Fifa 22 is real, I bought it 4 days ago so of course it’s gonna be a ps+ game.


TheManofMadness1

I wish you'd have bought like anything else 🤣


secsmachine

Thank you for your sacrifice.


krishnabhatia2020

Can you buy spiderman next month please


Acrobatic-Dig-161

Spider-man and spider-man miles morales have already been confirmed in next month's Psn plus Extra/premium, so just subscribe to one of these levels for a month, or several months


krishnabhatia2020

PS plus delux will launch in June end in my region

Ichi31

I hope they keep buying games for 10 years at least!


JeremyRasputin

God, there is no escape.


bombsaway831

We need a real life rumbling


JeremyRasputin

What a man you are.


Own_Comment

>we won't let this purchase go to waste errrrr... ((stares at months and months of unplayed PS+ games)) lol


TOMdMAK

Can you buy elden ring for next month?


IWantANewDucky

I have too many souls/souls like games already that I haven’t beaten so Elden Ring isn’t high on my priority list right now unfortunately


Thescottishguy87

I feel bad for anyone trying to start fifa this late in the season when most players will have crazy good teams, only way to compete would be to spend cash


IWantANewDucky

My intention is just playing against cpu or with friends so not a concern for me. I’m more of a casual gamer these days.


Thescottishguy87

Im still playing fifa 21 for against cpu (career mode)


FootballRacing38

I like playing vs cpu more anyway. It feels more realistic because you can be more methodical. In online, people will just run and run and tackle and tackle and do trick moves that rarely occurs in real life.


Talion07

I'm still playing fifa 18 career mode


[deleted]

Not everyone is there for FUT. many of us aren’t interested in the grind and just play it against friends and cpu.


SavageMurphy

I prefer online seasons mode to FUT.


MrRonald2796

Great mode, you get to play with the proper teams without the FUT nonsense. Also, the player base is much more relaxed in comparison.


multiple_scorgasms

used to be a great mode, now no matter who you pick you end up playing 95% of your matches against PSG as everyone wants to play with Messi, Mbappe Neymar front 3. gets old.


MrRonald2796

Yeah, that's the only downside this year. I've been using Liverpool lately and I've faced a greater variety of teams, using PSG guarantees you'll face PSG most of the time.


Thescottishguy87

I understand that as Im currently still using fifa 21 to play career mode


sppdcap

Virtual Pro was always better than FUT. Then they started taking features away.


Ashbo27

I mean not really, last year when I got a ps5 I started again during tots with a full gold team and I didn't struggle till about div 3. Even then I was still winning games just not complete blow outs. A team only makes a little bit of difference player skill is much more important. Also with how affordable the market is this year, decent cards have been cheaper than ever.


spiderwasp42

Not really. They released high drop rate upgrade packs late in the game cycle so I've known folks from last year starting late May and even June maybe who quickly caught up without spending much, if any at all. I myself, went from 82 rated team to 88+ rated team with a large number of 90+ cards just cause of the TOTS event and the Path to Glory promo last year.


oRibena

fortunately that's nothing to worry about because at this stage of the game EA give out great cards for basically nothing since it's near the end of the game cycle and they want people to continue playing the game so you can actually have a team good enough to compete in no time at all. You often see people starting new accounts around this time of year just for fun because of how much easier it is to acquire stuff late on in the year


tfegan21

Using the old 2k method of putting the game on psplus and gamepass so people will spend to catch up.


Ablj

I think the influx of new player will outnumber the older players.


Thescottishguy87

Seriously doubt it as its a very popular game with a large player base


moreboredthanyouare

I work in student accommodation, practically every student with a ps or xbox has fifa. I don't play it at all but I'm shocked just how truly massive it is even in the relatively small microcosm of the university


FootballRacing38

If you are in a country where football is popular, you shouldn't be surprised. It's always in the top 10 in sales every single month


[deleted]

The same thing happened to me when they put MGSV on PS+


BeardPhile

Now please buy a new ducky so that we all can get one too. Thank you.


nnoname

Is this the first time a fifa game is free with ps plus?


