RetroYuuki Commentates: The Curse of Ultimate Team/ My Team
1#RetroYuukiCommentates #RetroYuuki
Welcome to RetroYuuki Commentates. In this series, we dive deep into video game topics / streaming topics in terms of how they work, how it affects gaming, and more.
Today, we get started with The Curse of Ultimate Team (FIFA AND MADDEN) / My Team (NBA 2K) and how they get you to spend money for highly desired rewards such as players like Messi (FIFA), LeBron James (NBA 2K) , and Aaron Rogers (NFL). In addition, we go into readings about how far players will go to get their favorite player, and also look into the ESRB and PEGI and how they rated FIFA. One game outside of sports, Pokemon Yellow, actually got a PEGI 12 in Europe (T for Teen in the ESRB) due to "gambling", and why a lot of people got upset.
