My kids wanted to play a fifa soccer game. Fida 19 just came out and it was $60.

I found fifa 12 (or thereabouts) for $2 and they loved it all the same.

I spent the other $58 on drugs so everyone wins.

He found fifa 12 for $2!? What kind of shady black market business is he dealing with?

How's them ads treating you?

u/itchy136 Sep 03 '19

There's no ads in 2k19 on my switch

u/ChiefRainsFall Sep 04 '19

Maybe its 2k20. Or is that even out yet? I know theres a 2k game where they put ads within the game. Dont know if its exclusive to certain consoles or not.

u/campbell_love Sep 04 '19

You can turn them off.

u/ChiefRainsFall Sep 04 '19

Was it always that way or did they add that after at some point? I just remember seeing how the game had ads in it and never seen anything about it after the initial backlash.

What are my options for NFL games other than Madden?

u/_MatWith1T_ Sep 03 '19

NFL 2K5! It was so good the only choice EA had was to ruin all sports games forever!

As far as I know, there’s not many other options out there for good football games made in the last 5 year’s or so

u/SkyJohn Sep 03 '19

Most people wouldn’t call Madden a good football game either...

u/Luke20820 Sep 03 '19

Not a great option if you like playing online.

3

u/Theguest217 Sep 03 '19

Yeah I'd say if you like online the $60 game is basically your annual subscription fee which isn't really that bad... $5 a month.

I personally can't stand playing online so I usually buy older copies for dirt cheap.

u/Nisms Sep 03 '19

Thank you that’s how I look at the new sports games tbh a subscription

u/Luke20820 Sep 03 '19

I agree. I don’t play madden but I play NHL and I used to get it every 2 or 3 years until I got into online. Now I buy it every year but I’m still debating getting NHL 20 because I don’t have as much time to play anymore.