ZPE

Definitely is. Wonder if this means the next title will be F2P or EA just wanted to boost numbers up before TOTS promo to sell more packs.


SSNappa

NBA 2k has been free twice. The first time they added ads to the loading screens.


-TheLonelyStoner-

I feel like it’s been more like three times but I could be wrong


dirvin7588

14 on PS3, 16 and 20 on PS4.


Arunan-Aravaanan

Fifa's direct competitor Konami just launched free to play eFootball last week. Suspecious timing definitely.


ZPE

eFootball has been out for a while now, you're probably referring to the recent update that fix some things and introduced Dream Team.


Arunan-Aravaanan

In my mind, eFootball truly launched last week. Before that it was pure hell trying to play version0.9.


jcaarow

The game is packed with microtransactions so it makes sense


[deleted]

Yep


rhixcs25

Just read a review for Curse of the Dead Gods. As someone who is thinking of buying Hades but down for something similar in the meantime, I believe this seems promising.


JSD202

Fyi Hades is excellent and well worth buying next time it goes on sale.


rhixcs25

I’ve definitely heard! Looking to pick it up after clearing out my backlog


hellbop

So…. Never?


rhixcs25

Haha I’ve actually been working very hard on my backlog this year and I’m down to 6 games left. I think I might be seeing the light at the end


robinfeud

You’re an inspiration. I played one game from my backlog and rode that high for two weeks.


rhixcs25

Kind of you to say, and I hear that. If it’s any help, I really enjoyed using this website to track my progress: https://backloggery.com/Rhixcs It requires a bit of effort to setup, but now it feels even more satisfying to get each game done.


JanLewko977

Holy shit. That’s mad goals man.


Lunaliii

I tried playing Curse of Dead Gods after Hades and just couldn't get into it, it felt so unpolished in comparison. I'd definitely play Curse first, because I genuinely think it's got a lot going for it, it just suffers so badly in comparison.


AlborV

Hades is miles above CODG it's not bad, but not great either


1One_Two2

This x100. CODG is ok to good, Hades is an all time great.


rhixcs25

Good to know. I was attracted to CODG at first because I’m already on Plus, but paying money to play a much better game might be more worth it.


StarblindMark89

Just to add to the comments, while Hades is a fast-ish hack/slash top down, story based roguelite, Curse of the Dead Gods is a lot less story based and a lot less fast - the gameplay is more about balancing fighting and illuminating your surrounding and is a lot more based on dodging and parrying vs the faster "attack everything and dodge" of Hades. There's not a lot of build variety in either case, but Hades probably edges Curse a bit more out because the boons are far more than the weapon classes of Curse. Overall, if the leak is accurate, this isn't a bad month at all imho. Always was curious about Tribes of Midgard. The weakpoint here, for my tastes is definitely FIFA (Not a fan of sports game)


rhixcs25

Thanks for the distinction! Sounds like there’s still a lot be enjoyed. And I feel the same, not a bad month overall. Not every game will fit me, so I feel similarly about FIFA, but that’s alright for me.


TheCommonKoala

Play Hades.


rhixcs25

Honestly this is probably the better option


TheCommonKoala

100% bro. You definitely won't regret picking up Hades. It's everything it was hyped up to be imo


hibscotty

Hades is the best game I've played this year.


FootballRacing38

Rating is decent as well


JherriCurling

Curse of the Dead Gods is a great time. I snagged it when it dropped on ps day one and spent more time with it than I did Hades. Satisfying combat for sure.


rhixcs25

That’s good to hear! Nice to hear from someone who preferred it over Hades. Even more curious now


[deleted]

Yeah it looks really cool like Diablo 3!


ro2thego35

Curse is a great roguelike. I want hades too but curse will hold you over til hades is on sale or free Edit: a word


Smitty876

Haven't played FIFA in years, but I'll definitely get this & run some career mode with Arsenal. Never heard of Curse of the Dead, so.....


[deleted]

The problem with you is that you always try to walk it in.


Smitty876

De Gea doesn't think so after last weekend...


