I'm ass- as, as I suppose going back to Ultimate Team, [laughs] which we were discussing at some point, um, you know, um, David Beckham's not still playing, so he's n- he's obviously [laughs] not in the game at the moment.

And if he's in the game, what the hell is he doing in that game? Money, but-

Well-

...

F1's done some historic mode, you could probably do the same with the footballers.

I bet he's in Ultimate Team.

They'll have found a way to do that.

Oh, this one has blown up on people's timelines.

So on the 29th of October, a clip from content creator Nick Run The Foot Market went viral with over 1.5 million views, questioning why women players are an ultimate team at all.

Let's look at what was said.

what the real world science says and what the game actually does.

right

like what that's like 10 years ago 15 came out in 2014. yeah because it's always the year after the year that's right yeah so i played people 15 in 2014 and spent a load of money on ultimate team i had a really good team by the end of the season for that version yeah and then i got the year after version and the only thing you get to keep is your team name That's it.

Yeah.

All your players that you spent all this money on, all your real money on, they're all gone.

You, you gotta, you gotta play some football." And you're like, "Okay, we'll do this." And the actual football playing, I've im- I landed last night.

[laughs] I got back to my house at, like, midnight last night, and I was so jet lagged that I played Ultimate Team till 5:00 in the morning, um, and then played a bit of The Grounds, like, after, um, I woke up later on today, and the football bit is good this year.

I'm enjoying the actual football part of it.

The Ultimate Team darkness, it's kind of always there, but the, um-

Oh, hmm.

Um, uh, the...

So there's gonna be like a basically an entire social hub where you can play with other players and compete with them.

And this is a solid upgrade for players who spend Really, who spent basically every year playing the annual football game.

It used to be FIFA.

And there are so many layers that stop me from just playing.

NFC and there's ultimate team and create, you know, take your one player.

And that is not of interest to me.

I want to pick my team in a league and go through it all.

Uh, you load up the game, typical EA, you load up the game.

D- do you wanna go into Ultimate Team? Me, no.

Immediately, what I did not like, immediately drops you into an i- in- into a, an unskippable cut scene to career mode.

So do you wanna go into, do you wanna play Ultimate Team? No.

Great.

Pick your model, pick your career model.

Then it was like, "This is your hub," and I went, "Quit.

Put me, I wanna do a play now," which is like five, uh, choices down on the menu.

What have you done?

I went to the Ultimate Team and I bought Barry Banner and Luka Topolovic immediately.

Bought Luka again.

Bought Luka again.
