I like my physicals.
In my case, since I'm paying the full retail price I'd prefer it tangible. I don't mind buying digital for cheaper stuff. Plus I like keeping stuff for the future. You can say I'm a collector to a degree.
Exactly ... Also when the physical is £35 and the digital is £55, it just seems a no brainier to me.
Given the pricing of all new release digital titles, I'm surprised they sell any at all.
Oh, speaking of star players, I forgot to say, I tried MyClub this morning.
Upon logging on, I had 5 "special agents", 20,000 credits, and a super-duper loan player. I've now got a team with an average level of 84.
Why bother with the illusion of "you're going to have to work your way up and win tons of games to progress your team and buy new players", when as soon as you click the fucking "myClub" button, you've got a super-squad?
When they do this, you're nearly at the end of your journey (taking a piss-poor team and making them into giants) as soon as you start playing. Does nobody want to earn anything any more?
I hate the mode anyway, but at least in FUT you can choose to restrict yourself to "bronze"-level cup games etc. instead of having to use (and play against) nothing but Ronaldo-level players again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
Between this and the standard online modes where everybody picks Barca\Real, it holds no interest for me even if it isn't laggy-as-balls again this year.
Thank God for the Master League.
The 'Millennial Generation' don't earn anything - they merely request things and they appear in their hands. ;-)
I get what you are saying though, as someone who first gamed on a ZX Spectrum in the 80's - I've always enjoyed earning things in games.
God back then just getting a game to load first time meant you had earned something before you even started the game.
As for playing Football games online with the masses - tried it with PES4 and then years later with FIFA 11 and others - It's just a no go for me as you are playing people that don't care about trying to create any realism or trying to digitally mimic the beautiful game.
They ONLY care about winning at all costs and if that means turning Football into an unrecognisable sport (something akin to Speedball 2) of hounding and pressing and physicality every time you get the ball as all they want is the ball back in their possession this instance, then they use cheap and unrealistic formation tactics that would never be used in real life, all to gain an unfair advantage.
Then if you can see past all that and them selecting Barca and Real EVERY game whilst you have selected a team like Ajaccio and god forbid you somehow manage to go 2-0 up ... they quit the game.
Nah, not for me all that jazz - dipped my toe in that water one too many times and it's always ... Freezing.
The thing is I will happily play plenty of other videogames online but with the 1 on 1 human player experience of a Football title - you need a like minded opponent in my mind, someone who wants to allow you possession at times, someone who is happy to pick Valenciennes, someone who cares about winning but first and foremost cares about trying to recreate the beautiful game in videogame form.
I'm from Indonesia, it's in south east Asia if you never heard of it
