Oh, Wordle, Wordle, Wordle. For the longest time I have been making jokes of Americans spelling or pronouncing things wrong… Until not very long ago, when one Wordle answer was ‘Humor’ and not ‘Humour’! Pack up your dictionaries lads, may as well admit defeat while the rest of the world is too busy poking fun at Fox News, or Florida Men, or supersized burgers, or whatever other shenanigan of the week takes attention from the state of things in the ol’ red-white-and-blue… Oh wait, they took that one? The French too? F**** it, WE’RE DOING IT LIVE!

Wordle Royale? Well, yes, but actually no. From the success of Wordle, a surprising number of imitators have put strangely unique spins on the gameplay loop, which quite a twist considering the usual gaming pipeline of “popular good and unique, to popular and good, to… popular”.

I swear Mr Ego, these new Wordles have unique themed versions, like with swears, geography, dungeon-crawling stuff, and-

That brings us to today’s topic of conversation, Squabble, which is essentially a competitive multiplayer version, including staples of stereotypical multiplayer and royale shooters like hit points, kill cams, and the sweet orgasmic bliss achieved from the thought of coming out on top against the odds of your competition… No pun intended, for once.

Your hit points essentially work like in-game health, which gets reduced with every wrong guess and healed with every correct letter you find. And if you thought things were stressful enough before, the battle royale mode also means you take damage if you take too long to think!

I’ve joked before of Wordle being the perfect game for grammar nazis, but this is basically Hunger Games-level tension WITH WORDS!

Besides the 6-99 player large royale modes with a ‘last man standing’ win condition, you can also set up smaller 2-5 player rooms with your friends.

NFTs (None Fungible Token) are a unique non-interchangeable units of data stored on a blockchain (a form of digital ledger), which effectively allow users to own, buy and sell digital goods such as in-game items or artwork.

During EA’s third quarter earnings call on Tuesday, Andrew Wilson, CEO of Electronic Arts (EA) acknowledged that NFTs are currently driving a lot of outside investment in the games industry. However, he compared the current rise of NFTs and investments to previous investments for 3D AR and VR in the video game industry.

Andrew Wilson during EA’s third quarter earnings call;

“The way I look at this is, collectabilty is really built on four key metrics,”. “That’s around high-quality content, it’s around scarcity, it’s around proof of authenticity, and it’s around a group of people that find value in that content.

“We’ve seen that happen in the real world and we’ve seen that happen in the virtual world with certain things that happened in and around our games for some number of years.

“And I believe that collectability will continue to be an important part of our industry and the games and the experiences that we offer our players.

“Whether that’s part of NFTs and the blockchain, well that remains to be seen. And I think the way we think about it is, we want to deliver the best possible player experience we can. And so, we’ll evaluate that over time, but right now it’s not something that we’re driving hard against.”

Andrew Wilson also said this during the second earnings call back in November;

“The play to earn or the NFT conversation is still really, really early”, before adding: “I do think it will be an important part of our – of the future of our industry on a go-forward basis.”

Since the earning calls, a few notable gaming companies have started selling NFTs, companies like Konami and Ubisoft, while Square Enix merely expressed interest in the whole NFT universe. With that being said, these companies have come under fire for producing or even expressing interest in these NFTs due to the NFT format’s high carbon footprint and what many perceive to be cynical implementation.

Earlier on Tuesday, the publishers behind Worms, TeamU17 decided to pass on entering the NFT space because of the backlash from its business partners and fans. Other companies have shown more Resistance to the backlash of game companies dipping their hands into the NFT space, going as far one Ubisoft executive recently claiming players just “don’t get it”

Andrew Wilson also addressed  Battlefield 2042’s disappointing launch day during the earning’s call on tuesday, saying He backed developer DICE to turn things around and claimed to believe the game “Will do well over the course of time”.

Are you one of the FIFA players right now desperately wanting Tahith Chongs 87 rated card? I think that’s pretty much everyone, isn’t it? Every United and Birmingham fan that is. EA Sports have added an 87-rated Squad Foundations version of the Birmingham City midfielder on FIFA 22 today, and we’re going to tell you how to get him.

Firstly, lets just go through some quick details. Tahith Chong is a Dutch professional footballer who plays as a winger for Birmingham City, on loan from Premier League club Manchester United. He joined the Manchester United Academy aged 16 after a stint through the Feyenoord youth system. During his time at United, he won the Jimmy Murphy Young Player Of The Year award and since then has been closely watched as one of the clubs most promising youngsters. Birmingham City managed to get hold of his contract on loan this season.

