At the intersection of the old and new years, FC 25 has recently launched a number of promotions to provide you with a better gaming experience. But among all EA FC 25 promotions, TOTY is undoubtedly the grandest and most popular.
This event is dedicated to rating all playable FUT 25 players in a year and selecting the best performing football players, so that you can use your FIFA 25 Coins in the future game to exchange for players that are both suitable for your game style and strong enough to help you win the game as much as possible.
Based on this, we will introduce you to how to participate in the promotion and a list of some nominated players.
As the biggest annual promotion of EA Sports FC 25, the team of the year (TOTY) aims to select the most influential and outstanding players in the game based on ratings and statistics, allowing them to shine and more prominently enter your player shortlist.
TOTY mechanics are the same as in previous versions of the game, where you can vote for 11 outstanding players from both the men’s and women’s teams. These selected players can then be included in the game as TOTY Player Items, giving them their own FC 25 commemorative value.
The game is expected to release attackers and TOTY Icons Team 1 on Friday, January 17, 2025. And the following contents will be announced in sequence gradually:
Other more specific schedules are not yet known, but the overall schedule should be similar to that of FC 24, so you can make FC 25 TOTY arrangements in advance based on last year’s schedule.
To vote, you first need to know that the event officially started on Tuesday, January 7, 2025, and will last until 11:59 pm PST on January 12, 2025. During this period, you can enter EA Sports FC TOTY website to vote. But remember, only votes sent during this time will be valid. If you are not sure what to do after entering the website, here are the steps we provide for you:
TOTY promotion will allow you and other players to select two teams of 11 players each, with the winners then entering the game as TOTY Player Items. Each item will not only receive a unique blue design and gold accents, but will also significantly improve the corresponding player’s in-game stats and ratings, making them the best FUT 25 players you can choose.
It is worth noting that EA Sports FC 25 will also provide an additional 12th player alternative position for each of these two teams to recognize outstanding players who did not make the starting lineup, and this voting is usually held at the end of TOTY promotion. In addition, FC 25 will also launch a TOTY Icons team composed of legendary players.
These special items from TOTY promotion will be available to you as sets after release. If you have enough FIFA 25 Coins, you can add these high-value TOTY players to your team. You can even sell players for profit to strengthen the strength of your team, because the best players of the year who win this vote will then become the most sought-after players in the game, so the assets they represent will become your important chips in the game.
All current nominees will be broken down by gender and then by their position in the field. Based on these categories, we will list the players we think may become the player of the year.
Goalkeepers:
Defenders:
Midfielders:
Attackers:
Goalkeepers:
Defenders:
Midfielders:
Attackers:
Of course, the above lists are just based on the performance of these players in the past year. In the specific voting process, you can vote according to your own judgment and preferences. Thank you for reading, and I sincerely hope that your favorite players can be successfully selected!
As one of the most successful MMORPGs in the world, Final Fantasy 14 has brought players a fulfilling and wonderful year in 2024. 2025 is coming, and FF14 may continue to build the world based on Dawntrail. Perhaps the mobile version of Final Fantasy 14 will be released in 2025, but the game progress in PC and consoles should remain ahead for quite a long time in terms of game content, so the following part focuses on the content that may be updated in PC and console versions.

Players may be able to wait for the main line update of Dawntrail in early 2025. The update may be released in Patch 7.2 on the day from March to April. The end of Patch 7.1 of Final Fantasy 14 left players with a suspense. A mysterious man appeared in Living Memory, and Warrior of Light may continue to investigate in Alexandria. The key ending may be released in mid-August to September, which is Patch 7.3.
Both patches will offer new dungeons, and in Patch 7.3 there will be a new Trial to fight against a foe that has yet to be unannounced.
Patches 7.2 and 7.3 will bring more raid content to players. Patch 7.2 will bring Cruiserweight Tier to the 8-player Arcadion raid series. This Cruiserweight Tier has Normal and Savage difficulties. Completing Arcadion’s Light-Heavyweight Tier on Normal mode is the prerequisite for players to unlock Cruiserweight Tier.
Echoes of Vana’diel alliance raid series will release the next chapter in Patch 7.3. Although it is not yet known what bosses players will encounter in these two series, it is certain that the bosses will become more powerful and players will need to update their FFXIV items.
In Final Fantasy 14, housing content has always been loved by players. Housing allows players to use their creativity and also brings profits, because in this game, land is limited. The land in each server has been occupied in advance by individual buyers and free companies.
Although it is not known whether the development team will add new housing areas in patches 7.2 and 7.3, the good news is that in these two versions, players can change the size of the interior space of the house through FF14 Gil, while the exterior will not change. For example, a medium-sized house can be upgraded to a large-sized house, and the corresponding number of furniture that can be placed should also increase.
Players will come to Shades’ Triangle at some point between patches 7.2 and 7.3. This will be the latest outdoor combat content. This outdoor action will be based on the real Bermuda Triangle, starting from Occult Crescent, a part of Shades’ Triangle, which may be the place where Dawntrail’s relic weapon quest begins. When players set foot on Shades’ Triangle, they will know what the development team has prepared for players.
