fuck! I wish I had know this when I started the download at lunch.
No madden punch card or achievement points,shown for me. Ia this because I already downloaded the trial? I'm going to buy the game with saved credit so I would like those 4000 points I should be able to get them I would think buying full game.

Looks like it's gone now. Lasted quite a bit longer than Wolfenstien Youngblood from the other night. Yeah seems they even removed the punch card for +250 points for getting an achievement,  which is odd. They left the Wolfenstein one up for that. MS Rewards is always operated very oddly. 

 
Yeah they put the trials out quite a bit in advance, like this time I think it was a full 7 days because of those $100 Super Duper Deluxe editions and the Friday release date for the regular folk version. Punch cards seem to go up the day the regular version comes out.I got burned on Anthem that way, and this has been the only EA release since then I think... Should have NHL, FIFA, and the Star Wars game to try it on the rest of the year.
The trial came out officially at midnight last Thursday (five days before the midnight Tuesday launch of the premium preorder editions), but it was available to some players before that. And as for why people hop on immediately: There's been a glitch in how EA Access worked that allowed players to apply multiple 10-hour trials to an account by buying additional Access subscriptions (which they would sometimes then refund because of how EA Access works), and the 10 hours alone is a lot of time to make progress in Ultimate Team.

Hilariously, that glitch that benefited EA Access subscribers on Xbox for years didn't work on Xbox this year, but a similar one did work on PS4.

(Personally, I hope EA expands Access on consoles to have a $100+ tier that lets me have all of the full games on release like Origin Premier does on PC, but I suspect that's at least a year off.)

Also, don't forget that NBA Live is still supposed to drop this year, despite a delay.

 
There's a picture on the Xbox One subreddit that shows that Devil May Cry 5 is making its way to Game Pass. Could be fake, but it was likely supposed to be announced at Gamescom in a few weeks.
 
Missed out on 9000 points from the Wolfenstein and Madden punch cards, every time I don’t check here or MS rewards subreddit for a few hours I miss something.

Man... my dog passed this morning. I could see it coming for a few weeks now, but nothing could have prepared me for the circumstances that it happened under. Trying to hold it together for my wife who is in deep mourning, but it's hard. My entire life, dogs were nothing but pets that came and went. But Leo was family. He slept with me, ate with me, licked my head for hours at a time if I would let him. Part of me wants to play some games to take my mind off of it... part of me just wants to sit and think about him. Anything help you all out in this situation?
Sorry for your loss. I believe I understand your pain. My dog for 17 passed away a while back, and I can't go through that pain again if I were to get another dog. They become family.

At least with the EA stuff you can have a general idea when it's going to happen, and since it's been going on since at least Anthem they don't seem to be proactively trying to avoid them. September 13th is the release date of NHL 20 so I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for that. The Wolfenstein one was kind of odd because I don't think many were expecting a "free trial version" to be available, it also got pulled a lot faster.

Yeah I usually check the reward app at night I wasn’t expecting it to be gone after a few hours they usually last til they expire.

The Wolfenstein one was different cause I don’t think people were supposed to be able to dl the trial without a buddy code or some shit.

Alright, I'm in need of some help from our lovely community. I have had Nyko chargers for my controllers for a while now, but the batteries don't hold a charge worth crap anymore. What do you guys use for batteries/chargers?

I use Eneloop rechargeable AA’s, I always have some ready to swap when I get the “Your controller batteries are low”
 
I have the Energizer stand. I loved their version for the ps3 and 360, but the xbone version is not as good. The controllers just rest in the cradles and can be jostled loose. They also started to not hold as much charge much quicker than other packs I've had. Now one pack only works in one controller oddly enough.

Few minutes with Madden on the trial and they tried to sell me on playing the pro bowl to start the game! Lol

Ultimate challenges are nice that once completing one you can go to the next with a brief loading screen. Reduces the back and forth. I think I’ll just throw all my time to Madden and go pro.
 
I've got the BB/Insignia dock with rechargeable battery, works well. I get about 4 medium time amount days on a charge I think.
 
Man, that Gears challenge for beating co-op is retroactive, I wish I would have done it sooner. One of the other ones isn't just play 3 Horde games, it's complete them. It does say the 25 wave modes count as well at least. The casual one goes pretty fast at least.

