Fifa players on here ?? [EA Sports are assholes] - GoFuckYourself.com

Scott McD · 03-20-2014, 09:51 AM

So yesterday i went round to a friends house to get a few beers and a shot of his PS4 and FIFA 14 in particular.

Now EA were the first people to bring out the shitty and rip off "online pass" thing with games a couple of years ago or so, and now it seems they have taken it a step further.

They now don't allow players to "guest" a game, which means 2 people in the same room can't play co-op games etc, and instead would have to be in separate houses with their own game and console, just to play in the same team against someone else online. Which for me was the best and most fun part about the game. So with the two of us sitting there, we couldn't play co-op because, well EA don't want us to.

All that stuff that X-Box One and Microsoft had to backtrack over before the console release because of the backlash, it seems EA are quietly doing all those things themselves anyway. While still racking in the sales.

There are some other idiotic changes they made to FIFA as well which just don't make any sense. When you do go online you don't even know which team the other player has went untill the game actually starts ?! Part of choosing your team is seeing who it looks like your opponent is going to go, and you try match it in relation to that. But not any more.

Thanks EA...

I think you just need your own PSN account to play. I had to make my own to play CoD online with my brother. Don't need both accounts to have playstation plus or whatever either. Only the primary account does.

Works with COD but not Fifa...

Yup that sucks. I cannot even play against my 7 year old.

Oh that is wrong i mean I cannot coop with him against grandpa elsewhere ;-)

I'm finished with FIFA, slowly but surely over the years it has been pissing me off more and more, the fact I have to get my brother to mail me the newest release, just because I generated my account in the UK but now live in Canada, is quite ridiculous. I'm going concentrate on more indy game developers on my PS4 from now on.

I'm actually put off buying any of the new-gen consoles at all now. Not saying i won't get one eventually, but for now there's just not enough to convince me to upgrade from PS3...

I still enjoy playing it though.

It's the fact they had it then removed it that sticks.

Clearly is was a feature people used and liked but they decided fuck it...