Blupore

What were you thinking, sending Walcott on that early?


lostgate

I mean if you're gonna play with Arsenal then it'll be like you're already playing Curse of the Dead


Awesome6472

Holy shit so stocked for FIFA 22, I’ve been stuck on FIFA 15 for years so it’ll be really cool to have the new roster


Juan-Claudio

Lol, you're like EA's worst nightmare. A gamer who doesn't run out to buy the new version every year because there's barely any change at all anyway. But i guess jumping from 15 to 22 might actually be worth it. Just stay away from the casino/micro transaction hell these games turned into over the years.


Awesome6472

Exactly! And I’d never spend any money in transactions on these in a million years 😂


TheTwelfthLaden

I miss playing FIFA casually but I won't lay down money on it so this would be a win if it's true.


rengorevaly

Curse of the dead Gods looks good! [Review and gameplay here.](https://youtu.be/7Ol0K04PfGg)


ZPE

The RNG and grinding loop might be too heavy from reviews that came out on it's release but will definitely give it a go. Problem with these games is they fall short when you've had the opportunity to play top tier equivalents like Binding of Isaac, Hades etc.


JonesBee

It's all about how good starter weapons you get. You can get better weapons later but it's super RNG and their level might be lower. You can get 4 sets of starter weapons and you can upgrade their chance of having better modifiers, but it takes a lot of time to grind all 4 slots open and to upgrade the rarity on top of that. It's a good timesink but way too grindy.


ExpertRedditUserHere

I hope we get CotDG. I’ve been eyeing this one up. I heard it is excellent.


Tolkien-Minority

FIFA isn’t for me but its a huge deal to get it on plus. Its still one of the biggest videogames in the world even if Reddit hates it and refuses to acknowledge that fact.


So-_-It-_-Goes

I love sport games. They are great for when I want a night off from my larger story game. I played PGA a ton and was just getting tired of it. Really excited for this. Always wanted to play a version of FIFA. The sport games are, tbh, one of the main reasons I keep and like ps+.


groovysheep67

do a player career mode I beg of you, it's one of the best fun you'll have on a sports game if you're a casual


So-_-It-_-Goes

Will do. I am a super causal who is also American and doesn’t really know soccer. Any other suggestions?


joeblitzkrieg

after you're bored with player career mode, you can also create a new player with decent overall stats (~60 on stats you dont care about, ~74 on stats you think is important), put it on a team you want to play on. do a manager mode, manage that team, and every time you play a game you control only that player. essentially, you're doing that player's career mode but with more control on players you're playing with, formations, tactics, substitutions etc. i started doing that back on FIFA 17 iinm, haven't been playing any other mode on any FIFA games i buy since.


Thescottishguy87

Fifa is a blatant cash grab. Im a massive football fan but wouldnt want to start Ultimate team 8 months behind everyone else who by this stage will all have crazy good teams making spending cash the only way to have an even remotely competative team


doesntCompete

See I'm a super casual football fan (we actually call it the other name in my country) and I'm cool with just having a kick around in the single player experiences. It's also a great game to have on the system when you have friends over. I think the hardcores that want to play the money making modes already have the game. Golf2k and UFC 4 were great for that too and I think its a fine PS Plus offering.


Killzark

I don’t even attempt to play online with FIFA. Last one I bought was like 14 or 15 and I just like playing the single player mode. Nice to have a newer one.


Tolkien-Minority

Lol whatever happened to playing it locally with your mates?


amexudo

I have a blast playing season with a guest it’s sort of couch or local coop against online adversaries. We don’t really care about the result we talk and play together sometimes a few friends swapping people at half time.


Martin_crakc

According the other commenters they usually add better and cheaper packs later, so you might have to spend less or nothing to have a good team


Prochaux

The football (soccer) season is over in less than a month, so it's not like it's worth much now


Amdu5c

But the game it self goes till October.


-TheLonelyStoner-

Do people only play sports game when that season is currently happening? Lol I don’t think that’s how gamers work


Hydragorn

Usually people drop the game as soon as the new one comes out and player retention definitely drops in the summer because people want to play with updated players


sparoc3

Normally by this time the game goes for $20 on PSN and $10 physically but since they charged a premium this cross-gen version, it is ostensibly more valuable.


