Welcome to episode #286 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we have a discussion regarding the news that there is interest from organizations to buy the Boston Breach CDL spot for next year. Though this has not officially been confirmed, and most likely not until after seasons end, we see this as a massive move with our connection to the Breach, as well as an important move that will showcase some of the issues with the CDL format regarding teams, budget, and talent. We discuss some of these systemic issues that have created this massive divide in team funds, and therefore talent opportunities for these teams to compete and make the league more competitive. There is a strong likelihood that we could see a revolving door of teams moving into this spot in the future if an org that does not have strong funding comes in, and this would be at the detriment of the players, the org, and of course the fans. We give some of our thoughts and solutions to this issue, and what we think is most important for orgs to be focusing on in order to help their brand and players. Finally, we close with some talk regarding our BO7 matches, and the continued issues that we have seen regarding the matchmaking. What do you think of the potential Boston Breach spot being sold to a new org? Do you think that whoever comes in next will succeed, or will it be a revolving door of bottom teams that struggle? Do you agree with our thoughts on the best path for these teams with smaller budgets to follow to achieve some traction? What do you think is the best strategy for these teams to follow to have success? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome back to FUT in Review #740! Today, Grandpapa Mac (Chris) and John Kirkham (John K) take over the studio to break down the summer FUTTIES grind, honor the passing of legendary Italian defender AC Milan icon Franco Baresi, and run an extensive, lawyer-reviewed cost-benefit analysis on the newly announced EA Sports FC 27 Pre-Order editions.We break down the financial value and gameplay content unfiltered:FIFA's Shelved Equity Deal: Football fans won! FIFA's controversial plan to sell off a commercial stake in the World Cup to private equity investors has officially been shelved following universal backlash. The panel breaks down the widening rift between UEFA and FIFA, asking if European football might eventually break off into its own standalone body.The Pink Card Grind: With summer in full swing and Season 8 XP flowing freely, the hosts debate whether anyone on Earth has actually packed the exact 99-rated FUTTIES card they wanted. From grinding the Frenkie de Jong SBC to evolutions of silver icons like Roberto Baggio and Ruud Gullit, we discuss why late-cycle Ultimate Team should be about fun, nostalgia, and past-and-present squad builds.Tribute to Franco Baresi: The crew pauses to pay tribute to the late, great Franco Baresi. We reminisce about Channel 4's iconic Golaccio 1990s Italian football broadcasts and discuss how EA's Icon cards help younger generations appreciate the legendary defenders who defined an era of lower-scoring, tactical Serie A perfection.EA Sports FC 27 Pre-Order Breakdown: We crunch the numbers across the three announced editions: Standard, Ultimate, and the limited-time Ultimate Plus (available until October 31st). Evaluating cash-equivalent values for 7-day early access (launching September 18), FC Points, Season Passes (Seasons 1–5), and exclusive Evolution slots, we help casuals, core players, and hard-core grinders decide which edition delivers the highest return on investment.⏱️ MID-SHOW HYDRATION BREAK

Welcome to episode #285 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with a discussion about moving to PC, as we get more information regarding the next generation of consoles, and the price comparison between them and PC. The move is becoming more likely, and we discuss the options going forward, as gaming becomes more and more expensive. We then move into our season 5 ranked experience, and the troubles with teammates voting to quit and chalking up the match. We talk about the problem with the modern COD player, and if the players today give up more than those in the past, and how the matchmaking does not support this in either ranked or pubs. Finally, we close with the debate over the open vs classic matchmaking system that is being floated around for MW4, and being taken from the original matchmaking system used in BO2. We discuss the pros and cons of having separate matchmaking systems, and talk about why we moved away from a system that never seemed to have problems in the first place. Are you on PC or console currently? If you are a console player, are you thinking of moving to PC for the next generation, or will you stay on console? Have you been playing BO7 ranked, or have you moved on from the game and are playing the BO1/BO2 ports? What do you think about the quality of COD players as time has gone on? Have they gotten better or worse? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

The Casuals discuss The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)

Welcome to episode #284 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with a recap of COD champs, as the regular season for Black Ops 7 has officially ended, only now with EWC remaining as the final event to cap off what has been an amazing season in the CDL. We give our thoughts on the grand finals, and what this now does for the landscape of players within the league. Along with this, we cover the highs and lows of the remaining teams, and some of the controversy that has now led to a debate within the league, all in the hopes of achieving a consistent and fair game. Finally, we close with covering the MW4 gameplay that has been long awaited, and all of the pros and cons that have come from creators who got to play and those who have been analyzing. We give our thoughts on what we've seen so far, and shift towards a talk around adapting to the new CODs every year, and the importance of doing this to keep getting better as a player. Did you watch COD Champs this year? If so, what did you think of the matches overall? Do you agree with some of the debate around PC issues that has been brought up? Should the league cater to player's requests more often, or are players simply complaining? What are your impressions from the MW4 gameplay? Do you think we are in for a good year, or are things looking sketchy? Finally, do you agree with our thoughts on the importance of evolving as a player from year to year? Do you feel you've improved or stayed the same over the past few years as a gamer? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

