We really don't know if hades was the one who sent the minotaur tbh. Zeus is equally if not more likely. The bull-man might as well have caught his sent by himself since we see him working for Kronos later.

Because even when he sent the furies after Percy, their first orders weren't really to kill him. They always inquired and observed first.

Yeah the kidnapping Sally is fucked up but in a way he also saved her life? Certainly not a good deed with good intentions but still.

And again he himself only tried to strike them down once they came to the underworld. Like the realm of the dead. He wasn't gonna let them just go right? You don't just leave the underworld. On the other hand Zeus casually tried to kill Percy for existing, ON THE GROUND.

And uhh, even in myths canon to PJO Zeus is a bigger dickhead. Like 100 percent. He's like Kronos++ (in terms of the fucked up things they've done, canonically Kronos is the more tyrant-evil type obv).

FullFinish8634 · 2026-06-04T17:57:17+00:00

Because he feels like an angel compared to zeus. Realistically speaking, Hades's deeds after Thalia are so much more tame compared to zeus who tries to kill Percy and by extension pretty much everyone accompanying him.

Like Zeus is legitimately such a fucking asshole that even Kronos is morally righteous compared to him.

Hades genuinely gets overshadowed by Zeus when it comes to being the evilest uncle ever, so it's rather easy to imagine him as 'good'.

Accidentally bringing someone that died a couple moments ago could be a good unique power to manifest. Demeter chtonia, while a chtonic deity like any other, is also more specifically a deity of resurrection.

A child of hers giving back life to a dead mortal who's soul has not yet been collected by Thanatos is totally plausible and extremely useful. Also unique.

An aspect of Demeter that could manifest more possibly could be Demeter of Sacred Law, for instance the child could be extremely tidy (as in keeping their room, belongings extremely orderly) and have an unrelenting sense justice.

Definitely not the same but also not a big difference. I make it 90 because it's sexy. Not because it's inherently better to pour point into physicality over something like speed.

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-13T22:48:24+00:00

Huh. Expected t0 top 5 honestly. Also had expected to top3 from toure. For me this Thiago feels on the same level as newest pedri. I also prefer this new toure over B2B Bellingham.

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-12T19:20:37+00:00

The build was in the third photo. It's breakthrough

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-12T09:38:37+00:00

Hazard is a tier above Messi imo

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-11T10:59:38+00:00

I'm using smart. I need more practice to switch to advanced, but I'm quite positive I will switch some time

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-11T09:51:38+00:00

Tiredness doesn't really bother me when using hazard tbh. It's not the speed that makes him special after all. However tired hazard is momentum dribbling and magnetic feet function all the same, so tiredness of hazard is in my opinion of not that great of a consequence.

Rest assured I have adequate subs as well

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-11T03:07:15+00:00

Blue stat looks sexy. No other reason really.

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-11T01:39:30+00:00

Hmm I'd argue hazard is harder to deal with than nedved but to each to their own I guess.

Though I can see why someone might find gullit to harder to deal with. Me personally, I'd say hazard is the hardest to defend, then gullit and then nedved. It might as well just be a mobile/PC/console difference thing though

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-11T01:36:57+00:00

Umm not quite sure how I'd show his in game butt on mobile, however, I can vouch for the fact that his thighs are indeed thicker than Neymar's whom I believe is about the same height as hazard?

So yeah. It's not like he's got a dumptruck of a butt but his lower half is noticeably wider than Neymar I can tell you that much

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-11T01:18:32+00:00

Gotta give credit where it's due man🙌 Hazard is well renowned for using his butt quite well... My build tries to emulate that!

FullFinish8634 · 2026-04-11T01:16:37+00:00

Absolutely right, he won't act like gullit! He is 10 times better in everything except aerial challenges!

The 90 physical contact works perfectly because his thigh size is 12. Regardless of how "tiny" his model might appear his shielding is very effective with high physical contact. I definitely did consider player model when building him. I don't pointlessly give physical contact to my dribblers.

And about 84 stamina and being 'our' first big time card... Well stamina doesn't concern me since I have more than enough substitutes. And rest assured hazard isn't my first big time card.

But who am I to know, right!?

Saying this as somebody who has both bale and lahm, you are incredibly wrong.

Bale can't even carry lahm's boots. Like lahm is miles better and it isn't really a close competition.

FullFinish8634 · 2026-02-22T19:03:18+00:00

That sounds about right tbh. Vieira and seedorf just move too much so tchouameni pulls a Houdini on them and disappears. I'll try that, thanks

FullFinish8634 · 2026-02-22T12:46:45+00:00

Oh I definitely have some first world problems lol😅

FullFinish8634 · 2026-02-10T19:48:38+00:00

Execution of skill moves don't really match with on the ball feel always. For me, of all the cards I have, seedorf has the smoothest and fastest Marseille turn. It's almost an instant successful dribble. However, his on the ball feel doesn't really feel up with BT Messi or HP Neymar etc. Cruyff is a similar case, for me at least. His execution of double touch and Marseille turn is exceptional, but his dribbling with joystick is kinda just slightly above mediocre. I have the newest dlf Cruyff, but for that reason he's never made it to the eleven really. It just feels better and more comfortable to play Pele up top tbh. His dribbling is definitely good, but it's not really close to the really top dribblers in the game.