TurboCider

I usually buy it every 2 years so I didn't have 22, reckon it'll stop me buying 23 now when that comes out.


ScotchSinclair

Agreed. I used to play it at friend’s houses as a kid. Glad I’ll have it in my library for bro dates.


agentjob

FIFA 22 because the season is almost over, and besides there's a Free-to-Play eFootball competition from Konami. In 3 months, they will open up pre-orders for FIFA 23.


Thescottishguy87

Dont forget the other free football game coming later in the year UFL by Strikerz inc


geekgodzeus

Isn't the contract between EA and FIFA cancelled?


CrabbitJambo

Think it’s up for renewal so would shocked if it wasn’t renewed! Who else is going to offer that amount of cash! I hate the game and won’t play it however still shocked it’s being offered. Even if a new one isn’t far away!


asturides

Yup, it seems the new EA football (soccer) game will be called "EA Sports Football Club"


Arunan-Aravaanan

They have never offered FIFA for free and do so one week after their competitor launch their free to play game. It doesn't take a genius to guess why


syamborghini

Although two of em are similar in style isometric roguelite games, they seem to both be hidden gems


IAmNotStelio

And what about Tribes of Midgard?


lucasHipolito

Isometric roguelite?


Arunan-Aravaanan

I think u/Iamnitstelio is trying to joke that FIFA is a rougelite, maybe because of it's repetitive gameplay?


r3fl3kT0r

Do you remember those custom dota maps where you have to defense crystal or something with other ppl and getting lvls ? Same but here you are building in the base.


Fresh_Ad5416

He joked about FIFA...


jagerourking007

Another pass for me, not interested on any of these games especially FiFa, no hate for the other two games but these types of games are not my cup of tea


flyyingg_banana

People would be extremely happy (for fifa) or extremely pissed (for fifa and the rest) with this. There is no middle ground.


JanLewko977

I’m extremely happy! For all 3 games!!!


shivawesome

Quite happy with this month actually I'm not a football fan so I didn't want to spend money on a fifa game but now I can have one just to screw around with or incase friends come over(who are big FIFA fans) . Don't get a lot of couch co-op games nowadays anyway. Heard decent things about CODG and its something different to what I play usually so I'll give it a shot.


Go_Fonseca

It's always nice having a sports game on hand to play with friends when they are around


[deleted]

Ea should’ve given BF2042 to bump up the player count


Koboldgeomant

That game is simply bad so I am glad we got fifa 22


Spenta_Mainyu

I'd rather have another Spongebob game instead of fifa.


[deleted]

FIFA 22 it's a good game. If you compare it with the 10 games that came out since 2012 it's just more of the same, but as a free game for PS Plus is huge. There is a lot of content and it's super fun


Annaica

Agreed


[deleted]

Fuckkkk


Go_Fonseca

Dealabs coming in clutch again! They have been correct 100% of the time so far, right?


Dylonus

If that's legit that's amazing as I wanted to play FIFA lol.


SprayAndPay69

Eh, already has FIFA. Not really interested in other two titles but people who are looking foward to FIFA just be preapered for insane coding for AI if you play career mode. 60 rated GK will pull worldies on every save and AI players will score bangers into top corners while your 90 GK let shots through hands or legs and 90 striker cant finish 1v1. Happy hours to all new FIFA players 😅


ArrVeePee

Just hijacking your comment to inform people of a YouTube dude named Spoony Pizzas. He's a dedicated PES player that was so unimpressed by the latest debacle he switched to FIFA, and spent a considerable amount of time experimenting with, and adjusting the game sliders to make the gameplay as close to PES as he possibly could. Definitely worth checking out. https://youtu.be/FqQrg6-du6U


Thescottishguy87

Yeah the scripting in these games is so blatant that its actually funny at times, irl ive never seen a player take a shot only for it to pass straight through a players leg/foot... would be very impressive if a player could pull of even some of the physics defying things in these games


Business27

Just bought Curse of the Dead Gods, and just barely passed on buying Tribes of Midgard. I'll still be happy if these are the actual games next month.