The development team said Trials released after Dawntrail will be separate quests, independent of the main story, just like Heavensward through Shadowbringers, in addition to Trials battles in patch 7.3, players can earn some Gil and other rewards by completing the quests.
The development team is tight-lipped about this, but players should get some official news when patch 7.2 is released. Trials battles have a tradition of extracting materials from previous Final Fantasy series, for example, players can see Final Fantasy 7 weapons in Shadowbringers, and Heavensward has Final Fantasy 6’s trident. Weapons from Final Fantasy 9 and Final Fantasy 11 may appear in Dawntrail, as it has already borrowed a lot from these two works.
Currently, players know very little about the content of Cosmic Exploration, but this part has been announced to be released in Dawntrail, so players should be able to play this part in patch 7.2 or patch 7.3. According to the description of the development team, artisans and gatherers can see various planets and get help from interstellar races. If you want to get more information, you can follow the official follow-up live broadcast.
Dawntrail is expected to reach its end and climax in patch 7.3, and subsequent updates will pave the way for the Warrior of Light's next actions. Perhaps the story of 8.0 will take place between the southern lands of Meracydia and some unknown areas in the north of Ilsabard and Othard. The world of Etheirys is very vast, and there are many places where stories can be born. Players can look for clues between the previews of patches 7.2 and 7.3.
Beastmaster was announced at the 2024 Tokyo FanFest as the second confirmed Limited Job. However, the developers did not announce more content, which resulted in players knowing almost nothing about him at present. In any case, Beastmaster can debut in patch 7.4 at the earliest, which is about the winter of 2025, which is still a year away. Regarding the weapons and armor of this character, players need to get more information from the open group in subsequent versions.
FF14 has been running for many years, and players’ enthusiasm for this game has not diminished at all. Perhaps this is due to the fact that the development team knows what they are doing and what needs to be done. They will update according to the plan, which ensures the quality of the game. In any case, I look forward to Dawntrail bringing more exciting content to players in 2025.
Recently, the developer has officially announced an exciting news: New World: Aeternum Season 7 is coming soon, this is a brand new season, called Season of Conquerors.
It is revealed that the upcoming new season brings many new content and features, including PvP-focused Seasonal Worlds and some important upgrades to Expeditions.
At the same time, bugs that may occur during the game are also fixed to improve the player’s gaming experience.
New World was launched about 3 years ago. After its release, it achieved excellent results, but then the number of players showed a downward trend.
Despite this, the developer has not given up on upgrading and improving New World, and continues to provide New World players with many content updates and quality improvement services, including an expansion titled Rise of Angry Earth.
The expansion allows players to expand the basic game content of New World, including rideable mounts, new weapons, new quests, etc., to enrich the player’s gaming experience.
October 15th is a milestone day for New World. The developers released a new season - New World Aeternum. It re-enters the players’ field of vision with a brand new identity and many improvements.
Driven by this good news, the developers recently issued another exciting message to new and old players. New World Aeternum Season 7 is coming soon, which is a good start for the new year.
New World: Aeternum Season 7 will be launched on January 21, 2025. The new season will bring a series of exciting new features and new experiences to PC and console players.
In order to keep the game vibrant and attractive, the developers have enriched a lot of new content. One of the highlights worth noting is the introduction of Seasonal Worlds, which provides players with a brand new experience with unique themes, game rules, and mechanisms.
This Seasonal World focuses on PvP. You can only join PvP and flag for PvP when you are level 15. In addition, the ability to obtain powerful equipment and additional compensation will be dropped after your unfortunate death is introduced.
So, if you want to quickly upgrade to this standard to open the new feature experience, it is recommended that you can keep enough New World Aeternum Coins in advance to help you complete tasks faster in the game to achieve the upgrade goal.
The most exciting thing is that after this season, although these worlds will be closed, the characters you choose in this world will be able to be transferred to the permanent world of your choice!
It has been revealed that players can also look forward to some seasonal events, including Legacy of Crassus, Rabbit’s Revenge, and Siege of Sulfur event.
Legacy of Crassus is aptly named. You, as an adventurer need to challenge Roman general and his cyclopean allies to seize top loot and obtain upgrade rewards, including up to 700 Gear Score.
Rabbit’s Revenge is one of the fan favorites, and it’s back with new gameplay, including special rewards for hunting mischievously corrupted rabbits.
The new season also adds Siege of Sulfur, which requires you to team up with at least 10 max-level players to protect sandworm eggs from sulfurous enemies.
In addition, the developers have added a preview weekend section to Outpost Rush map for the new season, which gives you a sneak peek at the layout changes and new gameplay content after the game is updated.
In addition, for players with Season Pass, you can also unlock exclusive rewards, including free and premium tracks. You can not only have Hercyne-themed tool skins, mask skins, and tent skins, but also get Transmog Tokens, dyes, and consumables and New artifacts: Otzi and Heceta.
For players who prefer multiplayer combat, the new season also updates M3 Expeditions, including the introduction of unified equipment loadouts and an integrated matchmaking system for mutated expeditions to help you more easily and easily form a team to start your game journey.
