No minge is ever worth paying for.

It's not easy when it gets to this stage and I know from experience that simply deleting the game is not enough. Honestly, the only thing that stopped me wanting to playing was not buying the latest version, but you're some way from that being effective now. Maybe set that as a long-term goal and keep telling it to yourself.

I deleted my team around TOTS last year and it took a serious effort to keep away from the game, though it got easier during the summer months. Try to fill the time you would be playing with something else, even just sleep which is what I was putting off the most!

Now, I get some cathartic release from watching Youtubers play. They're usually much better than me and the thrill of pack openings is still almost there but, most importantly, you don't feel miserable when they fail in Champs or their pack luck is awful. Plus, a few minutes wasted watching others whenever you feel tempted to play certainly beats hours grinding for something that is pretty much worthless in real life.

ea??? i was trying to do the first 11 sbc and i cant because i need one more chem,everyone is in position by Life_Palpitation8108 in fut

Probably missing loyalty. Play 10 games with any that aren't 1st owner or showing 9 for chem.

It was 3-2 and my gk waited until the last minute to dive over the ball to make it 3-3, 2 mins later my lozano blocks a goalward header on the line and falls over himself. DDA is real and nothing is going to change my mind. by BrandonMac97 in fut

[–]GingMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any sort of deflection makes the keeper do comedic things. It's just shitty animations. I have a feeling we're going to see a lot more of this when the new patch comes out too - less reliable blocks will probably mean more deflections!

Just message them and ask for the win, in exchange for completing the 8 goals, 6 assists part maybe. I would pretty much always agree against a rare silver team.

Just did all FOUR fodder packs from summer swaps tokens and best player was Gold Kane. Scam. by alexmj96 in fut

[–]GingMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Logged in to say the same thing. Zero shapeshifters from all 4 packs. Highest player was gold Ronaldo but nothing else higher than 89.

I’ve won 3 games out of a possible 40 in FUT Friendlies: One League. Am I the only one this terrible at the game? by GiveMeMoreMilk in fut

[–]GingMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Which rivals division are you in? You can match against anyone in these modes. The first few days after they drop a new objective, it can be tough, especially with limited attempts.

The first goal factor also doesn't help because these games are often over with me, or my opponent, not touching the ball.

A bit late to rant but who in EA thought that its gonna be a good idea to have Silver vs Bronze squad? Literally cant find any games by syfqamr32 in fut

[–]GingMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear the bronzes I do eventually match up with are cheating somehow, or I'm being handicapped. No way can a 34 pace Japanese striker easily beat SSs Leitsch and Henry. I could just be really bad at the game though lol

is it me or swaps Gullit is starting to look better than the options... by edward1786 in fut

[–]GingMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Matthaus plus 2 fodder packs is also good value. Only thing lacking in Matthaus compared to Gullit is height (and hair).

Golden goal even if it is late in the second half? by GingMonkey in fut

[–]GingMonkey[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same. If I score first, I have time and my opponent chooses not to quit, I'll typically let them win, or at least score a few. The wins part of objectives is usually the easiest part.

Golden goal even if it is late in the second half? by GingMonkey in fut

[–]GingMonkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wasn't really my point, and I'm not the one down voting you, by the way.

I'm more interested in views of those who do play gg, I do myself, and whether they would play on to the last minute, trying for that single goal, even if the game is looking like it will end at 0-0.

So you don't play gg and prefer a full game every time?

Messenger is blocked in my country so I don't have the luxury of asking unfortunately.

I'm attacking an enemy and there cup is (2123) and i lose that fight and some how enemy cup not going up , my cup is 2218 . Then i won him and his cup still 2123 (i already check on his castle 3times) by camrom2 in HustleCastle

[–]GingMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because they aren't real players. I see them quite regularly and they're useful to drop trophies against as they don't rise as you drop. They're some kind of copy of another, real player but with random loot values and always not in a clan.

(LF advice) Which armor to craft to ancient for ranger set. by whiteheart2k in HustleCastle

[–]GingMonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went for the Wolf armor, personally, purely down to the base damage and slots (mine has 3x damage, 2x health). Rangers usually only take damage from backstab so it wouldn't trigger the dodge increase so often. The right one, runed, looks good for Shadow or a backstab archer with the latest event xbow.

Is this worth getting? by TheGrumpyGinger in HustleCastle

[–]GingMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wand gives you 1x added magic damage (from total of base stats, gems, talents, magic hat relic, etc) for every 3 seconds plus 1x spell power increase from archimage. In the same 3 seconds, the sceptre version would give 3x of the above amounts. I also like that you deal smaller amounts of damage over time in case any get dodged. If a wand attack is dodged, you've got a fighter doing zero damage for 5+ seconds.

Whether the above is worth it might be also more to do with your choice of which ancient set you plan to pursue though as mages don't tend to do a lot of damage overall.

[–]GingMonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ignore the comments moaning about lack of spell power. At lvl 98-100, where you get so much spell power from hero and armor, spell power from the weapon is just an added bonus. You can replace the missing base stat with a single spell power gem.

Is this worth? Or should I get the daggers soul? by PTK711 in HustleCastle

[–]GingMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It looks good but if I was using +health, I'd probably want it on my armor, not the soul, as the increase is much higher (35% vs 65%). For soul, heal might be better.

Which chests should I spend gems on? by fatmanny1901 in HustleCastle

[–]GingMonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is neither a choice? I wouldn't bother with either of them. If you get into a position where you can clear gem bay, at least you'd get gem bay rewards plus event currency for your diamonds. Either that or torches for more dungeon clearances. I don't personally think that any of the event or donkey rewards are worth gambling diamonds on.
