OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

[Striiker]

@FLYguy3911 you play any this weekend?

This might be the heaviest and most delayed I’ve ever felt this game. I feel like I’m dribbling/passing with 10 goalies, even on ~25 ping.

2-0 so far, but I feel like I should wait in the hopes that things improve. There might be no point though, since yesterday felt awful too. You feeing the same thing or is this just me?

I played 3 qualifiers last night and it was awful. I couldn't move my CBs to defend shit.

It's so weird they can't figure out what causes it. Go play kickoff. It's nite and day.

Ok that sucks but I’m glad it’s not just me. I was starting to think the storm fried my router or something.

Anyone here have Xbox game pass

Is it worth it , I’m on a 3 month free trial.

16.99 month afterwards or 204 a year

It basically for those that never had it, basically lets you play games without spending

70 a pop per video game.

Just wanted to get an idea if worth it

 

[FLYguy3911]

@Striiker you doing Rolfo?

i have the GP ultimate which lets me have it on PC and play games there..its worth it if you use it enough..as in there are a ton of games I have played that I would never have without it..both on console and PC..the price is steep though and they did away with the conversion they used to have..

but yeah..i think it is worth it

Tech bros:

I recently switched from Xfinity to Verizon. I was getting fast Internet with Xfinity but Verizon bro told me they could beat it. I switched and everything is running faster except my PS5 which is now going like 1/2 speed for downloads and lagging terribly with online stuff. When I first set it up I did the speed test and it was like 300+ and now it is hovering around 50. Any ideas as to what's going on before I switch back to Xfinity?

not sure..but check if you have anything else running..

 

[Striiker]

@Striiker you doing Rolfo?

Don’t think so.

Looks really good but I have Davies at LB and TOTY Sawa as box-to-box LCM. Might be an improvement after upgrades but the price isn’t worth it to me. Also got Fantasy Stanway, who could be very similar if she gets upgraded.

Spoiler: Comparison

Plus I just burned most of my high fodder on that overpriced icon pick and got trash.

You?

I have to do someone. I have dupes and more unopened fodder packs. I don't do Icon picks. They are a scam.

Might do Smolarek. Need this week's SBCs to leak to see if I'll miss out on anything.

Yeah, they’re a scam but I have to play the lottery otherwise I’m never catching up to anyone else’s teams.

I was watching a streamer that said a Cruyff SBC was rumored to be coming this week. But even if that’s true, considering the Ginola price, it wouldn’t be worth it for a player who isn’t even a team upgrade at this point in the year.

Personally, with the duplicates I’ve gotten, I’ve either put them into the TOTW SBC, which seems to be suuuupper buffed lately, or into the exchanges.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I don't think that's it, or at least I will be very upset if that's it. When I had Xfinity I never had any issues. I would play Fortnite on the PS5 while my son played upstairs on his switch and my wife watched TV or messed around on her phone and all devices were good to go without lag. Now the PS5 is virtually unplayable at any time but it doesn't seem to impact anything else and I did the speed test before the issue started but after the Verizon switch and it was at over 300mbps (photo from the day I switched to Verizon).

When I run the test now the highest it has been was 55mbps and last night it was actually at 1.0 mbps.

not sure..its been a while since i had a PS system..but when I did it always seemed to be slower in terms of downloading and such than the xbox

I would've done Ginola but I'll probably be off the game by the time I complete him. Cruyff is good but he has Flair+ on his base card. Think a lot of these cards are going to be obsolete soon anyway since playstyles are king and every top new card has two pluses and three is eventually coming. 5*5* is pretty handy though.

Did Rolfo. I haven't used a chick all year, but seems like she could at least get a +2 and is well rounded. She's going to mess up my chemistry though.

Yeah TOTW's are buffed since 85 is the min. the past few weeks. I just hate doing them, especially on the app.

Finally pulled my first Team 2 promo card. Fodder ofc lol.

I keep hearing Rolfos injured. Not sure if that’s true though. Let me know what you think of her if you get a chance to use her.

I assume you got the French guy? I already have 6 of the Team 2 cards. This was my 87x4 season reward:

She hasn't played all year but is apparently practicing and the women's 4 games are stretched out longer than the men's I think. The women's Barca team is a wagooooon, so I think she may at least get the team upgrades even if she doesn't play. They haven't lost and have only given up 4 goals all year lol.

I hear that Smolarek is cracked btw.

Yeah him and Orban. I went with the 85x10. Figured I'd at least finish Rolfo.

Did you finish WL?

 

[FLYguy3911]

Yeah hit 11 and dipped. Only free win I got was the last game I was trying to give away and he gave it to me lol so finished with 12 lol. Finally packed gold Neymar out of the player pick.

Yep, 12-8 too. Considering the horrendous slow gameplay this weekend, I’ll take it.

Worst rewards I’ve ever got though. Unpacked that same shit 86 Fantasy Marmoush THREE TIMES in my rewards picks/packs.

Dealing with dupes so I didn’t open the packs yet. But right after I said I didn’t pack any new promo cards I got all the fodder ones. I got Porro in back to back packs.

It's the best thing to happen to gaming l.

@Striiker another Porro in a player pick.

It’s unreal, isn’t it?

Dupe theory is why I’m not using my gold Messi, Putellas, Hansen, CR7, VVD, KBD, Salah, etc in SBCs.

Eventually it’ll work in my favor!

 

[Strawberry Fields]

Nothing current but I've been wanting an HDMI connector cable for the longest time so I can play my PS2 again and a buddy at work hooked me up with a recommendation. Now I'm finally reunited with my first love after almost a decade. First order of business was starting a Flyers dynasty and trading for Datsyuk.

I remember that soundtrack having some bangers.

06 and 07 are both still top-tier soundtrack wise as far as I'm concerned.

Tempted to get some of the more acclaimed games that I never owned or played myself now that I've got the console back up and running (NHL 2004, NFL 2K5).
