[white spruce]

Mark carlos Alberto is better than llorente

[scenic cape]

With bruiser

[white spruce]

He has anticipate

Then that’s why

[scenic cape]

I have Carlos Alberto

[deep trench]

I have the ww one

[white spruce]

It’s an evo

[scenic cape]

He’s at cb

[mighty sky]

evos are evos, most llorente cards on the market or rewards have no defensive ps

[white spruce]

We have the ww

[deep trench]

Ig thats why

No defensive playstyles btw

[white spruce]

My evo balde jumps higher than 6’2 Wingers

And he’s 5’11

Frimpong surprisingly can win headers

[deep trench]

Should I put architect on him?

Will increase the overall by 2 ratings tho

[scenic cape]

He lost the header buddy

[white spruce]

His physical goes up

So yeah

But

Ngl

[old bobcat]

we are watching a different video then

[white spruce]

You already have bruiser+

On him

So

Ion know

My frimpong has bruiser+ and pushes people

[deep trench]

Bruiser+ on 69 physical is nice

[white spruce]

Best keeper in the game btw

[scenic cape]

The ball went straight to Mbappe

[deep trench]

Block+ on a gk 😭

Does it make him save more?

[white spruce]

Imma try it ngl

Probably

[old bobcat]

yes it was a good pass from vdv

[white spruce]

Imma try it

I’m not joking

[white spruce]

I’m giving a gk block+

[scenic cape]

Van de ven won that tho ig

[old bobcat]

yes

[deep trench]

If it works we are discovering something crazy

[old bobcat]

vdv headed that

[scenic cape]

Llorente a whole head above him

[white spruce]

If that’s irl van de ven is not winning that header btw

Llorentes on a run

And jumps

So llorentes winning that

[old bobcat]

wdym

isnt vdv blue?

[white spruce]

Imma do it

[scenic cape]

Red

[old bobcat]

i see then

[white spruce]

Now if that’s van dijk vs llorente

Yeah bro

Llorentes getting trucked

[deep trench]

If it fails u lost a gk ps+ on him 😢

[white spruce]

Doesn’t matter

Tbh

End of the day it’s just for fun

Not like he’s gonna be my main gk

[deep trench]

He is.

[white spruce]

Imagine it works

It should

Cause he’s basically blocking shots

[deep trench]

yeah

if it did u might've created the best gk in the game

new meta of block+ evo gks

can I reach div 5?

[white spruce]

No

Jk

[old bobcat]

no pina no win

[scenic cape]

Round 1 gauntlet team

What is this

[old bobcat]

avarge game

[twin kraken]

Don't really know about that... I have 500 wins without Pina

[deep trench]

not sure if I should do pina evo

[twin kraken]

Don't

[deep trench]

it's 65k tho

[old bobcat]

cope

[deep trench]

and I would see what ppl are talking about

[errant grove]

I have 300k what should i buy and Who should I replace pls

[twin kraken]

I'm actually serious

[old bobcat]

im just joking while youre srs lmao

[twin kraken]

🙄

[white spruce]

I have pina

But she’s so bad

[old bobcat]

skill

[white spruce]

It’s the winter wildcards low driven

[old bobcat]

issues

[white spruce]

She’s so bad

The other card is better

[deep trench]

I thought pina was no skill?

wow

[white spruce]

Plus I don’t need her

I have vini and henry

😭

[deep trench]

what's bad about her?

[old bobcat]

🥱

[twin kraken]

U can ruin every card with skill issues

[white spruce]

Her low driven one is so bad

It’s straight poop

Her pace is so slow even wit a Hunter

Don’t get me wrong tho

[deep trench]

should I do antony evo

[white spruce]

She can shoot

[deep trench]

to play as my rm

[white spruce]

For funzies

I lowkeydont play div rivals

I was div 2 but then I went to div 4

[twin kraken]

Imagine that literally everyone would be using Pina if it was any earlier fifa when gaming wasn't that toxic etc.

[deep trench]

I do but rarely

[white spruce]

I only play rivals to get rewards

And that’s it

[deep trench]

I should give my balde and gullit 90 stam

[white spruce]

My teams just more fun

[deep trench]

ur henry is more fun

[twin kraken]

I guess, u can't lose anything by doing that

[white spruce]

he is fun actually

[deep trench]

both of u have nico williams evo

should I do him?

[white spruce]

He doesnt miss

I did nico evo bc of his ps+

[old bobcat]

lookijng at my team i have more fun players based on my preference, i use a lot of my irl fav players so

[deep trench]

if it increases the overall then I do lose something

[white spruce]

Baldes my favorite player irl

[twin kraken]

More fun but u have vdv evo 😭

[white spruce]

And onana

[twin kraken]

It doesn't

[white spruce]

🤫 gatta have some meta players

[old bobcat]

i love alexia, vini, pina my current top 3

[deep trench]

I'll do them then

[white spruce]

The list is wrong

It’s actually

Bonmati, Alexia

And then Pina

[old bobcat]

i dont like bonmati that much

[white spruce]

Bonmatis the best midfielder in the female team for barca

Literally the best player

[twin kraken]

Do u actually watch liga f?

[old bobcat]

yes

[white spruce]

Without a doubt

Pedri now

oh my god

[old bobcat]

i dont really care tbh to me alexia and pina are going to be among my favs

[white spruce]

Pedri and bonmati

[old bobcat]

i also love hansen

sam kerr

[white spruce]

2022 Beth mead is better than pina

Btw

[old bobcat]

who cares

not me

[white spruce]

Euros

Then why respond?

You care

[twin kraken]

That's not even a fun joke anymore

[white spruce]

smh

lingard

you know what

I’m doing a lingard evo

[old bobcat]

youre keep tagging me and responding to my msg and ask me why am i responding? hello where is your brain?

