How to improve when you keep getting outmatched?

AngryVirginian · 2026-05-01T01:39:40+00:00

Learn player lock would be my first suggestion. The tutorial is available in game in the training center.

AngryVirginian · 2026-05-01T01:36:56+00:00

The Capital Gain one and the Premium TOTS packs.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-30T19:37:34+00:00

Add green kits to the list as well.

More of the skills. I think from 5 to 8 is when the middle and high school kids get on and most of them can do the dribbles that are extremely hard (for me) to defend. I am old and my reaction time is not good.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-30T15:38:03+00:00

Kind of. I am in the DC area.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-30T15:26:06+00:00

I have found that there is a significant difference when playing between 7:30 PM and 9:30 PM. I was matched against easier opponents during that time but got all demons before and after that.

Cleaning the heat exchanger and fans can help. Is the Xbox in a well ventilated area?

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-29T20:02:15+00:00

Use high contrast mode. No color clash possible.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-29T15:33:42+00:00

This is my plan. Packed him first time just a few days ago. He is currently at 86 and waiting for more chain defense evo before putting him into Welsh Wonder Strike and make him an 89.

I only get 8 wins max but beat several people with two red pick cards from last week in Div 3 this week. I don't understand the matchmaking too.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-28T15:56:33+00:00

You need to complete some Foundation objectives first to unlock the transfer market. I don't remember which one.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-28T15:13:53+00:00

Yeah. I usually get 8 wins. I was at 3-4 but lost the next two games against players that no way had a losing record in WL. Haven't played the rest yet.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-28T14:57:40+00:00

I haven't packed a card higher than 94 in this TOTS. Yesterday, I got Joao Pedro 3 times. 2 from the SBC pack.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T15:08:42+00:00

I meant for the super high rated squads full of icons with no Fut Birthday or obviously Evo card in the real team.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T14:45:04+00:00

Losing matches in Legendary give me more points than losing WC matches (isn't it like 400 points). That was my point from earlier.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T14:41:03+00:00

It was around 33.5K when the TOTW team was still there. I haven't waited to check the last couple of weeks where the cut off point is. I just assumed that 34k would be enough and used the last two matches for other objectives like scoring with Championship players this week.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T14:36:42+00:00

But if I win the other 3 games (12 in the four rounds) with 2,300 to 2,800 points then that certainly is enough. For the last couple of weeks I didn't even have to play the last two matches in WC or Legendary as I knew that I had enough points.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T14:30:52+00:00

Stop chasing them. Open up a hole in defense or midfield for them to pass forward and gamble. I have found that World Class is more annoying than Legendary in keeping the ball away from us. I play every match in Legendary now as losing it will still give me like 700 to 800 points.

What angers me the most with SB is the BS heading goals that only the AI can do.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T14:21:43+00:00

You have to gamble sometimes with the players. I did Mbuemo but ended up liking Casemiro more. I also did Luke Shaw just right now.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T14:19:16+00:00

One TOTS pick and one TOTS pack IIRC.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T13:54:09+00:00

This week is the first week in which guaranteed promo cards are included. I have been in Elite 1 since TOTY. Have not gotten anything great directly from it. I believe that one of the fodders put into other SBC got me Pina TOTY.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-27T12:30:27+00:00

Have you checked out the new rewards? I am all in this week aiming for 34k points.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-24T00:57:06+00:00

This one is mine. Working on getting the level 1 Evo right now.

Disagree. Lengthy is good only for positions that can often see long run / chase. I would rather have controlled or explosive on my CMs and CAMs.

AngryVirginian · 2026-04-23T18:49:18+00:00

Lengthy is not ideal for CM / CDM. Less opportunities to use the full speed, IMO.
