I'm coming off 8 years of FIFA and Ultimate Team, but so far I'm really enjoying MyClub. I quit FIFA last month, so this isn't the reason why I'm not playing FIFA anymore. Either way, I can see myself enjoying myclub for the rest of the season.
I grew up with PES, back when me and my brother had a Japanese copy of Winning Eleven for PSX, and several Winning Elevens after for PS2 and PES5 on Xbox 360 on which we both shared the same account. We had around 1500 matches played. At one point we got into the top 200. Good times.
Stray observations:
- I haven't played PES since PES5 but I feel like I recognize a lot of the mechanics, its strange that PES is still PES after all those years. I mean this in a good way.
- It looks fucking great if you ask me. I love the graphics and environment. Player models look fine too.
- so myclub, I noticed that I get 3000 coins for winning my first game on any given day, that's cool, and an incentive to keep playing.
- Its hard to resist buying a top agent with every 10k GP I earn.
- As opposed to FIFA, and like someone else mentioned on this page, I feel very much in control of my players. I don't sense scripting at all.
- That said, goalkeepers are absolutely shit. I have a mediocre keeper of around 71, forgot his name, so maybe I shouldn't complain, but it really feels like every shot attempt by my opponent is a goal.
- I'm still trying to find ways to earn GP. One tourney said I could get a Top Agent after winning the first match, and would receive 1000GP for every match I won after that. Did that, didn't get the agent. I did however find a free Castolo in my Inbox today. Is that from the tourney I played yesterday (which I didn't win, by the way, but it said I had to win the first game only anyway) or do they just gift stuff like that?
- What good is it to combine several Scouts at once? Is this helpful? And is it worth upgrading the scout slots?
