Well, he is slow...

[StanSP]

I like his celebration as well. 

 

 

[RoboFox]

Well the marketing efforts have definitely improved this season.

 

Even though it's a little bit "LadBible"

[Footballwipe]

Really trying hard to care what our player's stats are on FIFA. I'm really trying, but it appears no, I just don't care.

[HankMarvin]

No one cared last year that minus 1 has hit everyone hard

 

[Danizen]

Defence and especially Physical should still be in the 80s

[EastAnglianFox]

Isnt this just a kids computer game? Or am i missing something here?

[Guest]

Sad - that people care and take it as a reflection of the player.

 

Grow up.

[lgfualol]

As someone tweeted, he will still be able to catch up with Ahmed Musa. Classic fifa.

Wash your mouth out. Some of us refugees from the ZX81 days are still playing games avidly. I mean FIFA is never going to be Sensible Soccer or a patch (or 10) on PES, but it can be fun. Play against the PS4 or XBONE and watch his pace hit 129. He’d outrun Vardy.

If they do they are mentally little children but maybe you are reading too much into it.

 

Did you see above that last year his "pace" was 30 now it's 29. Someone is having you on foxile5. Get back to that games machine.

"Dad why are you always so reluctant to talk about your career. Tell us about it?"

 

"Well son, I played over 400 games for Notts Forest, moved to the best team in the East Midlands and was their inspirational leader when we got promoted with 102 points. Then I captained them to the greatest achievement in British football history as they won the Premier League, and took them to the Champions League Quarter-Finals. I was a stalwart, I was a legend. If we ever go back I'd get a standing ovation."

 

"Exactly dad, so why are your medals hidden away, why do you never tell us your great memories?"

 

"Because son.... I got given 29 pace on FIFA20. I never recovered. It ruined me as I realised my career was lie."

You and I have very different definitions of caring.

Just corrected that bit for you.

[SystonFox]

Hahaha his pace was 30 last year. Insane

[That_Dude]

Cheat Engine will right the wrongs, lads.

[spacemunky]

Slap a shadow on him.

No, no, no....you don't understand......it's a kind of virtual reality portal from which 95% of FT transfer hype is based upon, "Well that guy scored seven when I played against my four year old cousin so 40 million sounds a fair price" etc! Rudkin, Whelan and Top are on it day and night making notes apparently.

 

I'm more of a PES man myself, editing retro squads into it. If there's an edit or create player mode in FIFA just give Wes a 99 for pace and watch him zip around like Benny Hill on steroids if it's that annoying.

 

On a serious note the game(s) does help to inform people of all ages about squad depth, formations, European leagues etc (in the way Subbuteo occupied my time) but people need to take it with a pinch of salt, it's not reality. I know they use a massive database but what would it take to get one representative (a fan) of each club to cast their eye over the stats first and say, no that's clearly not right.

 

To be fair though, from the players perspective I can imagine in a close group of work colleagues seeing these interpratations of yourselves released must generate a good degree of "bants", I bet some of the graphical representations (particularly when it wasn't quite as detailed as it is now) caused some serious p*** taking and laughs. Speaking of which, looking forward to seing Soyuncu in digital form!
