For me it's all the clutching and grabbing in matches. I understand it's part of the game but maybe occasionally a foul could be called.

MC Prussian Posted 26 November 2018 Posted 26 November 2018 So, the previously rumoured 88 OVR Flashback card isn't Vardy, ... ... it's Pato. Somewhat underwhelming. But they just can't dish out PL players all the time, so I understand where they are coming from.

Just given EA another 12 cards. i don’t know why I do it. I guess it is the gambler in us all. House always wins. Same, just seems an absolute joke at times. It’s a really god TOTW this week so gamble is kind of worth it but makes it more depressing when you get a 78 player. I got Batshuayi for my latest. Come on...
MC Prussian Posted 26 November 2018 Posted 26 November 2018 What is this shit?? I take the lead 2-1 in the first half with a one-man advantage. After the break, my players start to move at 50% of their regular speed and I can't really control them, bags of cement... Then I go on to lose 2-3. I feel betrayed. The game punishes you for having a one-man advantage! I just won a game with a man less on the pitch.
Ashley Posted 26 November 2018 Author Posted 26 November 2018 Inform VVD. Yeow. Just need Kane again now.
Devonfox1884 Posted 26 November 2018 Posted 26 November 2018 Pedro is mine! Looking forward to using him.
Buzzell Posted 26 November 2018 Posted 26 November 2018 Well lads, I took the risk didn’t I.... *SMUG MODE ACTIVATED*

Larry_LCFC Posted 26 November 2018 Posted 26 November 2018 88 teams in division 5? All starting to get slightly ****ing silly now.

It's easier than it's ever been to have a good team, you get rewarded just for quantity really, smash out a load of squad battles, SBCs and rivals and even if you're wank you're going to have stuff to play with. It's a shame match making pays no mind to squad rating admittedly but then you'd probably just get people bronze benching again if they did anyway. Did say I wasn't going to do any untradeables this cos I pissed a lot away doing lots of special cards last year. Caved and did Pato mind. He only cost me about 50k as I had a lot of crap lying round my club including all my weekend rewards. Quite like him so far.

Probably opened 300-400 packs this year and not had a single player above 84.

Yeah but even without opening packs it's, what, 50+ for Rivals every week, plus whatever you earn from matches, probably about another 30+ from the WL. And even crap pack luck is still a few extra thousand in there, you can comfortably clear 100k a week without trading. That's not going to get you icons in a hurry but a week or two and you'll be picking up a Griezmann or Dybala or something who aren't much worse.
Osavo Posted 27 November 2018 Posted 27 November 2018 Built a new PL team and have been on a great run in division 5 tonight, playing 8 and winning 7 of them. Still though, irritating to come up against teams with OTW Ronaldo and Rui Costa at that level. Team is 4-3-1-2 GK: Pickford RB: Ricardo CB: Stones CB: Bailly LB: IF Chilly CM: Oxlade-chamberlain CM: Fred CM: Doucoure CAM: Lingard ST: Vardy ST: IF Arnautovic Vardy is absolutely insane. Plays like a player rated way above 82.

Seriously, it really pissed me off. Slowing down my players on purpose because the game needs to even out the playing field for the sake of it is pretty low.
howlinmadmurfdoc Posted 27 November 2018 Posted 27 November 2018 Just got Fabinho out of the flash SBC, already had him untradeable so £££. Not sure why he sells for more than Fernandinho, Matic and David Silva combined though.
Finnegan Posted 27 November 2018 Posted 27 November 2018 Best. Patch. Ever. As someone that has always, always, always manually defended and who likes to play possession, this is absolutely divine. Two things stand out for me. Firstly, watching idiots who haven't read the patch notes try and rush press you and just passing the ball round them haha. The second is that, as someone that manually defends and always uses standing tackle, it's cracking me up how much other people are apparently not used to it. I used to give away far, far, more fouls than my opponents because they were always tackling with an AI defender. Now I'm getting fouled left, right and centre by people that have no idea how to time their manual tackles This is glorious.

Just remember to turn off ‘constant pressure’ in your tactics if you ever used it. It now fvcks your team up for stamina if you have it on all game. I’m looking forward to seeing how the game plays now with the new patch.
MC Prussian Posted 27 November 2018 Posted 27 November 2018 New patch has helped me, too. Can compile more wins now - and even draws, imagine. Game feels more natural and my defense can now carry that title with pride. Also, to the people using constant pressure: The joke's now on you, enjoy your massive drop in stamina, suckers. Btw, stamina drops in general have now increased, no matter what the tactics, keep that in mind. And the fitness cards at the ready.

MC Prussian Posted 27 November 2018 Posted 27 November 2018 TOTW predictions for Wednesday's bunch? My suggestions: Bundesliga Watch Caligiuri make it with three assists against Nuremberg - so much for his League SBC card (unless they make it a RM card this week). Lukebakio - hattrick for Düsseldorf against Bayern Munich. Volland - two goals against Stuttgart Roussillon for scoring the winner against RB Leipzig Piszczek - scored the 2-1 winner away at Mainz La Liga Sergi Enrich - Eibar's best player in their 3-0 win against Real Madrid Santi Mina - two goals for Valencia Tomas Vaclik - kept a clean sheet for the new La Liga leaders Sevilla Christian Stuani - two goals for Girona against Espanyol Serie A Keita Baldé - two goals for Inter against Frosinone Stefano Sorrentino - kept a clean sheet away at Napoli Nikola Milenkovic - Fiorentina's best player in a goalless draw at Bologna Premier League Mitrovic - two goals Dele Alli Aaron Mooy - two goals for Huddersfield Wayne Hennessey - clean sheet away at Manchester United Michael Keane Other Kobylanski (Preussen Münster) - hattrick against Braunschweig Vinicius (Rio Ave) - two goals against Nacional Karaca (Alanyaspor) - best player in a 5-0 thrashing of Kayserispor Josué (Kasimpasa) - goal and best player in the home win against Malatyaspor Janssen (Utrecht) - goal and best player in a 5-0 home win vs. De Graafschap Jack Grealish - goal and best player in the derby win against Birmingham Adriano (Spartak) - goal and best player against Samara
AKCJ Posted 27 November 2018 Posted 27 November 2018 I've always used press on heavy touch rather than constant pressure, has the patch screwed that up?
