    When does 22 come out? Going to buy a PS5 so I can take Venezia to the Club World Cup.

    10/1 but a little earlier if you buy the more expensive version

    I like the simple additions to career mode and even though the create a club customization options seem sort of basic the overall gameplay seems a bit more realistic even in the beta.

    Have to say I enjoyed my first full season of FUT, despite how despised that mode is for ruining the game. Looks like everything's winding down now but I'm pretty happy with my endgame squad. Time to give career mode a real go now.

    Haven’t played in a few years, so probably not a new feature, but I must say I enjoy xG being added to the stats so I can see things like “halftime score: 1-1; xG 6.4-0.6”

    Basically anything in the box on target is getting saved by superhuman keepers but finesse shots from outside the box are money

    On the plus side within the first week I’ve packed a Lukaku and a Goretzka, which is a better haul than I got all of the last year I played (18, I think)

    the ball mechanics do seem more realistic thus far

    save for the fact that deflections and loose balls still go to the ai at an approximate 90% clip

    for '21 manager career mode guys, do clubs ever accept you loaning a player without the option to buy or are they just gonna continue to be little pantywaists every time I bring it up

    in fifa 21, i’ve found it works for me if i delegate the loan with the condition of no option to buy

    seems like delegating it works more often than not if they initially ask for a purchase option

    I find it irritating that some of the Serie A teams are generic names.

    I like the gameplay early on.

    As it turns out, I’m very bad at this game after not playing for four years (and not being that good when I last played), but beyond that indisputable fact, is 4-3-3 just an unplayable formation?

    I used to love the false 9 or 433 (2) but haven’t been able to use 433 for a few years.

    4231 works, as do 442 or 4222

    Haven’t figured out what works best this year yet but last year 532 was pretty meta

    Tried a 4-3-1-2 with a little bit better success. Was just getting overrun in the midfield with the wide players never really offering much support on either end

    Club is real but the stadium is generic. Looking forward to them loading that stadium into the game eventually since you have to travel to it by boat

    there is a documentary on the copa90 YouTube channel where a guy goes to the game that I believe ensured their promotion and gives a detailed history of the club and fans. Worth watching if you’re interested in that kind of stuff.

    all but 1 of my youth academy players, without warning, disappeared after season 2 that saw veneziamerica win the treble

    I like how they got rid of the generic manager who looked astonishingly like Ronald Koeman and replaced the one that is supposed to actually be Koeman with something that barely resembles him. Classic EA

    I get grainy weird discolorations sometimes where its like watching an old TV whose rabbit ears aren't doing their job. Why does society put up with the gaming industry selling products that aren't anywhere close to market ready? They called that "fraud" once upon a time.