 
Alright, I'm in need of some help from our lovely community. I have had Nyko chargers for my controllers for a while now, but the batteries don't hold a charge worth crap anymore. What do you guys use for batteries/chargers?
I’ve been using the same set of Energizer rechargeables for 8 years now. Still hold a good charge.

Guess you didn't unlock Gilded Raam, then, since one of his challenges was completing the campaign in co-op on Hardcore.

I saw on the Gears forums that you can complete the Horde challenge by starting a private match on wave 25 or 50 and finishing that. Spamming Sniper Strike was suggested. Don't know if that's been fixed. I need to grind out the 2500 Horde kills, so I'll just try to play some matches.

 
I use Eneloop rechargeable AA’s, I always have some ready to swap when I get the “Your controller batteries are low”
This is the route I intimately went also (different brand though)

I have a multi slot battery charger from nitecore and I have dozens of batteries on hand charged and ready to go. I was having issues with the MS battery packs staying charged.
 
I use the Microsoft rechargeable battery. I’ve used it since I got a Xbox one around when fallout 4 came out and it still holds the charge like new. The cable that comes with it is extra long and seems to hold up well. I know the 360 play and charge kit battery didn’t last but this one has worked out a lot better.
 
I'll chime in on the Eneloop batteries as well. Had mine for almost ten years or so now and still no complaints.  Amazon rechargables I also have no problems with and can use the Eneloop charger as well (NIMH), though I also hear good things about the Ikea brand ones if you have one near you and they can also use same charger as the Eneloop.

That's what I use too. IDK if the cable came with something or with Scorpio, but it's has like a "cloth" wrapping making it more durable than the plastic charging cables

 
I have the Energizer stand. I loved their version for the ps3 and 360, but the xbone version is not as good. The controllers just rest in the cradles and can be jostled loose. They also started to not hold as much charge much quicker than other packs I've had. Now one pack only works in one controller oddly enough.
I think I have the same version. Some times it takes ages to get the right position and sometimes you think it charging, but the next day when you take it off and try and play it has not charged at all.

I also have the newer version with a different design, looks like it holds the controller better. Have not used it yet as it is in a box somewhere waiting for me to find.

With the quests are the Batman and Ashes quests still showing for anyone?

Looks like I am missing those 2 quests from my Xbox and phone app.

 
Hmm that's interesting because yeah I could have sworn I had a quest for Ashe's Cricket the other day but not anymore. I still have Batman Arkham Knight over here in America. 

 
Regarding batteries: I took advice from someone here a while back and switched to the Eneloops. Great play time, have 8 so we can rotate them out when needed and charge overnight, always have a spare set.

GP Quests: the Batman one is still around here in the US, just did it tonight actually. IIRC though the Cricket one doesn’t start until the 5th. Haven’t gone back to look but I think that’s what it said when someone here posted the monthly quest info.
 
The Batman Quest is still there. As for Cricket, I haven't seen it but Bardockkun stated it starts on the 5th. Are you sure you saw it or just thinking about what Bardockkun posted?

I have this in my Elite controller. I have Nyko's in my two non elite controllers. I also have a bunch of Eneloops but haven't really used them in my XBox controllers.

The dock is really nice and simple.

I've got the newer model. Controllers do sit on it better and It doesn't have that issue of appearing to charge and not like your earlier version did.

 
Swear by my eneloops, the original set of 4 that I bought in the 360 days still hold an excellent charge. I also use the AAAs for all of my household remotes and Bose noise canceling headphones and haven’t had to buy batteries in years. They charge on the same charger. The eneloops have already lasted twice as long as a similar energizer charger I had, and still going strong. I think the eneloop charger is a bit more sophisticated and doesn’t overcharge them once full which reduces wear.

I have Nyko batteries and chargers and had the same issue a couple years back.
When I emailed support asking them where I could purchase new batteries they sent me new batteries free off charge. It took a couple months being on a waiting list, but I got them free of charge. Might be worrh a shot.
 
Thank you everyone for the advice. Looks like I will be picking up some Eneloops soon, although I may stop in at BB and check out that Insignia dock.

In Game Pass news, looks like they are running a promotion with Kelloggs products. Buy one product, upload your receipt on Kelloggs Family Rewards, and receive a code for Game Pass. Most products will only give you a 7 day code, but there is a large 28 count multi-product pack that will gain you a 30 day code. Accounts are limited to 8 7 day codes or 2 30 day codes. Sounds like those of us with GPU may benefit from the multi packs.