Secondly, it is important to note that this is Chongs first special card in FIFA 22 Ultimate Team. As such, hes been granted a the Squad Foundations card which helps players strengthen their teams by filling in key positional gaps across different leagues. He’s a part of the third batch of Squad Foundations items.

Here’s a quick Youtube video reviewing the new card. Clearly, it’s safe to say he doesn’t disappoint.

Cheapest FIFA Team To Unlock Chong

This seems like its going to be another classic FIFA card that everyone is going to be using in the coming months. Another Fekir, if you will. There seems to be plenty of these coming onto our screens recently. Personally, I don’t know how I’m going to cope.

EA have graciously improved all of Chong’s skills, including Shooting (+22), Passing (+21), Dribbling (+21). Not only this, but his defensive attributes have improved too, with  Defending (+16), Physical (+16), and Pace (+13). Additionally, you can use the marksman chemistry style to further booster these stats even more.

Comparatively, well his original 68-rated silver version is just not even in the same competition. However, EA decide that is where his improvements must stop. Thankfully, he still has four-star skill moves and weak foot, otherwise we’d all be in for some troubling games against him. This is why you must follow our advice here to make sure you have him in your FUT too.

Despite this, you’re going to have to make sure you have the funds for it. The SBC costs approximately 88,200 FUT coins on PlayStation, 101,1000 on Xbox, and 99,900 on PC. Luckily, you have plenty of time to raise funds, with the chance to get Chong ending on Jan.20.

The requirements for the SBC are as followed:

• 85-rated squad
• Minimum 60 chemistry
• One TOTW card
• One Netherlands player

Here’s the cheapest solution to complete the Squad Foundations Chong SBC right now, according to FUTBIN, a website that specializes in FIFA content:

• GK: Péter Gulácsi 85-rated (RB Leipzig)
• LB: Raphaël Guerreiro 84-rated (Borussia Dortmund)
• CB: Mats Hummels 86-rated (Borussia Dortmund)
• CB: Harry Maguire 84-rated (Manchester City)
• RB: TOTW César Azpilicueta 85-rated (Chelsea)

The post FIFA 22 Update 2 Patch Notes first appeared on Get2Gaming.

FIFA and EA Sports’ reported split suggests FIFA is up for development by another developer.

Electronic Arts and FIFA, the organisation has been in partnership for over thirty years becoming one of the most successful and highly grossing franchises in the gaming world. FIFA has been the biggest association football game for many consecutive years with Electronic Arts even claiming FIFA to be the best-selling game series in the world with over 200 million players. But with recent reports insinuating a possible break-up between the partnership, FIFA look for other pathways for their football gaming series.

Reports started weeks ago with EA claiming they were “exploring ideas” on changing the FIFA title. Many thought this could be just another rumour but when it was confirmed that EA filed trademark for “EA Sports FC”, the FIFA community began believing the split between EA and FIFA was inevitable.

Executives reporting the reasoning for the break down in the deal being because of the organisation, FIFA’s asking price for the licensing of their name, asking for 1 billion every 4 years. EA Sports not being happy with this then started looking at ways around this.

Later, FIFA then released a statement addressing the rumours and having their say on EA’s total power with the franchise, FIFA. They extend and go into detail about the future of FIFA sounding quite positive on the direction it is going in despite the fact the partnership with EA made the game into what it is today; one of the biggest game franchises. They also spoke about engaging in talks with “developers, investors, and analysts” on the future of FIFA. Lastly, adding their idea on expanding their audience and competition with the addition of live competitive gaming; mostly including the FIFA World Cup with it also said that EA Sport and FIFA will take a break just before the FIFA World Cup begins.

FIFA 22 was released October 1^st on all platforms giving off a very good and interesting first impression. Many of the FIFA community being happy and satisfied with the work done by EA. EA Sports recently launched an update to the game, adjusting and mending bugs that were in place following release. The update including patches to the goalkeepers that were said to be too “OP” decreasing the probability of saves inside the penalty area. Also adding minor adjustments to the HyperMotion increasing the game response time. This update getting positive feedback but with more updating needed, EA Sports are sure to be on the case.

FIFA 22 is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PC and Stadia.

The post Other Game Developers to Develop FIFA games? first appeared on Get2Gaming.

FIFA, the International Federation of Association Football reportedly wants $1 billion every 4 years from Electronic Arts for the use of the FIFA title on their football game series.

Electronic Arts’ FIFA franchise is one of the most anticipated annual releases every year with FIFA 22 having much success thus far. FIFA 22 was released October 1^st with many of the FIFA community speculating it may be the last FIFA title as conflict between Electronic Arts and the International Federation of Association Football continues to unfold.

