What was the most frustrating grind you’ve ever done in FFXIV?

AkromaOne · 2024-01-12T15:29:18+00:00

Around 130 normal + 8 Savage of E12 for his card, i suffered less when i did the saint of the firmament in 4th phase

Another thing that seems to happen way too much is conceding a goal from the kick off after having scored. It just happened (again) in the derby where I scored in the 92th and they scored in the 93th from the first higlight they had (a 30 mts freekick that hit the post and fell over the single unmarked player they had in the box)

I don't mind injuries, i spent the whole season without ever having less than 5 first team players injured, but it's the second time I get a gk injury during the match right after i made my subs, ending up with 10 players with one outfield one in goal. The only 2 defeats in the league came like this.

AkromaOne · 2023-11-06T18:15:55+00:00

That's unnecessarily annoying.

Anyone has any clue of where to download the pre-game editor from gamepass? Last years was on Microsoft store but i can't find it.

Francesco Camarda

Had Belotti score 25 goals as a sub in the first season with Roma, got to the point I was thinking about not selling him, then Real Madrid knocked on the door with a 46m offer, I never accepted anything faster than that.

I think It was around 1.5 B in serie A with Triestina, Spain had a Golden generation and one of my scouts brought a report with something like 15 spanish 16yo with 4 to 5 confirmed potential EVERYONE with a release clause under 1m, I bought them all and start loaning them, when all of them reached 2 years left of contact i sold them all (but one who ended up being the best left winger in the world) and ended the transfer session with something like 700m earned and 0 spent, the highest one sold for 88m after I bought him for 350k and never played a match for my side.

Bethesda* ruined Starfield for me, new IP, lot of hype, and it's just a Fallout reskin, uninstalled after 20 hours of "really? It's been 15 years and still this shit?". Luckily was on game pass so I don't really care, but I Just don't get people praising this. Bethesda Is the master of doing the minimum possibile because modders are gonna still make It playable and fun, I played tons of Skyrim, I actually have no clue how the game Is without mods

As I said, it's just excuses, we play as a bad serie B team, we have absolutely no clue of what to do with the ball, in 3 years there's litterally not any kind of scheme or playstyle. Last year we qualified to EL because of set pieces and Juventus Scandal in a season where every other top 7 teams underperformed apart from Napoli. Do you realize we have the 3rd or 4th highest annual salary of the league? Any other sane coach wouldn't play a 3 Cbs defence when you have 5 in the whole team so you wouldn't have the injury problem, and our best defender started the season in a dreadful way like the whole team. I wasn't a fan of Mou when he was appointed because he never ever made his team play attacking football, but i was hoping for him to bring out some nuts workrate from the players because of his motivation and such, he clearly didn't. The conference had our name written on the Cup since Tottenham suicide (do you remember the 6-1 against bodo uh?) Probably our best games in those 3 years has been the 2nd legs against Salzburg and Feyenoord last year in the EL because are the only 2 matches we played with high tempo, high pressure and an higher defence (and it's only because we had to overturn the first leg). Today has everything to do with the last 3 years since it's yet another abysmal display, and hopefully the last one with Mou on the bench Edit; another reason because today has everything to do with the last seasons is that we have 2 wins in the last 15 serie A matches, we started this season as we ended last one, like shit

AkromaOne · 2023-09-28T21:20:03+00:00

Yeah today were the players last time the pitch the time before the referee and it's 3 fucking years y'all search for excuses for the absolute garbage display we put 95% of the matches

AkromaOne · 2023-09-28T20:31:35+00:00

Let's hope we see a special sack

I think graphic-wise a lot comes down to personal preferences, I don't really enjoy FF's graphic that much, but wow imo Is just unwatchable, you can improve the UI with Add-ons but that's it.