If you are very interested in New World: Aeternum Season 7, which the developer has worked hard to launch, then set the alarm and look forward to its launch!
Last week, the much-anticipated Path of Exile 2 Early Access was finally released. In this brand new sequel, the new game content is certainly enough to attract players, but what makes players most excited is the addition of multiplayer and couch co-op!
The addition of this feature means that you can explore Wraeclast together with your friends or work together to defeat a very powerful boss. Although POE 2 offers a single-player exploration game mode, the pleasure generated by gathering friends and striving for a goal is far from being comparable to single-player exploration.
However, it should be noted that there are some game elements in multiplayer that differ from single-player games, such as the distribution of loot at the end of the battle and the situation of falling into battle. If you have never been exposed to couch co-op or multiplayer games, this guide will give you an introduction to all the processes in POE 2 so that you can call friends to explore at any time.
Multiplayer games, as the name suggests, means that you can explore the content in the game with other players besides yourself. So first, you need to make some friends. This does not mean your real-life friends, but game friends. You can enter Social Screen by holding down your J key or clicking the three-line button in the lower right corner of the screen.
At the bottom of this interface, you will see a Friend Invite box where you can enter the name of other players’ characters. After entering your friend’s name correctly here, press Enter, and he/she will become your game friend.
When this friend logs in to the game online, you will receive a message reminder. Then you can right-click the friend’s avatar on the friend list and select Invite to Party tab at the top of the list that appears to form your party.
Once the player joins your party, his/her avatar will appear on the left side of your screen. When you click the spiral below the avatar, you will be teleported to the location where your friend is locked.
It is important to note that all the loot you get during the exploration process is shared, not double loot. For example, when some POE2 Currency and loot drops on the ground after the enemy dies, there will be a brief window during which neither of you can pick it up, so there is no possibility of it being stolen.
At this time, you can discuss the ownership of specific loot in the party, because some gear is only useful for certain classes. Or you can trade loot with your teammates by right-clicking their avatar and selecting Trade tab. If it is initiated by the other party, you can just click Accept.
In addition, in multiplayer games, the health of the enemies and bosses on your face will be a little higher, but don’t worry too much. They are actually easier to defeat because they need to withstand two attacks each time. Along the way, you’ll also encounter some elite enemies that have names, which means they’ll be harder to defeat and worth your time to learn combat strategies.
Most importantly, in multiplayer, you can only access areas that you’ve unlocked. For example, if your teammate unlocks an area you’re not currently in during an operation, you won’t be able to reach the designated location via the spiral under your avatar. You must unlock that area before you can join it.

The most annoying and camaraderie-testing part of multiplayer is reviving someone when they die during exploration, so it’s important to understand how the revive system works in POE 2.
When your teammate is killed by an enemy, you need to stand in the golden AOE around their body and click and hold Revive button that appears above the body. Remember, you need to hold it down until they revive. If you are attacked by an enemy during the process, the process will also be interrupted, so try to stand in a safe area and use your time wisely.
Unlike forming a team in multiplayer games, Couch Co-op requires you to have two controllers and two characters. This means that you can explore POE 2 with your friends face to face without any network lag.
You’ll need to select Settings tab in the top-left corner of the character selection menu interface, then select Input at the top to switch to Controller. If no controller input is detected at this stage, this tab cannot be clicked, so please check your controller.
Once connected, you can click Controller #1 button and bind it to your first controller. Scroll down to Controller #2 and select Controller Device to bind the second controller. At this time, a pop-up window that says “Couch Coop Mode Enabled” will appear on the screen.
This means that you can now start exploring POE 2 with your friends with the help of this new feature. Remember to save this setting, and after you exit the menu interface, you can see your character and your friend’s character standing side by side in front of you.
There is a very important detail that you need to remember. You will not only share a screen during the exploration process but also share all POE2 Currency you have cultivated, which ensures absolute fairness!
The above is the specific process and matters that need to be paid attention to for multiplayer games and Couch Co-op that you can experience in POE 2. I hope that with the help of this new feature, you can experience unprecedented exploration fun and the rapid warming of friendship. I wish you a happy game!
If you like playing games with beautiful graphics like Elden Ring, then you may also be interested in animation. In fact, there are also many games that have been animated, such as Persona 4 and the recent Arcane League of Legends Season 2.
Although these animated works have mixed reviews, at least they were expected by game fans and animation fans before they were released. After all, most of the games that can be animated have a good background world view. The same is true for Elden Ring.
Do you remember how Elden Ring set off a wave of MMO games when it was just launched in 2022? This epic open-world dark fantasy RPG depicts a large-scale power struggle in Lands Between, allowing you to not only earn Elden Ring Runes in various thrilling battles but also read the entire in-depth game story through the plot.
The game developers of Elden Ring have not yet expressed their intention to make an Elden Ring animation, but you will find fans making related animation works on social apps and video sites, and the quality and response of the trailers are very good. So let us introduce this fan animation to you.
According to the fan animation trailer, the final product will be five minutes long, and more effort will be put into post-effects and overall production than the trailer. Although the game world and story settings of Elden Ring are too large to be presented in five minutes, it is enough to portray the core content represented by Queen Marika or Mohgwyn Palace settings.
