Is the game worth picking up if you aren't really bothered about the Teams stuff? Like, is the actual 'just playing the game' fun enough?

Yes. FUT is okay to play and career mode can be a blast. Even the odd game with the AI in Exhibition play is decent enough. 

Could we say game of the year regardless of what year the game was released in?! As it's what our personal choice game of the year was that we enjoyed. 

I will have to think on mine as played a lot this year. 

Sad to hear. One of the sport's greatest of his generation. Shame I never experienced his greatness. Have seen a lot of his goals and always enjoyed the way he played. 

Also let us not forget his best goal. 

Well done Ruki. That is a very impressive list of game's. Hope you had a lot of fun playing them. 

I'm either going to be starting Elden Ring or the Yakuza series very soon. Decent sale on them so was able to pick them up. 

Well Sunderland came down in October and Blackburn won. Blackburn travelled to Sunderland and lost. Being both a Rover's and Sunderland fan I will take that. 

Well that was not fun. 

Well done to Forest.

This is absurd. I just got Icon Raul off a gold playoff pack.

You must be on the red list.

Liverpool vs. City will surely be televised too.

Just checked and it is. Missed it when looking the first time at the list. Thank you Lineker.

Are the cup matches not televised anymore?! Was looking to see what game's would be on. The only televised game is Manchester United V Burnley on Wednesday.  Sky Sports have picked that one up. 

When I checked the Blackburn Rovers app I think I can only listen to the audio of the game tomorrow with Nottingham Forest. Would have been interested in watching it if the app would have let me. I don't think Rovers will win. But Forest could be a little rusty and not put out a full strength squad.

I've been playing No Man's Sky when I get the opportunity. It's a pretty relaxing game, you can just toddle around the galaxy of you want, scanning animals and being insulted by the Vy'Keen.

From the very little I played of that game. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and like you said about just flying around. I will possibly look further into it if I get a chance. I don't mind a space exploration game. Elite Dangerous does remind me a little of No Man's Sky when I checked that out. Think it has some nice chilled out music if I remember about it does No Man's Sky. It could be a good game just to relax with. So might do that with it. Glad you are enjoying pottering around the galaxy of the game.

They've definitely had some challenging encounters so far. I'm actually a little surprised that no one has died yet! 

I think you only die if @Rukon Corneliusis the DM!! He does love to kill off character's. He's is known as the George R.R Martin of D&D. 

Not much has changed. I'm not worried about losing Kane or Trent and Pickford. Have the Gold Rare for them.

If anyone is on the PS4 and ever fancies a few game's together let me know. I will add you or I could just post my ID.

I find it harder to go back and continue games I've left sitting there for 2 years, hence why I'll be restarting it on PC soon.

This is the same problem for myself. If I do revisit a game then I will start a new one if I'm not too far into it. But agree that open world and story game's are difficult to drop in and out of. As you said FIFA is fine for me to drop in and out of as it is always the same. Can figure out quickly where I was. 

Think like you I have those moment's where my interest in gaming either wanes or playing more casually is what is called for at the time. But then again sometimes I have an urge to play a certain type of video game genre or something will inspire me to look back at a game. 

Definitely too many game's to play. 

I love a role-playing game. But that can be also difficult as more often than not i will restart after a quick test to understand the World better. Can never figure out what kind of character I want to be. 

Enjoy Day's Gone if you restart it on the PC. It's not a bad game at all and the story is very satisfying in a way. 

Now. I shall sit and think of what I want to play. No clue at all. Once I found an old bingo machine and gave the game's number's so that it would pick it for me. That was fun. It picked Sleeping Dog's then Saint's Row 3 and followed up with Skyrim. 

Really can't decide what game I fancy playing next or what takes my fancy from my collection. It's overwhelming sometimes and very annoying. Have a load of good game's I could be playing. 

Mainly It's been FIFA. The Division, Jurrasic World Evolution and Watch Dog's Legion. Dying Light 2. (Not started it yet.)

Most notable on the list that I own and could be playing are.

Cyberpunk. Dark Souls series. Dead Rising 4. Deus Ex series. Dishonored 1 and 2. Empire of Sun. Elite Dangerous. Fallout 76. Far Cry 5 + New Dawn. Ghost of Tsushima. God of War. Hitman series. Horizon Zero Dawn  Judgement. Just Cause 3 and 4. Kerbal Space. Lords of The Fallen. Mafia 1-3. Spiderman. Monster Hunter. Nioh 1 and 2. No Man's Sky. Pathfinder. Payday 2. Rage 2. Red Dead Redemption 2. Sekiro. Star Wars Fallen Jedi. The Surge 1 and 2. A lot of Tom Clancy's Games. Wasteland 3. Yakuza Series. 

You'd think out of all them I would be able to at least decide on a game that takes my fancy. Yet. I don't know what kind of game I want to play.

I still enjoy gaming. But I think it can be taxing for my fibromyalgia, and I get confused a lot with brain fog and general mental health issues. Just gaming was always something that I enjoyed. It was an escape. I know I want to play game's. But I don't always play for long now.

FIFA 23 is literally the only game I play weekly and suck hour's into on FUT and Career Mode. I enjoy that side of gaming at building up a team or squad with improvements. 

Meanwhile in France.

Hugo Lloris is really, really bad at penalties.

Fairness to Lloris he could be suffering with whatever virus was going on. He hasn't looked great all game. Maybe that was the colour of my TV.

But considering they've had a virus in their camp France should be proud of their efforts in the final. Even if we love to have a farmer's laugh at them.

Happy for Messi. Good way to bow out of international duty if this was his last game. 

Both team's played at their best level. Can not complain about the game at all. Better than expected. 

Well done Argentina. 

Fantastic final.

Tbf it wasn't Mbappes fault Kane missed. He's not going to be upset over it is he.

No it is not. That is down to Kane. In football I think we all have instances of something a player can do during a game that can personally annoy us. That was mine.  You'll possibly have a similar memory maybe of something or most of us might do of a game or player. 

Fantastic final.

Why is it karma?

Harry Kane missed penalty and the scenes after?! But he scored did Mbappe. I was just waiting for Messi to laugh in his face to be fair. 

3-3. A great final just a shame it's in Qatar. 

This is turning into a great game. Although if Mbappe misses karma. 

I'm just glad I also got to watch this here with you all again.  Enjoy watching along with people on EWB. It always sparks good discussions, information and history. So I'm always learning about the game. Also which player's and national team's are on the bad list. 

Most fun final for me since 98 I think. 

That's definitely onside. Prefer an Argentina win anyway. 

If this is Messi at his last World Cup. Glad I watched it and to see how good he is. Not had chance to watch a lot of Messi. 

I thought that was in.