The Casuals discuss Obsession (2025/2026)

Welcome to episode #283 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we continue the discussion regarding the continued success of the BO1 and BO2 ports, as they continue to hit record numbers of concurrent players and sales, topping GTA VI as a trending game in the PSN store. This comes as no surprise to us, but the question is how long will this last? We give our opinions on the success of these ports, and if they will rival the MW4 playerbase. If this is the case, the path for Call of Duty going forward looks much different than anticipated. Does COD lean into these ports for the future, or do they simply take the feedback from these games and apply it to future titles? We then move onto a quick overview of the season 5 roadmap, with a fan favorite map returning that we feel just came a bit too late in the year. We give our thoughts on this, along with the connection between these fan-favorite map releases and them being used in the CDL, as it could make the competition that much more exciting. We close with our COD Champs predictions, as we come down to the arguably the biggest and most prestigious event for the players to win. What are your thoughts on the continued success of these ports? Should developers be taking notes on what made these games good and apply it to their future games, or do you want more ports/remasters of old CODs? Do you want to see these older fan-favorite maps return earlier, or are you done with playing BO7 at this stage in the year? Finally, what did you think about COD Champs as an event, and the winners and losers? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Sports media host and "Casuals" podcast creator Katie Nolan joined Mixed Signals live at Cannes to talk about navigating two decades of upheaval in sports media. Max and Ben ask Katie why she turned down gambling advertising when it was everywhere, how politics keeps inserting itself into sports whether she wants it to or not, and whether the window that opened for women in sports media is closing again. They also get into call-in radio, hockey's underrated chaos, and what it took for her to become a Jeopardy! champion.

Welcome to episode #282 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with the news that we will finally be getting the long awaited MW4 multiplayer reveal trailer, coming on July 16th. We give our expectations on what questions we will have answered from this reveal, as well as knowing how the COD community will feel about what Infinity Ward shows us. This is coming off of a highly successful launch of the ports of Black Ops 1 and 2 for PS4 and PS5, and the question remains; will these ports end up having more players than MW4 at launch? We share our thoughts on this question, and the problem it may pose if this ends up being the reality. Along with this, we give our predictions for what the fate of these ports will end up being in the coming weeks and months. They most likely will lose their initial playerbase after the nostalgia wears off, and the focus will shift to the new title. There are many who disagree with this prediction, and that's the question we answer today. What are you expecting from this MW4 multiplayer reveal trailer? Do you think it will live up to the hype, or will it fall flat with the fans? What do you think of the BO1 and BO2 ports? Have you been playing them, and what are your thoughts on their longevity in 2026? Will old CODs take over as the main COD, skipping MW4 entirely, or will the nostalgia wear off? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

The Casuals discuss the film Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

Welcome to episode #281 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional! In this episode, we start off with news relating to GTA VI, and the shock that 1. It will be completely digital, so no physical copies will be printed, and 2. At a base price of $80, the game still has content that is locked and only accessed through purchase of the $100 version of the game. These two announcements have created lots of conversation, both good and bad, not just for Rockstar, but the future of gaming. Will we ever see COD raise its prices? And what really justifies a game to be $100? We give our thoughts on this news, as well as our reaction to Sony announcing they will stop making physical copies of games starting in 2028, making the official end of discs in gaming. Is this the correct move and path for Sony and other publishers to make, or is this going to lead to bigger issues that are already being brought up. Do we own these games, and what rights do we actually have as “renters” of these games? Finally, we close off with a discussion on the biggest Call of Duty tournament that has ever been hosted, being Major IV in Paris. We share our thoughts on the event, and what is to be expected going forward, after the bar has been raised significantly. What are your thoughts on all of the GTA VI news? Does it warrant such a high price tag, or is the paywall their way of getting around charging $100 to a game they know everyone will buy? What do you think about the end of discs in gaming? Do you still buy physical games, or do you buy strictly online? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

The Casuals discuss the film King Kong (1933).

Welcome to episode #279 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with a discussion about gaming setups, and the different paths people take when making their setup their own, and the expense and thought that goes behind it. We give our opinions and share our experience on this. We then shift to news with MW4, confirming that we will have early access to the campaign, and a leaked screenshot of this year's gunsmith. We give our thoughts on this year's take on gunsmith, and lead into a conversation regarding customization in COD over the years. From camo grinds in the past to present, to the loss of interest in grinding titles and emblems, we discuss what went wrong, and what could be done to bring back those parts of COD that were a big part of the game. Finally, we end with our CDL review for the past weekend's matches, as we draw closer to Major IV. Do you have a gaming setup you're looking to upgrade, or are you content with your current setup? With MW4, are you planning to preorder to play the campaign early, or are you not interested in playing it early? What are your thoughts on our customization talk with COD? Is there any chance we can get back some of the customization that was a huge part of the game back in the day?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

The Casuals discuss the film Bonnie and Clyde (1967).

