Re: What Would the Super League Mean for FIFA 22?

@thefourfoldroot well that's how it's working its way atm with the fans, if you haven't seen the protests outside or Chelsea FC, banners being displayed saying RIP Liverpool, Chelsea etc because of these decisions by the owners. Players wearing t-shirts about the fact its wrong it's a massive impact on the game. It is disrespectful in regard to the smaller clubs which I said in my previous comment because you impede a club that should have ago at going into that league but don't have the chance to.

That is for sure that the other clubs would be able to join but then the big clubs wouldn't be in it either when they wanted to be in the super league plus the Champions League/Europe as well.

Tbf I don't disagree with your views on the super league I just don't think it's viable there is only a small group of people who think it's any good where as the majority think the super league is wrong.

Either way it's brought everyone together to stand against something most people didn't want.

@thefourfoldroot because the respect of the people including sponsors, fans, players and even managers, who will want to sponsor your team if everyone would boycott wanting to sell a shirt if everyone isn't going to buy it or no fans to even purchase that shirt they would lose even more money and dont forget the backlash of the length people go to, when not wanting to buy a brand for a certain reason and not only that they have said they will ban English players playing for England so then the players will leave their parent club to be able to play for their country again in a club outside of the super league and then who will want to join a super league if it just restricts them from any other competition, its just not viable its a much bigger picture than just playing in an additional league and also the games are packed as they are I don't know how you expect to play Champions League or Europa games in the week if they have a super league as well? Also they do league games in the week if their was a problem they couldn't play a match earlier in the season due to some formality it is just to crowded its not that simple.

it not that I don't understand you it is knowing that there is a bigger picture than just playing an extra league its about everything else included and how its it is also disrespectful to clubs that would want to play in it but cannot due to their rules to be able to join, its all big teams because that is where the money is not the smaller teams sad to say it but its true you don't see the likes of Southampton or West Ham for example being in it do you its just about money.

You earn the right to play in the Champions League so what what about Leicester who won the league recently is it just because they don't have money they don't deserve to be in it, it just isn't right at all, these big teams have history but so do some of the other clubs and clubs that could make history or being thrown into darkness just because they are not some fancy big club even though some smaller clubs have a better fanbase than the bigger clubs too with the passion and loyalty those are the ones who make football not the money or the owners.

@Flaming_Kaiser winning the premier league is a big amount of money with the same as the Champions league its a no brainer sticking to those terms its more about the fact if they join this super league then they will sell rights to China for games to watch just think charge $1 a game for example 150 million people subscribe that's $150 million for each club extra that's all they care about its not about the fans or the football which is what the football is exactly about the managers, players and fans, the owners just own the club they do nothing apart from sit in a board room where it doesn't get you the results its everyone else like I say the managers, players and the fans taking part its just money driven what will you do when your club has no more fans or the players want to leave then what will the club be able to play with if everyone goes then what happens to that league all the clubs will disappear eventually.

Well Barcelona's debt is over 1 Billion as it stands, as money and costs of players these days you have to spend over 100 Million to get a top class player but remember you will make that money back in shirt sales and revenue and turnover in profit by gate receipts or other forms of income which also helps balance.

Teams can spend 200 or 300 million in a transfer window and still make profits in the millions to come by the end of the season. Messi for Barcelona is on a 500k a week contract which is I agree to much money in football as it is ridiculous now anyway but then again in America they pay big money in American Football and other sports.

Man Utd for example are around 400 million in debt still with their owners but that money is still coming down because the profit they make from sponsors and everything else they have a massive contract with Adidas biggest in the Premier League for a shirt sponsor which will also help to bring funds in.

if it was fairer on the smaller teams then it would make sense to form a super league but when it doesn't involve many people or teams at all then their is no advantage whatsoever so it becomes unrealistic and just a pipe dream. When I was growing up I always would love to see a league with just the best teams playing to win but that's just being a kid and having fun.

@thefourfoldroot yeah only teams would earn their places to champions league and europa in the first 7 places of the premiership but not the super league even though that isn't going ahead anymore. Shocking really teams that actually won the european cup in the past we're not even invited to join.

I seen a comment someone made on Twitter recently saying Daniel Levy had convinced people Tottenham we're an elite club, its just silly really the choices that we're made to leave out teams that deserve to be in it anyway.

I am surprised though you would want it to happen, eventually it would just become boring watching the same teams week in, week out compared to maybe once in so many years that Liverpool will play Real Madrid for example and its not all the time as for how the Champions League works.

It's a good thing it is happening as its not about the money its about the fans if it wasn't for the fans those teams would be pointless really, then fans will just go watch someone else play.

Liverpool just lost a sponsor due to the plans of joining just imagine what everyone loses if they join it won't only be just fans or sponsors it will be players to and then end up being a crap league with no one to play for them because they would have lost the respect of most people and end up either going into liquidation or further debt over so long its not worth it that is why the form of the leagues is better where it stands.

Re: What Would the Super League Mean for FIFA 22?

@thefourfoldroot I mean all clubs want money but that also means that restricts the fact only 20 teams will receive any monies in the league where as all teams in the Premier league will benefit as all teams receive some form of money depending on where they finish after their 38 games, if those 6 teams were to leave it leaves the league feeling undervalued and why should teams that aren't as money orientated miss out on the European league just because of being a smaller club in Presidents Perez eyes of the super league leader. No promotion or relegation so no one else has the chance to play and win some form of money from it, alot of teams depend on the money from the big clubs also.

I personally feel teams that have years of history don't deserve it, the champions league for example is earned and you don't expect the right to be in it if you can't even get into it in the first place let alone win the cup.

It's ironic but in 1992 their were 5 big teams who wanted to breakaway from the Division 1 league which later formed the Premier league funnily enough Everton being one of them but now speaking up saying they don't want this super league to happen.

Just leave the leagues as they are and let fair play take its course.

Re: CDPR Posts Record Sales and Revenue Thanks to Cyberpunk 2077

@RubyCarbuncle well you are correct in the hype side of things, you have to imagine the detail they had originally shown off a long time ago how vibrant the city was with compared to the final product.

While people loved the game and see past its flaws it still doesnt take away the fact those real details in the reveal are not present, it's like Watchdogs when they had shown how truly amazing it looked then the game came out and looked not as good as the initial reveal but at least it wasn't a buggy mess like Cyberpunk is.

If you are going to draw in the crowds then at least give the people the game you are aiming to make not a broken mess and sadly I feel there are people out there that forget how great cyberpunk looked and how bad it actually become as it seems like they never thought about the initial reveal coz otherwise how can people really say this game is great without even thinking well this isn't the game I wasn't told I was going to get in reality, it's wrong really if you think about and thats why this game is just based on hype and bad experiences on that note but thats just my opinion on the game.

Re: PS Now's New Games Are PS4 Only, Sony Confirms No PS5 Upgrade Path

hoffa007

I have loved my ps5, but shamefully I feel and maybe others that Sony have left behind its users, last year and the previous year maybe even further that they didn't seem to bothered about announcing things which ok in some ways is a good way to show things build the hype but it seems with ps now and how they are dealing with this situation on not allowing the ps5 versions to be upgraded actually makes it seems all those announcements in the past on ps5 that they didn't really care seems that they have left us behind, maybe I am wrong. I don't think all bad of sony as I still love my playstation and always will but I don't understand what's happened when ps4 was announced how much work they had done now just seems to be lost in the last couple of years and now failing on the ps now front, thats without putting both sets of games on ps now and ps plus.
