Summer '24 transfer window

I was more concerned it was Mel Gibson he was on about...

 

It wasn’t me who started the latest rumour

 

Not used it myself since I was at school if ever but drop dead is just an expression. Don't get why anyone would get so upset about it, I mean I wouldn't take it literally. Seems slightly politer than f*** off

 

"Welcome to Sunderland Aaron Connelly"

 

Wilson is infectious, Salis looks like he will have a big personality too, looking forward to seeing more of them both

 

He’s a character Wilson mind. Hope he gets a goal soon. Looks so happy & settled to be here.

We have had loads of face scans done on EAFC so we class for a career mode. Not that I imagine many on here play it

 

I’m a big sad bastard that buys it every year so that’s music to my ears

 

Yeah he seems a great character you need a few people like that around any group.

I'm on season 3 of EAFC24 career mode and I think Aouchiche is about the only one with a face scan, presumably because he came from PSG. For the record Neil is my top rated player on 83 or so.

 

Got Fifa19 on disc with my then new x box. Thought it was great. Got Fifa 21 on disc for £3.99. ****! Got new x box without disc drive. Got Fifa 23 through Game Pass. ****! Cant get Fifa 19 through Game Pass, cant even pay anymore to down load it. Cant play Fifa 19 anymore. Gutted. Ive heard that the new games since Fifa 19 have getting worse and worse. What do you think?

 

I'm not sure they're getting worse exactly, I don't think the series has ever been much cop. I used to prefer PES but last time I checked they'd ditched career mode entirely so it's EAFC or nothing for me.

The game is ok, nothing special but covers all the bases and is good enough to regularly spend a bit of time with.

 

There’s a load been done, Trai & Ballard, Neil, Alese, Roberts and possibly few more can’t tell just had a Quick Look

 

Fifa 19 seemed easier to defend but harder to score (on career mode). On World Class level I would normally have low scoring games.

Fifa 21 & 23 seemed harder to defend but easier to score. Fifa 21 on World Class level, First game of the season against Wigan I think it was, drew 5-5. 'What a match!' I thought. Won the next one 4-3. Halfway through the 3rd I turned it off, never played it again, went back to Fifa 19. Tried Fifa 23. Same thing, except the keepers were terrible. Like any shot was likely to go in. A couple of games into the season my keeper let a goal in, powder puff shot from the edge of the area, went about a foot past the keepers ankle, and he did one of those despairing dives, like he accepted it was going in as though he was nowhere near it. OFF!! It was then that I realised that I couldnt play Fifa 19 anymore! Fuming!

P.S. FIFA 21 & 23, My defenders had the reactions and turning circle of the Titanic, and it just seemed so much easier for me to get into scoring situations. It just wasnt fun.

 

Generally with footy games I find that you're battling against whatever fate the game has decided for you before kickoff, which explains why sometimes a keeper can't save the easiest of shots and sometimes they are literally unbeatable.

I used to play them on the rock hard difficulty, but it made me want to throw the controller at the tv when I was supposed to be playing to relax. These days I just bump it up a bit and have fun battering all and sundry with a beer after work. Just won the quadruple with Sunderland, so it's very realistic

 

I have tried the last few games when they have been bought by someone else or free on games pass etc...

Don't play more than a few hours before chucking my toys.

I find career etc quite boring and too time consuming between matches and ultimate team I won't pay to win. So I try online seasons and some games I think I've cracked it then next minute can't defend to save my life so it ends up being turned off!

My little lad has been asking me for months when is it out because he wants it. So I'll have a go on his Xbox but that's it.

 

I stopped playing it probably 12/13 years ago now, been the same regurgitated ****e for years. I enjoy a bit of Football Manager when that’s released every year like.

Had to laugh yesterday though was scrolling and a short video of a streamer opening his first pack on the new FIFA. Flashes up as a gold card and it’s a walkout which must mean it’s a good player, then a France flag pops up with CDM so he’s jumping around in excitement and the final clue is that it’s a Montpellier player. So now he’s confused next thing a woman pops up 80 rated he’s absolutely devastated She’s better than any of our players on the game.. pathetic




Found the video enjoy!

Genuinely don’t mind it so long as he focuses and fixes his attitude

he’s a good player

 

Wonder if the new owners over at DELL have sanctioned this...?

 

Na na na na na na na na naaaaaa

 

Happy with Connolly signing as it seems more and more like Isidore will be our replacement winger not striker.

People wanted proven championship goalscoring ability and he is it.