[white spruce]

I’m not tagging you

[white spruce]

Only that one time

And the other

[twin kraken]

😭

[pine yew]

Mbappe down by 500k on pc

[twin kraken]

So?

[deep trench]

he's dropping so quickly 😭

[deep trench]

we will buy him

good for future evos

[white spruce]

Chat

[pine yew]

Toty is not even out

[white spruce]

I’m buying a pc just for assetto corsa

And forza

[twin kraken]

If u wanna be boring and use just meta cards

[white spruce]

Gonna buy a VR headset

[pine yew]

Ikr, he was 1.5 mil 2 DAYS ago

[white spruce]

Then a wheel

And pedals

[pine yew]

Good luck getting ram

[white spruce]

And hook it up to the pc

[deep trench]

pina is the boring meta card

[white spruce]

It’s not hard

[twin kraken]

I'd still never buy him

[pine yew]

It’s not hard but it’s EXPENSIVE

[white spruce]

My hb will hook me up

[twin kraken]

So what? That's why I don't use her

[deep trench]

what's a fun striker

[white spruce]

Woltemade

[pine yew]

Yea same, I’d rather use my chido obi evo I started yesterday

[white spruce]

I miss Ben yedder

[twin kraken]

Evos/uncommon promo cards

[white spruce]

smh

Ben yedder rats

[pine yew]

Gnabry is quite fun and also vitally

[deep trench]

so mbappe?

[pine yew]

Vialli *

[deep trench]

is rashford a good striker?

[twin kraken]

So his gold card is now promo card?

[white spruce]

At least you didn’t say henry

[twin kraken]

And he's not uncommon

[deep trench]

I mean the orange one

[twin kraken]

Duh all mbappe cards are basically the same

[pine yew]

I’ve played against him a lot so yea probably

[deep trench]

u sure?

[deep trench]

evo or ww?

[white spruce]

They are

He’s not wrong

[pine yew]

Evo

[twin kraken]

Mate look at their stats

[scenic cape]

Halaand is terrible

[twin kraken]

Almost identical

[pine yew]

Sometimes ww but mostly evo

[white spruce]

All Mbappes cards are +1 stats with a different playstyle +

[deep trench]

playstyles tho

[white spruce]

I’m not lying

Like literally

That’s all ea does to mbappe cards

+1 stats

And then new ps+

[deep trench]

my friend packed his star performer one

I need to get an mbappe too

might do his potm card if it comes

[white spruce]

Atp give mbappe a 93 rated card with anticipate+

[twin kraken]

Every card has either rapid qs or finesse and he has all basic too

So doesn't really matter

[deep trench]

should I save packs for mbappe potm?

[white spruce]

I packed Mbappe today

Btw

[mighty sky]

they'll do something last last year when he got trickster+

[twin kraken]

😂😭

[white spruce]

Mbappe

[old bobcat]

youre a funny guy

[twin kraken]

U cannot be serious

[white spruce]

saving packs for mbappe potm

[deep trench]

are there better evos?

[white spruce]

He’s not getting potm

Bellingham is

[deep trench]

he's not in the nominees tho

[white spruce]

Yeah the old one that has quick step+

[twin kraken]

Tf for what?

[white spruce]

For playing for Madrid

Ion know

[old bobcat]

how is he about to get it if you dont know lmao

[twin kraken]

Tbh that boosts your chances of winning it so much

[deep trench]

lamine yamal might get it instead of mbappe

[white spruce]

It’s called trolling

Lebrobro

Smh

[twin kraken]

Everyone is just vardrid fanboys nowadays

[white spruce]

Nah mbappes getting potm

[deep trench]

if he does I might do him

[white spruce]

Im waiting for a haaland potm with aerial +

Cause god

He’s 6’5 and he can’t jump

😭

[twin kraken]

Cuz u wanna be just spamming crosses?

[white spruce]

Useless height

[white spruce]

Hell yeah

that’s the fun

[deep trench]

will haaland potm be affordable?

[white spruce]

Imagine haaland dunking on van dijk

😭

Literally

Just jumps and dunks on him

[twin kraken]

No one uses vvd

[white spruce]

The saka + haaland duo

Saka just for crossing

Or Grimaldo

[white spruce]

His other card

His promo is annoying ngl

[twin kraken]

I've played against that card like 5 times in total

[white spruce]

Then haven’t met someone who can defend

😭

Played people who just straight up tackle on defense

Like straight up

X

Slide

[twin kraken]

Tf u mean? Everyone uses evo vdv and lets the AI defend

[white spruce]

People are weirdos

[deep trench]

I don't

[twin kraken]

No one actually defends

[white spruce]

I defend

[twin kraken]

Rats

[deep trench]

mbappe is gonna become 900k rn 😭

[white spruce]

Wallahi any of these people who ai defend

Try to defend irl

[twin kraken]

No one cares

[white spruce]

Are getting clamped

[deep trench]

cheaper potm cards right?

[white spruce]

Put into a highlight reel

[twin kraken]

Bro fr it makes the game so much worse when people can just get away with not even moving their cb's

[white spruce]

I’ve played people who just defend with their cdms

It’s so annoying

[twin kraken]

Like I'm frustrated playing against them even if I'm winning

[white spruce]

Like bro

Just switch

[deep trench]

who should I put on this new time warp evo

[white spruce]

Nobody

[scenic cape]

The cdm ones are annoying not the cb ai defenders

[deep trench]

fr?

