First release of some features. Dynamic simulations for career mode is probably the best career mode feature they’ve added in years. Also looks like you can change/train to get players into different positions.
Same shitty ass Frostbite engine that’s held the game back for years. I say I’m not gonna buy this pile of garbage but know I’ll end up giving in because that’s how abusive relationships work.
It’s the software architecture the developers use to build the game. It’s been “updated” a couple times through the years but was originally developed back in ‘08 to run the Battlefield franchise and built to highlight the exploding/destruction in multiplayer maps. It’s notoriously clunky, difficult & time consuming to use. A quick google search will turn up articles quoting developers claiming that bug fixes that are easily fixed in minutes or hours on other engines can take days or even weeks on Frostbite because it’s so rigid and inflexible. Development and innovation are greatly limited because the software is so archaic and shitty. FreakCliffs: It’s like trying to watch your amputee porn on a desktop running Windows95
believe it when i see it with those career mode changes. of course they are gonna make it sound good.
they were never going to make a major gameplay change in between console changes. Maybe 22 or 23 but they likely build a new engine once adoption on the newer consoles hits a certain level.
Can’t wait to spend a ton of money on Ultimate Team and watch Shaun get all the icons and high rated cards in the world.
Actually I’m going to use my EA Access to try a tournament and if it doesn’t let me save it without crashing the game I may honestly just uninstall
What does your team this year look like? I started playing during quarantine a lot and have built the best team I’ve ever had. It’s really easy this year with the summer heat cards and sbc’s
Summer Heat is the best promo they’ve ever done. They did well to actually keep the game alive during Summer when they could’ve relied on Covid to do that. I’ll grab some screenshots of my squads in a bit
Quick Ok I think on both these squads including bench and reserves that all but Mbappé and Atal are first owner
CR7 was a recent addition in the double 84+ SBCs they did. Did Bruno objectives just for a high rated card but then he fit with CR7 and I was surprised how much I liked him. When I packed R9, Eusebio and Gullit though, those were epic. I spent too much money though and had amazing pack luck. I actually packed moments Cruyff and gave away all those coins
That’s crazy. Moments Cruyff is the 1 card this year I’d pay to play with after playing with him in drafts. Haven’t spent any money and have played 1 weekend league all season. It’s been a fun year to casual play and still have a good team. Haven’t been able to do that over the years.
Nice. You’ve got a great squad period but for nothing spent that’s incredible. They really did make it possible to grind this year even though they’ve been up and down on some of the content.
Can someone explain if there's any differences between the different editions besides the FUT packs that I don't care about?
Any of you FUT guys do it without playing Rivals? Was pretty annoying to learn how handicapped you are unless you get ps+ to play online, which I don't really feel like doing just on principle.
what a nerd shooting for elite 1 this week at least, just missed it last week with a bunch of unplayed games I imagine if I keep at it for a while I'll eventually get fed up and make the plunge, been keeping an eye out for a free trial but looks like ps now is the only one available in the U.S. right now
Might be the 1st fifa I don’t buy in such a long time. Don’t have a ton of time and fut makes me a worse person than when I don’t play.
my apologies to the boycotters, but I have pre-ordered the game, only got a taste of active fut with '20 and I want the chance to go further or get sick of it it'll be nice having the rankings boost across the board for my eventual usmnt managerial run too
Every year I run a sim on this board. We draft full 23 man rosters and then I run a full league season on the game. On 20, tournament mode had a huge bug where if you tried to save, it would crash the game and delete your save file
Been using up my 10 hour preview. I actually enjoy the game play a good bit. They actually gave some attention to career mode and player development. I don't ask for much but they gave some effort. More than Madden does. Hopefully we can get a crew to do some clubs... enjoyed playing with some of the guys on this board. Was talking to Soup about that the other night as I was wooing him to start playing
Full game out for those that ordered the highest version whatever it’s called. I’ve like it so far, a lot harder to defend and it definitely requires the user to do it instead of relying purely on AI. I like the passing and quick turns too.
Just picked up my copy at target in an impulse buy. Will probably play some tonight when my newborn is sleeping
Xbox. Got it because its designed to work with series x too so if I upgrade later I already have a game
