Can we not utilise a website like Pro Clubs Head? Might make keeping track slightly easier..

Haven't been able to play too much yet. 30 games in and I've still got quite a bit to learn and unlock first.

I have only just bought Modern Warfare 2 so I might be a bit late to the party but, I really enjoyed getting on with a few of you guys @GazzaGarratt @Greboth@Macca89  and having a laugh. Seems to be quite a solid game, getting used to the guns and stuff but all seems to be quite similar to the previous MW. 
 
Will have to give the new Warzone a shot soon as well, so looking forward to that 🙂

Yeah, EA really have made it a struggle once again as the only option i'd say is for the PS5 players to get the cross-gen version which gives you access to both PS4 and PS5 game. We still have around 6 people playing on PS4s and i'm not leaving any of them behind, its not what we do.
 
As for FIFA23, i'd like to see if we can pull off some different challenges alongside Pro Clubs. Cup runs would help more often, and then there is the Tourneys we create for ourselves on here. Sunday and Monday seem the better nights for regular playing still, although we should always remind people you don't have to show up for both and we can always do ad-hoc nights on other days if we find enough want to play. If we use the Events on FG correctly, we can always check who is coming and if there's at least 4 people it should be a good one.
 
I also need to look at new Achievements for the new game but also need to look at what to do about keeping stats. I don't want it to be a huge overhead for me to do but equally its fun if we do it for each session. When inconsistency of record keping and CBA thoughts to it are creeping in, then it just devalues why we do it. I'd like to spin up the Game Hub page once again properly and also get quite a few Guides out - people still probably don't realise @jordie1892 's guides on builds for FIFA 21 are sitting there with way over 10k hits on each so it shows it helps us and new people coming to FG.
 
FInal ask would be I'd love for us to have a huge squad and now I think subs can work, it means we can have more than 11 sometimes and multiple nights for us all to play together.

@GazzaGarrattare you able to allow someone else to upload stats to the site for clubs? I don't mind helping record them if so

Yeah absolutely you can help! I think the challenge is finding an easier way to capture them and then upload them. I just need to find a place for us to do it which works well showing them off on FG. Lets search for some ways to do it outside the spreadsheet I do currently and if all else fails we'll do it the same way but i'll do a simplistic template for people to help me 😄

I suspect you'll need at least the PS4 version as myself and a few others still don't have a PS5 👍
 
Completely understand about the money, it's why we don't jump over straight away leaving anyone behind 😊 I know I'm definitely in the same boat as yourself.

Can definitely win Division 1 this time 🏆

Welcome to the FIFA 23 FG thread — hopefully we'll be able to go through some important subjects, and discuss how we've all been feeling about the game so far!
 
If you have any screenshots or replays you'd like to share of the game already feel free to comment on this thread as I'm sure it'd be great to see some of the amazing goals you guys have already gotten!
 
Another thing I thought would be good to discuss, would be when we want to start the pro Clubs sessions on FIFA 23? I know this can be a bit of a difficult situation with people getting the game at different times, but it would be good to know when the majority can start playing. To understand this I've put together a poll so you can go and vote if you've got the game or when you think you'll be getting it or not. Just so we don't leave anybody behind! Vote here
 
Something else I wanted to clarify was if the schedule was to everyone's liking or if we'd enjoy a change of pace — a few people recently haven't been able to play due to the timing and this could be a chance to change this up. Again I've put together a poll where you can go and have you say. Vote here
 
 
Otherwise I look forward to seeing your videos and screenshots and hopefully we'll all be able to enjoy the new game together.

After christmas for me, i have contemplated it but its a money thing. Do we need to get the ps4 or 5 version or the ultimate?

Happy to wait until after Christmas to play the new one, but sooner the better. We have to win Div 1 this season!

I had the full ps subscription because I had PS Now before hand but when renewal is due in January I think it unlikely I will renew the full subscription -
 
The premium was meant to have some older games, PS1, PS2 etc and it's been really poor. Surely before announcing it they should have had a timeline of games coming up?
 
The extra is ok I guess but there really isn't much on there that I want to play, I am playing pathfinder kingmaker but after that I think I am done.
 
So back to the basic subscription for me for the new year.

Never too old! There is a guy up our allotment who is 96! There is another who is partially blind too!
 
The spikey flower head is actually an allium, it was on it's way out when that photo was taken but if you google alliums pretty much everything that will come up will look more akin to what it is in bloom 🙂 They are quite pretty and certainly grab some attention.
 
 
Veg tends to be either given to us or we keep things back from last year, i.e. all our potato's that we grow next year will be whatever we have left over this year just put in the ground 🙂
 
As for flowers, the dahlia's are my go to and you tend to pick them up as tubers or small plants. Again if they grow well and I'm particularly fond when the tuber's get over a certain size you break them up when you store them away for next year and essentially you get multiple plants of the same sort.
 
If I was to buy seeds it often varies, I have had success with a couple of stores on ebay, suttons is quite good as well or dt browns 🙂 But otherwise most of my stuff tends to come from a little garden centre I found a few years back that I'm quite fond of.
 
 
Aggh don't test me 😄 Nothing of mine ever looks pretty (unless I just take a cutting of a single flower head 😄 ) Gardening is a patience thing most definately, it's why people tend to just buy flowers each year and throw them in their flower beds but at home we have tried to build up a garden using plants and flowers that come back again each year. We have a couple of camellia's which are lovely (flowering season is a bit short though). The other things is the type of soil you mentioned earlier, like certain flowers don't like acidic or alkiline soils, at home we have clay soil which is horrible to work with as it means your plants sit in water when you get crap weather and it dries out in the summer so you need to consider that (or as we are, you spend time each year working in compost and the such to improve it).
 
Gardenings just a vast subject 😄 I have considered doing a course a couple of times, it would be one of those things that if I could pick any career and money wasn't an issue I would likely be a gardner I think.
