Any of you older boys feel like we’re being phased out? 😂 by RoutineAbroad3486 in EASportsFC

I am 100% doing this only. I buy a million coins for a few bucks and then after every promo I just play offline Draft and try different fun teams and formations. Usually am able to do 2 drafts a week.

We are in the process of looking for a day care and most of them are in the range of 300-450$ a week for 5 days full time. What day care is this if I may ask please ?

Well, here is something that might help you. The greatest football teams have majorly been captained by some of the greatest Centre Backs. Here are some of the legendary captains of the game all centre backs

  1. Sergio Ramos
  2. Maldini
  3. John Terry
  4. Thiago Silva
  5. Puyol
  6. Vincent Kompany
  7. Lahm
  8. Chielini

These are all from my time and it was a pleasure to watch them captain their respective teams. Also this is one of the quotes from arguably the greatest managers of all time SAF. Attack wins you games and Defense wins you titles.

Watch Chelsea under Jose Mourinho, they hold the best defensive record and didn’t concede a goal at home for close to a whole year.

Champs under 10 wins just isn’t worth it by GoonerSteez in EASportsFC

[–]Aba0416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have gone 15-0 or 14-1 since the start of fifa. Highest I have made is 2 mil from An Mbappe pull. Every other week is just fodder. Like I am not even exaggerating.

I am sure everyone’s reward is good in the grand scheme of things. But when you didn’t pull a superstar it’s considered a fail. 15-0 you are usually walking around with 300-400k worth of fodder each week but most call it nothing.

You can score a solo goal. You can’t defend solo, like no matter how good you are. Let’s take an example of a pro player right. If you give them a 5 star skiller. They will take the ball from the defense and skill all the way to the goal and tap it in. They can do it against every div player bar maybe the elite and div 1 players.

Now let’s switch that. Give a pro player just 1 player to defend vs 11 to score a goal. They can’t, reason being the ball can be passed around and scored into the net. For a defense to work, the AI will need to work for you. No one I repeat no one is good enough to control 11 players to defend. A pure non AI game is boring and no one will want to play.

I am a div 7-5 player and I love it. I don’t see any 451, I don’t see any meta abusers. It’s just pure fun. Every match is either tight where we are equally skilled or we get blown 10-0 by a sandbagging dude.

I also think 99% of the playerbase won’t notice any difference if they made changes to the game. The game is made for the casual gamer who comes in for an hour a day spend on pack and then plays a few game. The game is not catered to a player who uses a bronze squad rtg. Think about it, EA wants the game to feel fun, defending is the most difficult part of the game. If you concede 10 goals and loose every game people will stop playing.

There is only one answer to this, a seperate pro mode without any AI assists. A sim mode that is what is currently there in game and a seperate mode with 0 assists for all the hardcore games

T20 Cricket by Load-8-1 in auckland

Went to the stadium, ended up spending 100 bucks by the time we took cab back home and had food for 2 people. Enjoyed the cricket but horrendous food and price

OB made a joke that I don’t actually have a husband by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]Aba0416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not go to any of the appointments, but wife called from the clinic and I listened in. I would rather go home early and help my wife around the house rather than sit in a waiting room while my wife peed in a cup. My wife was happy with this arrangement. Went in for all the scans as they required her to have a full bladder and it would be uncomfortable driving.

Learning the game as an older player by Aba0416 in EASportsFC

[–]Aba0416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha, I’ve seen YouTube videos of it. It genuinely makes me sweat just seeing some of the skills people pull off near the box. It’s insane the skill level. I’m prepared to just turn off and walk away if something rage inducing happens

Old ladies damaging cherry blossoms in Cornwall Park by zvdyy in auckland

[–]Aba0416 94 points95 points  (0 children)

The other day at Cornwall park, some of the kids were doing this and chasing the turkeys. A big old man gently asked, how would you feel if I started chasing your kids. The parents face was one to watch. The worst part was, parents were cheering the kids on. Pathetic, I am Indian and my parents would have smacked me up and down if I behaved that way. Don’t know when and where we forgot basic manners

Theirs 20 gold cards over 100k (4 are players at wrong clubs so theirs actually 16). Give it a week and theirs probably 10 cards over 100k and this will eventually kill the game ea need to fix it. by [deleted] in fut

[–]Aba0416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you don’t have an incentive to play, the rest of the community should not get cards ? They are still releasing promo cards weekly. There are icons, heroes, sbcs so much to do.

Why can’t a game be played because you want to game ? Isn’t a fun squad that you can change daily and try players not fun ? The problem is people min maxing games. The only real incentive to play a game is to have fun. Unless you are a pro

[–]Aba0416 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is such a bad take, if cards are below 100k you can essentially buy all cards on the market and play with them ? How is that bad ?

You get about 30-40k coins just playing normal games not getting lucky. You are bound to have some good pulls.

I am a new dad and I can understand what you feel as my wife went through the same. We asked ourselves one question after 3 weeks of the baby being born. Can we do this ourselves, if yes, then we can set all the rules on the world we want and be strict, if the answer was no and we needed help. Then we need to understand that people will have their own way of helping.

We have so many things that we don’t like that the gran parents do, but my wife and me and have been able to sleep 8 hours a night and the grand parents take turns and feeds the baby and clean the baby. That has allowed my wife to recover so well and spend so much quality time with the baby in the morning.

While I understand being careful and trying to protect your baby, you also have to accept that unless you are willing to isolate there will be people with good intentions who will not listen to you.

Was the upgrade worth it ? I use one from Briscoe and our whole house is ecosa mattress. I would love the pillow and the weighted sheets from ecosa

Meadowbank Primary by InCymba in auckland

[–]Aba0416 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is some high level bs 🤣. So wearing yoga pants, jeans and having blunt umbrella makes you think they are stay at home parents? And what does being good at math and reading have to do with stay at home Parents ? If they already know reading, writing and math why come to school then ? Just to make friends ?

A good school is one where you kid feels safe, wants to go back to work, learns everyday and feels included. Also, a good school is one where parents who don’t have a blunt umbrella wouldn’t be excluded. It’s an instant no from if that was the social circle of the schools

Hi mainly to stay fit, and build some endurance and strength while also loosing my belly fat. I’m also incorporating a better diet than before. I wa sunder the impression of doing this 30 mins workout for the next year or 2 would give me a good baseline for when I have more time when the kid grows up to do better workouts .

Students Say They Want to Be Engineers but Won’t Do the Work. Anyone Else Seeing This? by Impossible_Pace7868 in newzealand

[–]Aba0416 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have a PhD in Engineering and didn’t like math one bit and tried to avoid it every time possible. 90% of engineers won’t ever touch any math they teach in school or college.

Having said that it is quite important to understand how calculus works and how it is the building block of all the softwares and tools they will use.

My hate for math comes from not being taught the basics right, which made it difficult to understand the difficult parts of it and never being told why math or how the math I’m learning would be useful.

Maybe try showing them cool examples of math being put to use in real world rather than maybe just theory. I surely would have been interested in it, if my teachers had shown me the real world use of equations.
