FIFA 21

You think they left Nate out of this for spoilers sake or out of respect for David Moyes?

 

Good to see the matchmaking in pro-clubs is still shit. But EA couldn’t do cross play on pro clubs because they were fixing the matchmaking.

 

how is the gameplay/manager mode?

 

prerecordedlive can answer that.

 

Improved over 21 but I can see the power shot feature getting absolutely abused. It’s satisfying but it’s a damn near guarantee if you just put the shot on target with a good player.

 

Very pumped to put Charlotte FC in the fourth tier and work up to Champions of Europe with entirely existing players and youth academy products. Hopefully no more than 6-7 years.

 

A new thing I’ve noticed is that they tell you from jump if a player isn’t willing to move in the transfer hub so you don’t waste your time

 

If you do start out coaching a way lower tier club, there are a ton of free agents worth between 5-13 million dollars. They’re easy to offload and turn a profit.

 

Very lame that the World Cup mode add on is not available and that there are over 10 World Cup teams missing from fifa 23

 

But also on par with what we expect from EA

 

LMAO. So good. I was just fired as Charlotte FC manager six months in (January 2023) despite topping League Two table by 15 points for failing to cut the wage bill by 15k per week and not signing a promising player in the winter window. Fuck this game.

My two good players made 10-12k per week and most of my starters make 4-5 per week. They wanted me to offload my starting line up while also having a top priority be win the league.

I doubt anybody here follows Charlotte FC, but it’s 10x as funny when you know we ACTUALLY fired our coach 10 games in to our inaugural season this year despite being in playoff positions and have had two team presidents leave in the last year.

I doubt I’ll start over. Fuck that shit.

 

that seems pretty realistic for league two.

 

I've only been able to play a few games but I think it's a lot more fun. But games are now way higher scoring I've noticed

 

I enjoy the "moments" in FUT this year

 

same. nice way to get rewards without much effort. packed harry kane from it last night

 

Nice, I got Ruben Dias. I just wish you could roll through an entire thing without going back to the menu each time

 

got invited to the EA FC closed beta. played one match last night. seems fine, no major changes to the game play as usual. will hopefully get to play around with it more tonight.

 

i got the invite too. very excited to install and play tonight.

 

Listened to the athletics pod on the new one. How much are people freaking out because the girls are rated the same as the guys?

 

it was pretty bad at first but it feels like its calmed down a bit. some of the women are pretty OP.
