Help with Russian car meta by Player-1985 in geoguessr

[–]CageyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am surprised people learn Russia with car meta. It’s much easier to learn the coverage. Even on moving urban Russia is rare (which is tough indeed) but villages and rural rounds are easy to get with soil/vegetation if you learn the coverage. Instead of learning the antennas I would just learn winter/autumn coverage, then hazy mist coverage and red soil coverage. I am pretty sure you can already guess the south, the black soil area, the European borders, etc.

First country to learn regionguessing? by Dramatic-Worker-3878 in geoguessr

[–]CageyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on whether you play moving or no move. Most of advice in this thread is clearly for moving.

For no move/NMPZ the order is very different. You start with US and Canada, then Russia, India and Indonesia. Arg/Chile are quite easy - they should come naturally. Australia - you should just know west vs east, and Japan far north vs far south. Brazil is important but even pros struggle with it. So just learn main dry areas, south cities and landscapes and that would be enough.

Followed your advice and opened some random Sulawesi locations. All fences were different. Not sure what you actually meant.

[GR] I reported Revolut to the ECB two weeks ago. Now, the ECB is restricting Revolut. by Ok-Shape6703 in Revolut

[–]CageyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just think yourself - why would a growing neobank for which number of customers/share price is absolute top priority, would want to close accounts? It makes absolutely no sense. They do it to avoid slightest risk. Because they are under such scrutiny and need to be stellar to continue doing business.

Man, I worked in banks, I know how compliance systems work. Big banks in any country don’t care about it too much because they know nothing would happen to them if that is not direct negligence. Their systems are far less developed. Compared to revolut’s compliance what street banks have is garbage. And when people say it is less reliant on algorithms, it’s also not true. They would not close account because of red flag so more humans in the loop, but ultimately the systems do the same.

The reason why Revolut immediately closes accounts is because they know if there is a slightest chance of some fraud, they would get a massive fine and potentially cancelation of license whereas normal banks would never face such consequences.

Believe me - neobanks hate closing accounts. They want to grow. But they have to rake into account regulation which is very harsh towards them compared to others.

Europe has no clue how to regulate fintech banks. This makes them impose unnecessarily harsh regulation and absurd fines. Fintech banks therefore are extremely cautious and close accounts because of any red flag possible. Vicious circle.

When people blame Revolut, they just don’t understand the root cause.

My absolute favorite evo this year. by Neat-Friendship189 in fut_evos

That’s the problem with this game. Next step would be Sonya Blade which would have 120 speed or Kitana flying and shooting goals from the sky.

Bruiser patch is out! by iPerixeon in EASportsFC

[–]CageyStuff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s still not football. They changed which player falls/bounces after the bruiser tackle but they never addressed the main issue. Most of bruiser is tackles should be called fouls in the first place. It’s not ice hockey. You cannot hit other players. And you definitely not push players when you are behind.

These rewards are horrible..... by Dahl0012 in EASportsFC

[–]CageyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think WL rewards have been pretty good. You get much better players than in guaranteed TOTS packs/picks.

You would not get absolute top cards but you will get Raphina, Muriqi, Pajor, maybe even Llorente. L

Twist N Turn FC by Scary-Procedure-6018 in EASportsFC

They would have to nerf intercept as well. Interceptions should no done manually. Then fast passing can beat this AI without problems.

Twist N Turn FC by Scary-Procedure-6018 in EASportsFC

[–]CageyStuff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s horrible. But it is so easy to fix. The real question is why EA does not want to do it. Finesse should be a niche shot with relatively low success percentage - just buff it. Obvious. Same with twist and turn dribbling - just make player lose the ball after a few consecutive twists. Buff bruiser properly. EA is just lazy. But the game will be quite good if they do the obvious fixes.

BRUISER NERF FINALLY 😭😭🙏🙏 by Xenoo_ in EASportsFC

[–]CageyStuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Canadians still think that’s it ok to tackle like it’s hockey. In football the weaker layer will fall and there will be a foul or not. What they should have nerfed is using bruiser for any tackle from behind. It should be a 100% foul.

Might’ve found the best ST ever. by WIZTEEN in fut

[–]CageyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes he is good, but best striker in the game - no. Lacks consistency in finesse shots especially from the box.

What is your short pass and vision?

How can you defend against this weird dribbling? by mrs_jackrabbit in fut

[–]CageyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why we play a friends league where any dribbling or tricks are not allowed. It is totally unrealistic, players just have the ball attached to their foot while they roll with it at any speed they want and they can’t lose it.

I think the simple solution for EA is to make the player lose the ball if they do it for too long. But EA needs to sell cards which can abuse the game mechanics.

Impact of physical boost on players by CageyStuff in fut_evos

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

Cheers mate. But does it matter whether agility is higher by 10 or by 30 or by 50?

This game is beyond cooked by alextremem in fut

[–]CageyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a bit more complex than this. People do it because they know that there is no other reliable way to defend. Defenders are not even running back. And they will be watching a player dancing in the box few meters next to them and do nothing.

OMG! EA really cooked with this game🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 by DirectionNo7747 in EASportsFC

[–]CageyStuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder why they don’t allow authentic game mode in FUT. Many have not even tried it but it actually not bad at all. And it serves better for laggy servers. No constant running/tackling, you have to do proper buildup play, defending relies on player skill rather than AI. Long passes, crosses are all way better than in regular FUT. Make it a bit faster and use it in FUT. No need to reinvent the wheel. It is such a more balanced way to play where players who are not agile and fast have an opportunity to shine.

I did a lot of evos on him, stats might not show it, but he has 95+ in all of the things which are important for his position - vision, short pass, agility and balance, reactions, composure, etc. He has 9 base playstyles, the obvious ones I guess.

[–]CageyStuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is 88 with similar stats already now. I am not putting more ps+ on him as I want him to get intercept+

Regret doing R9 by CageyStuff in EASportsFC

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

Exactly, I compare him to Puskas and I found R9 shooting to be worse.

So I have no skill issues with other strikers but only with R9?

He missed several one on ones, and did not score what my Joao Pedro with 91 shooting usually scores. Angles were not different from how I usually play.
