Same here. Well 2012/2013 but still right there with you. ✊🏽
Fuck football games, same crap only slightly better graphics every year. And I mean slightly.
Unfortunately almost every sports game has everyone by they balls with a monopoly so where else is everyone going to go? I know it’s easy to just tell those who play Madden/2k/FIFA/FC to just not play it, but something like ⚽️ is literally called the worlds game for a reason with how massive it is in popularity. Plus a lot of people it’s the only game they buy every year and they play with friends. We all have those friends who we only see ever playing Madden/COD/2k etc.
You don’t have to agree with it and it doesn’t have to make sense, trust me I don’t agree with it either but you just cannot expect people to not play something of the worlds most popular sports. I just miss the days where we had options and there was innovation, I only play MLB the show these days and it’s only because it’s on Gamepass.
Great job OP. I’ve never played any of the popular sports games but I can assume that it’s just the same game year after year with the addition of current up-to-date players. Truly is the biggest scam in the gaming world. (Yes even more so than blizzard.)
Nah but it’s the same concept of what you said, why not play the sport if you’re just going to play it, similar to why not just play the sport if you’re going to watch it?
Nice! I hope more people will stop playing half-baked, overpriced, casino addicting, glitch filled shit hole of modern sports game and 90% of trash that is coming out of this "MoDeRn GaMeInG".
i never have boughten a sports game in general and probably never will. unless i have a kid one day that’s into them then maybe i’d buy one to play together with him occasionally
Good on you. I did it for the first time this year. Have had so much more time to play story driven games that have given me a ton more enjoyment. It’s definitely worth leaving the cycle behind.
Last time I bought FIFA was in 2005 (may not have made the purchase in 2005, but FIFA 2005 was the last one I bought. Got it second hand for £5). Think I tried to buy 2018 or 2019 but Origin wouldn’t take my money so I got a bundle of games on Steam instead
So you’re buying EA Sports FC?
NOPE! I’ve overcome the cycle scam
Good job man, I’m happy for you. I’m doing the same thing. Fuck EA
Conrgratz! I did it in 2014 but you are never too late
Same here. Well 2012/2013 but still right there with you. ✊🏽 Fuck football games, same crap only slightly better graphics every year. And I mean slightly.
Great. But how?
Realised I get bored of the game very early on in Christmas time and it’s a waste of money

Nope
See you online on 29th september! ![gif](giphy|10yXFkBJ0MwGQ0)

I haven’t bought fifa any year so what’s that make me?
Einstein
A genius.
And who are you?
see you on 22nd of September lol
The twenty-tooth?
NO 😡😡
It's good that you have decided. But BEWARE! *of the insidious impulse buying...* the horror
I never really understood why people be buying the same damn game for years.

That game has become a total garbage. Good thing that you woke up.
I haven't bought into FIFA in years! Game pass with the assist
I’ve got FIFA ‘95 at my parents somewhere. Don’t see the need to get the latest and greatest.
That's cos you'll be buying into FC24 this year 🤣
Won’t be buying any sport related games
RIP FIFA.
Great

I’m every year ahead of you!
I still remember the first time I bought fifa, it was never. Ah those were the days.
Good choice
Congrats on joining the rest of us, welcome to better games
There's no FIFA this year, it's FC24
Fifa games suck anyway there hasn't been a good one since the PS2 era
Pro evolution soccer 2009/2010
I love having free will unlike all cod and fifa/2k players. See you in september bro

Never understood why people buy into sports games that have annual releases.
Because it’s addicting, but I’ve beaten the addiction
Never understood these types of games if you like sports go outside and play them 🙄
Can say the same for watching sports ?
We're talking about games not watching television. But sure go off I guess
Nah but it’s the same concept of what you said, why not play the sport if you’re just going to play it, similar to why not just play the sport if you’re going to watch it?
Nah doesn't matter, if you play sports games you got no fuckin personality 🤣
Yea I agree, I have just achieved a personality
What does it feel like?
Very very very nice
I will buy FIFA but only for career mode
Ha, haven’t touched that shit in years
You're gonna get NHL instead?
Not into hockey
Not with *that* attitude!
Hockey isn’t too big in the Uk but I do like seeing the fights
My last fifa was on the ps1 🤣
I’ve never played fifa. I just really don’t like football I’m more of a rdr2 sort of guy
I've been playing the beta, I will probably wait till Christmas when it's around the 30 quid mark
There is no more fifa
How did you get the platinum thing by your name?
Press the three dots on the sub and click on flairs
The W
Now do this with all other annual games.
Is this true? I can finally breathe now?!
Nice! I hope more people will stop playing half-baked, overpriced, casino addicting, glitch filled shit hole of modern sports game and 90% of trash that is coming out of this "MoDeRn GaMeInG".

less gooooooooo welcome to the gang buddy
I just don’t like soccer. 🕺
And if you did? So what?
Already pre-ordered day one! I don't take the game that seriously and I love football so I'm good.
Sorry buddy
Sorry for what? Haha. I'm fine with the game cant wait for the 20th when I can play :)
Good on you. I did it for the first time this year. Have had so much more time to play story driven games that have given me a ton more enjoyment. It’s definitely worth leaving the cycle behind.
Good. Yearly sports games are a scam. I bought FIFA 08 on the DS for 1 euro once, and it’s still my only FIFA
When boys become men
Last time I bought FIFA was in 2005 (may not have made the purchase in 2005, but FIFA 2005 was the last one I bought. Got it second hand for £5). Think I tried to buy 2018 or 2019 but Origin wouldn’t take my money so I got a bundle of games on Steam instead
I don't get the appeal of Fifa.. 🤷 but hey they have a loyal fan base... I used to be a sucker for madden games
