Farewell to FIFA 22

It is that time of the year, when we bid adieu to the previous generation of FIFA, and say hello to the new one. I enjoyed playing FIFA 22, although not as much as FIFA 21. I was able to build my FUT team slowly though the year, and get to a stage where I was able to build some insanely good teams by the end of the year. The primary reason for the meta teams were the squad building challenges that EA Sports launched late in the year, where multiple opportunities were given to get a pack of 10 players with 85+ ratings. The outcome was mostly Team of the Year, and Team of the Season players, that made the rating of the teams I was building go through the roof. Below are some of the teams I ended up with before I uninstalled the game and installed the latest FIFA 23.

Premier League

I got Julian Alvarez, Raheem Sterling, Richarlison, Darwin Nunez, Ivan Perisic, Nick Pope, and Kalidou Koulibaly through their respective squad building challenges. The rest I was able to get through the squad building challenges that gave me 10 85+ rated players. I could not get a meta right back, and was left with using Trent Alexander Arnold, but I did not use him a lot through the year as I used Kyle Walker mostly.

Bundesliga

I got the best cards of the best players in Bundesliga, with the standouts being Manuel Neuer, Joshua Kimmich, Jude Bellingham, Abedi Pele, and Shapeshifters card of card of Alphonso Davies as striker. This was a team I used for fast pace as the 98 pave of Abedi Pele, and the 99 pace of Davies and Moussa Diaby left every defender behind.

Ligue 1

I managed to bag the Team of the Season cards of Neymar, Mbappe, Marquinhos, Saliba, Tchouameni and Nuno Mendes, and the Team of the Year cards of Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi in Ligue 1. My only regret is not to not be able to bag the Team of the Season or Team of the Year card of Lionel Messi. I got Jonathan David in a Futties Favourite SBC.

Serie A

The midfield was the highlight for me, as I bagged the Team of the Year cards of Brozovic and Sandro Tonali, along with the Shapeshifter card of Mathias de Ligt. The Team of the Season card of Immobile was also fun because of his speed and acceleration. I did the End of an Era SBC of Chiellini, and hence was able to bag his 96 rated card.

La Liga

I got the meta cards of the best players in La Liga. I got Lewandowski through the moments SBC, while I got the rest of the team through the 10 85+ rates SBCs. Like the Premier League team above, I could not get a meta right back, and hence I had to use 85 rated Caravajal there.

On to the best rated country teams, the best I had were the Brazilian and French teams. The right back and left back were a problem in those teams respectively, but the rest of the squad was excellent.

This wraps up a look back at the teams I ended up with at the end of FIFA 22, and time to start playing the latest installment.

Brick Ball Blast - review

I love brick breaker games, and have been on the lookout for this genre for the last 5 years. Brick Ball Blast has been my most favourite in this genre of games. I like the animations, and the different kind of brick mechanics they have in the game, and the level designs (in most cases). This game has become the most played game in my life so far across all platforms including PC and consoles. The major gripes I have with the game are the fact that the only way to get rid of ads is by subscribing to the game, and that costs a mammoth 620 INR each month. Many AAA titles are available at a one time payment of such a price, and this game demands that price as a monthly subscription. Also, many levels seem to be designed such that one cannot complete the level with the number of lives given, and one will have to watch ads to get extra lives. Overall, it is a game that one will enjoy, but be prepared to get exhausted by the numerous ads that needed to be watched.

The Game Awards 2020

Image
Background I have been a fan of video game shows, especially the E3 and The Game Awards. I look forward to both events every year and religiously wake up early in the morning at 5a.m. to watch the shows. I had planned on attending E3 and The Game Awards this year and had planned leaves accordingly, but the pandemic struck. E3 could not take place because it was planned very close to the time when travel was suspended and I imagine that they did not have a back up for such a scenario. The Game Awards on the other hand had close to 9 months to plan it out, and boy did they do an excellent job of it! The show was broadcast on multiple platforms (YouTube, Twitter, Twitch, Facebook, Oculus VR, etc.) and they even had tie-ups with Instagram, Twitch, Pokemon Go and TikTok. From the Game Awards account on Instagram, users could download a variety of filters they could use for the reels feature on the platform. They had something called drops on Twitch and users could catch some special kind of
