    I dont. I havent bought it yet. Ill just the proper version

    Does anybody have access to any of the old Fifa? I want to collect some Pro Clubs data from Fifa 22 and earlier. You cant download them from the PS store anymore so it seems you need the disc. I dont even know if you can get into the pro clubs section and if the stats are still there

    They've included the CBS for some reason, guessing they scanned it when we were in the playoff final just in case. Suck it Molton Road.

    Likely wont bother for a while.

    For 23 I ended up getting it in November when the itch came back. Then for 24 I didn't pre order but evos got me back in the door. Seeing how they handled those earlier in the year, and not expecting them to be any better this year, I will be holding off. The "new" features dont feel as much of a leap forward as evos and play styles last year.

    Was a genuine question. "eFootball" is trash now. Last time I played FIFA (22 I'd guess, maybe 23? Blackburn had Brereton Diaz as their best player) it was even worse.

    Personally I always like "grinding the menus" more enjoyable than playing the game.

    So doing SBC's to get packs to open them.

    I'm not getting it this year (until it's free) as I just bought Madden.

    I play career mode exclusively, and I'm stupid enough to hope some of the bugs that are reported on a weekly basis will be addressed. You have to have hope I suppose

    I've gone for Madden (for the first time in several years), so I think I'm taking this year off FIFA (until it hits GamePass next summer). I did enjoy 24 for what it's worth. Building a ridiculous Fulham P&P squad for the first edition ever was great, but towards the end I barely played the game and was just grinding the menus to kill time.

    It'll give me opportunity to play more of other games (finally can get round to playing Yakuza, RDR 2, rerun every Halo campaign as it's been years, Far Cry 5/6, etc.).

    Looks like there is a good chunk of United bronze cards. Would always recommend having a couple of each on the trade pile. Last year Mainoo, Shoretire and Bennett would fly at the sniff of an evo.

    Somehow they will put a stop to cards like that going extinct or do something so we cant profit from holding cards. They did it with MM, league sbcs, etc. They will do it with evos

    Making every pack with a silver or bronze it in untradeable would be one way.

    Pitch notes: https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-f...-launch-update

    As always, let’s kick this one off with the big question: When can I jump into EA SPORTS FC™ 25?

    Companion & Web App Launch: Starting from 19 September, you’ll be able to kick start your Football Ultimate Team Club on web, with a refreshed Companion App dropping on 20 September. Players who are re-joining us from Football Ultimate Team 24 will also get a little something extra with returning user rewards, which I’m pleased to announce are back for Football Ultimate Team 25!

    Early Access Launch: If you’ve pre-ordered the Ultimate Edition of EA SPORTS FC™ 25, you’ll be able to jump into the game from midnight (local time) on 20 September on Console and from 5 AM BST on 20 September on PC. EA Play* members will be able to play up to 10 hours of FC 25 via the trial, while EA Play Pro (PC only) members will get unlimited access to EA SPORTS FC™ 25.

    Worldwide Launch: If you’ve pre-ordered the Standard Edition of EA SPORTS FC™ 25, you’ll be able to jump into the game from midnight (local time) on 27 September on Console and from 5 AM BST on 27 September on PC.

    The champs changes are an incredibly cynical way to get people to spend money on packs.

    My money is on them relaxing them very shortly into the game, this side of Christmas at least.

    15 wins needed for upgraded Division Rivals rewards is such arse and I confidently predict everyone will ultimately hate it.

    Yeah, that seems the most severe change. More than doubling it to receive the same rewards whilst moving a bunch of objectives into friendly modes. Likewise making qualifiers 3/5 is going to be savage.

    Some good stuff like making top tier rewards really good and reducing the SB games down.

    Right, plan is to get home from work tomorrow, have a few hours kip and then hit it for a bit on launch (probably only to see the servers die). Won't be starting on the web app.

    Rattled through some SB games to clear off some objectives. Didn't pack anything of note aside from a Bruno and a Mazraoui (who looks pretty decent).

    Tactics seem like they could be interesting (setting players at corners seems cool) but I didn't get into the new game mode yet. There's some bug I keep getting when going to the store which requires killing the app and restarting

    Gameplay is a bit floaty and the camera still feels a bit off, but otherwise it's back once again for the renegade master.

    Rush is, as suspected, utterly fucking horrific.

    You pick a player, go into a four on four match with a stereotypical forrin commentator bleating all over the shop, you play the game, which lasts forever and it has absolutely no connection with your actual ultimate team apart from earning you points towards XP. But, but, but, the one game I played we won 8-2, I scored 4 goals and I got 2,200 Rush points and I need 70,000 of the fuckers to complete the objective related to it for some packs and XP. 35 games of that shit as an absolute minimum in 7 days? Kill me now.

    Rush sounds horrendous

    Will the FIFA points come in when it hits release date for where you genuinely are?

    This is supposed to be the most fun time of the year!

    Didnt realize Vidal as back in the game. His stats are nice for a silver card outside pace. Might be a decent evo investment.

    I got more engaged with it before I turned in, but I really don't like the changes they've made so far and Rush is piss stain on the entire game - we're stuck with it as well for this entire cycle at least as there's no chance of them aborting it inside a year given the focus they've put on it.

    Played some Rush just now...I quite like it. Mostly it just comes down to having people who actually track back being the difference between winning and losing, so I've found myself playing as defenders a fair bit. Amusing that you can clearly spot a ball-hogging ingrate IRL, even via the medium of FIFA

    I do wonder if they'll keep it alive artificially via objectives or it'll just be like Moments which was left to die and I'd imagine will get croaked in the next next version or so

    I got in last night drunk and actually got on much better with it. I think a TTH team could be almost fun. It'll make the objectives easier to get as well as we'd full bonus it every time rather than watching in pain as your team mates completely ignore that fundamental aspect of the mode.

    I’ve bought this for this first time in donkeys. Defending still as impossible as ever. I tried to copy some bloke off of YouTube and his tactics set up but he has the defensive line as high and I have no idea how they manage to defend like that. The opposition just lump the ball from defence to their strikers and it’s a 2v2 on the half way line.

    Div 6 and already infuriating. The difference in quality from 7 to 6 has been mental

    You have to get 70,000 Rush points (from playing the new Rush game mode) and you get a load of SP (was XP) and some decent packs (including an 84x2).

    You get somewhere between 1,400 and 4,000 Rush points per game depending on how many players you have that fit the bonus points criteria.

    I completed it yesterday but I can join in a bit later if you need me.

    It's pretty easy if you have at least one or two players who'll bother tracking back. Then it's just basketball and outscoring the opposition. Easiest way to score is to sweat it across the box.

    btw - make sure you add the players who'll tick off the "team objective" in the player select and you can rattle through it way quicker
