I played Fifa on my friend's Xbox the other day. We had to wait for an active connection before we could play each other. Players were removed from the roster because of updates from the server. Once his game pass was verified, we still had to log out and log in a few times, navigate the strange menu hierarchy to actually play against one another. Same pattern when trying to play NHL, same with Madden.
I remember when you used to buy a sports game, and everything you needed just loaded from the disk. Menus were easy, and you were two clicks away from starting an offline game.
This is why FitGirl repack's are a god-send. Declutters the bullshit, repacks the parts you actually want, and let's you play the game like you're not renting it on the whims of a fussy game lord.
+1 for FitGirl the GOAT! I wish I had money to throw her way, because the work she's doing is great and I hope she can keep it up for a long time to come.
Ditto and ditto. She's the best games archivist this world has