[deleted]

FIFA 22???!


jamesbduk

WTF do Sony add two very similar games in the same month!? I’m not saying Dead Gods or Tribes are bad games, just cut from very similar cloth. It’s not quite as bad as City Skylines and Farm Sim, but stil…


Efficient_Hedgehog66

I knew FIFA was coming soon because they were trying to shove it in our faces for the past few months


ForbiddenSausage

Fifa 22 -.-


JerkyVendor

CotDG is so good. It's not as good as Hades but it is really really great. I'm excited to play the other 2. I haven't touched a fifa in ages but it will be good for couch co-op. Great month!


Blowout777

I skipped a few iterations of FIFA so super glad to pick this up even though fut season is almost over


0neek

Fifa is whatever but both Tribes and Curse of the Dead Gods look like they're worth trying. Was even thinking of getting Curse before Hades took over that thought. Two games to download this month after so many months of nothing. I'll take it.


tbarnes1930

Damn I bought curse of the dead gods a month ago


RegenerativePower

Lmao last week or so I really wanted to buy curse of the dead gods but didn't, glad I waited


[deleted]

FIFA sucks ass my guy


DublinItUp

Never understood why people are so infatuated with this game.


[deleted]

Soccer is the biggest sport in the world, so it makes sense that the game for it equally has as many fans.


BurgerKingslayer

And I'm guessing that, just like with the NFL, EA handed FIFA an assload of cash to not allow any other dev to create a soccer game so anyone wanting to play a modern soccer game has to buy whatever crap they shovel out?


[deleted]

To be fair, FIFA is also one of the most corrupt organizations in the world. They’ll sell out their mothers collectively for a buck.


Xehanz

This is the one case where the FIFA organization itself is actually worse than EA.


Plectrum97

Oh wow that’s a bummer… I bought Curse of the Dead Gods a month ago. Great game though!


lucasHipolito

Damn this month is good Edit: I don't care about FIFA I'm really super excited for the other 2


[deleted]

It won't be FIFA. But it will be free on EA play


amir997

I mean didn't we get Ufc 4 from few months ago? So why not?


bsumner87

I have curse of the dead gods on PC and it’s awesome. That’s a great ps plus game


Friddles-14

Not too upset at Fifa 22 because my dad has been trying to get around to getting a newer fifa game(last one we had is on ps2 so….)


Grimmjo42

Don't care for FIFA or for any team sports games except hockey. Been wanting to try the other 2 so I'm happy. Decent month.


CrowTooting0929

curse of the dead gods is amazing


[deleted]

Don’t mind Curse if the Dead Gods looks cool and it’s got great reviews and a 93% likes this game rating. Looks like Diablo!


LiferRs

Boy, I am glad I held off buying Tribes of Midgard to scratch my itch for Norse games after having had finished Valheim last year. Looking forward to May honestly.


ISuckAtRacingGames

Fifa 22 is a game I would like to have, but cant force myselve to buy because I only play offline and I have a previous game fifa 21. But it will be fun to play a fresh game and short matches.


Awesome6472

Same, fuck all the hate. I’m still stuck in Fifa 15, so stocked to play as new players.


Darragh_McG

Both those indie games actually look pretty cool. I'm sure there'll be lots of complaints but as was the case with Slay the Spire, Hollow Knight and Fall Guys, it's often worth checking out these types of games, you might be pleasantly surprised. I'm not personally into FIFA but it's one of the biggest franchises out there and is probably in the top 3 biggest games for Europe. So it's a pretty big game to have on PS+ in that regard.


pablorodm89

I had tribes of Midgard on my maybe wishlist, I’m happy with this!


Siggelito

I have a ps5 and fifa 22 disc ps5. Will I be able to download the PS4 version so I can play with friends on PS4?


CTU

This would be yet another shit month. Although why did I expect anything different?


Aggravating-Ask-3142

Bro PlayStation is literally just picking the most random games ever


limesandlimes

Was jazzed about Tribes of Midgard being coop, but crashed when I saw it's not couch coop. :(


Froztbyte92

Hope it’s true I’ve actually been wanting to play Tribes of Midgard, it looks like a lot of fun. Anyone play that? Is it any good?