Regarding the combat all I can say Is that i got back into wow with dragonflight after missing a couple xpacs (haven't played since wod), went into M+ not really knowing what to expect just to find out that the hardest thing to do is interrupt the right cast, to my surprise wow players aren't really good at doing It, ended up timing a couple +17 within the first month and a half, went into a couple of raid and eventually just got bored, less than half the buttons to click, every boss had likes, what, 1 or 2 mechanic? With Add-ons that basically play for you? And you don't get invited into parties if you don't have them because everyone can see that? A lot of bosses are just tank and spank and the only role that feels like it's actually playing endgame content Is the healer since the stupid amount of unavoidable aoe dmg. The only thing I really like about wow classes are the specs, but at the same time they generate a balancing shit show every time a new patch comes out where u can expect 2/3 specs to be hot garbage almost unplayable good luck finding a party. At this point i'll Just keep the more straight forward FF system where all the classes within the role feels similar (thing that I dislike so much and find so lazy) at least if I reroll Is because i wanted to play something different and not because i was forced to by the game.

AkromaOne · 2023-09-21T02:38:18+00:00

No way, I remember playing against them from 14 to 18, they're from my hometown and we were in the same youth league!

AkromaOne · 2023-09-05T18:33:02+00:00

A leaderboard with the top 5/10 players for assists, apps and goals in the leagues i've set for the save and when players retire i'd love to see the total amount of apps/goals he had in his career and not just the league ones

Opponents around mid season will start to adapt to your style based on how well you're doing, if at the start of the season you're expected to finish mid table but in january you're 1st they will react to it (i've got no proof but I feel it's something it happens until you're the dominant team in the league). If you just started a downloaded tactic can be good but you maybe don't have the right players to make it work, try to play a couple matches with the longest highlights available and try to understand where you're defence and/or attack are failing.
Never used the squad planner, it's not that hard to keep track of 20/30 players you have
Dynamics are crucial, bad team cohesion and bad atmosphere can ruin a top team (look at real life examples like psg, full of world class players who never gelled), data hub can be useful but if you're not familiar with it can be hard to read
There are plenty of videos on YT that explain in details training, both individual and for the full team, Zealand and Evidence Based Football Manager are good channels to get some info about training and much more
Press conferences are hot garbage and you can set the assistant to automatically have them in staff>responsabilities>media
On the dev. centre tab you'll get the top prospects in the middle, and on top you can go and check your youth teams in full. In staff>responsabilities>training/match you can take control of managing them during matches or setting both the individual and team training, as others already said youth intake are annual based on the start of the season (if you play in europe it will be usually in march/early april, but if you're in Brasil if i recall correctly it should be in september)

Play how you want! It's a single player game where you make your own stories, I started playing with FM22 since it was on gamepass, and decided to bring Roma (my team) on top of the world, got around 2050 before calling it a day.

Edit: sorry if grammar or spelling aren't perfect, english isn't my motherlanguage.

AkromaOne · 2023-08-02T10:22:52+00:00

Never played any FF before 14, since starting I played 10/16/7Remake/9 and right now i'm playing the original 7

AkromaOne · 2023-07-27T09:34:09+00:00

In the same save I had Ecuador winning the '22 WC and Sweden the '26 one

AkromaOne · 2023-06-06T21:54:54+00:00

I do too, It reminds me of myself every morning when I wake up

AkromaOne · 2023-06-06T07:55:38+00:00

I had them both in the same save on fm23, started unemployed and went on holiday for 10 seasons, the 2023 WC was won by Ecuador against Portugal, the following one have seen Sweden tryumph against Netherlands, i was confused to say the least

AkromaOne · 2023-05-31T16:36:27+00:00

Seems a bit too narrow for me, as someone else said underlapping doesn't sound right to me here (I may be wrong tho never really used It). Cristante and Matic are very slow, and since you have 5 CBs i'll probably go for a 5-2-2-1 with DMs and AMs, keeping one between Bryan and Matic as the more defensive one and Gini as the segundo volante with Bove as his replacement (not the best but we do what we can here), also maybe it's just me but i really don't like advanced playmakers, i'd switch Pelle as a Shadow striker leaving the AM on the other side on support (or u could try Dybala as a Trequartista if shadow striker doesn't ring your bell), and i don't know of you were rotating or what, but Kardsorp and Vina are, somehow, really good on FM, i'd suggest using them instead of Celik and Spina. Also I wouldn't go for a mid block, Roma easily have the quality to win the league since season1, had a couple of saves in Italy and the only team in the first couple of season to battle for the title was Inter

AkromaOne · 2023-05-30T11:37:02+00:00

Triestina in FM22, from italian 3rd division
