I like how this game features "expected goals" which real shows how dumb that stat is and/or how terrible I am at finishing

Never played FUT before but figured I'd give it a try on a lark. It's fun so far but my only question is, is there any easy way to figure out which Squad Building Challenges you can complete with what players you have?

I bought FIFA 22 on ps network so I can play with my buddies. But they are on PS4, so I can’t play with them unless I pay 100 bucks for the ultimate edition. No refunds because I downloaded the game before I realized we couldn’t play. gently caress EA.

Futbin has an SBC section that has user submitted solutions. Most usually copy the solutions so some of the listed prices can be inflated because everyone rushes to buy those players on the market so I use the solutions mainly to just a better idea of what links I need to use.

The PS4 only version is the same price so if you contact PS support there's a chance they might let you exchange it

Nope, and generally I'd say the expectation is you're gonna be buying players to fill in any more complicated sbcs, or high rated ones or whatever.

Thanks. Game looks great, but I also haven’t really played any FIFA in the last ten years. Time to watch some YouTube videos or something and figure out how to actually play the game

There's also a way to import your club to futbin and then it shows you which players yo can use for which sbc. It doesn't work very good though.
I mostly used futbin to get an idea of how to complete the objectives. For example if a team used 4-5 players from the same league but with different nationalities, I'd check my club to see if I have a lot of players from the same league and then try to go from there.

Yeah same pretty much. For some of the top tier advanced sbcs and/or the puzzle sbcs they add occasionally its sometimes better to just go with exactly one of the presented solutions or you wind up in a situation where you keep making replacements until you've overspent anyway.

Oh yeah also not just hopterque if anyone else wanted to play PS5 parmos (pro clubs) let me know, we can barely field a team since a couple people quit or didnt' get PS5s and no one new has joined in awhile

You don't have to be good as long as you don't just like never pass or anything insane like that, we are very chill and just play to have a good time and maybe score some spicy goals sometimes

anyone still playing this dumb game?

I took a 5 or 6 week break but came back a couple weeks ago ahead of TOTS, really disappointed in them gutting WL rewards, was looking forward to some tradeable TOTS packs.


Did some SBCs the last couple weeks with accumulated fodder, and got prime VDS from icon swaps.




I tried the Raspadori sbc before I did Nedved but despite very promising stats and 4star/5star, that guy really sucked for me. Nedved has been excellent (which all of his cards typically are for me)

Hello fellow Serie A merchant. Playing on PS5 and I took a ~1 month break after Future Stars and came back around FUT Fantasy and have been enjoying it since. I've saved up 60 packs so far for TOTS (going to open tradeables during Prem and untradables during Serie A). Love Raspadori though - I used his Future Stars card up until this one.

hahahahaha, remember when FIFA made a movie?

quote:

In its own statement later on Tuesday, FIFA said it would be launching new soccer video games developed with third-party studios and publishers. Several non-simulation games were already in production and will launch in the third quarter of this year, FIFA added.

"I can assure you that the only authentic, real game that has the FIFA name will be the best one available for gamers and football fans," FIFA president Gianni Infantino said. "The FIFA name is the only global, original title. FIFA 23, FIFA 24, FIFA 25 and FIFA 26, and so on -- the constant is the FIFA name and it will remain forever and remain THE BEST."

lmao at just thinking "oh yeah dude we're gonna just keep the series going no problem". shocking that the old corrupt scumbags don't have a solid grasp on what goes in to making a videogame.

i don't even think they're actually going to be able to continue the licensing and branding stuff and actually make "fifa 23, fifa 24" etc, they'll have to go with some other naming convention probably.


Also the rumor has been that they might have contracted with 2K to make the new mainline 'sports sim' style game which will be an unmitigated disaster for a bunch of reasons, including that 2k doesn't have any sort of reliable server infrastructure for europe seemingly judging by what it's like trying to play the nba2k series over here.

It is 100% this. No one in FIFA has the first clue what goes into making a game from scratch and they're in for a fun time soon. According to The Athletic, FIFA saw how much of EA's revenue it was worth (reportedly 1/3 of their annual of 5.6 billion!) and decided they wanted a bigger piece, and when they and EA couldn't come to an agreement decided they'd get all of it.

e: also I think the thread title is answered, now

For anyone still playing if you're running a bundesliga team or defense or whatever do yourselves a favor and do the objective for flashback Süle. I've been using his showdown card for ages and it's been a complete rock for me in defense, and the new one is just a straight up +2 upgrade on it and free.

I've been playing this since it was free on ps+ which is mega cool. I used to buy fifa every year but stopped around fifa 12 or so. Now I only get it every so often and only when it's super cheap or free! I only really play career mode anyway. Currently taking Sutton United to champions league glory
