Yay!! Another PSN outage. It's been down for me since last evening. Grr and stuff.

As compensation we get 5 days free PSN.

That team is absolutely unreal, no wonder you won everything. Yeah I should of picked up Fm24, was on sale not that long ago. Decided to wait a couple of months for the new one instead. It was like £17 on steam a few weeks back, then went back up to £45. Now although I can afford it, but it is the principal of it. 😜

You should pick up Fm24 with the editor mod and download the retro databases from TheMadScientist. Currently playing an arsenal save that started in the 1998/99 season. Brought in Gabriel Batistuta, a 19 year old Ronaldinho, a 20-year old Nesta and I’ve got Kaka, Robben, Ribery, Eto’o and Vidic in my academy. On the 3rd season atm having won damn near everything 2 yesrs in a row. Current team is attached. Also brought in a 16 year old Lahm who’s already rated at 2 1/2 stars

Luckily only night missed of gaming and I wasn't on personally anyway so I didn't feel the impact tbh. I always think these moments are because hackers took them down rather than their infrastructure got screwed. Obviously we'll probably never know but seems more feasible this can be happen in this day and age.

It's a good job Sony are back-peddling on the PSN requirement for some of their PC games now. This was announced prior to this latest outage but it just goes to prove that such things just hamper their games and gamers alike. Imagine not being able to play a single player game on PC which is already DRM protected by Steam, just because Playstation is down once more. 5 days free PSN is also a peculiar reward seeing that most people compensated will be rolling PSN members regardless. Doesn't make sense really. With a range of Microsoft games coming to PS5 soon like Halo and Forza Horizon 5, incidents like these will become even more embarrassing for them.

Sega will definitely be fuming especially with the licencing costs they are shipping for what will be nothing this year! They'll also be furious that there isn't a contingency plan in place i.e have an annual update on the side, which they can charge a smaller amount for but at least it'll keep money coming in and people happy. Konami did the same for their final paid eFootball game before they transitioned to a new engine and a F2P model and that worked pretty well and they were also honest about what was going on and what would be in the final product. Definitely should've been in place especially with the amount of high-risk changes and updates they were doing for FM25 and you just can't get away with delays or non-releases in annual franchises. A rare but extremely costly mistake from SI games. Not a travesty for the community though as a database mod update will do the job but it's disappointing none the less.

A whole new engine, the game is in no state to release to the public. Apparently they wanted to add woman's football leagues as well. I think people will be disappointed, but at least they will miss a year. Unlike Fifa or cod, they would just roll that shit out anyway. Sega will be pissed at all the preorders cancelled and refunds on FM25. I was actually thinking about picking it up, as I have been out of the FM series for a about a decade. I liked all the old school championship managers, premier manager, LMA Manager etc.

Seems to be all back in order now, but holy hell. You'd figure they would've learned from the last time.

Pretty embarrassing for Sony especially with all the money that's involved on the network now with 3rd party games. Activision and Epic must be peeved! Wonder if they are getting DDOS'd like it's 2011 again🤣
