Has anyone else tried the Squad Building Challenges yet? You can get some decent players by trading in your club fodder. For example...

Slovakia.

If anyone's around during Friday daytime (a little more hopeful given it's half term in the UK), I could play then. Plus it's my 30th birthday an' all... 

Race to Division 1 tomorrow from midday?

Everybody knows it should be these beauties...

Not too shabby...

This is relevant to my interests.

It's definitely in as some people have received invitations for beta testing for that mode (as well as Career and UT). Any more than that is just speculation at the moment.

Stevie got broken:

Interstellar. much wow, very 2001

Came here to say this, basically. More than a few nods to 2001 but still excellent in its own right.

Colorado Rapids 3-1 FC Dallas

Brown x2, Torres

Started this one terribly and Thrilla was deservedly ahead in the first half, even if it was with the help of some guff keeping by Irwin. The crucial moment in the game when at 2-1 up, he had a series of dangerous free kicks, the last of which hit the post. I then went up the other end and scored...

FC Dallas 0-1 Colorado Rapids

Eloundou

An even contest throughout the match. Both of us hit the woodwork on more than one occasion. Again, I profited on the counter-attack and I probably would've gone mental like he said he did to concede in the last minute thanks to a mixture of some static defending and fresh legs up front.

It is I.

Sure thing. I was just about to ask if anyone else wanted to play against me in the Eastern Conference.

The Rapids are going to win early.

It sounds a bit brainless. At this stage I'd say the majority of people are still more comfortable with having a physical copy of a game rather than a digital download and that's not likely to change if the prices remain higher in the PS Store than every website, supermarket and shop.

It makes business sense for Sony not to offer their full price digital games at the same level as physical copies for a few reasons; one is because they (and whoever publishes/develops the games on the store) will get a larger share of the sale value as there are fewer channels to go through digitally. On the flip side of that, because the prices are higher, they don't piss off internet and bricks and mortar stores by undercutting them, so there is a good balance at the moment. Once titles have been out a while, they can then drop the prices on most titles in line with their physical counterparts (or even more so if there isn't much mileage in them). A good example would be the current offer on the UK store for Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes.

Does anyone know if you'll be able to pre-load the digital version yet?

I'm in.

I hope Alien Isolation is good, but I have concerns because it's an Alien game, and it's made by Sega. Certainly looks good, but I feel like even if it's fantastic there won't be enough to it to merit $60.

It was better than I thought it would be when I played it at EGX - it had a good atmosphere, an authentic soundtrack and it made me jump once.

Are any of your accomplishments/matches played saving now?

I think I've added everyone's Friend Codes on this thread since the game came out, so hopefully it will give me access to a few more Friend Safari areas!

Has anyone encountered any shiny Pokémon in their own game (i.e. not through trading)?
