IArsquo;m not going to ignore games I know IArsquo Fut 24 Coins ;ll like, though. My most anticipated games this year are indie RPGs Cassette Beasts and The Plucky Squire. IArsquo;ll definitely play Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom. I want to finish Dragon Age: Inquisition before Dreadwolf (although I suspect IArsquo;ll have plenty of time for that). But my goal is, instead of loading up Apex Legends or FIFA to kill an hour of my time, instead trying something new and seeing whether I like it.

If you asked me to describe the way I play FIFA, I'd say recreationally. I'd also think you were a bit of an odd bod going around asking strange questions, but my answer would be fairly simple. I don't play Ultimate Team, I only dabble in Online Seasons, and while I used to tear through Career Mode until the game was full of fake players because the real ones had all retired, these days I get bored after a season and start playing something else. But over winter, there's nothing better than jumping on for a quick game of FC 24 against the computer and running around in the snow.

I say I don't play Ultimate Team, but that's an understatement. I've never understood Ultimate Team. In the very first year it launched, I used the dongle trick for free packs (ask you parents, kids), and only avoided a ban because I sold all my cards to buy my ideal team on the marketplace rather than pulling packs for hours on end like everyone else did. The injuries, the fatigue, the contract and fitness cards, and the fact it all starts over again no matter how many hours you sink in just makes it feel a bit pointless. Why spend 50 hours of my life trying to get Mbappe when I can just play as PSG in any other game mode right now?

The regular online matches are more my speed, but the beast is eating itself. A few years ago I was great at FIFA, getting myself into the third or fourth division and feeling pretty happy with myself. But now I play less, so I'm worse, meaning I lose more, meaning I play less, so I'm worse, meaning I lose more. I'm languishing in the seventh division and I'm more likely to be Buy FC 24 Coins  relegated than promoted. As for Career Mode, it's a mixture of the lack of any real upgrade outside of the aesthetics and a general roster upgrade each year that have left it stale.
