FIFA player destroys controller, gets Mario Götze to replace it

4.6
FIFA star Mario Götze has taken responsibility for the performance of his in-game avatar.

A FIFA 15 player sent a picture of a broken controller to Götze, blaming the star athlete for missing an important penalty in-game.

Rather than just laugh it off, Götze promised to replace the control pad – even though it was, of course, the player’s fault that Götze’s avatar missed the penalty, and definitely their fault that a controller was snapped as a consequence.

This amusing story comes to us courtesy of Kotaku‘s translation of a German Facebook post. It’s good publicity for Götze, although I hope he won’t find himself expected to foot the bill for copycat incidents.

codjng I've not once destroyed a controller, unlike many people who can say they have. I guess I'm more in control of my actions, especially in response to video games, in comparison to others. I've only ever broken those cheap xbox mics, and even then it wasn't on purpose.


You must have never played FIFA :)


I've came very close, but I can still control myself. FIFA is annoying af sometimes.

I don't know which one is funnier, the fact that Mario Gotze replaced somebody's controller or that somebody could destroy a controller that much.