Welcome to episode #278 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with the new DMZ reveal trailer for MW4. With DMZ being a returning mode after a couple years away, we discuss the importance of this mode, and talk about if it's something that Call of Duty should actually focus on, or leave to another studio to develop as its own game. We then shift to BO7, and the new classic mode that has been put out with season 4. This has breathed some new life into the game, and we give our thoughts on it, and why COD doesn't make their base game more like this temporary mode. We then shift to the Sony and Xbox game reveals, and the growing competition between both consoles. With remasters making an appearance for both studios, a potential Black Ops 1 and 2 port/remaster is rumored. We give our opinion on the success and risk of doing this, and close with talk regarding the everchanging CDL, as we are quickly approaching major 4. What did you think of the DMZ trailer? Are you going to be playing it, or is it something you will be avoiding? Have you gotten a chance to play the new classic mode in BO7? Who do you think is coming out on top for the console wars after both reveals, and what do you think of potential port/remasters of old COD titles?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

The Casuals discuss Midnight Cowboy (1969).

Welcome to episode #277 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we begin with some bigger and more important leaks regarding MW4. As last week's trailer was on the campaign, we now got a lot more information regarding multiplayer. Questions that were being asked in our last episode have now been answered, and we have some positive and negative feedback. We give our thoughts on what we know now, as well as give our first impressions on some leaked screenshots of the updated UI and custom class system. We then discuss the preordering for this game, and some of the pros to preordering MW4, and some of the reasons why it's best to wait. Finally, we close with our CDL update, as we have some roster changes that have been put into place, and now we get to see them in action after a weekend of qualifier matches. What do you think about some of the confirmed MW4 multiplayer news? Does it get you more or less excited for the game? Do you agree that this is a very important year for COD, and it will be treated that way, or will it fall short like it has the past few years? Will you be preordering the game even though we have no multiplayer gameplay yet, or do you preorder COD every year? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

The Casuals mosey on down the AFI list with Shane (1953)

Welcome to episode #275 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with some news that was delivered during the Major 3 broadcast regarding ranked play, which is that we will be getting a breakdown of how we gain/lose SR in ranked. Many people have wondered how they exactly calculate this per match, and this is a nice step in the right direction. Along with this, we shift towards some news regarding Sony and Xbox, as a potential console war may be upon us. As Sony is pulling back on letting their exclusives go to PC, Xbox lowered the price of game pass and seems to be making steps to regain their spot at the top. We talk about the pros and cons of a console war, and what it will mean for the future of gaming.  This then turns to a conversation about the future of stories in gaming, as we discuss a concerning article regarding stories in movies that we can already see happening in gaming, which is a drop in complexity and quality. Finally, we end with our review of Major 3, as well as the pros of the format used during the weekend. Have you been playing ranked still? Do you think the SR breakdown will be accurate, or will it still have some flaws? What are your thoughts on a potential console war reigniting? Do you remember console wars back during the Xbox 360/PS3 era? Regarding story games, do you avoid any and all gameplay/spoilers, or does it not matter to you? Finally, did you end up watching Major 3? If so, what did you think of the change in format? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome to episode #274 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off talking about an inevitable fact of friends dropping off of gaming, and what may be contributing to this. As most of our friends have stopped playing, we turn to the games we had growing up, and how the quality of those titles, such as Call of Duty, has changed so much over the years that it has turned people away from gaming altogether. We share our thoughts on story games, and their ability to tell a story you actually cared about and wanted to keep playing. This shifts our talk to the seasons in BO7, and how the story continues to be told, despite not having that initial interest from a lack of quality. Along with this, when it comes to quality and effort in COD, most turn to the maps being a main point of focus. We give our thoughts on how map design and quality has been trending over the years, as well as sharing the fact that despite good maps in the past, there are very few that live on over the years. Finally, we close with some CDL updates, and are looking forward to an exciting major 3 tournament. Do you share the experience of having a shrinking list of friends still playing regularly? What's the longest you've gone without gaming? Do you agree with our takes on storylines in gaming? Does COD need a full reset when it comes to their campaigns? Finally, do you remember a lot of maps from old COD titles, or is your memory as bad as ours?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

The Casuals discuss the film A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)