In addition, the producer Steins Alter also said that he will make more detailed fine-tuning of various aspects of the animation production later. Including adjustments to lighting tones and realistic surface reflections, as well as the adoption of an artistic style suitable for the game world. The fan animation trailer currently includes 4 versions in English, Japanese, French and Portuguese, and the final work is expected to be released in the summer of 2025.
Sometimes the quality of an animation is closely related to the attitude of the creator. Although the popularity of a five-minute fan work cannot be compared with that of a full official series, Steins Alter still made a serious comment on the hasty production of anime in the trailer.
For example, Steins Alter mentioned that the second season of Blue Lock was not perfect because of the change of directors, tight production time, and limited animation resources, so it is normal for the evaluation of the entire animation series to drop.
Although fan animations do not have the obstacles such as limited production time, they may have to face a greater concern - copyright issues. At least recently, Berserk fan animation was canceled because of this issue, and you must hope that Elden Ring fan animation will not encounter similar problems.
If you watch the video released by Steins Alter on March 8, 2024 to announce the production of Elden Ring fan animation, you will find that he hopes to create works with high quality and rich emotions like the best animation studios.

Whether this ideal is feasible remains to be seen, because no matter how popular the final five-minute animation and thirty-six-second trailer are, they can only represent the success of Elden Ring fan animation alone. Reaching similar heights as the well-known animation studios is a distant and lofty goal.
As a MMORPG with a large open world and a complex storyline, Elden Ring gives you many paths to choose in the game. Therefore, from the perspective of an official animation adaptation, it is difficult to guarantee that all the storylines of Elden Ring can be fully presented.
However, a full-length Elden Ring animation series can actually focus on a cinematic retelling of one of the key questlines, such as Ranni the Witch. Her story is fascinating and presents an interesting Elden Ring journey, as Ranni’s orbit also includes wonderful characters such as Blaidd the half-wolf, Preceptor Seluvis, and War Counselor Iji.
However, Ranni’s story is just one of several stories that could benefit from an adaptation, and the backstories of Millicent, Fia, and Alexander the Iron Fist are equally fascinating. But if the game’s official intention is to make a full Elden Ring animation, there is actually a clearer and more explicit route that can be taken, which is to adapt Road To The Erdtree manga directly.
As an official manga, Elden Ring: Road To The Erdtree presents the experience of most players in the game in a comedic form. If you have seen it, you may have a lot of resonance. The focus of the entire comic story is Aseo, a funny but unfortunate Tarnished. The series is drawn by cartoonist Nikiichi Tobita. While perfectly reproducing the game world, it incorporates special humor and is completely worthy of being adapted into a full Elden Ring animation.
Of course, whether the official game animation will be released in the future, you can’t deny the efforts made by Steins Alter as a fan of the game. After all, making animation is not a simple task. Instead of speculating on the official’s thoughts, it is better to look forward to and support this Elden Ring fan anime.
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics is a currency in Final Fantasy 14 that provides a way for new and pre-Endwalker players to obtain past endgame gear. So, what do you need to know about Tomestones of Poetics? This article sorts out for you how to get and use Tomestones of Poetics in FFXIV.
Like FFXIV Gil, Allagan Tomestones of Poetics is a specific currency in FFXIV that you can earn in-game and exchange for some Final Fantasy XIV Items. Please note that players can only obtain Allagan Tomestones of Poetics after reaching level 50 and having at least one job or class.
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics mainly drop from level 50/60/70/80/90 dungeons, raids or trials. You can also get it from Tribal Quests, Hunt, Deep Dungeons and Field Operations.
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics can also be collected by completing Duty Roulette: Main Scenario, which can earn hundreds of Tomestones of Poetics.
This roulette usually sends you to one of the final dungeons in A Realm Reborn’s storyline. The quest is pretty straightforward, but it’s long, and you can take more than 40 minutes to complete. The cutscenes are not skippable, so this method may be tedious for some players.
Warriors of Light can also get Allagan Tomestones of Poetics by completing Aetherochemical Research Facility, a dungeon in FFXIV: Heavensward that is part of the MSQ expansion. It’s shorter than Duty Roulette: Main Scenario, but it can quickly get boring if you do it repeatedly.
Other effective ways to farm Allagan Tomestones of Poetics in FFXIV include:
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics are used to trade for crafting ingredients, augmented equipment sets, Orchestrion Rolls, and Minions after completing the final Main Scenario Quest of each expansion in the base expansion.
Of course, you can also use Allagan Tomestones of Poetics to redeem certain items and then sell them for Final Fantasy XIV Gil.
Each player can only carry a maximum of 2,000 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, so you should use them as soon as you get them. Here are the things you can redeem them for.
You can redeem Tomestones of Poetics at vendors for some high-level weapons and armour, which are usually the best gear you can get from a particular expansion.
The number of Tomestones required to redeem the strongest augmented equipment sets is higher, and you can use up Tomestones of Poetics quickly this way. Here are some of the strongest augmented equipment sets you can redeem.
