That's the truth. That game has been responsible for more broken controllers and household damage than any other.
Madden says hold my beer lol
Lmao madden is nothing compared to fifa my guy, get into it one year and play some fut champs and you will feel genuinely mad, only game that I had to take a break from because I got so heated
Mario Kart just smiles, and launches shells at everybody.

Dude I am 44. Did you start gaming at like 2yrs?
As a matter of fact yes (I am 43), Space Invaders, Asteroids, Pac Man, or my all time favorite (Donkey Kong). Much simpler time, no worries about being told to “git gud”, being hashtag wrecked or other crazy [censored].
My Dad was a hobbyist, we had a bit of money and he had a dedicated room with all of the aforementioned game cabinets among pinball machines, Atari, C64....
Only score I cared about was my previous best. Personally, it is hard for me to relate to a gamer mentality, or perhaps I see things differently.
JK on the Paxil comment, just another witticism that clearly missed the mark, I meant no offense
I’m telling you, we need an over 40 men’s league where our old eyeballs are all on the same level playing field. RS is totally frustrating at times. One game you’re hitting great, the next game you can’t touch a fastball.

Me and Donkey Kong have a bit of a love/hate relationship. Whenever we are at a place with a DK machine my wife always ends up having to physically drag me away.

"git gud". God I loathe that comment. If a blind man told you her couldn't see would you say, "Really, I see perfectly well."? If an insomniac told you they had trouble speaking, would you reply with, "Really? My head falls asleep as soon as it hits the pillow!"?

Preaching was his Demise.
Well played...

I think that has more to do with the connection than your old dude eyes.

Gamer for 40, you need Paxil
LOL no Paxil needed. The game finally broke me. I think the only other time I've gotten this frustrated was Ninja Gaiden back in the day or Dark Souls.

I play FIFA but mostly stick to co-op ranked seasons or career mode. There is a bunch of BS in coop ranked though.

Remember playing Baseball Stars? Those were the days. I'd kill hours playing that.

...and tonight was the first time I ever broke a controller out of frustration.
I can't take the fielding and base running in this game anymore.
Welcome to the club. We’ve been waiting for you.

Exactly, I’m talking about fut champs. If this community played fifa I’m sure half of it would stop playing video games for life. People are complaining about 1:50 odds for diamonds, meanwhile there are like 1% chances to make you’re money back on a single gold pack, with probably .00001% chance to get a promo player. I could go on for hours but no one would care lmao

They exist. Makes the game much more fun, and custom leagues, while not perfect, plays so much better. Old farts like us can play on HOF with friendly people of all ages, have a 6-16 record and not have a care in the world.

It’s almost exactly the same if we’re being fair. They have the odds posted on packs just like the show and even during the Team of the Season you get about the same 1:50 chance as a diamond in MLB. Packs are never going to make you coins in any game but the ability to make coins if you avoid packs is there, NickRTM has tens of millions of coins to waste on SBCs for fun and would never give EA any money yet has every card. I do them myself and got TOTS Mbappe which is basically 10 Trouts.
They did really well with content this year for the first time with free icons all and year. I actually think it’s better than MLB has been content wise it’s just the laggiest game ever and multiple times worse than the show in every way other than content.
