Is this a good deal?

Do you think you'll need or use the 1 TB or could you get by with less? You wouldn't save money with that deal, it's essentially just putting the 2 products together. If you buy separately with a smaller xbox one, you could save money. Comes down to if you want that much space or not.

ya games are 80$ now in canada

I paid 90$ cad yesterday with all Quebec taxes.... yes it's getting ridiculous but if I play over 100hrs in a year I believe that it's worth it.

They have pretty much priced me out of the market for games. I buy Fifa and The Show every year because I get a ton of play time out of them and the odd other game. But at $90 a game it just doesn't make sense to be buying games every month.

 

[Evilo]

It's less than 60$ here in Europe. Or 50€.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Most of that is just basic currency conversion. 60 US is 79.30 in canada.

 

[Peen]

The midfield link up is amazing. Players make runs once the ball is passed. It's insane.

They got it right this year so far.

Oh trust me I get why it's more expensive here....That doesn't change it making me unable to justify buying as many games as I could 5 years ago though.

 

[Theon]

I'm playing the demo now and what on earth is up with the new free kick system? I just can't seem to get the positioning right and all my kicks end up going wide.

I feel ya there. Between that and just available time, I only get maybe 2 or 3 games a year, and sometimes it's just FIFA.

Not a fan of the new free kick or corner system

 

[Shrimper]

Comes out tomorrow and I'm really looking forward to coming home from work to play it.

 

[Burner Account]

It is waiting for me at home

I actually like the corners. Allows you to determine if you want it lofted or driven and be able to pick a general spot for it to land.

 

[Jeffrey]

I played a bit yesterday..

Man did it change... from Fifa 15 to fifa 17 (I skipped last year).
The game is noticeably slower and dribbling is very ineffective.

Not to mention corner and free kicks.

The view also changed but that might also mean that I need a bigger tv.

Maybe I just haven't figured it out yet, I had the prior system down pat

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I really like the new corners. Penalties and Free Kicks we will see I don't mind the change in Free Kicks because no matter how much I played with the old system I could not figure it out lol So there is hope here.

 

[John Price]

First thing I did after getting fifa last night was just play online. Oh boy...

Using striker to just out pace everyone like I do against the cpu... And then you go online and realize their backs can just steal the ball away just like that. Lol.

How's the frostbite engine?

Playing a manager career and the AI still makes weird transfers. United already have Ibra and Rashford but sure enough in the first transfer window they go out and buy Kane and Lukaku for 136 million dollars combined.

 

[John Price]

First thing I saw when I started manager mode on those newspapers as the team was loading... Barcelona buy Claudio bravo from city. Just seemed a bit odd.

Yep, this hasn't been fixed, but then again in reality, plenty of teams makes some dumb transfer decisions like this, although it's mostly with buying attacking midfielders.

 

[Karma]

I remember it happened last year with Bayern and GK's. They'd keep Neuer around but still buy Courtois and a couple others.