In addition, you can also exchange for the following weaker equipment sets.
If you are crafting relic weapons, you will find that many weapon upgrade steps require specific items that need to be exchanged for Tomestones of Poetics. Exchanging these items is also a good way to use up Tomestones of Poetics.
If you really don’t know how to spend your Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, you can also use them to redeem some hard-to-get items and resell them, which can help you earn Gil. Of course, make sure the items you sell are allowed to be traded on the market board, as some items are not allowed to be traded.
There are two different types of merchants where you can redeem items with Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.
They use numerous menu-based shops to trade with you.
These merchants have specialized menus and sell more items than other merchants. In addition, you can also exchange Scrips for Gatherer or Crafter classes here.
These merchants are located in the following locations:
However, you need to complete some specific tasks to unlock them.
There are many ways to obtain Allagan Tomestones of Poetics, and there are many items that can be exchanged. I hope this article can help you. I wish you a happy journey in Final Fantasy 14!
In the upcoming Diablo 4 Season 7 PTR, the official showed some of the upcoming features and changes. At present, the update content of Season 7 is worth looking forward to.
Season 7 will draw inspiration from Diablo Season 2 and launch powerful new skills for players to learn. Unique runes and gem types can also be used to further enhance builds to help you win more easily in the game.
Even better, the much-anticipated Armory feature is finally available. This system should make it easier to save and swap loadouts in Diablo 4. In addition, Season 7 will also usher in some quality of life changes, and the player experience will be greatly improved.
It can be foreseen that these changes will bring a lot of fresh experiences to players. The following will introduce some of the updated content revealed by the game officials in Diablo 4 Season 7 PTR, including Witchcraft Power, Armory Tools, Class Buffs and so on. Let’s take a look!
The theme of Diablo 4 Season 7 is about Witchcraft Power. It follows Season of Blood, one of the most popular temporary leagues to date, and especially its Vampiric Powers. Similar to Season 2’s Vampiric Powers, characters can gain unique powers before the end of the season. Some of these powers can only be found in the world, and you need to find altars in dungeons and activate them.
These bonus powers are a great way to tweak and enhance builds, and it will help players create a more unique set of seasonal loadouts. In the next season, players will have access to new Witchcraft abilities.
The new Diablo 4 powers are divided into three schools. Psyche powers can disrupt and weaken enemies, Eldritch Powers are mainly used for you to deal or enhance your elemental damage, and Growth and Decay Powers include poisons, minions, and stat-draining skills. You’ll need these to deal with a series of dangerous new enemies - they’re called Headrotten, which are both normal enemies and boss enemies.
The main enemy of this season will be Headrotten. These are essentially “green Helltide” of Season 7, with some areas becoming areas where Fugitive Head and Headless Husk bosses can appear, and other Whispers of the Dead challenges to complete.
Killing them earns you Restless Rot. This unlocks and upgrades new Witchcraft powers and Occult Gems for your character. This process is much more streamlined than it was in Season 2.
Headrotten can also be found and killed in Headhunt areas like Helltide. These areas also double as Whispers. Earning reputation with the coven is tied to Whispers.
Many classes in the game have been buffed. Some of this is due to changes to how certain passives work.
As for Spiritborn, which has been a concern for players, there were several issues that caused it to be more powerful than expected in Season 6, and many players felt it was overpowered. This will improve once these issues are fixed in Season 7.
As with every new season, the loot pool will expand with new unique items, and some existing loot pools will be adjusted.
Another big new addition is Armory. Players have often called that Diablo 4 Armory is an in-development feature that would arrive eventually, and now it’s finally ready.
Armory offers five loadout slots per character, allowing you to save and load multiple loadouts per character, and each loadout can also have a different Paragon panel. Even better, once you’ve saved your loadouts, you don’t have to spend extra Diablo 4 Gold to switch between them - even if they require different paragon loadouts.
You can find Armory in a number of places, including Tree of Whispers, Sanctuary towns, and even within Citadel.
Players will see some quality of life changes in their Whispers grind in Diablo 4 Season 7, including the following.
In addition, there are very convenient features such as Raven of the Tree, and the player experience will be greatly improved by then.
These are some of the updates that may be launched in Diablo 4 Season 7. PTR client will be open from Tuesday, December 3 to Tuesday, December 10. This time, PTR will include seasonal content, not just core gameplay adjustments for the new season. PC players can try out the upcoming features and changes in it.
If you are interested in the updated content, you may wish to experience it in Diablo 4 Season 7 PTR first. But as usual, you need to log in to Battle.net to join it.
Cheating is rife in online gaming, and it affects almost every popular game. EA FC 25, a popular football simulation game, faces the same challenge. For players on PC, encountering hacker attacks in multiplayer mode is almost a daily occurrence.
Such problems also plagued Call of Duty and Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, with many players trying to gain a competitive advantage through illegal means. In contrast, PlayStation 5 (PS5) users are relatively lucky and are rarely affected by these unfair behaviors unless they actively enable cross-platform gaming.
FUT 25 running on PC version inevitably attracts many malicious players to participate, and this problem is far more complicated than imagined.