[white spruce]

Yeah go put Perisic into the evo

Nostalgia

Or sum

[twin kraken]

Fr those are the players who needed the strong AI at the start cuz they're unable to learn anything new

[white spruce]

Bro

I’m not joking

[twin kraken]

No one

[white spruce]

I legit played somebody who defended with the promo sbc caicedo

The whole match

I just stood there and watched him hold jockey

The whole time

[twin kraken]

Lol fr I don't even try to attack if they don't defend

I'll just wait and win

[white spruce]

It’s so dumb

[twin kraken]

But the fact that people still use the AI when they're losing 5-0 is concerning

[white spruce]

And if not they put their cdm all behind their cb’s

And wait for a long ball

[twin kraken]

Fr

[white spruce]

I know how to use ai

But only to call short

And send on runs

Wherever I need them to go

Like if I need my winger to pull a midfielder away and put a space I’ll tell him to move out wide

[twin kraken]

I mean u don't really have to know how to use it to defend but that's all u actually need

[white spruce]

And drag the defender

Imma gts bro

It’s 3am

[twin kraken]

Oh u live in America?

[white spruce]

Yeah

I’m an American with gun laws

I’m gonna take out my firearms license

[twin kraken]

Damn 10.30 am here...

[sturdy dune]

what can improve abt my team btw i swapped de jong for time warped keane

[twin kraken]

Better fullbacks and striker

[white spruce]

Time warp David Silva

[sturdy dune]

pina not good?

[twin kraken]

Heck no

[sturdy dune]

she’s been working for me tho

[sturdy dune]

like?

[green arrow]

de jong gaps keane

way better body type

[twin kraken]

Bro idk rn but u can find players urself too

[sturdy dune]

i want to use keane

[sturdy dune]

idk whos good

[deep trench]

pina

[twin kraken]

Just try different cards

[sturdy dune]

?

[deep trench]

improve pina with a better striker

[twin kraken]

U asked what can u improve and he said pina

[sturdy dune]

oh

[scenic cape]

Get Llorente best fb in the game

Best rb

[sturdy dune]

is patri guijarro better than pina?

[green arrow]

no defensive playstyles💔 💔

[tough vector]

saying pina isn’t good🤣

[scenic cape]

Evo him smart guy

[twin kraken]

She's not

[scenic cape]

Skill issue

[tough vector]

Okay

[twin kraken]

Yea sure buddy

[scenic cape]

Explain how’s she’s not good

[errant grove]

what should i replace next ? pls i have 300k budget ?

[tough vector]

don’t even need skill tbh, that’s the thing🤣

[twin kraken]

Tf u need an explanation for?

She's just not good

[scenic cape]

Because nobody agrees with u

So explain

Use that small brain

[red rose]

nah bruh div 7 pmo

i lose 2 games and tie 2 games on the final checkpoint

[twin kraken]

If u wanna improve u can watch the replays of every goal after the game and see what u did right and wrong

[twin kraken]

It's a no skill ratty card that ruins everyone's game experience even more

[mighty sky]

pina is good but objectively the single most boring card

good for people on a budget to compete but for anyone with coins to use her is a brokie sign ngl

[red rose]

bro i threw away a 2 goal lead in a solid 15sec im an idiot bro and it was my promotion game

[twin kraken]

The card is bad for the game

[mighty sky]

Balancing cards is an ea problem not a community problem unfortunately

if they made base mechanics better this would happen less

[twin kraken]

Just play smart

[mighty sky]

community will abuse anything op the moment it's discovered

it's up to ea to figure out the balancing as a billion dollar franchise having company

that being said she's not touching my team for the rest of the game

[twin kraken]

Fr they can't balance anything tbh

[tough vector]

why pay 10mil+ when you have a 4k player that’s better

[twin kraken]

Cuz it's the most boring and rattiest card we've ever seen

It ruins other people's experience

[mighty sky]

no disrespect to anyone who uses her but no way in hell I bench icons for some girl whose existence was myth before this crap game

[twin kraken]

Same... I already have 500 wins without her so I should be able to continue that

[tough vector]

it doesn’t though, if you are good enough you will still win

[mighty sky]

people are fiends for wins it's nothing new

[twin kraken]

Yea ik but because of her my opponents get free goals

[mighty sky]

imo if you remove the bounce and jam pina gets she's an average card, she dribbles very well but half that card is just the jam

[noble idol]

Her gold is still used in div 1

79 pace striker in div 1 what gas the world come to

🫩

[deep trench]

her gold wasn't good when I tried her

[tough vector]

every player gets jam at some point

[noble idol]

Ur offering to pay people to play ur champs games your opinion adds zero value to this conversation

[twin kraken]

Yeah ik it's just sad how shameless people are to achieve wins in a video game

[deep trench]

oh yeah. sorry

[tough vector]

same with any low driven or finesse plus player

[twin kraken]

Not the same with everyone cuz baby cruyff for example I'm able to defend

But with Pina she always gets the rebounds just like Mbappe

[mighty sky]

not at the level that girl does bruh no 5'3 player is bodyong a 6'4 cb

[tough vector]

well tbf my pina has never bodied anyone

[mighty sky]

it's pack addiction atp

[tough vector]

that’s just unfortunate

[twin kraken]

Lol so it's just luck u say?

Wonder why it happens every time I play against those two

[scenic cape]

That doesn’t make her bad

[twin kraken]

Keep yapping kid

[deep trench]

should I buy gold dembele

[scenic cape]

Start reading books please

[twin kraken]

Reading books doesn't have anything to do with this

[tough vector]

Your probably noticing them more as they’re common

[deep trench]

when are potm cards releasing

[red rose]

bro and i can only lose 1 more time the checkpoint is so dumb bro

why is it not infinite

[twin kraken]

Probably because if it was u couldn't get relegated

[red rose]

rargh

i swear whenever i attack i just lag bro its so dumb

[twin kraken]

Bro Pina alone gets 5x more rebounds every game compared to my whole team and u say it's luck

[twin kraken]

Damn

[deep trench]

can I reach div 5

[red rose]

with ur team prolly easily

[twin kraken]

Lol why do u ask when we have no idea what your skill level is and how u play?

