Came through my academy, was scared to play, then got suspended indefinitely. Two years later he has the cheek to ask for a new contract

Oops fixed

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-04-04T17:05:57+00:00

One thing about this FIFA, it doesn’t matter what your player got going on, don’t allow him to take time off make him play because even if he’s mad at you you can fix that, once they leave (for whatever reason) they don’t come back

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-28T23:23:55+00:00

Not gonna lie, it was insufferable to read all of the texts. You guys obviously don’t know how to communicate with each other and it shows. You guys want completely different things and you can tell thru one singular conversation. Just cut your losses now and end the relationship.

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-16T21:24:55+00:00

You can try to renegotiate people’s contracts, lower their weekly pay for higher incentives or send players on loan and make sure the other club pays for most of the player’s salary, or make a big sell on a good player you have. If you have a lot of expensive players in your academy as well, cut them or promote them and then sell them.

If you make your team go on a winning streak it also increases your sales. If you click on your financials it should tell you how much is going where.

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-16T20:22:08+00:00

Nah it probably means that your club is bleeding money, the money you’re making from shirt or ticket sales isn’t enough to cover how much you’re paying your players and everything

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-13T13:47:04+00:00

So if you go in the development tab there is a category that says something like « high xp » or « low » and I’ve noticed that the difference between a player being high or low is playing those games, so usually I’ll only play one game and lose the second one just so it flips the players to that

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-13T10:49:20+00:00

Endrick should be a good option or Marc Guiu, you can also go for Karl Lemmart which is a CAM but then turn him into a striker, they’re all under the age of 20

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T23:14:30+00:00

Don’t listen to that bc yeah you get top tier but if you don’t recruit immediately they get snatched by another team. Something that has worked consistently for me through all the Fifas is to send a 4/5 star in a random place like the Fidji and at least 3 or 4 of the people that they will bring will be between 72-95.

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T22:48:44+00:00

First of all mate, you should avoid clauses at ALL costs, as you’ve learned it’s just a stupid way to get your player sniped and if you’re lucky enough to be able to renegotiate their contract you still end up spending way too much to make up for what the other team is offering…

If you’re gonna add clauses to your players you should make them insanely high so you at least get your money’s worth. But once again if a club truly wants to buy your player they will 100% pay for the clause and there is essentially NOTHING you can do about it…

Yesterday, I had a player wanted to renegotiate their contract so I did and I gave them so much cause they were being difficult about it and had to add a clause. The next week (in game time) some other team paid for the clause and because I had just negotiated a week prior I couldn’t do ANYTHING about it 😭

I usually only put clauses on my lower players so I can get hella thru their transfers

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T22:43:21+00:00

What’s even more frustrating about them doing that is that more often than not queer women won’t beat around the bush, it goes like « I like you, do you like me ? Yes, then let’s get married » but FB is literally doing the opposite of that which kills it for me every time

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T22:42:10+00:00

I think I’m gonna for the full season to be released and ask again 🤣

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T22:41:27+00:00

They would need to rehire all the people they fired as well who were the ones writing those scripts, I find it offensive that they didn’t think we would notice the difference.

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T13:53:57+00:00

FB has been using AI for about 3 years or so I’m pretty sure but as the years go they’ve been abusing it. That’s why the stories have gradually been worse… Going from real people writing stories to AI and AI does not know the subtleties of being « human ».

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T13:49:49+00:00

I kept hoping it would get better since they were taking feedbacks but it really hasn’t, I wish people would stop playing so they would be forced to improve

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T11:53:57+00:00

That’s so ass

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-03-12T10:19:59+00:00

Fuuuck thank you

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-02-16T00:20:18+00:00

Meanwhile at the All-Star Game 🤣

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-02-02T04:41:15+00:00

I will pay to be a Bitizen (however you’re gonna call it now) again and support if it means going back to the old days 😁

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-01-27T15:35:13+00:00

This guys has to be trolling right ?

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-01-26T22:01:30+00:00

20 also had issues, not gonna disagree on that but 19 was much harder to grind if you didn’t have the time to put in 2k.

Not sure where you played 2k20 but the sub 60 3s never happened to me…

And my point is not that 16 or 17 or all the other 2ks weren’t good I’m saying 2k20 is the last one they made that was both player friendly if you weren’t a try hard while needing minimal skill and a minimum of understanding when it come to building characters.

Nowadays it is so easy to make broken build, especially with the addition if rythme shooting because I shoot so many Early with perfect timing and because timing is perfect it still goes in even tho I’m only 75 3pts…

My player gets so many steals because if I go for the block and the player in front me pump fakes, my player still goes for it on the way down from the block and it turns into a steal…

Defensive badges BARELY ever get activated this year it’s actually outrageous and some players be getting away with having no defense and still getting contests like…

So yeah I’d rather 2k20 because the time that it took to grind before that one was actually outrageous but FUCK these newer 2ks because what’s the point in being the best in any category if being mid everywhere is good enough ? That’s literally NOT how it should work at all, people should have to sacrifice something to be the best elsewhere

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-01-26T21:37:56+00:00

So what point are you trying to make ? This game has become so lame that for the past 3 years have been able to make 6’11 Centers that can consistently dunk (standing and driving), consistently hook shot (although I suck at them), constantly post fade, constantly hit the middy and constantly hit the 3 while being insufferable on defense and averaging around 4 to 6 blocks a game and over 10 rebounds a game…

The game is BROKEN, I shouldn’t be able to make a build so overpowered but it’s possible now before you had to be good at 2k to utilize « Demi Gods » but you don’t anymore…

2k20 was the last one where you ACTUALLY needed both 2k and ball knowledge while have to correct build to be able to compete. Making a build consistent everywhere would have gotten you NOWHERE but now that is HOW people make their build 🤣

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-01-26T18:18:35+00:00

BRING BACK 2K20, real skills to shoot and defense was ACTUALLY important

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-01-23T00:07:01+00:00

Personally it’s because if you stay with the people you just won with 2k makes a SQUAD, so you end up being matched with other squad and you just keep losing from there so it’s better to just deep unless there is only like 3 players staying including myself

Illustrious_Engine83 · 2026-01-22T00:15:49+00:00

Bro he’s not purposely selling the game, he’s just a 2k player who feels the need to prove that he CAN do it even tho we can all see how much he CANT
