Up to Division 7 in FIFA 12 Head to Head Seasons. :)

The season before this one I needed a win in the last game to avoid being Relegated, and was down 3-2 in the 78th minute. I threw guys forward and got a goal in the 81st minute, but still needing a win, couldn't just settle for a Draw. Got a 4th goal in the 86th minute and held on for the win.

Updated. I think the last 5 matches of each season are rigged (sim'd games). I've been in 1st place with 4-5 games to go each of the last two seasons only to tie or lose matches agaisnt teams in the bottom 5 of the EPL. Despite having a rested team and players who are better at every position.

I've also noticed that injuries and red cards seem to run in groups. I had three 2-5 month long injuries happen within a 4 game span.

I am in the year 2020 now. So the players I know are all starting to retire.

Finally won both the EPL and the Champions League (vs Juventus). Finished runner-up in the F.A. Cup (vs Man U.). So almost had the treble! :)

Reading the reviews, and getting excited to play Forza 4.

All of the time spent playing Forza 3 was not a waste. Depending on your level and other factors of your Forza 3 save, you gain access to more cars in your garage immediately with Forza 4. Nice! :D Sadly, you don't get to keep your money.

You still win cars for gaining levels, but instead of just getting a car, you get to choose from several each time.

Cars don't level up, but you gain manufacturer levels for using a car which leads to 100% discounts on parts.

You can buy cars either with in-game currency or MS points now. Money isn't usually an issue, so not sure why that would be necessary. But I guess if you are really impatient.

The feature I most look forward to is Rivals mode (twitch is toast! ;) ) , where you race against the ghost of your friends (or strangers) car and try to beat their times.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread VI: Somebody set us up the bomb

Rivals mode also appears to be independent of Xbox Live Gold (I'm silver and i can play it), so add me: Nagiom.

Sweet. I don't have to re-up for Gold now (canceled my auto payment in favor of point cards after the PS3 hacking incident.)
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread VI: Somebody set us up the bomb

Just saw where there's going to be limited multiplayer for ME3...so long as it's truly optional, meh. But if they decide to make it mandatory to get a certain ending, that's going to royally suck. Don't understand why they don't just finish ME3, and then if they really need to implement a multiplayer game in the ME universe, do so as a separate game.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread VI: Somebody set us up the bomb

We should start a USCHO Car Club for those with Forza 4. The name can be 20 characters, but the tag next to your name can only be 4.

Do I get it in RRoD flavor or Hax0r Ur Credit Cardz flavor?
RRoD flavor sir.

Jeremy Clarkson is an *** and a buffoon on Top Gear, but I love what Turn 10 has him doing for the Forza 4 marketing campaign.
 
Re: Official Video Games Thread VI: Somebody set us up the bomb

The F3 import bonuses are nice for Forza 4. Up to $60k in money depending on your F3 level, as well as if you had the LE version of F3 a unicorn car is transferred over along with some other cars. Which gives you the Unicorn Hunter achievement.

Also picked up the season pass to go along with my LE version of F4.

Only had a couple hours of play time but did make level 8 (17 wins), and about 150k in credits. I've only had to spend $12k to buy a single car so far in order to race the events I wanted. I'm in season 3 (sportsman?).

"Hi! Welcome to Forza 4! Here, have a ZR1 and a Veyron!"

I like this game already.

/need to go buy point cards now

So, where did the endurance races go?

If you look through the event list grid, I bet they are still there.

Made it up to the Expert Series (14 races), Level 21, and 700k. Decided to buy an A class Ferrari (150k), as that was the only class other than R1 I am missing, and it helps me towards the Ferrari achievement.

Also took down most of bueller's Rival times. ;) :D
