"It’s funny what ends up staying with you for virtually your whole life. For me, it’s been sports games.
The obsession started with FIFA 98 in 1997 – I was 8 and the menu screen is still etched indelibly on my mind – and it’s just as strong today, with FIFA 19, Madden 19 and NBA 2K19. It’s taken in endless Pro Evo titles, various extreme sports games in the 90s (I even remember an extreme scooter game on the PS1), SSX, NBA Street, Jonah Lomu Rugby, Brian Lara Cricket and countless others that have long since faded into obscurity.
But, while the polygon counts have increased, new mechanics have been added, and the simulacrum of reality becomes ever shinier and more convincing, the central hook is still the same; pitting myself against the computer (or occasionally other players from all over the world) for hundreds of hours in a seemingly endless quest for virtual glory."

But who are they? Well, the the official FIFA 19 Team of the Week #46 that will be available in Ultimate Team packs for one week has now been confirmed. Is there anyone here you’d fancy adding to your team? Surely England's main man Harry Kane has got to get a place?"

The biggest FIFA 19 tournament has ended with a huge upset as the fifth-ranked PS4 player in the world, MoAuba, has become the FIFA eWorld Cup 2019 champion.