[vernal warren]

Easy

[tough vector]

don’t know what else to say, if it’s not luck then defend better

[twin kraken]

Can I see ur team

[deep trench]

I also have no idea what my skill level is and how I play

[red rose]

better than most div 7 players im just butt cheeks

[twin kraken]

Oh yea defend better when ea has mudded manual defending 👍👍

[red rose]

however my team hasnt changed for like 3 weeks so

[twin kraken]

Can I see

[red rose]

alr

[tough vector]

I mean i’m able to defend?

[twin kraken]

So am I but Pina and Mbappe always gets the rebounds

[noble idol]

He offered money to people to play his champs games

What skill level do u think he will be in

😹

[twin kraken]

Yesterday I played 4 drafts, won all and conceded like 10 goals in total in 16 games

[twin kraken]

Omfg

[red rose]

Which better?

[tough vector]

congrats bro

[scenic cape]

U don’t understand the meaning of words

[twin kraken]

Is this real

[round prism]

updating it rn

[red rose]

U need to update the game?

[scenic cape]

Yeah

[twin kraken]

Use Gullit as cm

[red rose]

Cm?

Instead of?

[scenic cape]

Now u won’t cry everyday

[twin kraken]

Thank god EA 🥳🥳🥳

[red rose]

He is bad at defending tho?

[round prism]

goodluck w ppl who used to rely on ai def

[deep trench]

ggs ig I can't do anything rn

😢

[twin kraken]

Instead of Essien/Guerreiro depends who u like more

[twin kraken]

Bro fr

[round prism]

ikr

[red rose]

Ye essien is like inconsistent

Then griez at cam?

[deep trench]

me

should I save for a toty evo?

[scenic cape]

Ai defending and normal defending same thing

[twin kraken]

Yes if u can't afford anyone else, Fermin is probably good there too

[twin kraken]

Lol no it isn't

[red rose]

who can i buy for cam or st

i have 500k

iss the market really bad rn btw?

[twin kraken]

U can go to futbin and find someone who u think is good

[red rose]

alr

[round prism]

musiala

[deep trench]

pedri is 330k??

[red rose]

idont like pedri icl

[deep trench]

why?

[red rose]

i tried his base he feels so fat

idk about that card

[deep trench]

I tried both

[vernal warren]

Real

[red rose]

incisive pass is so good tho

[deep trench]

tried the ww in draft

[vernal warren]

Feels like a torta on the field

[red rose]

baha

[deep trench]

wayy better

[twin kraken]

Ww is so much better than his gold

[deep trench]

opposite of fat

[red rose]

why does he feel liek that when he is so short

[vernal warren]

Gullit clears

[red rose]

ye

gullit cm?

[vernal warren]

Yes

[red rose]

hmm

i need a cam bruh

[vernal warren]

I use gullit and abily as cm

[red rose]

i wish i cld get cruyff

i use guerreiro

[deep trench]

I wish I could get pedri

[vernal warren]

He’s insane

[twin kraken]

U can try Zico

[red rose]

500K?

[deep trench]

he's 400k I think

[twin kraken]

Baby zico is 300k

[red rose]

oh wow

380k

is he good?

[twin kraken]

U play on pc?

[red rose]

ye

are his play styles good?

[twin kraken]

Yes he has all good playstyles and decent stats

[twin kraken]

Yes

[deep trench]

is gold dembele good

[red rose]

yes

[twin kraken]

He's basically cheaper cruyff

[red rose]

u think he is suitable for my team

[twin kraken]

U should try him

[twin kraken]

Not worth buying

[red rose]

is it worth buying rn?

[deep trench]

could iniesta be better for him?

[vernal warren]

Is dalot good

I js got him

[twin kraken]

I mean, almost every card is going down because of the toty panic selling

[mighty sky]

yeah he's good

[deep trench]

why are they panic selling

[red rose]

every card going down?

[twin kraken]

But honestly just have fun, don't think about coins so much

[twin kraken]

Almost

[red rose]

i worry alot lmao

u think i shld wait or?

[vernal warren]

Him or Carreras? They need to drop an evo for Carreras fasttt

[twin kraken]

You're in div 7 so the main thing u can do is have fun and use fun cards

[mighty sky]

dalot rb carerras lb

[deep trench]

is iniesta better than zico?

[twin kraken]

How about smoothness

[red rose]

can ur suggest chem styles for my players cos idk how it works

[twin kraken]

Do u have both

[red rose]

i havent used any

[deep trench]

I mean for him bc they're both less than 500k

[mighty sky]

both good in their pos, waiting for a carreras or theo evo

[twin kraken]

Use shadow for defensive players and engine/hunter on attacking players depending on their stats

[red rose]

i shall try

[twin kraken]

I don't know the pc prices

[vernal warren]

Carreras is 71k rn lol I js checked evo might be incoming

[deep trench]

almost same as ps prices

[twin kraken]

Alr thx for the review

[deep trench]

but u think it's better for him?

[twin kraken]

Iniesta is over 500k on console

[twin kraken]

Probably not

[deep trench]

87 zico better?

