Fifa 21 Ultimate Team is dominated by players with in-form team of the season cards and FUT champs rewards. It is difficult even in lower divisions to find a team without an 85 rated player. However, these high-rated squads can be beaten by players with ratings in the 70s. There are even silver players in the game that can play well against the highest-rated cards in the game. Players should not feel obligated to use the highest-rated cards in their club, as statistics and traits are more important in-game....

When Final Fantasy 14 arrived for gamers, Square Enix managed to transform its hit fantasy RPG franchise into a spectacular MMO experience. Within the main FF14 game, Final Fantasy fans can take on iconic Jobs and embark on an adventure with their friends. Moreover, its roster of 20 Classes that transition into one of 10 Final Fantasy Jobs provides a ton of flexibility in terms of gameplay. In fact, some beginners might express confusion on the matter....

Uematsu did not go on record to say the name of his disease but that he would be taking personal time off for the rest of the year.

Spoilers For Final Fantasy VII Remake Ahead! When Final Fantasy VII Remake was first announced, the fans wondered if it would reference the Final Fantasy VII prequels, sequels, and spin-offs that had been released after the original game. By far the most referenced piece of Final Fantasy VII media in the remake is a 2011 novel called Final Fantasy VII The Kids Are Alright: A Turks Side Story, which is set between Final Fantasy VII and Advent Children....

The Finnish Hockey League has decided to have its playoffs unfold on NHL 20 due to its season being postponed thanks to the COVID-19 outbreak. The COVID-19 outbreak has had a massive effect on the sporting world. Pretty much every league and tournament on the planet right now is on hiatus as various governing bodies decide whether to wait it out or cancel the season altogether. Or, there’s the unconventional third option being taken by the Finnish Hockey League....

Paranoid is an upcoming horror game made by Madmind Studio, the development team behind such titles as Agony and Succubus. A new trailer released for the game earlier today and it leaves quite an eerie impression, to say the least. Madmind is a much smaller studio, currently comprised of a small number of developers, but those developers have experience working on an impressive lineup of games, such as The Witcher 3 and The Division, to name just a few....

The board game arm of Funko, Funko Games, has no business being as good as it is. The company is producing a non-stop supply of liscened games based on everything from Godzilla to Pan-Am and I’m consistently impressed with the quality and consistency of these budget priced board games. Five Nights At Freddy’s: Survive ‘Til 6AM is no exception. This is simple to learn, hard to master game absolutely nails the theme of the kid-friendly horror series it’s based on....

While the news of SimCity developer Maxis Emeryville’s closure did not come as too much of a surprise, it was no less disappointing. Here was a developer with a long legacy of successful city-building titles, among other things, who was seemingly kicked to the curb after one, admittedly colossal, failure. Still, the talent of Maxis’ staff cannot be discounted, and while the recently displaced employees are currently looking for new studios they are also trying to keep active....

While much of the Fortnite community has a renewed interest in the game following the missile launch this weekend, developer Epic Games is hoping to cash in. This week, Epic announced a new contest that asks players to put their movie-making skills to the test. Dubbed the Fortnite Blockbuster Contest, this competition is live now and runs until July 11th. During that time players will be able to submit their entries via social media by using the #FortniteBlockbuster hashtag....

The ’90s were a golden time for animation, with shows like Batman: The Animated Series redefining what was possible in Saturday morning cartoons. MTV also championed independent animators with the anthology Liquid Television which featured the edgy Aeon Flux, as well as Frog Baseball, a 1992 short by Mike Judge that gave the world Beavis and Butt-Head. Along with John Kricafalusi’s The Ren & Stimpy Show, Beavis and Butt-Head took over the rebellious gap left by The Simpsons as it settled into the mainstream....

E3 2021 was a rollercoaster for many gaming fans. It was the first time E3 has ever been a digital event, so no one really knew what to expect. Millions of gamers across the world tuned in to see if they were going to get any news about games they had been waiting for.

Call of Duty: Warzone is gearing up for a massive ending to its Zombies event, but supposedly, this will only be the beginning of the game’s unique content. In a recent interview with Inverse, Activision’s Chief Revenue Officer for eSports Brandon Snow teased some exciting developments for Call of Duty: Warzone. In the interview, the executive focused heavily on Call of Duty: Warzone’s esports plans when discussing what is coming next....

This time around, Cameron and Anthony are talking about some major HBO The Last of Us news, E3’s future as a digital show, and some of the biggest new games they played.

Welcome back to the Game Ranter Banter! With the plethora of new major releases we’re surprised you can even find time to read this! This week five our writers will discuss Novembergeddon, the classic SNES, why video games may be a better alternative to movies, and some of the crazy things gamers have done these past few weeks. Oh, and we also give a slight nudge to remind you of three games that are worth picking up....

As the “first supercharged gaming PC in the cloud,” Shadow does things a little differently from most services. Rather than grant access to a platform of streamable games, a Shadow subscription provides access to a dedicated high-end Windows 10 PC. This means subscribers can download any PC game that runs on Windows 10 to their remote rig and stream it from anywhere. This has the added benefit of avoiding the licensing issues that led to multiple publishers pulling their games from GeForce Now, since the games here aren’t actually being hosted on another service....

Radio communication is key when you’re delivering cargo to remote outposts in post-apocalyptic America. In video games, however, hearing repeated radio message can be annoying at best and immersion-breaking at worst. That’s where Death Stranding’s small details really stand out. If Death Stranding were different, the overlapping radio message triggers in the open world would be a recognizable point of humor. We’ve all played a game that has environmental triggers that play the same message over and over again....

The Ghost of Tsushima title screen was revealed two days ago to give us another taste of what to expect when the game hits later this month, and a cool gaming detail has since been noticed. It would seem that the title screen changes a bit depending on where the player is in the game at a given point. So far, three different versions of the title screen have been found: one with only a single sword - seemingly the default one for when you’ve yet to begin the game - another with two different swords, and a third depicting the Shinobi mask that is worn by the protagonist Jin Sakai....

Gears Tactics is the latest entry in the Gears of War franchise and is currently out on PC for Gears and strategy genre fans to enjoy for its intricacies and differentiation from the previous Gears of War titles. However, the game can be difficult, which includes its first boss fight with the Brumak. Brumaks are huge, towering monsters within the Gears of War series that have chainguns attached to their forearms, missile launchers attached to their shoulders, and the ability to use brute melee force....

By and large, Chromebooks aren’t known for being the best gaming PCs, being designed more around things like better battery life and affordability than the technical horsepower needed to run a lot of major titles these days. That said, it’s now easier than ever to play games on Chromebooks, because Nvidia’s streaming service GeForce Now has just launched in beta form for ChromeOS. While most of the discussion around cloud-based game-streaming lately has focused largely on Google Stadia and Microsoft’s upcoming Project xCloud, Nvidia has been steadily growing its own service and working to make it more enticing....

Genshin Impact now has several months under its belt, and its players are finally acclimating to the game’s various features, mechanics, and storylines. The game recently received its second major update, dubbed Version 1.2, which introduced an entirely new region known as Dragonspine, alongside several other new forms of content. That being said, some integral Genshin Impact features have remained unchanged since the game’s launch. Among these rather standard features are the game’s “Wishes,” which allow the player to summon new playable characters and powerful four and five-star weapons....
