Thought “f*** it” and gambled on the 475k 82x100 store pack so I could make a few more 82x10s before 1pm…

Not sure how long it will be free

EA FC 25 is free with game pass to own

Rare for EA to give a game

I want to say they have been giving away the previous years sports games (soccer and hockey) at just over a years pacing.

The convincing I had to do with my mom to let me do that....Absolute game changer though.

There used to be big roster creator beefs back then too accusing each other of stealing rosters. It was a great time to be alive.

PSN in garbage. No update in 16 hours. At least in 2011 it was a free service.

Xbox was fine

Do you do the academy player evo? If yes, who and what playstyles? Seeing who people are using and how they built them has been fascinating.

I did De Winter. Quickstep and Intercept+. I don't think he'll be very good though. Sucks that they wouldn't let you pair up certain play styles. I chose quickstep over intercept because I thought it would be more unique and I already have the intercept + anticipate combo on a Bastoni TOTY evo. Also thought it would be more useful if I had to play him at RB. But now he doesn’t have anticipate at all and 80 aggression. Maybe I messed up somewhere but I put him in one midfielder evo and one defender evo and he either would have had low composure if I put him in the final defender evo or low aggression if I put him in the midfielder one so I split the difference and put him in the midfielder one to get him low 80s in both.

He should be fast though lol. 90 pace with quickstep and mostly lengthy.

Most mobile CB in history Just say screw it and throw a shadow on him. I figured you were going to do another ST to add to your full Icon team of them.

But yeah, it’s sucks that you can’t get the silver version of the playstyle+ options. I made a cam but he doesn’t have quickstep or rapid because I gave him incisive+.

It has been a minute since I dropped by this thread, hasn't it? The 80+ hours and counting I just poured into Metaphor re:Fantazio might have something to do with that. Seriously, I'm late to the bandwagon since I was tied up with other stuff, but if you like any of Atlus' other games (especially Persona) and haven't played this, you're missing a bet. The game is wonderful.

Now the big question: rush through NG+ for the platinum, FFVII Rebirth, Civ VII, or go back to BGIII and try to finish that?

I was less creative and did the RW Nwaneri with First Touch+ and Quick Step+. Switched to playing on playstation again, so had to start over, sadly after TOTY. Managed to have just enough in my club to do the icon player pick and got base Henry though.

We apparently all get a Maradona on Friday, so we'll all get to see Maradona + Zidane in almost every game moving forward

You think the boys should team up to get our 1000s in co-op?

 

[CutOnDime97]

Are the BioShock sequels any good? Loved the first one, do they live up to it?

May have finally played CFB 25 into the ground.

I don’t think I got 1000 in me to be quite honest.

My friend and I got to a new high of ~930 in co-op this year, and we were quite contented. There aren’t that many guys that high, and it’s harder than solo to rank up. We’ve beaten multiple teams with top 50 logos though.

 

[FLYguy3911]

They added a higher difficulty for 1000+ rated games. Good luck with that on co-op connections.

I never played 2, but I really enjoyed Infinite when it came out. I've played it since and while it does feel a bit dated, it's still enjoyable. The setting itself is the real star of the show.

Me trying to see that microscopic PCI:

Bioshock 2 is basically Bioshock 1.5. It’s a totally fine game, but it’s really not worth it. Bioshock Infinite might be better than Bioshock. More interesting protagonist, one of the best companions, debatably better setting (less horror but more going on), and one of the most mindblowing endings ever. It’s a must-play, and it ties into the original in surprising ways.

The sets killed my pals this year. I don’t even think they lasted past season 2.