Yeah, I wouldn't ever use RAAM anyways and hitting Re-Up 10 wasn't happening. I just hit Re-Up 4 last night.

I've just been playing regular Horde to finish those chalenges. Just playing online I think an Engineer turret build would be fastest to hit the 2500 kills. I kind of expected a sort of going away event for playlists, but it doesn't look like anything special is happening.

 
EVO 2019 still on-going. Tekken 7 finals coming up, then Smash Ultimate finishing off after.

https://www.twitch.tv/evo

  • Soul Calibur VI's final character officially confirmed, and coming out tomorrow.
(excuse the wonky audio here, these are record from the stream and they were having technical issues.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR4L9EOjcEQ

  • Then they did a fake out and announced Season 2. Four more characters are on the way, including Haohmaru from Samurai Shodown as a guest. More details coming soon.
(Audio still wonky)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRCFGxj1-18

  • SNK had some announcements of their own. King of Fighters XV is in development. Samurai Shodown must be doing extremely well of them. They announced an additional free character for everyone, and a second season in 2020, including an old character that won a poll.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzS9TbkfMd4

  • Arc System Works said they have another announcement coming tonight, I'd guess after Tekken but before Smash.

  • I think it's pretty likely Tekken will announce a season 3 as well.

  • As far as the definitely not Xbox news, Street Fighter V had three new characters leak a couple days ago so they must have decided not to make a big deal out of it during the show; Poison, E. Honda, and Lucia (from Final Fight 3)

  • Blazblue Cross Tag Battle announced a 2.0 update with 9 new characters. Another RWBY character, one character from Senran Kagura, and two from Akatsuki Blitzkampf (which is about an obscure pull as possible.

I was already at Re-Up 10, so I just needed the million points, which was easy enough with the multiplier, and get through co-op campaign. Actually got through it joining some public sessions.

Solo'ed about an hour of casual private Juvie Madness last night, got 399 kills. So the kills won't be a problem. Didn't realize the Vs one was rounds instead of matches. So the only question will be getting through the Horde matches.

In addition to Rockstar energy drinks, Chip Ahoy is also doing some sort of Gears 5 promotion. Hasn't been officially announced yet, but packages are showing up in stores. Guess some kind of skins. People have posted pics of regular cookies with Kait on them and I found chewy ones with Del. There's a code on the inside, but the site to redeem them isn't live yet.

 
Did they wrap up SFV finals?
Yes.The negative feelings around the where SFV has been lately caught up with it, which says a LOT since EVO has traditionally been very Capcom focused. Tekken got the ideal evening slot and Smash got the "prestige" late-night slot that ends the show due to the massive viewer numbers it brings.

WTF how could I miss it ah man.Well the DBZ fighterZ was entertaining to watch and I may watch the tekken .
 
Greenland melted and flooded our oceans with 10 BILLION TONNES OF WATER. I was wondering if we're still arguing for more physical games and plastics made of fossil fuels as the climate collapses? Does that guy that wants to starve Refugees for Veterans know that 80% of AMERICANS WILL BE REFUGEES IN 20 YEARS? #CagLife 

I'm a veteran and you don't speak for me. I'd rather starve and sacrifice than starve women and  children. Keep Veterans  out your mouth, you don't speak for all of us. Such cowardice.

Anyone else still going on the TA GTASC 2019 competition? I have just squeaked past this last round. Really wishing I didn't kill my bonus on the first week when I didn't understand how everything worked.

 
I'm still in there, definitely different this year with using the TA difference instead of gamerscore. I have been playing a lot of older games.

I'm still alive. Popped a couple FH4 Lego achievements late last night to provide a buffer that wasn't needed. Misunderstood the requirements for this past period's bonus. Thought it was for overall GS, not period GS. Fell well short in any case.

I should be able to get through the next 3 weeks with little trouble. Have 2 bonuses to spend and am closing in on the Re-Up 11 achievement in Gears 4 currently worth +532 TA.

If I can get next week's bonus, I should be able to get through period 10. I thought I read there was a TA community badge for those getting through 10 weeks, but can't find mention of it anymore.
