OT: Video Game Thread Part VIII

Yeah I played some WL last night since I figured it would be less sweaty than Div 2 to get the Goal Obj for the 89x5. I’m 7-2. Couple chokes. Ready to get slammed by Elo lol.

Defending is a bitch now but I will take it if it means my guys aren’t offside 28 times a game in an offside trap. Couldn’t do anything in the final third before the patch with the way I prefer to play passes.

The through balls went from being terrible to OP. They don’t even go where you aim. They go to avoid the defender. I can’t imagine how good that KDB is with his playstyles.
Yup, that’s what happened to me the last two weeks in a row. 8-2 and 7-2, ended up 10-5 both times. :laugh: Best of luck with the last 6 games.

And I know exactly what you mean. I’m just wondering if they might scale it back a little bit in the next patch because obviously this is a big change and most people love it, but EA might think it’s ended up being a little too big of a change. I’m sure they’re looking at stats like goals per game and seeing a huge increase. I guess we’ll see.

Speaking of that KDB SBC… not that you asked but Casillas continues to be the biggest fraud I’ve ever used. If you haven’t done the SBC yet I would definitely NOT recommend it. :laugh:

I’m waiting to see what Bale looks like and go from there. If he has 5* skills I’ll probably do him.

I’m mostly using the 87 Buffon SBC and he only has one playstyle. Casillas has the same one and a bunch of others so in theory he can’t be worse lol.

Is anyone a ninja gaiden fan ?

I remember the original on NES

Microsoft is coming out with

Ninja Gaiden 4 later this year and is taking pre orders

Game pass has brought in 2 previous games

Ninja Gaiden Black and Master Collection

And Ninja Gaiden 3

They also brought back from the Xbox days for 4.99 50% off not sure if that’s game pass pricing

And a big hit from the Xbox 360 days

Ninja Gaiden II for 29.99
 
Started playing the original Red Dead Redemption for the first time...

just 14 years late. Ahaha.

I actually kind of "stopped" playing "1st/3rd person shootery" games pretty much the year it was released...

the last full play-through I had was re-doing GTA San Andreas in early 2010 at University. Which I actually went into with the intention of stopping playing such games after I finished. (as they took up so much time and that time was time I did not have, and prioritized more relaxing games when did play... IE sports sim and sports manager games with occasional RPG.)

Since then messed around playing bits of some newer Assassins Creed and Batman games with my brothers, as well as GTA V with my girlfriend...

but never played one the whole way through or really spent more than a few hours here or there on one.

Kind of incredible how well it still holds up after 14 years... though tbh feel like a lot of games from that era of that style do. GTA San Andreas, GTA IV, The Godfather, Assassins Creed etc.

But might put another 14 year hold on once finish it... ahaha.

Elly DeLaCruz, Gunnar Henderson and Paul Skenes are the cover guys for MLB The Show 25.

Hope they don't have a Madden like curse for The Show.
 
I would just do the 82x20 until my fingers bleed. :laugh:

That was an 83x10, but eventually you have to hit something.
I did them until like 3am and I got absolutely nothing. :(

Meanwhile, literally every player I played in weekend league had at least one, I’m watching streamers get dupes, and I’m playing guys in rivals with 4. Everyone except me is capable, apparently.

f***ing finally man…

After three years and a couple hundred SBCs over the past week, including literally all day long today

Nice lol. If you’re only go to pull one, other than Mbappe or Vini, that is the one.

I don’t know if I’m more jealous that you packed him or that you cleared out all of your packs so you can open them on console. I have 300 shit packs unopened. :laugh:

Yup, zero packs here. I’m a lunatic about that kind of stuff. Can’t have unread texts, emails, unclaimed objective, or unopened packs. :laugh:

So did you end up switching to 4-4-2?

I haven’t played competitively this week. Just ripped the 83x10s and 82x20s. Gave away a few wins in Rivals so I could get relegated to a lower division for the new season. :)

But yeah I’ll most likely have to do that even though I heard it’s terrible after the patch. Or I do Mbappe tomorrow, play him at LW and use one as a super sub. :laugh:

I originally committed to Bale fully intending for him to be my striker. Halfway done the SBC and all of the high rated squads - packed Puskas. Moved Bale to the wing, then packed Eusebio. Rip 4213. Would have been great in FC 24 with the 4321.
