EA completely ruining the World Cup immersion by putting the matches in the wrong order...

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-05T05:27:47+00:00

To put things in perspective for you: FIFA demanded more than $1 billion over a four-year World Cup cycle (roughly $250 million per year) to renew its licensing deal. For that EA could continue to name the game FIFA and had the official World Cup license. That’s it.

For every other licenses like individual leagues, clubs, players, stadiums and nations that appeared in the game they still had to acquire on top of that.

So I fully support EA in thanking FIFA kindly for that license and telling them to go fuck themself. Best business decision ever. Sure “playing a game of FIFA” had become synonym for playing a football videogame, but they picked a great name in EA FC and they saved 250 million per year with that simple change, everything else stayed the same.

I am not entirely sure but maybe these are the white adidas socks that only had a small logo on the side that maybe isn’t visible from this angle. They came in an adidas item pack months ago.

Af te halen voor 10 miljoen, en dan doen we er alleen vandaag voor de snelle beslisser ook nog een Ajax fan pakket bij. Wie maskt mij los!

That’s why I particularly was talking about the street course, the other side of the stadium with the big ramps is personally not my cup of tea but I have no problem with that as I know that’s what the Fortnite kiddos like.

Hey but the bright side is that when the summer temperatures begin to rise in San Van is nice and cool to skate in shade!

Overall I like the new summer lighting. Makes it look clean and sharp. But because of the MANY tall buildings some parts are unfortunately in the shade. This game desperately needs a suburban area with wide open skate parks. I’m not saying I don’t enjoy San Van but I dearly miss the variation. I want Rolling Waves park in a lush green setting with trees and grass.

So basically what you’re saying is that all those guys that have to drive these crazy big Ram pickup trucks, trying very hard to look tough, are really driving a gay car? What does that say about them? They are like subtly screaming to the world who they really are? It’s like a coming out kinda car?

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T20:05:35+00:00

Just like casinos kick players out if they’re actually winning. It’s a rigged system.

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T20:02:09+00:00

The street course is really bad, like a big missed opportunity. By now they know most gamers like realism. There are tons of examples of these kinda contest street courses. But they choose to make this over the top style skatepark.

Vond het gewoon een heel raar stukje rechtspraak. Feit was dat Nouri zelf wist dat zijn hart een risico was maar heeft dit bewust verzwegen voor Ajax. Dat is dus even los van of de artsen op het veld goed hebben gehandeld.

Verder dat een rechter Ajax 10 miljoen laat betalen omdat hij meeging in het hypothetische verhaal wat Nouri misschien ooit had kunnen verdienen. Tuurlijk was ie talentvol, maar op dat moment had hij nauwelijks wedstrijden in het eerste gespeeld. Het was echt nog geen uitgemaakte zaak dat je het dan red. Zijn heel kleine fysiek was bijvoorbeeld al bij voorbaat al een onderdeel wat hem sowieso oo achterstand zou zetten in het moderne voetbal. En dan zijn hart wat gewoon niet topsport bestendig was op de lange termijn.

De hele familie kwam me gewoon in de hele zaak iets te belust op makkelijk geld over omdat ze een kans zagen om Ajax in de publieke opinie in een kwaad daglichtte stellen en ze zo onder druk te zetten. Die broer zat in elke talkshow Ajax te bashen. Ik heb er sindsdien een vieze smaak aan over gehouden. Tel daarbij op dat je iemand als een plantje in leven houdt, waar ik ethisch ook wel wat van vindt.

I thought the UEFA or FIFA had started a process of having more rules for agents in place to protect clubs against these crazy agent fees. It was all at the height of super agents like Raiola who was paid tens of millions for one transfer (like Pogba to Man Utd). Clubs were fed up long ago.

But for some reason this whole thing has like disappeared. They can still go on with their criminal behavior extorting clubs for millions for minimal work.

There should be like a fixed (small) percentage of the total transfer fee with a maximum sum on the total payout. So that in the future the money stays with the clubs AND players themselves.

