Pokken is trash can we put it in the Hall of hate?
I wouldn't be surprised if the sentiment behind the votes was "Let's do FIFA Story Mode so the Allies will make fun of it."
This is probably exactly what it is lol. Remembering Alex Hunter on stage and such at E3.
I think the driving factors are 1. Not wanting to see Pokken again, and 2. Huber saying "let's kick some goals!" a few weeks ago. Not a full blown EZA meme but maybe a mini-meme.
Personally, I don't really care about soccer but I thought the Madden story mode was so good I wanna see what the FIFA one is all about.

They may as well leave now because it's going to get "political" when they stream The New Colossus.

I was catching up on Maximilian's stream last night and caught that easyallies subbed to his channel. Which is pretty cool since Max has subbed to EZA for a while. And then their chat started posting L&R responses. Cool moment
Dunno what Spin Masters is but I'm voting for it over the other two
I have done the same thing. I don't think a Fifa Story mode will make a good stream and we already had Pokken group streams before. But as far as I can see, it's going to be either Fifa or Pokken.
Not sure which one of those I prefer to be honest for a group stream. If I had to choose to play one of these 3 myself, I would certainly choose Fifa, but for a groupstream, I think a game like Spin Master will probably work best.
No point in putting an option that probably wont get voted for lol.
They could make something from nothing & walk away with new EZMemes or whatever.

Checks the votes. Oh look what's winning. What a surprise
FIFA was winning at the start.

Well, to be fair, the other choices are pretty crap.
Like, literally anything else would be better than those 3 choices....

It's not like they're locked into playing the story mode for two full hours, they could probably quit out and play an exhibition match after a while. But with Pokken, we're stuck watching that mess no matter what, unless Don graces us with a last minute change like the last tournament.

I posted a while back that I'd love to see Huber or Bosman do a full playthrough of FIFA's Journey mode, but I'd more than settle for a group stream of it.
It's utter shite, so it'd be very good to see their take on the whole thing.

Not really. Last Pokken stream was fantastic and the other options are terrible.
Since I like the original FIFA story mode, I don't know why I would vote for spoilers.

I completely agree with this. A little tired of fighting games.
Because we already had a pokken stream, I would probably choose Fifa as a second pick.
That said, an other problem with sports games is that most of them don't play them (or don't like to play them). As long as it is not apparent that most of them are playing it against their will, it's fine by me. I am intrigued by that game as I do love to play sports games. I just remember stuff like the NBA Playgrounds game (which I did play afterwards en I did enjoy it myself).
That said, I will watch the stream anyway because most of the time I like their discussions/banter during the stream more than the actual gameplay and I will probably have the stream on while I am playing Forza Motorsports 7 this weekend anyway (if Microsoft starts pre-loading somewhere in the beginning of this week as I am not sure how quickly that 90+GB will download otherwise).
While I don't need an other Pokken stream (I don't think a lot has changed compared to the Wii U version), I do understand that people playing Fifa don't like the story mode spoiled.
I try not to play too many sports games anymore (although I love playing them) as I spend way too much time with them and have a crazy backlog as is right now, but back when I did play them (and after they did add story modes to sports games), the story mode was probably my favorite mode.
I haven't played Fifa since Fifa 09 however (and played a lot more NBA 2K as I have played basketball myself), so never played the Fifa stroy mode, but I can see not wanting to be spoiled.
They've streamed Pokken twice, voted for FIFA cuz maaaaaybe it could work for a group stream?
Frankly I don't think the current voting system works anymore, even though I originally became a patron because of it. I'd go for a free for all name counting style, with new entries getting a multiplier first time they're added, then Kyle chooses 1-3 from those to stream.
As for FIFA itself: when one guy moved away from my group of friends for a few months and another joined we completely obliterated FIFA from our hangouts to become a strictly fighting game group *dancing girl emoji*
Speaking of mainstream multiplayer games I absolutely don't care about, I started playing Destiny 2. It was a game I only made fun of to tease friends since I don't play much shooters nor online games. I jokingly suggested that I would pick it up and now I'm actually enjoying it!

I'd settle for offensively bad British accents from everyone
Don't they play their own version of football with its own rules down there?
I've been skipping it since I stopped listening to it in full, so now I only listen to it when I'm on a device that supports timestamps.
We'll hear the other allies refer to Ian with the way he prefers when she has a specific preferred pronoun. For now according to that tweet they don't have a specific preferred one (so there were no assumption from Diprosalic, but from the others).

Watched the podcast after listening to it in the car, and Jone's face slowly changing as he hears more about the NES Golf on Switch story brings me great enjoyment.
It's a lot tighter than NBA, you only play select games and there's a lot of cutscenes in a high concentration.

As a massive football fan an Allies FIFA tournament would be amazing. An amazing disaster.

Maybe they shouldn't put it against bad choices.
Eh. Pokken is a far worse choice than FIFA. But Nintendo I guess, so it'll always have the general advantage.
Not at all when they're playing a career mode that people who like the games won't want to be spoiled on. I'd have voted for it if they were just kicking some goals.

Okay. So the Allies really need to fix their group stream choices. There's so many great games out that I'm not sure why we always get stuck with a Nintendo game vs. some stuff that never has a chance of winning.
Geez, stop complaining. Pokkén came out last week, it gets on the poll, same with Fifa. If people want to vote for Pokkén, then they probably like to watch it or liked it last time. There hasn't even been one Nintendo game for a month.
I really hope they do LAN battle, otherwise we're stuck with this:
I was considering getting the game since I enjoyed the demo, but then I remembered this was the only way to do local versus on one Switch :/

Voted for FIFA. It's only fair that we get a PES 2018 intramural tournament at some point in the future, though.

What could possibly be spoiled in, probably less than, the first 2 hours?
I expect they'd even keep redoing the training sections until they've got decent scores too. You'd probably see 3 or 4 cut scenes at most.

That's enough for me. Any story based single player game I am interested in playing I'm not going to watch the group stream for, so I'd vote against it.

YOU SELFISH FUCKING BASTARD!!!!!!
You're complaining about the same thing frequently when any Nintendo game shows up. Like should they never show up? Sorry because some (many) want to watch something they find fun.
