As explained in the previous post, the topsy turvy footy gaming situation has left me in a limbo, unsure of what to play and when, due to new consoles, release dates, modding availability etc, so it is what is is and as a result, i find myself here, playing a heavily modded PES 21 on… Continue reading Shake Yer Maracas

The Business End
It's that time of the season, March 2024 in my Career mode world to be precise, approaching the 30th game mark, the business end, where teams fight to avoid relegation, or fight for titles and trophies, luckily enough, we are involved in the latter of the two. This is the league table as it stands… Continue reading The Business End

Mine’s a Corona
Season Three strides on, we are hovering just outside the European places, as we approach mid-Feb, are through to the KO stages of the Europa league where we face Portugese giants Benfica in the last 32, and since the last post, we have crashed out of the FA Cup. We beat Spurs in a comfortable… Continue reading Mine’s a Corona
It just keeps getting better ….
Matches are coming thick and fast in this PC Modded Palace Career Mode, I'm already approaching December in season two, and the games just seem to get better and better. Rotating players where possible is key, keeping the same lineup week in, week out will inevitably lead to injuries, playing with the FIFER realism mod… Continue reading It just keeps getting better ….
Halfway House
Season one of my PC modded Crystal Palace Career Mode has come to an end, it has been a thoroughly interesting and enjoyable season, largely thanks to the PC platform and customization options it affords the player. FIFA 18 and 19 were both very good, enjoyable games with 19 specifically aimed much more towards the… Continue reading Halfway House
