Women teams can't play against male teams so their ratings will be "relative"

Which is perfectly reasonable.

Anyway, it's a nice gesture that'll probably help EA shift a few more copies of the game.

I wonder if there will also be a new L.A. Noire style detective mode where you investigate corruption at the Fifa HQ. Could be titled 'Zurich Branleurs' or something like that.

They'll exaggerate all the woman's ratings to stop them bitching about how they're being sexist towards men.

Just downloading Rocket League from this months PS+, loved Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket-Powered Battle-Cars on PS3 and this is the sequel. Such a fun game, anyone fancy a few matches sometime?

Anyone here play BeamNG Drive? Still in development but the damage on the cars is the best i've ever seen on a game. You can also get planes and helicopters but most of it is from mods. Loads of videos of crashes and stuff on YouTube if anyone is interested.

Cant stop playing Rocket League, just abit annoying online when you start a 2v2 game and your team mate drops out then your left having to face two people.

Brought the new F1 2015 and Rory Mcilroy PGA Golf games this week! Both are class, graphics are insane.

A little annoying on F1 you can no longer do a 'personal pro' career and build up over the years to better teams but the overall gameplay is brilliant.

The PGA game is also good, you can do your pro mode and to filter through it quicker you can play 'the important' holes on each course each round, meaning yo only play 5/6 holes each round rather than all 18 which is good as it leaves the score closer, I played a full four rounds on full 18 holes and finished -44 with the second place finishing on -4! least now its closer, I think the second course, four rounds short I finished on -9 with second on -7

So do you have to take control of a real driver? And if you do, can you change teams with that driver?

Yerp you have to be a real driver, can decide where to start anywhere in the pack! Not sure, haven't got around to completing a full season or anything yet, I highly doubt you can change teams, there doesn't appear to be any 'updates' to apply to cars in the early races either so I don't know if this is something you can progress on.

Also the race distances are set to either 25%, 50% or full! Which I don't mind, 50% I started on took around 45 minutes to complete a race, going to start again but at 25% but that means qualifying is just a one lap hotlap instead of the Q1, Q2, Q3 which I haven't seen in any game mode.

Yeah, i think the game is terrible because of this.

I have the game, but don't want to spent 45minutes doing 1 race, i also don't want to lose a longer qualifying as a result of this. The game has a 23% positive on steam, that's how we feel about the game.

I'm exactly the same! I want to do the 25% race which is about 12/14 laps I believe and will still take a good 20/30 minutes however I don't want to then go down to a one lap shootout for qualifying as I think thats ridiculous, I don't see why we don't have the Q1, Q2 and Q3 still!

And that sucks, can you do more than one season or not?

F1 Chaps, if you go into Quick Race mode you can select all eighteen tracks and race through the whole season, once admittedly and then you're about to change the settings so can change the length of practice, have a full Qualifying which includes q1, q2 and q3 and then you can also set the race distance from 3 laps, 5 laps, 25%, 50% or 100%

Its a good workaround, but its something you shouldn't have to do.

Hopefully they add features in the updates rather than just fixing the mess that is the game.

Bit of a noob question but I'm a tad out of touch with football manager these days. I've just bought a MacBook, which obviously doesn't have a disc drive, where can I buy a Mac download version of FM? I looked on steam but FM15 is still £30, where as I can pick up a hard copy for £5 in our club shop...

Loads of places online do download codes now, you just pay and they email you the code to unlock the game through steam.

EDIT: Actually you can just buy it from your club shop and then activate it in steam, will download it then

So if I buy the hard copy in my club shop that should work? Won't I have to stick the disc in somewhere (which is the problem with my Macbook..)

I feel like such a gamer noob.

Great game, the only game I played for 5 weeks, put so much time into it I was gutted when I finished it. Going to try another play through on Death March at some point. Easily GOTY at the minute

Gonna get it for PC.