[twin kraken]

Yeah

[mighty sky]

people have been waiting for an evo for him, pro favourite card too

[deep trench]

100k difference in price

[twin kraken]

How much is iniesta on pc

And which version

[deep trench]

480k

normal one

base icon

[red rose]

Ye exactly 100k diff

[vernal warren]

I played 1 game w dalot and his price tag is not justified. Carreras is much better

I’m so happy I bought Carreras for 35k lol

[deep trench]

other version is better but he's 560k

[twin kraken]

Zico definitely better than base iniesta

[mighty sky]

Carerras has that thing in game that theo had last year, i shoulda bought too

[twin kraken]

Also Iniesta might get toty sbc

[mighty sky]

where did ya ehar that

[deep trench]

better not be expensive

[mighty sky]

ez 2 mil

[vernal warren]

He literally just grabs the ball from anywhere.

[twin kraken]

It's not 100% but people have been talking about it

[twin kraken]

Toty icon iniesta... Easy over a mil card

[mighty sky]

i bought theo otherwise i'd buy him too, im committing to as many Milan players as possible

should have a mil by toty but market is ded

[deep trench]

good price ig

[red rose]

shld i try and wait for zico price to fall?

[twin kraken]

Don't worry about coins just buy him

[red rose]

hmmm

i will buy tmr

[scenic cape]

Same thing both are easy

[twin kraken]

AI defending was op and manual defending was rigged with rebounds

[mighty sky]

Can confirm the manual rebounds thing its mind blowingly infuriating

tackle and win the ball and the passive attacker spins round and just takes it again

80% of my conceded goals are that garbage cuz when ea want you to get scored on there's nothing you can do

[deep trench]

wdym only 😭

[twin kraken]

Bro fr Pina and Mbappe are rebound magnets

[deep trench]

should I buy pedro neto?

[mighty sky]

i can deal with mbappe shocking as that is but pipna oh lordy lord

y'all seen the clip of pina bodying vvd and scoring after a jammy rebound

[deep trench]

oh so I should do pina evo?

[mighty sky]

pina is just broken bro, use her if you like

do whatever helps your club

[deep trench]

I wanna see what's broken about her

never understand what ppl are saying

[mighty sky]

just use the gold for a few games to get an idea

she's like 4k maybe

[twin kraken]

I hope they nerfed rebounds in the latest patch

😭😭

Why ea

[mighty sky]

that crap is built in since they switched to new gen

[twin kraken]

Yea I guess

[twin kraken]

I play on old gen for the more old fifa vibes and cuz I don't like the acceleration types but it's still full of the same crap

[mighty sky]

ain't shi changed

fifa 23 on old gen was my last good fifa game

soon as i got my ps5 it went to crap

[twin kraken]

U can play old gen on ps5

I also could play on new gen if I wanted to

[mighty sky]

i know

but im set in my ways on this game now

cba relearning again

old gen had issues too lol corner bikes galore its just a broken game now

[twin kraken]

It's basically the same game but without lengthy stuff

[mighty sky]

yeah lengthy stuff is far from my concern with this game

[twin kraken]

I've tried both btw

[twin kraken]

Yea I just don't like it at all

It's so useless

[tough vector]

Do you’s ever not complain? You do know you don’t have to play

[twin kraken]

We already had acceleration and sprint speed

[twin kraken]

I'm not even complaining

Lol

[mighty sky]

yeah kinda why my playtime has gone down year on year, gets too boring after a point

its not complaining the game is just that busted on a fundamental level

[twin kraken]

Do u think I'm cooked if I can't really use r1 dribbling

[tough vector]

I don’t actually think the game is that bad, I think people just feel too hard done by when they lose or something doesn’t go their way

[twin kraken]

Okay good

[versed wagon]

can't judge the AI change in 3 games, give it a whole WL and we will talk

[twin kraken]

So basically just play football

And u win games

[mighty sky]

i hear that completely, but icl some days the gameplay is genuinely unplayable

can't have the weight of the damn thing shift on every login

no consistency

[twin kraken]

EA made too many changes towards heavier gameplay and didn't fix the broken mechanics

[mighty sky]

i maintain this was the best fc title for the first few weeks, all we needed was a manual jockey speed buff and a corner/kick off nerf

now its fc 25 2.0

[twin kraken]

Maybe the game actually works for me now

[twin kraken]

Maybe not anymore

After the latest patch

[mighty sky]

i'll finish out rivals today i'll see how it is now

[versed wagon]

placebo effect for the first games, every patch is the same story. Has always been like this. After a week everyone will say the patch did nothing

[tough vector]

There’s always times since Fifa 20 i’d say the gameplay feels heavy, it’s nothing new

[mighty sky]

but as someone who has played this game for well over a decade its only been a downhill slide

[twin kraken]

I don't remember having heavy gameplay in fifa 23 for example

[mighty sky]

nah it was there

this game being trash doesn't automatically the rest golden

[versed wagon]

and they didn't adress the core issues of the game so it will basically feel the exact same

[mighty sky]

they can't without swapping their engine

which is expensive

people buy the game and points anyway

financially speaking why change the product when people still buy and spend on it

[deep trench]

should I learn how to do skill moves?

[mighty sky]

at some point we all gotta put our money where our mouths are

[twin kraken]

I mean that's the problem with gaming, everyone thinks about money not about how good the game actually is

[mighty sky]

welcome to capitalism

you'll enjoy 600 dollar ram sticks and planned obsolescence

[twin kraken]

Learn some skills like mcgeady/berba spin cancel and explosive step over

[deep trench]

I heard ball roll is useful

[twin kraken]

Well that one u should already know how it's done

[deep trench]

yeah but idk when to use it

and is elastico useful?