After experiencing a series of unusual market activities, the circulation of FUT 25 Coins, the in-game currency of Ultimate Team PC platform, has experienced significant abnormalities. Many senior players and traders began to suspect that hackers used multiple temporary accounts to repeatedly complete FUT Champions, thus accumulating large amounts of coins, and eventually transferred these coins to one or several major accounts.
After joining Discord server of a cheating service provider and observing the communication content within the community for several days, we found that there are many well-planned and highly professional cheating methods and strategies hidden in ordinary chat rooms. These methods include but are not limited to using scripts to automate complex operations, creating false match records to deceive the system detection mechanism, etc.
Especially in a first-person shooting game environment like Warzone, the application of certain skills can make players almost invincible. For example, no matter how the enemy attacks, it cannot cause damage to it, or the player can clearly see the location information of all surrounding hostile players.
However, compared with the more obvious and easily detectable violations in FPS games, in sports simulation games like EA Sports FC 25, it is more difficult to identify whether the opponent is using illegal programs. Because the amount of data involved in this type of game is huge and complex, including but not limited to player attribute value adjustment, tactical layout optimization, and other aspects.
In addition, some advanced skills, such as accurately predicting the opponent’s next move and making layout arrangements in advance, are often regarded as part of high-level competition rather than a direct violation of the rules.
After further investigation and analysis, it was discovered that players who perform exceptionally well in Ultimate Team matches may be gaining an advantage by using a mod that changes the gameplay slider. This mod allows cheaters to adjust the game settings to their needs, thereby changing the way their own players and opposing players behave in matches.
For example, hackers encouraged players to lower “shot error” to its lowest setting. This incredible accuracy makes it easy to score every time they take a shot from a legitimate position. Hackers intentionally tweak settings in less-obvious ways, making it difficult for many players in certain Ultimate Team matches to determine whether their opponents are actually using illegal means, even if they suspect their opponents are cheating.
In FUT Champions, hackers earn large amounts of FIFA 25 Coins by deploying specific strategies and applying them repeatedly on multiple accounts. According to a very active member of Discord chat room, they managed to earn 2 million coins during a single Weekend League alone.
This phenomenon of unusually high amounts of gold flowing into specific accounts has caused the prices of top players in EA FC 25 game to continue to rise, to where many rare cards have become difficult to obtain.
While the video game market is always changing at a fast pace, and we’ve all encountered opponents who appear to be using unfair means to play, I’m still surprised by how much effort hackers are willing to put into it and how serious the problem is. And given the number of channels offering cheating services, one can imagine the scale of the challenge the industry may face.

Although EA FC 25 does employ an advanced anti-cheat system to detect and flag accounts that use unfair means. However, despite such measures, hackers still appear to cheat through network vulnerabilities, especially in Ultimate Team.
The strategy usually adopted by these hackers is to first cheat on a temporary account, and then transfer the accumulated game currency to other accounts. Even if the temporary account is identified and banned by the system, they can quickly create a new account to continue. Engage in inappropriate activities.
In order to solve this problem more effectively, some people have proposed to learn from the hardware banning system implemented by Warzone in recent years. Different from the simple and crude method of just freezing the game account of the offending player, this mechanism will directly lock the entire computer device, making the machine no longer able to run relevant game software.
In this way, unless a new hardware configuration is replaced, the punished will lose the opportunity to participate in online battles.
By raising the cost of violation, it can indeed reduce the number of players willing to take risks and try illegal operations to a certain extent. In addition, this also sends a clear signal to the community that officials will take a more severe approach to crack down on behavior that undermines the level playing field.
In short, EA FC 25 can only avoid losing PC market if it takes action as soon as possible.
Since its launch, although Diablo 4 Season of Hatred Rising and the expansion Vessel of Hatred have received a lot of praise, they still have some bugs and various unbalanced mechanism settings. Based on this, the game developers said in the campfire chat last week that they will fix these problems in the mid-season patch.
Now, the game has officially released the mid-season patch. In order to help you better adapt to Diablo 4 series after the patch, we will introduce you to some of the core contents of the patch.
Diablo 4 introduced major changes in Season 6 last month, including the well-received adjusted Paragon system. In addition, other features, such as new difficulty settings and item quality improvements, have also won a lot of praise. Although Diablo 4 Season 6 has received a positive response, the game developers still choose to improve the game through the mid-season update patch and solve unresolved problems, reflecting Diablo 4’s continuous efforts to further optimize your experience.
This mid-season patch is actually Diablo 4 2.0.5 patch. This update has focused on enhancing Mythic Unique items, Legendary Aspects, and many other aspects. For example, Shattered Vow now increases continuous damage by 44%, and the damage caused by Andariel’s Visage has also increased from 3000% to 4000%. Other Mythic items, such as Penitent Greaves, have their effects enhanced, including a three-fold increase in freezing effect.
Based on the problem that the new class Spiritborn is too powerful, which was previously reported by players in the game community, the game developers have overall enhanced all classes in the 2.0.5 patch to narrow the gap between them and avoid other classes need Diablo 4 Gold to get weapons powerful enough to match the Spiritborn.
