**This Week on Pure Dead Gaming** Andy is now at the stage where he opens his dashboard, sees a game installed, and has absolutely no memory of where it came from. Meanwhile, Craig spends the week…
Aye, hey, look, I'm telling you, you've got it stuck in your
cock.
No, I've not played it much.
I've played a wee bit.
It does seem slower paced.
Yeah, yeah.
Which I do enjoy as well, the authentic version.
But it's hard because I was...
I'm like you I used to play it all the time it would be the game that was always kind of I know it's digital now but let's just it was the game that was always in
the
console and then what I would do is I would take it out and then play like a story game for a wee while yeah you
play it alongside something
exactly then I would go back to playing football I was like that for ages I really enjoyed it that was the same And then for some reason, like, you know, I've stopped watching football as much.
I just don't really follow it as much anymore.
And I think that's taken a hit on playing it as well.
So I didn't buy the last two, I don't think, now.
And because of that, like, I still know the buttons.
But I really knew the buttons before.
You know what I mean? I knew how to do all the driven passes and all the cool wee, all the stuff that actually helped.
and because I've forgotten all that it's frustrating me when I play it almost because I need to kind of go through all that again and learn all that stuff so
that's sort of what I'm having to do because I'll play it for a bit usually for review each year and then I'll bounce back to PES and PES in terms of controls a lot of that stuff is contextual right so it's not like you hold a certain button to do a certain move but it's like if you do something in the right context if your player's good enough they will pull it off so it's still skill based because it's not just they do it for you they do sort of do it for you but you have to be in the right moment to do it okay so it's just a different way of timing stuff um so each year it feels like i'm sort of fucking learning it again and that's sort of where i am just now like i'm just sort of getting back into the kind of driven passes and stuff like that and like i'm having a bit of a nightmare with the the free kicks and the corners and stuff like that like I'm just not I don't know I need to I probably need to go into like training mode or something like that and just start pinging them about because I don't know see that whole thing you've got to like aim the ball and then you've got to aim like you've got to put curve on it almost feels like you're fucking setting up a golf swing Do you know what I mean? But I just, I cannae, I'm not used to, like, seeing Pez, I'm like, right, you're about 60% of the power bar, roughly, and if I hold down and left, that's enough curve if your guy's got over 80 curve or whatever.
But I don't have that with FIFA.
um but um i'm really i'm really enjoying it like i say the only still thing that's bugging me the slower gameplay is really good everything like that the stuff that's just bugging me it's the off the ball stuff like i keep and maybe other people don't get this i don't know if it's just the way i'm playing it wrong or something like that but like sometimes like you'll play a pass to like a player and instead of them just fucking standing there and receiving it like somebody would receive a pass sometimes they like turn away and start running and then they're looking over their shoulder as the pass is coming and then they have to almost collect the pass backwards and i'm like what you doing that looks awful
there is a button you hold down that if you want when you pass it will trigger them to run i
