3 weeks later I’m logging in to collect my daily bonuses. “Hope I get a good pull out of today’s free summon” I tell myself while hoping for the best. The novelty of playing such a thing long since fading from memory as I settle into the fact that I’m playing this unironically now

this isn’t a badpost. this is a confession of sin and a cry for help

    Yeah that’s my point. Some company could come and take EA’s lunch by doing it but with characters that have bright and fun personalities and designs instead of the boring as fuck footballers. The footballers are the weakest link.

      Hmmm I can’t say that tbh. The footballers can have unique characteristics. The appeal of getting legends on the card is elite. Footballers are larger than life personalities so they are a massive selling point. A bunch of NPCs in football just wouldn’t be the same. Part of the appeal of FIFA is the simulation aspect and some of the realism (I’m using realism loosely). Its why a game like football manager which seems like it would be bland sells like crazy. Same with Madden