Among them, Barbarian has received major enhancements, such as an 80% increase in the damage of its skill Ground Stomp and a 120% increase in the damage of Upheaval. Druids have had their Tornado spirit consume reduced, and their Grizzly Rage and Rabies abilities improved.
Not only that, this patch also significantly buffs Necromancer from Season of Hatred Rising, especially skills like Decompose, Hemorrhage, and Bone Storm, as well as buffs to passive skills like Evulsion and Gloom.
For Rogue class, there are also a variety of very effective improvements, including a 70% increase in damage to Twisting Blades and a 50% increase in Penetrating Shot damage against elites.
In addition, this patch also addresses several previous game bugs that existed in Rogue class, including an issue where Shadow Clones with Imitated Imbuement aspects could not cast basic Imbuement skills as expected. And the 2.0.5 patch also introduces a various quality of life improvements, such as fixing inventory sorting and adding more accurate Masterworking in progress feedback.
The bugs that need to be fixed in this patch cover many aspects of Season 6, and are very detailed. It can be seen that the game developers strive to improve the quality of the entire game series through updates in order to bring you a higher level of Diablo 4 experience.
In the sixth season, there are mainly Dark Citadel and Kurast Undercity as new events and new dungeons for you to explore. If there are bugs in the operation of their mechanisms, it will greatly reduce your experience in the new season. Therefore, this patch has made the following fixes to them:
Dark Citadel:
Kurast Undercity:
Other quests and events:
Runes: Lith Runes’ effects should not be activated when using skills outside of combat, but Diablo 4 had this issue before. Thankfully, this has been fixed with the mid-season patch.
Spiritborn: This new class was marking enemies slower than expected with Nesekem, the Herald, which has been fixed with the 2.0.5 patch.
Strongholds: Previously, the new season had issues with Kirma in Kichuk Fortress being able to teleport outside the boss arena and hinder progress; other party members being unable to join Kichuk’s ongoing boss fight; and Healing Well in Kichuk not being usable. These have now been fixed with the patch.
After our introduction, I believe you have a deeper understanding of this mid-season update. Thank you for reading.

As a highly anticipated large-scale MMORPG, New World has always had a considerable number of loyal fans. And its new version, New World Aeternum, has been expected by industry insiders and all New World series players since the release of the relevant news.
When New World Aeternum was officially launched and tested by players, most people said that their wait was worth it. Compared with the past, New World Aeternum has obviously made effective optimizations to various game mechanisms and content.
In such a new version, whether you need to farm New World Aeternum Coins to get some powerful equipment to face new powerful enemies, or like those more relaxed gameplay, you can do it. And the overall experience will be more comfortable than in the original version of New World.
Based on this, we will introduce you to some of the most prominent new advantages of New World Aeternum at present, so that you can understand this huge update.
As an MMO game that always insists on attracting players and meeting their demands, New World series has been committed to making the game style more diversified from the beginning, so that the game can not only meet the needs of players who like group combat but also help the gaming experience of single players.
Compared with various PVP activities in groups, although single players do not have an advantage in combat, they can more freely open up some new gameplay, such as dungeon exploration, single-player surface world exploration, handicraft production or 1v1 PVP. In these aspects, New World Aeternum has basically been updated to meet the needs of single-player mode enthusiasts.
In addition, all available classes in the game are suitable for single-player games, and all major quest line content can also be completed alone under these classes. Compared with the original version, this change means that Aeternum no longer needs more group dungeons to complete the main story, and replaces the previously indispensable group dungeon link with a more complete single-player game.
Despite the nice update to the single-player mode, this does not mean that the game has given up on helping players cooperate to fight. In fact, Aeternum is still committed to providing players with a classic MMO experience, giving them more opportunities to team up with friends or strangers to take on various challenges and trials to get more advanced equipment and loot.
Not only that, New World Aeternum is now also available on PS5 and Xbox One X. In this way, on the one hand, the number of players has increased by broadening the playing channels, giving players the opportunity to get more team options; on the other hand, cross-platform compatibility ensures that all players who share servers and regions can browse the game’s team content. Not all MMORPGs can do this at present.
If you have played the original New World, you may have noticed that the story lines of some missions in the game are not complete, lacking sufficient logic and details. Although this does not affect the amount of rewards you get after completing the mission, it is still a defect after all.
On this basis, the updated New World Aeternum adds plot-related micro-movies and cutscenes to such missions, making the mission stories easier to understand while maintaining the rhythm.
In this way, it is also conducive to building and further improving the details of the world view such as magic rules, fantasy races, faction relations, etc. in the game. This makes the background story of the entire game more complete, players will have a stronger sense of immersion when traveling through it, and new players can use it to better understand the game.
Combat is a vital component of any MMO game, and the quality of the combat experience is often one of the evaluation criteria of the game. Based on this, New World Aeternum has optimized and adjusted some settings based on the old version.
Now, when you enter the game, you will find that the combat process is more natural and smoother than in the past, and it has lost no combat characteristics or skill synergy of MMO games.
And compared with standard MMO games, the change of Aeternum is that it no longer simply binds skill settings to specific keys, but uses the locking function to enhance the unique rhythm of players tapping the keyboard during combat, and effectively combines long-range and melee combat.