Electronic Arts and FIFA have been in partnership for near to 30 years with their first release being FIFA International Soccer in 1993. Although they have been in partnership for such a while, rumours of recent have suggested this partnership may come to an end. EA Sports have reported been “exploring ideas” on changing the name of their football franchise for good and with this news coming out, we have many reasons to believe this row is very much money related.

With FIFA being one of Electronic Arts’ best-selling franchises for many years with the game yearly overshadowing every other football associated release. FIFA has been highly profitable for EA Sports with not just sales but also with popular game mode, FIFA Ultimate Team, having cunning microtransactions that millions of players spend money daily. Streamers and Youtubers that are held in high regard spend tons of money on FUT Points which helps to better their game, attracting fans that add money to their pockets which come all the way back around to adding loads of money into Electronic Arts’ safe. This cycle being what brings in most of the revenue in for EA.

EA recently trademark filing suggests that the title FIFA may be changed to EA Sports FC for the next titles. An EA Sports executive, Cam Weber has expressed that talks between EA Sports and FIFA have stalled insinuating that these rumours may be true. He also suggests there may be a break in partnership between EA Sports and FIFA following the Qatar 2022 World Cup. This also confirms the asking of $1 billion every 4 years from FIFA to EA Sports.

A new report in the @nytimes states that the dispute between EA and FIFA is related to cost and new revenue streams

FIFA 22 has brought much success with its early October release. With many new things added onto this years’ game. Fans have mostly been impressed by the addition of HyperMotion Technology which brings more realistic gameplay. Pro Clubs, second most popular game mode after FUT (FIFA Ultimate Team) has been much improved also, adding a whole different dynamic to making a player; adding new archetypes and perks. Even bigger, adding the edit enabling players to create female players, bridging the gender gap in Pro Clubs. Fans have also been impressed with the improvements made to Volta, allowing it to be more of a party, enjoyable game mode. Giving fans a real feel of the old FIFA Street game series. Many more improvements and developments have been made to FIFA 22 with many describing it as the “ultimate football game”.

FIFA 22 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.

The post FIFA demand $1 Billion every 4 years from EA for their title first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Electronic Arts have a “renewed long term” agreement with football players’ union Fifpro allowing thousands of players’ likeness and names to be used in their football game series.

This is great news for the FIFA community as one of the main reasons for FIFA’s success in popularity and preference is because of the authenticity and licenses they possess over their football series competitors. This long-term partnership allows players of the game to continue playing with their favourite football stars, mimicking them from action to action.

Electronic Arts have always prioritised licences for its FIFA games, stating “We focus so much energy on the collective strength of over 300 individual licensed partners that give us access to 17,000+ athletes across 700+ teams, in 100 stadiums and over 30 leagues around the world.” Adding “We continually invest in the partnerships and licenses that are most meaningful to players, and because of that, our game is the only place you can authentically play in the iconic UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, CONMEBOL Libertadores, Premier League, Bundesliga, and LaLiga Santander, among many others.” This all previously being said in a press release with a publisher referring to a change in the FIFA title.

Recently this month, EA have been looking for options to stamp their name on the forefront of their football game series, disbanding the famous title, FIFA, stating it was “exploring the idea”. Also stating more on the exclusion of FIFA, the football organisation, stating “As we look ahead, we’re also exploring the idea of renaming our global EA Sports football games. This means we’re reviewing our naming rights agreement with FIFA, which is separate from all our other official partnerships and licenses across the football world.” Electronic Arts recently also filing trademark applications for the name “EA Sports FC” which imaginably could be in place for “FIFA” as the new name for the large franchise.

So, with this long-term agreement being in place, it could be only a matter of time before we see a change in the Electronic Arts football game series. Being seen that if EA were to cut complete ties with FIFA, the licenses, partnerships and rights will still be in their control as they are not in connection to the Electronic Arts and FIFA’s agreement. FIFA 22 being the latest game released within their agreement, it could very well be the last with nothing being confirmed until announced by EA.

FIFA 22 has gotten very high praises from the FIFA community with their new introduction to HyperMotion, making the game more realistic than it has ever been. Giving the fans the feel and experience they have always cried for. FIFA 22 released October 1^st had an amazing opening week with Electronic Arts looking forward to many more amazing weeks to come.

FIFA 22 is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch platforms.

The post EA ties down footballers’ likeness deal as the FIFA name is still in doubt first appeared on Get2Gaming.

