My two year old, forced a credit card into the disc slot of my PS4, so while I am waiting for my PS4 Pro to arrive in the mail I thought I would play some FIFA 2010 World Cup.

What has been most telling for me is that nearly none of the default stadiums have been updated since 2010. They have been scaled up to 1080p but the models are the exact same, as are most of the crowd noises. I realise that EA don't add much year or year for offline modes but nearly a decade and nearly no changes to default stadiums, really?

If EA don't refocus signifcantly on Career Mode I won't ever buy it again, and happily keep playing the 2010 World Cup version and FIFA 19. It feels like EA make Career Mode just broken enough every year to keep it from being enjoyable long term to push people to play Ultimate Team.


 A are being taken to court over Ultimate Team's use of micro currencies and their targeting of young children to buy them. I hope these court cases jolt them to realisation that attempting to squeeze even more money out of their consumers after a full price retail release is unethical. I frankly couldn't despise Ultimate Team more, and the fact that you need to spend real money to be competitive without spending huge hours in the game is reprehensible.
