Henderson only 86? Shut it down.

Speaking of Liverpool players. TAA and Robertson with what have to be the worst 87 rates cards ever made?

I put the overall stat down to popularity.
Real Madrid showed the 18 highest-rated players from their team. Benzema being highest with 89 and rodrygo being lowest with 79. Bale isnt anywhere between those values.
Posted this in the other thread.
Just a small FYI but you might want to hold off on buying FIFA 21 at launch if you're on Xbox.
EA's subscription service will be merging with Microsoft Game Pass in November so you can get FIFA and many other games including any Microsoft exclusives (Halo etc.) for a fiver a month.
Or get EA Play for a month or two then swap over.
You do realise that they don't add FIFA (or any sports game) until near the end of that version? I think FIFA 20 joined EA Play in May or June.
Might be a little earlier with Game Pass though.
Ah they said FIFA 21 but upon further reading you get a 10 hour demo.
Is EA Play what I know as EA Access?
Yes. They rebranded a month or so ago because of reasons.
Ah yeah in that case you aren't seeing FIFA 21 on there until May.

Cantona
He looks filthy. They have done Cole seriously dirty though.
It's funny how you forget that Cantona was a 9/10 speed demon, eh?
Cantona's actual stats would make for a dreadful card in FIFA.
I've only seen a few clips but there should probably be a "we can only make players better by upping the pace stat"-induced lol at Puskas having 90-odd. I'm fairly sure everything I've ever read about him makes the point that he wasn't some physical beast so much as a technique/runs-the-game type guy.
Maybe they change the whole system so pace is no longer the meta. I would like to see strength and dribbling finesse useful
If they're giving Cantona and Puskas such high pace that suggests to me they ain't changing shit.
I seem to remember a post on here by Fry (aeons ago) talking about game design mechanics and the gist was basically: pace is the easiest thing to programme; there's a direct, linear equation to it and it's got an easily observable effect. How do you codify "technique" or "first touch"...it's much more difficult. Not that that's an excuse, but you can see why it always ends up that way.
They don't help themselves by continually fucking up heading, meaning there's only one way to play the game.
Yeah if some indy firm made a football game and OP'd pace then sure. EA have all the world's money but people will buy the game no matter why so they're literally being incentivised not to try and make the best game.they can by their own customers.
Every top tier attacker being effectively the exact same but with a different skin is just the most boring thing.
Does FIFA have a consistency stat? I feel like PES use that well.

Icon SBC's are back....
And swaps are staying. Honestly such a good move.

These cards are concept but the ideas are real. Lower rated flashbacks could happen.
The flashbacks are used in Madden and whilst they're a great idea the cards are almost always a bit shit.
Hopefully they implement them better here.
I haven't played Ultimate Team in years now, but seeing the icons has tempted me. How do you guys earn so much currency? Do you have to become proficient in trading, or is it grinding.
I read last year's thread every now and again and I didn't understand half of what was being said with all the acronyms.
I’ve pre ordered. I hate myself.
Where’s the cheapest pre order?
I bought through FIFA 20 in game menu for the discount. EA Play discount also gets 10% off and you get to play 10 hours before release.
I had been meh on this coming this week but now streamers are up showing this game I am starting to get hyped.
I had a tinge of interest yesterday, but then I realised again what that would involve and I couldn't face it.
Yev is in, then.
It's not worth the time it takes to grind it or the money it takes to not. You can be very good at playing the game and avoid both those of things to a degree, but I'm not.
If I do buy it, I will properly hate myself.
Don't do it, Yev. Don't be a Tom, nobody wants that.
You know it's only a matter of time before you're loading it up, Yev.
In before Yev pre orders and then buys FIFA points on day 1.
I'm so proud I didn't buy any this year.

New star striker confirmed. King
I'm going to leave FUT alone for a while and play Career Mode. Seems like there's been some actually decent changes this year like training SM/WF etc
Web app is out
Was looking forward to getting on the web app tonight. Except I need a verification code and EA is having trouble sending them. I’ve made a huge mistake, haven’t I?
It'll just be getting slammed at the moment. Got bugger all from my initial packs.
Just noticed that the Level 15 reward isn't a player in this first season, which is a bit scummy. The Level 30 rewards look ok (Lacazette, Sabitzer or Bernat)
I got nothing good from my welcome back packs either but I have put together an OK Bundesliga team to start with.
Did some of the shitter SBCs too and will crack on with the 10 hours tomorrow and over the weekends
For some reason no matter how many times I click "Remember this PC" it always forgets my desktop.
In on my laptop though.
Raul Albiol my highest rated card.
Godspeed gents!
You fucking marks. <quietly tucks his copies of Pro Evo out of frame>
Quick question lads. If I start playing via the web app, how do I link that progress to the actual game when I play it on console?
EDIT: Right, I’m getting pissed off now. They finally sent my verification code, I log in and now it’s telling me I first need to sign into ultimate team via console first. How the fuck am I supposed to do that.

Have you got an older version of FIFA knocking about?
Yeah, shall I log in to that?