FIFA, described as the international governing body of association football is one of the biggest sports associations around and has been the face of Electronic Arts‘ football gaming series for over 20 years being second fiddle behind eFootball, formerly known as Pro Evolution Soccer for some of its time but for the last 10 plus years, overtaking and being the biggest football gaming firm around. With the large amount of licensing they have, from players to clubs to leagues to famous brands and many more. It makes the game stand out most opposed to any other football game.

source: FIFA 22

Electronic Arts have carried their football game series with the FIFA title for a long while but may be considering a change to that as they state they are “reviewing our naming rights agreement with FIFA, which is separate from all our other official partnerships and licenses across the football world.” Meaning a title change could very much be possible if the contract they, Electronic Arts & FIFA, hold together makes that possible. Now with the title FIFA carrying so much weight and being held at such high regard, it is strange to hear of this, especially with it being so sudden and at a press release.

EA is 'exploring the idea of renaming' FIFA videogame. They pay a fortune to FIFA in order to use their name. The license was renewed in May 2013 and it's valid until the end of 2022. Curious timing for this statement. Bluff or are they introducing the changes to the community? pic.twitter.com/KEdEZrF5QT

FIFA 22 released October 1^st has received positive reviews with the release becoming record breaking. Many of the FIFA community are taking it in and welcoming it as “very realistic” and the “best FIFA yet”. With the many additional features added, they have managed to widen the audience even more, making it the undisputed go-to football game with no other competitor even within reach. Despite the possible name change, we don’t feel it will have any effect on the gameplay. Nor will it have any effect on the number of players and football fans they rake in yearly.

FIFA 22 is out now and available to play on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Stadia. The official trailer, released late July, revealed many new features that add a more realistic feel to the game, bringing real life football and virtual football closer. Filling all the gaps the FIFA community have complained about for years, making FIFA 22 the ultimate football game.

The post Could FIFA 22 be the last FIFA title? first appeared on Get2Gaming.

EA has announced they are considering a new name for their franchise.

The news comes at an interesting time, with rival Konami’s rebranded eFootball 2022 launching a mere few days ago to a catastrophic reception.

EA’s statement came as part of a press release celebrating FIFA 22’s opening weekend, tallying 9.1 million players, 7.6 million Ultimate Team squads and 460 million matches.

“While we are only at the beginning of our journey with you in this year’s game, we’re also focused on where we go from here,” wrote EA Sports GM Cam Weber.

“We’re here to create the best experiences for football fans everywhere… As we look ahead, we’re also exploring the idea of renaming our global EA Sports football games. This means we’re reviewing our naming rights agreement with FIFA, which is separate from all our other official partnerships and licenses across the football world.”

FIFA stands for Fédération Internationale de Football Association and is the worldwide governing football body.

The move would be even more shocking than Konami’s eFootball rebrand – after all, PES itself was pre-dated by the International Superstar Soccer name. In contrast, EA’s football series has been released under the FIFA banner since its 1993 inception on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive.

The timing is curious too. In 2013, EA signed a deal with FIFA, which ends in 2022 – covering management games in addition to its annual football sim. By going public in the above manner, EA could be preparing the buying masses for FIFA 23 to emerge under a new name, or it may be hoping the threat of losing the series drives down the asking price of re-upping the worldwide license.

The FIFA contract doesn’t affect individual deals, such as tie-ins with UEFA, the Premier League, and Serie A. Therefore, all those competitions will remain in FIFA 23, EA Sports Football 23, or whatever else the next instalment is called.

For future updates, watch this space.

The best-selling football game is getting significant changes to its career mode

FIFA 22 will be receiving new features to its career mode, according to its senior game designer Alex Constantinescu, who goes into detail about all the changes on the official FIFA 22 website in the latest Pitch Notes blog.

FIFA 22 is the forthcoming instalment for the popular football game franchise developed by EA that is expected to drop on October 1.

FIFA 22 Career Mode

The long-overdue revamp consists of many updates, however, the most notable ability is players being able to make their own team completely from scratch in Manager Career mode. Players can choose the club’s name, commentary name, league, rival team, as well as customise their team’s kit, crest, and stadium.

The customisation of the stadium works in similar ways to FIFA Ultimate Team where players can choose the base colour, seat colour, pitch pattern, net shape, goal songs, crowd chants, and walkout anthems.

Players creating their own club can also auto-generate their starting players, choosing their average star rating and average age, as well as their starting transfer budget and their board’s priorities.

Other improvements include: players can now come on from the bench instead of going from playing no matches to full matches; your manager will give you match objectives and their rating for you will increase if you continue to meet them, and as players level up they can also unlock new perks and can equip up to three in a match which includes improved first-time shot ability, increased dribbling abilities and better physical strength.

Additionally, in both Manager and Career mode, the top-rated or longest-serving players in a team can end up being celebrated by fans with custom tifo displays. This includes generated ones too.

FIFA 22 will be available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Stadia.
