Re: EA FC 24

FC 24 is on the chart of best-selling games but there are reports that it's not selling as well as the FIFA-branded games. Interesting if true. Unfortunate timing, this is a Euro year and then next WC in 2026. EA used to put out Euro and WC editions in addition to the usual game. Then also Road to t...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Mostly watch the majors now. Not even sure where to watch non-major tourneys these days.

I guess this is the furthest he's gotten in a major, even the semifinal vs. Djoko was new territory for him.

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Never heard of this 22 year old Jannik Sinner, who almost swept Djokovic in the Australian Open Semis. Italian but with a name like that, probably from South Tyrol. But he was the 4th seed and apparently ranked high. Most of the top 10 are in their mid 20s but the youngest are Alcaraz, a Holger Rune...

Re: eFootball 2024

So free means no licensed clubs or players?

Is there an easy way to load real rosters and kits?

And is there still an avid community to create and distribute them?

Re: eFootball 2024

Are you referring to the EA Sports game without the FIFA license? They call it FC24 and it is releasing on 9/29? Seeing commercials with Beckham and Zidane. Looks like they will have licenses to all the top leagues, including women's leagues as well as the players. So the only thing they can't have ...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Something just leaves me cold about Gauff. Then she had to call out the haters after her big win, rather than being gracious. She could have saved that stuff for social media, not the post-tournament press conference. OK, maybe a reflection of her immaturity and the social media age where dunking on...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Do all of them have enough hunger? I remember Safin when he first broke through, there were stories of him and other young players racing their expensive sports cars against one another. Yes there are both financial and historical incentives to win Grand Slams but there are distractions as well, bec...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Watched the final from the front row yesterday (not sure if there's an option to upload a video or image). Awesome match from any perspective but immense at court-side level. Glad that Carlitos made a statement by beating Novak at his best (I really believe that) but Novak was very close to winning...

Re: OT: Pro Tennis Thread

Even at 20 he can't be too humble with his mental toughness. He has to have some ego to be able to take down not only maybe the greatest player of all time but several other accomplished players. He won pretty easily vs. Medvedev. Challenge for him will be how he handles the fame and of course injur...

They are holding the tournament later this year aren't they? Usually they're finished by the end of May. In any event, inevitable tha...

The Last of Us is getting a lot of hype now.

Rave reviews all around.

Made by the same guy who made Chernobyl mini series.

Re: The really great TV thread

Speaking of this topic, really enjoying Slow Horses these days.

WL was fun and The Last of Us is suppose to be a big deal. Never played the game and got fed up with The Walking Dead so not sure what to think but the guy who did Chernobyl limited series on HBO is the show runner.

Re: The really great TV thread

Really liked it, though surprising they got about 20 episodes out of it. I don't know if they plan to do a second season. Seems part of the motivation was for Reynolds to tout his liquor and some other things he's endorsing. That club reportedly draws really well now that the players got some notori...

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 22/23.

Now Reyna disputing earlier reports that he was not training hard and thus had limited playing time in the WC for the USMNT.

He claims he was told from the beginning that his role would be limited.

So a rift between Reyna and Berholter?

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 22/23.

Story out that Reyna wasn't training hard enough and that dissatisfied the coaches, may explain why he got such little playing time.

They made him apologize to the rest of the team.

Maybe he was fearing re-injury or just trying to protect himself for his league matches.

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 22/23.

Condolences on your father. Argentina survived but apparently Messi and some other Argentine players were ungraciously complaining about the referee after the match. Would have been a disaster if they lost that match up 2-0 until the 83rd minute and then giving up the equalizer in the 101st minute -...

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 22/23.

Suarez has been a great player. But he was given the chance to apologize for his hand ball in 2010 and he didn't. So probably not a lot of sympathy for him and Uruguay other than Uruguayans. Especially the way they angrily got in the faces of the refs after the match, probably for not giving them pe...

Re: The Beautiful Game, Fútbol, Calcio, Footie Season 22/23.

It makes no sense for the Qataris to hold the event. They spent billions on infrastructure, guess that could help them long term, but most of those stadiums won't be used because they won't be a power in the sport. Maybe they should have bribed some good players to emigrate to that country but the w...

So he will be remembered much more fondly than Djokovic.

Re: OT:Smart Phones

I will be but more for the camera improvements and the supposedly brighter screen.

Will see about the new notifications but blech, updated to iOS 16 and it doesn't look like an improvement.

They just made things look different for the sake of looking different.
