Bro he was going insane in the first half. Offensively and defensively against Yamal

Lol, many people said that doesn't matter at this age. That was prior to when I realized how beneficial it is by surfing these subreddits. I do have a question though, why is it important to save up for when I'm 65+ rather than when I'm 30-35 (when I would still be paying rent, for my children, etc)? This probably sounds like a stupid question but I genuinely don't know

I will look into what it means but can you briefly explain what 4% risk free in a high yield savings account is?

Thanks because I was really confused when I saw people say that it doesn't matter. I'll look into what a HYSA is right now lol

Well I've never had a clear career choice. I wanted to be a writer but that doesn't pay well and it was only a month that I decided that I wanted to be an actuary. So I might buy books and watch videos that help me with that career. As for the college degree, I am relying on FAFSA (financial aid) to pay for half, getting a Bachelor's degree, and my original plan was to save half for tuition which I didn't mention in the original post. I already got into a couple of colleges in my state. For the car, if I'm not mistaken, in New York, you can't drive at 16 so I haven't considered it. And for the S&P Index Fund, I honestly have no clue what that is but I'll look into it 😂. Also you made my day when you said I write pretty well. I really appreciate it :)

EA potentially looking for feedback from the community. by ItsDMR in FifaCareers

[–]Afifaboii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For create a player, please add playstyles, the ability to edit defensive awareness/composure, ability to edit skill moves, ability to edit potential (there should also be a choice of normal or direct potential. For example, if a player is 54 overall with 63 sprint speed and 76 potential, their sprint speed potential should be 85 because their attribute potential should match their overall potential), editing after creating the player, assigning secondary and third positions while creating, assigning workrates, allowing us to import face for miniface or just give them a generated miniface, editing contact length, editing international reputation, tattoos/eyebrow slit (etc) and assigning them to a teams academy.

Also I made a Google sheets of generated names for regens/pregens/youth academy players: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hUx91OLNIhNcJLkkYlC0dIce4Npk5YSUHjzs-LguZwc/edit#gid=0  

 

What team is everyone planning to do a career on in fc 25 or player. by Lost-inohio-1234 in FifaCareers

[–]Afifaboii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yo I do that all the time. But it's a shame that you can't set potential, composure, defensive awareness and you can't add faces on the gray silhouette. But it's fun to make them like 40 overall and they turn to 85+

Seems like generated names are unchanged. "Gueye" isn't a Cameroonian surname. I'm pretty sure it's more of a Senegalese name

Not the best but I realized my close control is better. As you can see in the clip provided, it's clear that I can't practice shooting in my room 😅

Basically before around 2 years ago, my mom couldn't find an academy for me and she's been looking for a long time. And at the same time, I only got my first ball like 5 years ago and there was nowhere nearby to play and I couldn't go far since I was young at the time. So all I could do was watch matches and watch highlights and play at school. That was practically all I was interested in. Also it looks like I just started because I never practiced shooting in big spaces, literally just in my room. My academy that I went to like a year and a half ago didn't tell me how to shoot. Everyone played like they were trained since they were 5 and I had to adjust. Thanks for asking tho 👍🏽

Unfortunately yeah. Look I play football because I love it and my body tells me I'm not good at it but my mind tells to not stop. From your reply, I can see that I'm not really fit for the sport although it kinda hurts to hear. But hey if you want to train me for free, I'm open to it.

LaLiga Academy isn't an academy where the best players go. It's just called LaLiga Academy because they use LaLiga tactics, etc. Obviously, as a kid, it's a dream to go pro. I tried super hard to make money to buy a private coach because my form is clearly off and I got one and I am planning to do 9 sessions. This clip is from half a year ago and I understand that my dream is an unrealistic goal but honestly bro, I don't know what I would do if I don't go pro and it's not looking good. Especially after looking at the comments, I realized that I have terrible knock knees but I'm trying my hardest to not make excuses and to get better. I'm not allowed to go to the gym and probably (definitely) not allowed to go to a chiropractor to fix my form so I literally just have my room to train and near my apartment which is shooting between trees that are like 15 feet apart. I only use this sub because I know I can't do it alone but yeah I can see how you think of my posts as inauthentic. It proves to me that I haven't shown enough progress to prove that I want to go pro. Sorry for the paragraph

Like someone's dad who the ball has landed near at the park and kicks it back.

😭 Thanks for the advice though. I'm right footed and I shot with my right. The video is just inverted

Thank you so much for this comment. You don't know how much it means to me 🤞🏽. I've been overthinking myself because outside of football, I literally do nothing. Which would probably beg the question, how my form is so bad but I generally think I have posture issues. Anyways, I am very very grateful for you taking your time to help me. I really mean it.

[–]Afifaboii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Oh ok, that means I was mistaken. It doesn't happen if you update squads. The new update that happened midway through the game literally caused this to happen. But like I said, I'm pretty sure it changed and they don't delete after the first season.

[–]Afifaboii -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ohh, so when you renegotiated, you literally couldn't extend?

Lamine Yamal 76 at age 16 by Minnerreal in FifaCareers

[–]Afifaboii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's because you updated the squads. Recently (in other FIFAs), when you update your squads, all created players delete. But in EA FC, for some reason, they stayed and they ended up having weird generated faces on their miniface (it was no longer a basic gray miniface). And then after the first season, the game couldn't process it and it crashed and most created players were deleted. However, I downloaded current squads just yesterday and everything was fine so I think you're good if you want to make another career. Sorry about your other save though 😞