[twin kraken]

U will find out by using it

[twin kraken]

For me very rarely

I don't skill much tho

[deep trench]

I just lost a rivals game

I was gonna reach div 5

if I won that game

[twin kraken]

Did u even try to use AI defending

[deep trench]

yeah. it felt like it does nothing

[versed wagon]

skill moves are just used to create space for a shot or a pass, skilling has been awful for the past few years. You can go to elite with only ball roll @deep trench

[twin kraken]

Well maybe learn manual defending

And you'll win games

[deep trench]

I don't know when to use ball roll

[twin kraken]

Tbh I never use ball roll

[deep trench]

I lost to someone who did a ball roll and shot

[versed wagon]

body feints (left stick drib) is more important

[mighty sky]

focus more on l1 r1 dribbling imo

and basic left stick

[deep trench]

is l1 good?

[mighty sky]

its fundamental

[versed wagon]

you mean the l1 stop?

[mighty sky]

yeah focus more on basic stop and go movement, feints etc

[twin kraken]

U learn the mechanics better if u use them and find out what they actually do

[deep trench]

I never used l1 dribbling

[deep trench]

I tried and felt that l1 is so bad

[versed wagon]

if he's on console forget about it, the delay makes l1 stops so inconsistent

still worth learning

[deep trench]

I'm on pc

[versed wagon]

then do it

and ball roll is just a small flick to the side

[mighty sky]

yeah its trash icl but muscle memory forces me

plus when gameplay is good its a no brainer

its what i mean by consistency

if the mechanics are broken let them be consistently broken

[twin kraken]

Lol same

[mighty sky]

same for ball roll scoops berbas and reverse elasticos

[twin kraken]

Yeah

McGeady spin cancel is still good tho

And explosive step over

That's about it

[mighty sky]

yeah

this year is more ls for me

[twin kraken]

For me it's just tiki taka

Instead of dribbling

[mighty sky]

doesn't work for me when half my team is marked out by a 451

my dudes need to be able to beat at least their own man

[twin kraken]

Hopefully the new patch nerfed that one too

[mighty sky]

atp they'll start working on the next game

so i've accepted this is what it is

[long lodge]

I think I’m gonna save gauntlet packs for team 2

Since team1 all you really hope for is messi, garrincha or reus possibly

[deep trench]

messi is better than anything tho

[twin kraken]

Did u try the new patch yet

[long lodge]

No lol

[twin kraken]

But impossible to pack

[twin kraken]

I'd just save till toty at that point

[long lodge]

Well yeah I’ll wait until team 2 is out

And if it’s just as bad

[mighty sky]

nah im killing time at work rn

[long lodge]

I’ll wait

[deep trench]

higher chance than toty

[deep trench]

yes lol

[long lodge]

Nope nowhere near

[twin kraken]

Toty has also honorable mentions and icons

U won't be opening everything to get one card

[long lodge]

They don’t put best of into toty?

I can’t remember

[twin kraken]

No

They did one during ww

[deep trench]

doesn't that release later?

[long lodge]

Ah true

[twin kraken]

When the full toty is released

[deep trench]

aren't chances worse

[twin kraken]

U have 24 totys, all icons and hm in packs

Vs one Messi

Which one is better to save packs for

[spark tendon]

am i the only one that thinks cantona is really close to ginola but somehow gets half priced by him?

ginola even has a worse dribbling split, arguably worse playstyles too

[mighty sky]

cantona ps+ is borderline useless thats why

[spark tendon]

only 4 more pace and 1 wf

[twin kraken]

Cantona with 86 pace isn't enough for st

[mighty sky]

playstyles over stats

[spark tendon]

agree on that, but technical aint really it on tall ones

i like it on maradona but not on tall players

[mighty sky]

more relevant than power+ for sure, thats all

[spark tendon]

ye thats the thing, cantona one is like bottom trash

ginola is like almost out of the trash

for his context

[twin kraken]

Ngl Ginola isn't as good as before anymore

Same last year

[mighty sky]

this game favours shorter players imo

[spark tendon]

ye i was checking his stats and i think most of his price is about his status

[mighty sky]

Ginola was busted when he first came out

[spark tendon]

more than his actual stats or in game performance

[mighty sky]

fc24 he was good too

[twin kraken]

And rarity

[spark tendon]

ye too

still im glad i got cantona in the icon pick, could had been much worse

[twin kraken]

But neither of them are that good in game

[spark tendon]

i hopefully can get a few powershot goals

but i been struggling massively with those

[twin kraken]

Don't even try

[twin kraken]

Cuz they're so nerfed

[mighty sky]

no time or space in this game personally

[twin kraken]

If he just had cam position...

[spark tendon]

still i wanna get a consistant way to score them

[twin kraken]

There is no consistent way

[spark tendon]

im thinking of using him here

[twin kraken]

Trivela/finesse is so much better

[mighty sky]

show me that maradona

[spark tendon]

there IS one, but its unrealistic calling it a consistant way

[mighty sky]

man i love silver icons

[twin kraken]

Damn bro Toure as cdm?

[twin kraken]

So fun

[spark tendon]

he's amazing in there

more cuz i use cdm's and defenders just to defend

[twin kraken]

Damnnn

[spark tendon]

i dont attack with them

[mighty sky]

yeah that's well formatted gg

[twin kraken]

Yea but u still need good passing

[mighty sky]

ea stop being dirty strumpets and drop the ball control boost

release it with a cap idc

[spark tendon]

sadly i f-ed up his physique split

[twin kraken]

That'd be too op for gullit

[spark tendon]

because i gave him an evo that gave everything but strength

and the next day came one that gave strength 😭

[mighty sky]

its aight

[twin kraken]

U don't need strength for maradona

[mighty sky]

i messed up my eusebio chain and he's still a freak

[spark tendon]

thats why im holding myself off with gullit, i dont wanna give him 90 stamina and get him on the 70's in the rest of the stats

i rather much have bad pace than bad of the rest

[spark tendon]

feel u, i missed on having glitched pele without silver star rarity

[twin kraken]

I wish there were enough evos to do another icon evo so I could do Dalglish or Garrincha

But there are no evos left

[spark tendon]

cuz my dumbas5 forgot had 2 matchs left when a glitched evo came out

[spark tendon]

there been alot but u gotta use them carefully

[deep trench]

my gullit got a red card

[mighty sky]

nah not the rarity i screwed up the chain

[twin kraken]

Yea but I used them on Gullit

He ate every evo

[deep trench]

we need more gullit evos

[spark tendon]

oh, thought u meant the other, cuz some people got non silver star eusebio

[mighty sky]

nah nah

[mighty sky]

this my boy coulda had 85 ball control

[spark tendon]

u gave him the hook + anticipate one?