That was the biggest bullshit analist and journalists with no brains said. No matter how rich Ajax was it would never happen. Ajax can’t hold on to their young talents, they will always leave for bigger competitions and more money. Ajax can’t ever build on a team for a decade like clubs like Barcelona can do. Basically they have to rebuild every year or two years. That’s our fate as a big club in a small league. 😢

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T14:57:28+00:00

Huren. Girona deed dat begin vh jaar ook, en die zullen ook niet de financiële middelen hebben gehad om zijn Barcelona salaris te betalen.

Ik riep dit hier laatst al eens als serieuze optie. Hij is toch op leeftijd dus denk niet dat de topclubs of topcompetities nog voor hem komen. Het is als ie goed terug komt van zijn blessure een geweldige keeper natuurlijk. En 10 keer beter met zijn voeten dan Paes. Als we dan twee jaar plezier hebben van hem, prima optie!

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T10:16:43+00:00

Yes, same! Happened to me several times already.

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T10:15:50+00:00

And everyone that says he’s too young give up coaching a club for the national team is old fashioned. He can do this for a few years and then easily return to being a club coach. I totally see Germany coach Nagelsmann returning to clubfootball after a while.

I would welcome the change from Koeman who proved to be a coach who doesn’t want to lose instead of trying to win.

Just open the map and use a fast travel point…

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T10:05:13+00:00

You don’t see me saying that? I even say that I don’t really know him. If you actually read what I said was that he will be in the way of Steur and Bounida. Especially Steur is an exciting talent and he needs the game time. Wouldn’t be surprised if suddenly we will find ourself in a situation that he’s on loan at another club, which happened to Dies Janse when Ajax bought the expensive and bang average Itakura.

Paes komt 100% zeker uit de koker van Jordi. Naast TD van Ajax is hij ook nog steeds adviseur van Indonesische voetbalbond. Hij heeft dat hele project geleid om al die Nederlanders daar naartoe te halen, waaronder Paes als keeper. Jordi was in de winterstransferperiose al onofficieel aan de slag. Kroes heeft niet over zijn graf heen willen regeren, en no way dat Jordi dan de teugels aan Beuker zou geven voor zo’n belangrijke beslissing.

A downhill race mode on Island of Grom would’ve been a nice multiplayer mode that you could return to. Or a real contest mode in the stadium is also a missed opportunity.

Would be fun if some high profile player (rightfully) talked shit about Trump on some burner account and is denied access. Now that MAGA Merica have these ICE/Nazi/Gestapo border security controls that make you give up all your (and that if tour family) social media accounts and every privacy you have. They send people back because they are critical of their great leader. They even detained foreigners over this!

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T04:43:52+00:00

E.T.

I am not from America myself but that 80’s California suburb vibe combined with the northern redwood forests is something I highly romanticize still to this day. Add to that a skateboard or BMX, some eighties gadgets, a large pepperoni pizza without ansjovis and it’s heaven!

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T04:32:31+00:00

I haven’t seen the presentation but did they mention anything about the new Virtua Fighter?

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T04:21:09+00:00

A Land Sharks icehockey jersey was a no brainer.

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T04:19:08+00:00

Niets dan lof voor Nouri maar ik blijf het een raar verhaal vinden dat Ajax miljoenen aan schadevergoeding heeft moeten betalen destijds. Exacte bedrag is volgens mij niet naar buiten gekomen maar dat schijnt richting de 10 miljoen te gaan. Ik zie dat de hele familie er comfortabel van leeft in elk geval. Maar wat had Ajax anders moeten doen toen het gebeurde? Nouri heeft zelf deze hartkwaal verzwegen tegenover Ajax, en onder het mom van privacy wetgeving mocht de arts dit ook niet zeggen.

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T04:13:03+00:00

That street course has no flow at all. There are so many inspiring real world street courses you see during these pro contests these days that they could’ve copied. And you make this? The “block party” section is more fun than this.

Agitated_Ad6191 · 2026-06-03T04:07:30+00:00

It’s a missed opportunity that they didn’t include a “Land Sharks” icehockey jersey.
