Since the launch of EA FC, there has been quite a content galore in the game. Within this article we will be taking a look at 5 players you must try out from this promo.

EA FC: Who Are The Top 5 Players One Must Try Out From The Thunderstruck Event?

One must note that in this article we aren’t going to talk about the best cards in the promo. This is because most of them cost over 2 million coins which is quite tough to obtain in the game. Unless someone is paying to buy FC points it is quite unrealistic to expect players to have that much money in the game. Instead, we are going to talk about players who can be used for all casual players as well as professionals of the game.

Juan Cuadrado

The first player on our list is none other than Juan Cuadrado. One of the best right-backs in this game as well as in the previous edition of this game. Looking at his face card stats, he has 93 Pace, 78 Shooting, 83 Passing, 89 Dribbling & 80 Defending. Cuadrado can play in 3 positions which are RB, RWB, and RW. Due to his card being quite balanced ideally, you could play him in a 5 at the back as a wingback. Due to his High/Low work rates, it would be rare to see him tracking back as well when required. Another point to note is that due to his low stamina, many players will need to substitute him by the 67th minute.

Alphonso Davies

Currently one of the best Canadian players to have ever played football, We have Alphonso Davies. Every edition of this game he has been the go-to left-back for a lot of professional players in the world. Taking a look at his face card stats, he has 96 Pace, 81 Passing, 86 Dribbling, and 79 physical. Due to his 4-star weak foot and skill moves, he can be played quite easily out of position on any part of the pitch. Davies can play in the LM, LB & LWB positions thus allowing him the flexibility to play in all formations available in the game. Due to having Quick Step as his Playstyle Plus, you will see him accelerate at a faster pace when compared to players without this trait and having the same stats. Currently, his card is valued at 748,000 coins.

Marie Katoto

Marie Katoto might now officially be another reason why players will be trolled during pack openings. Due to being in the same club and nation as Mbappe, there have been multiple instances where players feel they have placed him but instead, it's Marie. It does feel like EA has gone one step forward and given her a promo card to maybe soften the burn. Looking at her face card stats she has 85 Pace, 90 Shooting, 80 Passing & 86 Dribbling. There is another aspect to her card which comes concerning heading. While she has a 5’10” frame in EA FC, her card has 96 heading accuracy & 97 jumping with the Power Header Playstyle as well. With her 4 star skill moves & weak foot as well as having High/Low work rates, she does qualify to be a cheap beast. Currently, she is valued at 70,000 coins.

Kadidiatou Diani

The second last card on this list is Kadidiatou Diani.  This is the point in the list where the prices of the cards start to skyrocket. She has 4 start skills as well as a weak foot. She can play in the RW, RM, and ST positions in EA FC. Her face card stats are as follows 90 Pace, 86 shooting, 85 Passing & 89 dribbling. With the High/High work rates, she is undoubtedly one of the best RWs currently available in the game. Currently, her card is valued at 1.2 million coins and anyone will understand why. Having the Trivela Playstyle Plus with the Finesse Shot Playstyle is the cherry on top of her card.

Vinícius Júnior

Finally, the card which if possible everyone must try out is none other than the EA FC Mobile cover star himself, Vinicius Junior. The Brazilian winger has been one of the best wingers to watch play in any competition recently. Looking at his face card stats he has 96 Pace, 84 shooting, 80 Passing & 91 dribbling. These stats don't show the full story as he also has 86 stamina, 5-star skill moves & 4-star weakfoot. The interesting part about his card is that EA has reduced his passing stats when looking at his base card stats to provide a boost to the rest of the card. Currently on the market he is valued at 3.9 million coins which is incredibly very high. As such we suggest you wait until EA provides a SBC to obtain a Thunderstruck player in the game.

Palworld iOS Confirmed, What Can We Expect?

Palworld will soon be playable on iOS devices but there is no confirmation about when the game will be available for Android phones. Palworld was found in the "Coming Soon" section of the App Store with the Palworld iOS expected release date as February 4, 2024. In a now-deleted Reddit post, a user mentioned that the game is now available for pre-order and will be available in the store soon. The price of the game for iOS is also now sure.

Palworld is an open-world survival game that has over 100 Pals in the game that players can tame and capture. To capture the Pals, players will have to fight them against their own Pals, which are hopefully at a much higher level and will be able to defeat the wanted Pal. From that moment on, players must strategically throw the Pal Sphere to capture the Pal.  As soon as the game garnered millions of downloads, Pokemon Company released a statement that they will be investigating a game that has assets similar to their game, but didn't name the game, but fans were quick to figure out which game they were referring to. 

For now, the game is available on Steam and Xbox for $29.99. Players interested in playing the game can download it from either of the platforms or wait until Palworld comes for iOS devices.

All employees of Annapurna Interactive have resigned from the company following a leadership shuffle last week. Publisher heads Nathan Gary, Deborah Mars, and Nathan Vella were not the only ones to leave their chairs; the entire staff team also followed suit.

According to Bloomberg’s report on the matter, the staff resignation followed a dispute with the company owner. Annapurna Interactive president Nathan Gary was engaged in a negotiation with Larry Ellison's daughter, which ended unsatisfyingly for the company.

All of Annapurna Interactive Staff Resign Following Failed Negotiation 

Annapurna Interactive president, Nathan Gary aimed to stick to a deal of making the video game division an independent entity. However, Ellison pulled out of the negotiation, which led to not only the heads resigning, but the entire staff team from Annapurna. Gary and the management team from the company added in one of their statements:

“All 25 members of the Annapurna Interactive team collectively resigned”

Despite being a relatively small video game studio, Annapurna Interactive has given the industry some of the most memorable titles in recent years. Some of their most notable works include games like, Stray, Outer Wilds, What Remains of Edith Flinch, and Ashen.Gary also added more to his statement following the resignation, stating:

“This was one of the hardest decisions we have ever had to make and we did not take this action lightly.”

Another spokesperson from Annapurna Interactive also confirmed that the two negotiating parties initially worked on a spin-off division for the company, however, they failed to reach an agreement confirming its initiation. This news has been a bit chaotic for the developers involved with Annapurna, as they are unsure what the future is for the upcoming projects. Annapurna was responsible for various involvement in games, including services like quality assurance, local market distribution, and marketing.

With the recent news of the studio resigning, there has been no word from the management team regarding the projects. That said, Ellison has told Bloomberg that their primary goal is to assist the team with their transition and support them till it's complete. The new president of the company, Hector Sanchez has mentioned that despite the dissolution, the company will honour its “existing contracts”. This is good news for the studios involved with Annapurna, as they can continue working on their future projects.

Treyarch and Raven Software delivered an extremely satisfying experience to gamers with the Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Open Beta last week. Moreover, after the tepid fan response from recent COD titles such as Modern Warfare 3, fans are desperately looking for a refreshing Call of Duty experience from the developers.

It seems the Black Ops 6 Open Beta did exactly that, offering fans new game modes, weapons, a fluid movement style, and a decent campaign to look forward to. The Open Beta lets players enjoy the latest 'omnidirectional movement', where one can sprint, dive, and slide in any direction they desire.

With the Open Beta over, Call of Duty Black Ops 6 is also ready to bring a brand new campaign set in the early 1990s. Fans can enjoy the story mode with the official release on October 25, 2024. Activision has described the campaign to be a "dynamic and intense spy thriller", highlighting the iconic Black Ops theme from the previous games. Call of Duty Black Ops 6 will be available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Moreover, gamers can also catch the game on day one through the PC Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate.