[mighty sky]

now I'm running marksman and giving up on pace for dribbling

[spark tendon]

the new one from the bronze cup

[deep trench]

is he good?

[twin kraken]

I gave him tiki taka base instead of intercept

[spark tendon]

ye, still 4sm is a fked up evo ngl sorry

[mighty sky]

flat out busted averages 4 a game

[deep trench]

I couldn't get him

[mighty sky]

it's fine I can live without it on the st

[deep trench]

bc I started late

[spark tendon]

mine is nothing crazy stats wise but he has anticipate and hook

and those are the only 2 playstyles i wanted for him, along with bruiser

[mighty sky]

this year is more left stick than skilling anyway

[spark tendon]

but i rather have them over bruiser, hopefully next time

[deep trench]

how's my gullit

[spark tendon]

i mean ye but skills always help if you know how to use them

[twin kraken]

I just have a bit higher shooting defending and physical

[spark tendon]

ps?

[deep trench]

ppl complain about 4 sm?

[mighty sky]

thats what i got Cruyff Dinho and Jairzinho for lol he's there to run thru on goal and slot it in

[mighty sky]

no 5 star wf is a problem on a st skills are eh good to have em not a deal breaker without em

[spark tendon]

ye ik, mine could but i just spend alot of evos on other players, as u might have seen my team is or was more themed than anything, im running a boca past and present

[twin kraken]

Bro we have basically the same evo but I just have more defending

[spark tendon]

just recently went a bit to the side getting a few of the players i like

[deep trench]

I'll unlock brute defense soon

[twin kraken]

👍

[spark tendon]

wouldn't say people, but at least in my case unless the player has something special to him i want him to be 5sm

[spark tendon]

u packed cruyff?

[mighty sky]

preference thing at that point

[twin kraken]

A few evos for attacking silver icons is all I need

[deep trench]

I'm good with 3 sm is that normal

[twin kraken]

3* is manageable but not good

[mighty sky]

I'm using this mostly evo chains with good stats trynna force Milan players in

[deep trench]

doesn't make a difference to me. 5 or 1 won't affect me

[spark tendon]

ig, i can surely tell your gameplay isnt really innovative but u do u

[twin kraken]

Do u use assisted or precision shooting

[deep trench]

precision

[spark tendon]

i do milan p&p too but at the end of the game mostly, im not that big of a fan

just do boca p&p and argentina teams at most

[mighty sky]

Can't help it it's my team lol

[twin kraken]

Yea I bet it doesn't

[spark tendon]

i like themed teams like giants only n stuff like that

[spark tendon]

is cool tho

[mighty sky]

honestly ea just gimme ball control and all is forgiven

[deep trench]

doesn't make a difference to me

[twin kraken]

Yea they're fun. I'm just trying to use one player for the whole year every time

[mighty sky]

front 4 of icons is always cool to me

[twin kraken]

Maybe in div 6 it doesn't idk

[mighty sky]

i only play for icons and milanese players

[twin kraken]

Haven't been there in ages

[deep trench]

u need skill moves to reach higher divisions?

[spark tendon]

agree, i really like using known players or my personal favourites, sometimes i slip a few randoms in like silas but still

[deep trench]

ig I'll have to learn them

[spark tendon]

some i just like because of fifa

[twin kraken]

Just learn to defend

[deep trench]

using skill moves?

how

[twin kraken]

Omg

Defending... U don't know what that means?

[mighty sky]

true, camavinga is that random rn rest are all either legends or players i love watching

[spark tendon]

as in NEED, no, but your gameplay will be just plain boring imo

i personally like to just attack straight forward, no back passes no nothing

as much going straight to goal as possible

[mighty sky]

same

[spark tendon]

and for that u need skills

[deep trench]

but they're so hard to use

[spark tendon]

unless u doing back or side passes alot

there u dont need skills

[twin kraken]

Same I just play tiki taka with my st/cam every time

[mighty sky]

i go down the middle none of this weakling byline cutback crap

[twin kraken]

Learn the basics first before skill moves

[mighty sky]

learn ball roll first

[deep trench]

what basics?

[deep trench]

ok

[spark tendon]

idk if u guys been there but elite and some of div 1 gameplay is just the complete opposite, just side passing and back passing to keep possession

and if they score 1 goal, however they do they will just waste time

[mighty sky]

yeah and its the most boring and ded gameplay to face

[spark tendon]

no matter whats the time

[mighty sky]

actual no lifer gameplay

[spark tendon]

100%, i keep myself away from there because its just so boring i rather not even play it

[twin kraken]

Defending and simple attacking

[mighty sky]

people say oh the ProS PlAy LiKe ThAt like yeah bro im sure playing like a pro gets you an extra katoto from your player picks

[stray tiger]

I am new to fc 26 i upgraded the pass yesterday and my SP shows 10k/10k any help how to unlock

[mighty sky]

they play for cash you play to waste ur own time being a rat

[spark tendon]

its bullcrap tho

[twin kraken]

Yea especially against boring people they just pass back and keep possession around ur box

[deep trench]

I know how

[spark tendon]

pro level from elite level is way far

way more far than people realize

[mighty sky]

yup

[twin kraken]

Manual defending not AI

[spark tendon]

its like calling an ssl in rocket league close to a pro player

[deep trench]

yes. I know

[spark tendon]

just not there

[twin kraken]

U can always be better

[mighty sky]

i mean maybe they enjoy larping as a quasi pro but ngl makes the game ded for me

[deep trench]

u can also be better. improve before u learn skill moves

[stray tiger]

any help is much appreciated

[twin kraken]

That's what I'm saying to u since you're div 6

[mighty sky]

its a visual glitch, ignore

progress will still count

[deep trench]

won't learning skill moves help me reach higher divisions?

