The switch is a console...
haha you're right, my bad I guess since I play mainly handheld for other switch games I misspoke.
Loved your commentary on the negative effects of fifa. I played fifa religiously from 10-13 and started UT around 12. Let me tell you that i remember the exact point where matches started to feel more and more BS and extremely unpredictable. I began to go on extreme rages and rants on the game and even smashed 1 controller. I was absolutely livid and hated the game so much but I just could never stop. I know you had your reasons for quitting and yeah, being consumed by the game is bad. I was consumed in that I was so damn invested in it that it was taking a toll on my mental health.
That’s why I decided to play fifa switch when it came out in 2017. I can no longer go back to the pressure that Ps4 has on everyone. You either have to go all out or you’ll remain at the bottom and be at the mercy of other shitty players or the handicap helping you out. That’s not for me. I got fifa switch because I knew the engine and gameplay would be different than ps4. Ps4 has too many bullshit variables that affect the outcome of the game. Be it rain, ball dynamics or the most bullshit of all, corners, stoppage time goals, and strength battles. I needed something more arcade ish like the good old fifa 12 days and this was it.
I mainly play career mode but I also went back into UT and built a pretty decent team. I was happy to see that I now have the freedom to build fun teams and still be able to beat sweat teams out of skill. The market is slow but that’s partly why it’s more fun. Bidding battles are rare. Making a profit is easy. All the tryhards are on PS4 and Xbox. And best of all, you are playing on a platform that EA doesn’t feel is profitable enough! So Keep playing the switch!
Thanks man! Crazy that we started playing FUT around the same time. I remember even getting scammed out of my Neymar for a Hulk during the trade offer days haha. Getting FIFA on the switch allows me to control when I play and not feel entitled to play every single day. I also love that the community on switch isn't as toxic and players don't resort to cheap tactics and squads to win. Hopefully they allow more SBCs for FIFA 20, i'm fine without WL or Division Rivals, if they scrap FIFA altogether, i'm happy with my short-lived comeback.
