With horror I started scrolling through pages of charges — $109, $109, $109 — sometimes two a day. More than $4,500 of charges for virtual FIFA players going back several months. I shouted for my wife, my son was inconsolable.

Never Forget goons: Don't Ever Buy Packs!

drbesty posted:

So, 3.5 million coins worth of packs, around 550 packs, surely a guaranteed Ronaldo? Maybe a Messi? Hell even a Ribery would be great, but no.

The best player I got was Di Maria, which is nice, but I already have the 94 rated version. Next best was Kompany, packed him twice, but again I already have him. After that was IF Busquets, in fact I got eight IF cards, five of them being absolute cack, I pulled Kolo Toure four times

How many Fifa points would this have set me back? I don't know, but it would be lots, and it wouldn't have been worth it, I got literally one player worth more than 100k out of 3.5 million spent packs.

The moral of the story is don't buy packs.

Demo is out today for XBone/PC, out tomorrow for PS4. FIFA 15 is nearly here!



DATES:
FIFA 15 demo is available on XBox & PC RIGHT NOW, and on PS4 tomorrow!
FIFA 15 is out on 23 September 2014 in North America, 25 September in Europe, 26 September 2014 in the UK.

You have a 100% win record?

Do you mind posting your record, as I think you'll find you have a 0% win record, whereas I have never lost a game

In relation to a win record you cant have won infinity % of games tho thats umpossible.

At 0 games played your win record is 0%

To get my win percentage I divide total games won by total games played, 0/0 tends to infinity scrub

I pulled an IF Podolski on one of my free packs last year during the web app period when the game wasn't quite out yet...and then I accidentally discarded him. <3 Web app.

It looks nice and feels a ton better and still runs at 60 fps without a hitch on my PC, so hoorah.

It felt a lot like Pro Evo to me, the few games I've played this evening. Very very fast, and it seems you can't just beat sprinting players by basically just not sprinting anymore.

Ask me about Game Pass: the Best Deal in Gaming!
This demo was better than the fifa 14 demo, so I guess that's good. It's more arcadey than 14 which is also good. Dribbling doesn't feel stiff and weird anymore. I will be buying this game on an xbox 360 because gently caress buying any of the new consoles that cost a bunch and have nothing on them. I will be also be playing the FUT trading card game because it's the only fun online mode and despite popular belief it's incredibly easy to figure out. I expect to be brutally trolled for this by adults who completed online virtual panini world cup sticker albums.

Probably not and apparently all the Dutch and English stadiums have goal line tech and the others don't. That won't get old quick.

I'm getting this for the ps4, hopefully someone will pick me up. I'm going to be pretty horrid but I'm consistently online and am generally better than an AI player at least. So there's that.

I was skeptical about upgrading from fifa 14, but after trying the demo I'm pretty much sold. Not only does it look better, but it plays and feels better too. Hopefully they didn't cut any features out of the manager mode like they did in NHL 15.
