I ended up picking this up @phil bottle if you are around at any point to jump on. I think it is really atmospheric and looks really good too. Did a couple of missions on my own and extracted with a bunch of gear and started building up my benches. Then played one with @GazzaGarratt & @Macca89 and Lee decided to take some walker thing on, some snitches etc after looting all the boxes so Macca had no loot to grab, we all lost our health to it then got took out by enemy players. I think my limited experience with Lee suggests he is not suited to the slower pace of these games and that you don't need to keep running off everywhere.

Man...now you've made me look back at my early article posts....those days....❤️🖤

Its been around for some years as this is what I really tried hard to use right at the start before switching to manual ways of collecting the stats each week. EA actually stopped Pro Clubs Head from getting the data for a while in the API, which was a real shame but I think back then it was also because it would only keep the last 5 or 10 games we'd played and it would wipe previous games. I still used it for the team names we played back in the day (if you see some of the early articles stats pictures, the names were cut from there so we'd get the badges and full score 🙂).

They apparently sacked an entire studio for gross misconduct in relation to confidential information leaked online. Those employers are backed by a union but it's hard to tell whether this actually happened in which it is a severe breach of contract or Take2 are looking for an easy way out to cull more employees now the job is 95% done. I'd say it's the latter because I can't see how 40 individual people would collectively leak such information at this stage. It'll probably go to a tribunal and then Rockstar will just frustrate the process and try and pay them off limited compo and piss them off to such a degree, they wouldn't ever want their jobs back.

Is anyone bothered about delays anymore? Because I'm not. I know we're supposed to have less patience as we get older, but surely give all the time you need to make a game fully complete. 🤷‍♂️ That way, we also don't have to crunch staff either.

They're just another scumbag company that treats its workers like shit. Maybe this is because they worry that they can't force people into ridiculous long hours any more, as I hear their staff are trying to unionise.

Another 6 months until 19th November 2026 which is more than a year away.

anyone remember this donkey kong rip off from sega

Some thoughts on AR with HUD off. It seems every is loving this game : )

I think the games played would be useful to have on there, otherwise it looks really good.

It is yes, this been around a while then? It takes stats from EA’s own pro clubs website so you could go direct too if you wanted It does, I just clipped a few stats from there, there are other breakdowns on there as well such as your win percentage playing for the club and such.

It doesn’t actually state how many games each person has played.

That looks like Pro Clubs Head?! Is it finally back working again?? If so, thats awesome. It won't pick up all the stuff we see and where we give assists where its probably the game not crdeting the player, but nice one for finding this as its still some fantastic stats to see! Also shows how MoMs and ratings are defo linked to goals and clean sheets for a GK. We did pretty well last night too, 2 whole promotions in one night 😄

So I got chatting with a new guy at work today and it turns out he plays quite a lot of clubs (in much better teams than us) however he has made me aware of a new website and I thought I would extract some bits off it from last night's session:- So for those wondering how we got on:- & then one for @DrCasket at the end:-

anyone remember this one

It's definitely down to them trying to appeal to the COD audience. If I want to play COD then I'll play COD. I don't want to play a BF that's like COD. I play both of them because they're different to each other.

Its not a cheap game so definitely do your research. If you need any YouTube recommendations let me know 🙂

I'll definitely take WRC24 thanks very much. Cheers for sharing @slamminbones! ❤️

mario and luigi doing there job for once

So I have been looking at these, I think it is difficult to say if the price is wrong or right as similar to the PC market there is such a wide range of price points based on the hardware and specs. The base model puts it similar to the OLED steamdeck and looking at reviews performance wise I don't believe they are too far apart. Where you lose out with the screen though the screen is still meant to be decent but you then get access to all gaming librarys a bit easier and game pass which is a lot trickier with the steam deck. The more expensive model comes in a little more affordable than the premium options such as the Legion Go 2 and the onexplayer and such. It has reviewed quite well and the Xbox ally X is an improvement on the Rog ally X that it was built upon. However the limiting factor seems to be the OS still, it's windows and it is just not optimised well enough. I am planning to upgrade my steamdeck (my brother is having it) and have my sights on the Lenovo Legion Go S. It is comparable to the base Xbox Ally specwise but performs much much better and by all accounts it is just down to the Steam OS and it's optimisation of games and such.

I think part of that is the spawns as well, I don't know if you have noticed but if you are capturing a base and people spawn in on said base they almost always spawn behind you. I think this is about trying to keep everything happening at a fast pace for players, you know the ADHD aspect of COD.

The maps are just bad. I've played BF since Bad Company and I've generally enjoyed most of them (we can all just forget Hardline exists) but I just don't like this game. I don't remember getting shot in the back as much as I do in this game. I think it's because the maps are really small compared to previous BF games.

Yes sorry. Yes it is a bad thing, progression for this series should have been smarter maps, more tactical gameplay, improve upon the building elements of BFV, improving the destruction (which they have but the battle royale show's it could have gone further), develop naval warfare. They had to do it with BFV as well when they first attempted battle royale, this is becoming a recurring theme now and if it happens a third time around and is not successful then I know a few people who won't return to the series. This is CODafield currently and that's fine if that is the direction they go in and it works, but as you say if those COD fans go straight back to COD when it is realeased it will be all for nothing and will have further alienated the fan base that has kept this series going.