[twin kraken]

Better defending and attacking helps u more

U can learn simple skill moves if u want

[deep trench]

so skill moves are useless? why were u saying that I should learn them

[twin kraken]

But I use almost no skill moves in elite

[spark tendon]

u know whats actually real crazy

[twin kraken]

They're not useless if u actually know how to use them but better defending and attacking helps u way more

[tranquil mauve]

Packed Carlos Alberto from icon pack with gauntlet rewards

[twin kraken]

And good tactics

[spark tendon]

i rarely ever use non 5sm strikers

[mighty sky]

icl reverse elasticos off a pinged pass make the game fun

[mighty sky]

same but cam, st i can live with since he's there to run thru the cam has to be 5/5

[spark tendon]

yet totti somehow managed to score the 3 type of goals i been struggling alot to score in the last few years

[spark tendon]

here

[mighty sky]

big dubs all round thats a gg

[spark tendon]

i havent scored a trivela corner since fifa 23, a scorpion since fc 24 and a half pitch goal since fifa 22

[mighty sky]

Its totti gladiators are built different

[tranquil mauve]

The heck is the keeper?

[spark tendon]

bro is just having some fun, i get him

i scored alot of freekicks with my goalie too

[deep trench]

I can learn them while just playing the game unlike skill moves

[spark tendon]

its the ultimate humilliation

[tranquil mauve]

At 0-0 is crazy tho 😭

[twin kraken]

Tf u mean? U can learn skill moves in games too

[spark tendon]

real man

[deep trench]

I need to use them tho

[spark tendon]

doing stuff just when winning is not as valid as doing them while tied or even losing

[mighty sky]

average eafc crash out

[twin kraken]

Nah bro that's so cold

[spark tendon]

btw, speaking of non 5sm players, this gotta be the only decent play i got with a 3sm player this year 😭

[twin kraken]

So? Just use them if u really want to

[spark tendon]

i wish i knew how to move them like ozilla, like i know all the skills itg too, but he moves 3sm so smoothly

[mighty sky]

man pc just moves so smooth

[twin kraken]

Bro is crazy

[mighty sky]

console is hell by comparison with the touches

[twin kraken]

Haha fr

[deep trench]

which should I use that will help me win

[spark tendon]

its better ik

[twin kraken]

I have said it probably 5 times already

[spark tendon]

thx, still need to improve my non 5sm game

[twin kraken]

Go watch YouTube tutorials on best fc 26 skills

[mighty sky]

i didn't believe it until i played on my homies pc like holy hell

[mighty sky]

get a eusebio lmao

[spark tendon]

i have a real smooth gameplay too cuz i play 240hz 4ms

[twin kraken]

Even though it's smoother on pc that's u r so cold with the skills

[mighty sky]

30ms on console unfortunately

[spark tendon]

ye i wont deny that either

not like anyone can just do what i do just because they dont have pc gameplay

[twin kraken]

Wish they fixed console gameplay I'd be cooking so hard

[mighty sky]

yeah exactly still ico cold

just an observation game looks like its flying there

[spark tendon]

but i have been on both sides of the rope and i know pc is just better

[twin kraken]

Yea no way they could do that

[red rose]

240hz is crazy my monitor has like 75hz

[mighty sky]

Beating a good pc player after accidentally leaving cross play on always feels great thanks to this

[spark tendon]

bought it with my first job after a few months lol

it was my dream to have a 240hz

[red rose]

damn nice

[mighty sky]

it a rig or laptop?

[deep trench]

I also play on 240hz

[spark tendon]

regular pc, bought it on the last month i was working on that same job

[tranquil mauve]

Talking about smooth gameplay while I’m playing on 90-200 ping 😭

[spark tendon]

ye thats just a reason to quit bro 😭

[mighty sky]

i had a console so couldn't justify a whole pc that stays unused half the day so i upgraded my laptop and 240hz is busted

[spark tendon]

why even bother playing

[tranquil mauve]

Lmao

It’s temporary

[spark tendon]

we not in 2014 when 90-200 was the average ping

[spark tendon]

oh if it is a you problem better, cuz if the problem was you have no servers on your region then u fked

[mighty sky]

I've hit my servers max and it's still painfully slow

[spark tendon]

i went for a setup because laptops are more expensive when going for the same performance

and i dont really need one in any context

college is just paper and pen

and i work from home now

[tranquil mauve]

Yeah waiting for a reinstall of service because of moving so I’m using data currently

[mighty sky]

in my country with parts hitting the way they are the laptop was cheaper overall, bonus of having a nice workstation

[spark tendon]

ig that makes it better

[peak widget]

What should I upgrade?

[spark tendon]

🐀

[tranquil mauve]

Ngl dudes who have to live with 70+ ping by default just be vibing fr because you can’t compete

[mighty sky]

zephyrus was like 1200 for context the monitor i wanted was 500 alone

[tranquil mauve]

Saliba in January