Welcome to episode #273 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with the news that Modern Warfare 4 will not be released on last-gen consoles, making it the first COD in over a decade to move exclusively to the current generation of consoles. We share our thoughts on the move, those who still main on the old consoles, and what the future looks like for console gaming vs. PC gaming, as both are becoming more and more expensive. We then shift to the current state of BO7, and discuss how COD has changed over the years to where we currently are, and what this says for Modern Warfare 4. The focus has shifted over the years to variety and quantity for all players, and moved away from good fundamentals in their titles. We give our opinions on the fundamentals IW needs to focus on to gain traction for their title. Finally, we give an overview on the CDL weekend, as serious concerns are still there for some of the bottom teams, and the battle for the top has gotten even closer as we are closing in on major 3. What do you think about the move away from old gen support regarding COD? When did you make the switch to the next gen, or do you still play your old console? What are your thoughts on our talk regarding settings in COD? Do you think there are too many, or do you enjoy the customization? Finally, what are your main points for IW to focus on for MW4? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome to episode #272 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we have some major news regarding the future of COD, and the serious potential of a major loss in sales, as Xbox officially has announced that COD will not appear on game pass until a year after release, no longer being at launch. This comes off the back of a much needed price cut for game pass, but now the question is; will the Xbox Call of Duty playerbase take a serious hit because of this change? We give our opinions on the matter, and how this year's game is now even more important. Along with this, we cover the most recent minor tournament in the CDL this past weekend, and cover the top teams and what is next for those teams who continue to struggle. Finally, we wrap up with the recent interview with Daniel Tsay on The Flank. There are lots of questions to be answered regarding changes to the CDL format, and the overall future of the league, and we cover the most important points from this. What do you think about Xbox not having the newest COD on game pass? Will Xbox lose some of it's core playerbase because of this, or will the impact not be felt that heavily? What did you think of the most recent CDL matches? Are there matches simply not worth watching, and does this show how the CDL needs a format change? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome to episode #271 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with the confirmation that we will be seeing a COD movie in the near future, and what this means for the series. Set to release in 2028, we give some thoughts and theories as to why they have decided to make COD into a movie, and what their hopes are with the outcome from it to support their game. We break down the potential ideas they could have with COD 2028, as well as if it will be successful or not. We then shift to some of the decline that's been seen in FPS games across the board, as hackers have now ruined Arc Raiders and ranked play for BO7. This will lead players onto new games, constantly chasing the next best game. We give our thoughts on this movement as a whole, and how we feel the game industry has led to games feeling “disposable” as years have gone on. We finally end with some CDL news updates and changes, as we head into the first minor tournament of Major 3, getting a first look at the top teams in the league. What do you think of the COD movie announcement? Are you excited for this, or more worried? What do you think Activision hopes to achieve with this movie, and do you think they'll be successful? Do you agree with our assessment of the gaming industry and there being too many games to choose from? Finally, what do you think of the competition in the CDL right now after Major 3? Do lots of teams need to make changes, or wait until after Major 3?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome to episode #270 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with the increase in pricing for gaming, which now seems to be nearly across the board. With the recent news that Sony raised the price of the PS5 across the board, with the PS5 being $900, and Microsoft's new CEO announcing a change to the Game Pass pricing, we cover the thoughts as a gamer in 2026, and how our hobby's barrier to entry is getting more and more difficult to reach. Along with this, we also got a rumor circling that Call of Duty will be taken off of Xbox Game Pass later this year, assuming that COD's next title will not be available through it. We share our thoughts on this move, and if it's good or bad for the future of the game and the series, as GTA VI looms over all games releasing towards the end of this year. Finally, we end with some more CDL roster moves, as we draw close to the first week of the Major 3 qualifiers. What do you think of the price increase on consoles and gaming subscriptions? Do you have a cutoff price for consoles or games? Do you think consoles will continue to get more expensive, or will it eventually hit a cap? What do you think of the future of COD on Game Pass? Is this going to hurt or save the series down the line? Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!

Welcome to episode #269 of The COD Casuals, where we discuss all things Call of Duty, casual and professional!In this episode, we start off with our overview of season 3 so far. As it's the most anticipated season yet in Black Ops 7, we give our take on the new maps that have been added in, as well as a meta shift for competitive play as some nerfs and buffs have been implemented. We give our opinion on the shakeup, and what this will mean for ranked play and the CDL. Shifting to the CDL, we end with lots of roster news and rumors. Boston have officially made the decision to drop Snoopy and pick up Afro as their one change during this break, and we give our thoughts on the move, and if we'll see any improvements into the major 3 qualifiers. There are also moves surrounding Carolina, Vancouver, and Riyadh that have yet to take place, but are in the process of going down. We share our insight into the potential moves, and ask if these are really the moves these teams need to be making to be fighting for a spot at champs. What are your thoughts on the season 3 maps so far? Are you a fan of the remasters, or do they feel different than they used to? Which is your favorite map? What do you think of the pros trying out different weapons, shifting up the meta? Finally, do you think Boston and the other teams making changes are gonna improve or stay the same come major 3?  Please let us know as we discuss this and much more!
