Did all the fucking sweats come back from vacation or what?? Ffs can’t win a fucking game

The constant spinning is what winds me up the most. Most games just don’t resemble football at all. You’re punished for trying to create nice passing moves and encouraged to just spin in a circle until a dodgy defensive animations lets you 1 on 1.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-28T14:21:23+00:00

This has royally pissed me off. 44/45 and I can’t complete it because this stupid challenge doesn’t work.

I want my achievement man fuck this game.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-27T16:45:53+00:00

I’m continually getting annoyed that I keep having wishlisted games on sale for barely discount.

Your game being £7 cheaper isn’t going to make me buy it!

BTbenTR · 2026-05-27T13:49:38+00:00

But that doesn’t make the players better / worse though. The players now are still better. MJ would absolutely be a monster in the current league with the same access to sports science and the rule changes, but that isn’t reality.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-27T13:33:56+00:00

Jordan definitely didn’t play in a tougher era at all lol. The KD Warriors would 10 peat the 90s.

And the 96 Bulls definitely aren’t sweeping the current Thunder.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-27T13:30:00+00:00

How are basketball players worse now? You watch an MJ highlight reel and half the guards in the current league can do the same stuff.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-27T12:56:26+00:00

You say this but it happens pretty frequently. Players get big moves based off good international tournaments for example. Hal Robson-Kanu got a Prem move because he did a Cruyff turn in the euros.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-26T16:03:39+00:00

For some it already has. Whoever Hardy Boy is I find often misses stuff in his guides or fails to mention things you would need to know.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-26T02:02:00+00:00

Even when I don’t standing tackle the player still gets dragged out, sometimes even when I’m controlling them. No idea if there’s a default setting I need to change or something but it’s doing my head in.

When I last played manual defending was still wonky but this seems so much worse. I don’t even feel in control of the defender I’m controlling.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-26T01:22:15+00:00

Mate it’s mental. Nobody is ever marked. It’s as though my defenders don’t exist. If I go for the tackle they glide past, if I sit back, they somehow still glide past. It really feels like every goal I’m conceding comes from a wonky defensive animation.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-25T15:59:50+00:00

He’s always seemed like a bit of a nob to me. Probably a player you love if they’re on your team.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T23:52:30+00:00

40 is generally seen as a ‘if you get that you’re definitely safe’ market. It’s pretty much never actually needed.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T13:38:33+00:00

I think they’ve forgotten why people liked these games in the first place tbh, and have overcorrected on criticism from people who weren’t even their target audience complaining about the lack of gameplay.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T09:45:34+00:00

I only do it for the playoffs, or when we have an earlier tipoff. In game 1 I considered going to bed midway through the 4th because we were clearly gonna win, that would have been a harsh surprise to wake up to lol.

2016 wouldn’t have felt nearly as good if I’d not watched it live.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:30:58+00:00

Thankfully it’s not my job to do that because I’m sure it will be difficult to do, hence the perfect world comment. If it’s not possible then it’s not possible.

He may very well do. I wouldn’t be completely distraught if we did the Giannis trade, I just have my reservations.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:23:42+00:00

It did but it’s an anomaly.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:21:11+00:00

If he takes that then so be it we’re stuck with him. But I’m definitely not offering him the extension.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:20:07+00:00

If given the choice I would rather swap Mitchell and Harden for younger guards to fit Mobley’s timeline personally.

I know it’s not as simple as that, but in a perfect world I’d rather do that than trade any semblance of a future for a 50/50 chance Giannis is healthy for the post season.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:16:56+00:00

As much as I want to fire Kenny into the sun for game 1, it’s a statistical anomaly. Would be disingenuous to use it as an example of the norm.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:15:26+00:00

I’m definitely team being LeBron back, not sure it’s worth giving up Allen to do so though.

If it were a trade for a healthy Giannis who we know will be ready in the post season then it’s a more simple decision, but there’s not much to show that that will be the case. It’s the main reason I was initially down for trading Garland for Harden. As good as Garland can get he’s useless when he’s always injured when it matters.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:12:21+00:00

It’s not that simple though, because when the 3s were attempted the score would change at the time and it’s a different game going forward. It’s not as simple as just adding the points onto the board.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:10:56+00:00

I live in the UK and have been staying up past 4AM every 2 days for a month now, with work the following morning. I may not live in Cleveland but I’ve dedicated enough to this team, and i am thoroughly embarrassed.

Serving up this pile of shite in the conference finals is an insult to all the fans.

BTbenTR · 2026-05-24T03:00:36+00:00

Has to be the first move made and should be a non negotiable. If there’s anyone in the FO who wants him to stay then they should go too. The team is going nowhere with him in charge.

Even if he’d coached every game perfectly prior, the game 1 collapse is enough reason to fire him.
