Do FC 24 has Brazil Serie A has real face scanned for every players?

EA is so ass about this, I remember playing FIFA 22, testing J1 to see how "accurate" it is. And my lord, most of the faces are messed up and generic. I know they can face-scanned every players from every leagues but at least make a face that resembled the players :

Also isn't Brazil NT doesn't have accurate face squad list?

BTW the Kabum is owned by Magazine Luiza one of the biggest retailers here with big stores (over 500m2) in almost all cities in state of São Paulo at least.

Whatever @Welfare believes they don’t have space to stock that amount of PS5 is bullshit.

They can easily stock 30k PS5…and that easy happens in Black Friday or Christmas period.

The retailer probably sold 30k PS5 at Black Friday and the marketing team made the news with what famous monument they can fit these into.

Not the stupid ideia that they inflated to fit the tower lol
I used to watch league of legends e sports and there was a team called Kabum e sports that everyone loved. They beat one of the best european teams at the time and that was a huge deal

We have a really big LoL community.

PS. I forget to say something..: these PS5s were being sold at cheaper price than Series S… Yeap Series S at Black Friday here.

I have no ideia who told MS that the double price rise was a good ideia 😂😂😂

In the end, everyone knows they're going to lose to the Koreans, or possibly a Chinese team where most of the members are Korean imports 😂
I actually don't understand why Koreans are so dominant at Esports, MOBA specifically

Chinese has more population, shit ton of players. Same for SEA regions.

It's not like physical sports when it highly dependant on facilities either.

It started with Starcraft 2, AOE. Some of the best MOBA players migrated from RTS.

There are several factors. The biggest one is that in S. Korea, e-sports is more popular than actual physical sports. Faker is more popular than Messi, Ronaldo, LeBron, etc. Which inspires people to work harder, no other region has that type of admirations for gamers. Another thing, South Korea has amazing internet and a PC Bang culture where it's normal for people to spend 8 hours a day in a PC bang and just play League of Legends all day. In other countries, that stuff is frowned upon. And since its such a tiny country, the game servers are centralized unlike in other regions like North America where if you live on one side of the country, you play with much higher ping than someone else that's closer to the servers. Everyone in Korea plays with very low ping which naturally makes them better. Places like China and Europe have several different sub-regions which fragments the player base and forces them to play with higher ping. North America only has 1 server which is stupid for such a massive continent. Lastly, e-sports is so serious in South Korea, the only way to create a League of Legends account is by entering your real life identification number and if you're a foreigner you need an ARC (alien registration card). This makes the barrier of entry to have an account much higher which deters people from trolling and making 100 different accounts, unlike in other regions.

Yes, United States does as well, I thought every country did that? 😂
There is no “alien” in Portuguese but I always thought it was related to “alienígena”.
For outsiders from the Earth planet we call them “estrangeiros” while outsiders from another continent planet “alienígena”.

So in the urban terms we use ”alien” to refer to “alienígena” and not “estrangeiros”.

It is kinda an offense to call somebody “alien” here… it is like saying your are not from this planet.

And to be fair Hollywood made us believes alien are just that:

People have said that the term alien is offensive here too so they've started saying "undocumented immigrants", but alien is still the more popular term. I can see why people would think it's offensive, but the US has always been a racist country. But once you receive permanent residence status, you're no longer an alien 😄

that's not quite true. you get a green card which has an alien registration# on it, and when you get your citizenship you're a "naturalized alien".

Most likely the mod Judge or one of the other MS astroturfers on their payroll.

Welfare is used to getting away with his shit math on installbase because they eat up any negative PS5 numbers as gospel. Funny to see it not work anywhere else.
