Added in with the unending glut of special cards they've been adding to the game and it's made the game less fun and the players feel less unique and special. I don't see the trend reversing on special cards and I don't see them removing legends ever.

Has anything major been announced gameplay wise? I've heard it feels like fifa 18 but slower which is incredibly damning. If they somehow release a quick free flowing game like 15 and 13 I could investigate but I'm not holding my breath.

Anyways I'm still looking for a competitive sports game to fill fifa's gap. It seems like everything is ran by really bad companies (2k and EA) or is extremely amateurish.

this, except fifa 20. he barely made it 7 days last year. taking bets

i think there's probably a single digit chance that I will even click on volta one time this year lol

part of me wants to say it's principle for them devoting resources to that and not improving pro clubs but I honestly just don't have a ton of interest in it, I like the macro 11 on 11 game with interesting passing plays and poo poo

I would have tried it if you could play on a team with your friends with your virtual pros but you can't

With Access Premiere I got FIFA 20 included and I only played Volta the last days. It is not FIFA Street reborn but a fun offline arcade mode that should last to finish the „story“ mode once and be done with it I guess.
Unless EA puts some effort in more Volta modes, especially sth like „Ultimate Volta mode“

That's true but if you like manually defending then it's never been a better time to play

I've played like I think 15-16 rivals games so far and I've only lost 1, and I felt like I deserved to lose it.

I do have one more loss where I got DC and two losses to squad battles at the very beginning (AI god squads 2 strong at first) but the only other year I started this strong was the beginning of 18 when AI defending was also really bad

I watched some twitch stream yesterday of a guy who had 1,5 million fifa points. While I was watching he spent like 150k opening packs. At 750 points/pack, he opened a ton of them. He got like one 77 rated IF and a load of crap otherwise. If I ever touch FUT, I'll think about that stream whenever I get the urge to buy packs.
