Thought I’d be treating myself to some quality father/son time after purchasing the celebrated ‘best game in the world’.

I want my money back. It’s an absolute chore to play 1v1.
10-15 mins of trudging in one direction, a couple of missed tackles, a random block, interception, run the other way – repeat.
4 shots on target in an entire match if you’re lucky, each of them fluffed.
Wheres the fun?
Its even more boring to play than it was for you to read this.
Is it actually regarded as a decent release amongst fans?

He beat you then?

It’s a football game of course it’s dull.

And what Martin said.

Wow, does it default to ‘boro then ? 🙁

Haha! Yes of course he beat me.

I remember enjoying FIFA titles when I was younger – it just seems such a plod fest this time round.
When you come from the instant murder/death/kill of CoD, it’s like watching paint dry.

Back to COD it is.

I had a sudden realisation yesterday that some games are leaving me behind, my daughter decided to teach me how to play Fortnite as I said I got killed instantly never played since. Perfect timing too as I hit 45 yesterday.

Well what can compete with the joy of shooting things over and over again?

This is why we have Nintendo*
🙂

Get a GameCube or a Wii, pick up classics for pennies and tuck in.

*No actual turtles or mushrooms were harmed in the making of any of the Mario titles.

You could just go outside and play football you know?

The 2018 version adapts to the ability of each player independently.

I can’t imagine anything as boring as playing FIFA even worse than watching real football

Oh wait actually I can, football manager. People actually play that for “fun”?

I think he’s suffered enough.

I like fifa 2018. Just practise a bit. Like most things in life.

Happy birthday. We were the same age for all of a day.

It was fun while it lasted.

It’s always interesting how you can sometimes guess the poster by the content.

Not having a go at anyone, btw.

Fire up an Atari St or Amiga emulator……

and get Kick Off 2 or Sensible world of Soccer.

🙂 Job Done.

Getting more expensive all the time – at least as far as the GameCube is considered.

Can’t argue with that.

My PS PRO came with FIFA 18.

Played it once. Should sell it.

Rather play Horizons Zero Dawn or a racing game.

There was a link on a previous thread to Gran Turismo for £18 at one online retailer – I picked up a copy and its ace.

was so much better when you could scythe people off the ball for no reason, and you could make the goalie dribble the length of the pitch etc

im loving the new COD, but i turned it on after two weeks off and everyones gone mega pro prestige batshit! i was quite handy at xmas, got absolutely rinsed!!

I know that feeling well. Currently have a murder rating of something like .78 which has taken some time to improve!
What is the prestige nonsense all about? Just multicoloured guns? I’ve got a prestige sniper rifle as I love to hide in the shadows and pop a cap in yo’head from the other side of the map..

LETS ALL ADD EACH OTHER AS MURDER BUDDIES!? what’s your handle?..

Prestige gives a few extra perks nothing spewcial like previous ones it’s more a status thing, I play hardcore mode as people actually die. The bunny hopping and dive shooters leave or don’t play HC as they soon find they die anyway.

Dracy is my handle.

Sensi was fantastic.
🙂

Is Pro Evo still a thing?
Preferred that tbh.
Always found FIFA a bit ploddy and tough to master.

mine is Funkh0user-81 (PS4) i like the rifleman perk so i can use my fave SMG but still carry a sniper rifle on my back!! sniper kills are so satisfying to excute – but makes my piss boil to be on the receiving end!!

yeah i prestiged a few weapons too, wish i hadnt bothered – you just lose all your attachments!

what do you mean they actually die in HC?? are you out of the game if you get shot?

No, you hit them once or twice and they die not empty a clip into someone but they run off dancing and skipping.

haha oh right! cool, might step up to HC myself then…

Add me: Ilaymyvengeance

See you on the battlefield, comrades