If you have followed the game’s official website or official social platform account, you will find that New World Aeternum has been added with many updates and patch notes based on the old version. This means that after optimization, the game will bring a smoother and unimpeded gaming experience.
However, besides the patches that have been added, as the game is released on multiple platforms, Aeternum may still need some debugging based on the data and performance reflected by actual tests. But this does not affect the significance of this update. Because its game mechanism itself has a unique charm, it will only be further enhanced after good optimization.
The above are the most praised optimization performances of New World Aeternum. After the introduction, do you want to experience this game yourself? Then don’t hesitate, act quickly!
Dear Diablo fans, I believe you have also paid attention to the recent information about the upcoming Path of Exile 2 Early Access. However, many Diablo 4 players refuse to consider trying it. This is largely because POE 2 is basically the opposite of Diablo 4, whether it is the extremely scary game atmosphere, the convoluted main story, or the extremely difficult endgame adjustment that will make you cry for the precious world of Sanctuary.
So what about you? Have you considered giving up everything you love in Diablo 4 to play POE 2? With this in mind, we are here to discuss all the reasons why you absolutely hate Path of Exile 2. Buckle up and let’s go!
First, let’s talk about freedom. In Diablo 4, you have a nice and neat skill tree, you can randomly select some abilities, maybe swap out one or two Legendary Aspects, and then enjoy the game. Your build is simple, clean, and easy to manage.
But Path of Exile 2 is the exact opposite. GGG doesn’t believe in simplicity, they give you a huge passive skill tree, which looks complicated and difficult to manage. You have to spend more time to understand and master it to ensure that the build you create is not a poor character in the end. If you are willing to challenge the difficulty, then good luck.
Let’s start talking about Skill Gem System. The developers of POE always seem to think about how to make the skills as complex as possible. For example, add some Support Gems to it, mix them, and link them. This means that your build is either brilliant or a complete disaster. However, the latter is often more likely.
If you have enjoyed the game experience in Diablo 4 where you can run around, slam buttons, and then everything will die, you may be disappointed in POE 2. Path of Exile 2 wants you to use your brain. In PoE 2, you need to plan your build, consider your resistance, balance your equipment, and think about strategy. Here, if you are not fully prepared for the battle, you are dead. If you don’t check your elemental resistance, then you’re going to have a hard time surviving enemy fireballs.
You know what the good thing about Diablo 4 is? You can get some loot here and there, especially some common items, which appear very frequently. But in PoE 2, you can say goodbye to that simplicity. You have to stay focused at all times and check every item carefully. Do you think upgrading your equipment in Diablo 4 is also a challenge? In PoE 2, it is no exaggeration to say that you need a doctorate in Alchemy and Suffering to understand how to make and earn PoE2 Currency.
And in Diablo 4, because it is like a guided tour through hell, you have clear quest markers, a useful map, and everything points in the right direction, which means you never feel lost. With Path of Exile 2, they just throw you into this huge and dangerous world. There is no hand-holding guidance here. You need to rely on your wisdom to figure out where to go and what to do next. They want you to explore and discover things on your own.

If you’ve made it to Diablo 4’s endgame, congratulations, you can now auto-play through Nightmare Dungeons, Pit and Helltides. But in PoE 2, the endgame is a whole different kind of difficulty.
You don’t just go through the same dungeons repeatedly, now you have to navigate the map, mod them, and face off against stronger and tougher bosses who don’t care about your easy farming sessions in the endgame. It’s almost like Path of Exile 2 wants you to keep challenging yourself, while the endgame is designed to break you. It’s like an endless maze of pain, with layers of bosses, modifiers, and mechanics that make your head spin. You need to keep grinding, optimizing, and pushing your build to the limit.
And what about those bosses in PoE 2? They’re not the friendly dungeon bosses from Diablo 4 that politely signal an attack. These guys have a million mechanics that will kill you in one blow if you blink.
But if that’s not your thing, maybe sticking with Diablo 4 is a better option, as its endgame is more like a casual Sunday stroll.
Let’s be honest, one of the best things about Diablo 4 was Cosmetics Shop. As long as you had enough Diablo 4 Gold, you could dress up your character with different accessories while still smashing demons. But in POE 2, all you get is a stash tab to store your massive loot collection and equally awesome cosmetics. But where’s the fun in that? No pay-to-win shortcuts? No boosters to finish the game quickly? It’s boring.
Finally, let’s talk about content. Now, Diablo 4 is a great game that’s simple and easy to manage. But the different expansions, leagues, events, and systems in POE make it hard to keep up. Do you really want to be bombarded with content updates and new leagues that completely change the way you play? That’s just too much work.
Overall, POE 2 is just too complex for most players. Too much to think about, loot management, and gameplay. Everything is simple in Diablo 4. Not only is the world easy to navigate, but the game will hold your hand and guide you step by step to the end. Unless, of course, you are really looking for a real challenge, a game with depth, complexity, and constant updates to keep it fresh. If you can really handle it, we also look forward to seeing you in Wraeclast.