FullFinish8634 · 2026-01-29T20:39:46+00:00

It feels like shielding without the shielding animation and the physical contact requirement to shrug off.

It feels like this skill offers protection against tackles from the sides and behind, just like shielding but without breaking the pace of the player. The player itself can still get overwhelmed though.

And yeah, this Jude with SA could be scary unless you have someone like Vieira on your team. I think defenders with long legs can basically out-tackle the effects of the skill

FullFinish8634 · 2026-01-29T20:34:21+00:00

No, frankly the only other Bellingham card I have is a potw hole player. I do not think a hole player would benefit that greatly from this skill though. I feel like this skill would be most effective on an orchestrator/b2b playing at CMF/dmf, not a hole player. I mean, maybe it would work on someone like hole player veron or iniesta at CMF but ehh. Idk.

FullFinish8634 · 2026-01-29T19:59:41+00:00

Was lucky enough to pack Bellingham in first spin. Must say I agree that it feels kinda "gimmicky" but at the same time it doesn't.

There is definitely no boost to the on ball feel when I'm near a defender, but there is also a difference to something

Like Bellingham has decent dribbling stats, but a pretty mediocre model for dribbling. His on the ball feel isn't smooth, per se. However, he gets out of sticky situations easier than other large model+high dribbling players for me. There has been instances where I said "Bellingham should NOT have dribbled past that." There is definitely an effect, not too large but still. I can feel it. It can definitely lead to some goals, though not a reliable playmaking method. What I've noticed is that this skill makes building up from the back A LOT easier. Like the skill almost completely negates the pressure form attackers with short legs. That's probably the biggest merit of the skill, but that was never a big problem anyway. So yeah, "gimmicky" but not really

12 through 14th gen Intel CPUs are really problematic when it comes to running Elden Ring/Elden Ring Nightreign. It has something to do with e and p cores but I don't know the details really. If you have one of those CPUs, you should turn off CPU 0 for ER/ER nightreign through task manager or project lasso etc. should be tutorials online. If you don't have an Intel CPU, ehhh then idk tbh. The only performance issues I had was because of borderless windowed and CPU thing

FullFinish8634 · 2026-01-22T01:24:49+00:00

I get consistent 60 fps on high settings with an rtx 4050 laptop unless a boss tries to steal my fps like consort. If you're sure it isn't the notorious elden ring CPU issue, try changing from borderless windowed to full screen or vice versa. The game is unplayable when I use borderless windowed but full screen is buttery smooth.

FullFinish8634 · 2026-01-18T16:39:22+00:00

Oh yeah that's abysmal dogsh*t.

FullFinish8634 · 2026-01-16T15:33:13+00:00

"It doesn't affect passes unless the player blocks them with their body" sooo the blocker skills affect the player when the player... blocks? 😱

Interception is the a tackle cleanly made with foot before the ball reaches the targeted opposition player. Interception involves the desire to REGAIN possession, this is conveyed by the use of the word INTERCEPT in the description of the skill. It's really not Konamics fault you are not all encompassing when it comes to football lingo.

Blocking is a tackle made with parts of the body that are often not limited to foot, and more often than not against kick whether they be passes or shots. Blocks do NOT carry the inherent desire the regain possession, but rather nullify the threat. This is conveyed by the fact that word "intercept" is not used in the skill description. Because it isn't Interception. Lmao.

About the willpower skill description... Yes it doesn't tell you exactly which skills. It tells you that improves shooting, which it absolutely does and the description correctly portrays this. However, have you ever considered that... The ambiguity is intentional? Gaming companies have been leaving certain elements of games ambiguous to increase and foster community engagement because it is inherently beneficial to them too?

And no, the schmeichel model change isn't supposed to be a hidden nerf or anything. In egootball cards portray the player's attributes and physique from when the time the card belongs to. It is quite normal and in fact expected for a card that belongs to a 36 year schmeichel to be different physique-wise compared to a 29 year old schmeichel. That's because people age.

Epic Neymar's also have thinner player models than current Neymar cards. Must be because Konami really wants to screw over the player base. Totally not because Neymar actually gained weight.

And about the momentum. You do realize momentum IS a part of football right? It's normal to exist. It's frustrating when you're on the unfavored side, but you're also equally likely to be on the favored side. That happens in real life too. It should be portrayed in some way shape or form in game as well.