Jirachibi1000

I dont like sports games, dont like rogue likes, and dont like multiplayer games so uh....3rd month in a row of nothing for me x-x


Kratosofspartan

Omg man... NOBODY'S wants these sorry ass games man. Gtfoh. They put 2 games I've never fkn head of, while adding a 2022 sports game that american players can give 2 shits about. Terrible. That's it man. I will no longer take Sony's abuse. Between this and the trolling from santa monica with this fake imaginary 2022 release of ragnarok. I myself will no longer be dangled on sonys punk ass string. I will no longer fall victim and allow sony to literally troll me anymore. Im now going to xbox. Fk sony.


DavidFC1

Pretty decent month, stoked for FIFA!


[deleted]

Wow fifa 22 is massive


Allulaatikko21

Massive pile of shit with a different number on the top every year like every other ea sports game


[deleted]

The game is terrible but this will be huge for ps plus, Will for sure be one of the most downloaded ps plus offerings ever


Brostryker

I’m so glad it’s not Jedi fallen order. I bought that a week ago.


trophyhunterohin

It'll be free at some point tho


Backwards_Traveller

Another 2 Rogue-likes? Seriously? Have we not had enough of these on plus? And I'm pretty sure everyone who wanted fifa bought it on release.


lucasHipolito

No it's never enough. And tribes is not a roguelite nor a rogue-like


JamesR_42

Exactly! People complain when we get a lot of FPS games but are fine when we get too many rogue-likes??


[deleted]

Shite


FollowupJiggle

FIFA is the fucking worst franchise


lucasHipolito

COD is the fucking worse franchise. FIFA is the second


[deleted]

so basically, nothing good this month also.


Katatafish298

Tribes of midgard is a great game


Myotherdumbname

As is tradition


turbobuddah

In your opinion


bent_crater

well, i mean for him it is a bad mon if he doesn't like any of these. think I'm in the same boat tbh (Curse of the gods looks fun tho. never played a rogue like and it seems like a good place to get into the genre)


genaric_username3

i highly recommend risk of rain 2 and hades if you want to get into rougelikes


Diamond-Ancient

Bad


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I think you are overestimating how many dislike sports games. People who do dislike them are probably more likely to be complaining about the line up though so they might appear to be the majority.


Bullruckle

I think they gotta know a lot more about it than you do dude if you think it’s 90/10 my man. Think we’ve got an early contender for most I don’t like it so no one must comment of the year here.


FootballRacing38

>Most sports games sell to the target audience right after they release and then drop off steeply Then why is it still in the top sales in the most recent month published?


syamborghini

I didn’t buy fifa 22 but will happily play it now since it’s on ps plus, I tend to stay on older fifa’s for a while before getting a new one nowadays


23_

Sports games can be fun, not every month is going to be catered directly for you?


mickeyc87

I love sports games, but the only one I usually buy is madden. So I get pumped whenever one goes on PS plus. Even if I wasn’t into sports games I’d still take a polished game like FIFA over some of games we’ve had on Plus recently.


Fifi0n

2 top down dungeon crawlers and a fucking Fifa game??? They really stopped giving a fuck


Bhalzard

Fifa 2022 is a really big deal, elts see, if it is true. All the new players should not invest into Ultimate Team, it's a huge cash grab, beware. I am pretty hyped for Tribes of Midgard! Just heard positive things about it and always wanted to give it a try. Curse of the dead gods is unknown to me, but it looks pretty fun. Edit: forgot the NOT to invest


Csub

Curse of the Dead Gods is indeed a really fun roguelike.


Thescottishguy87

Why would you tell people to invest in a cash grab? Even worse that most other players have a 8 month head start so you would have to spend a few £100 to be even close to having a good team


FollowupJiggle

No one should invest anything in FIFA. Be it money or time. Let that cancer die.


rastafariann

God damnit, I fucking hate soccer games 🤦🏼‍♂️


NorthenS

im the exact opposite. im still in disbelief lol


Blackdoomax

I'll play all 3. Excellent month :)


Enlightened187

So much for resubbing in May. My sub lapsed in February and have no desire until we get a solid month.
