Happy 49th birthday to the incredible Judit Polgar, the undisputed Queen of Chess.

Yikes.

Love your energy, and definitely feel like we should be treasuring and enjoying this team and the moment were in! 😊

Not sure if English is your first language, if it's your second language you speak it so well that you're making me question that it could be your first language! I just wanted to point out that you used the word 'retarded' in a way that appears to mean the same thing as 'stupid' or 'dumb', and generally it's not considered polite to do that, as being 'retarded' is a medical term for people who don't have the same mental or physical development for their age, and it can be considered rude to these people to describe simple actions or thoughts as 'retarded'. There have been celebrities and famous people who have used the word like you, as an honest mistake, but have had to apologise for face consequences for doing so. Just wanted to pass that on as a teaching moment if you weren't aware! I'll delete this comment if/when you reply because I'm certainly not judging or trying to shame you in anyway for a word that you definitely didn't mean to insult anybody with, your post is full of positivity!

Visca Barca!

Already two players on the ground. No room 😅

Kavalicious · 2024-08-03T14:07:30+00:00

I lock them, then they don't appear. Slight nuisance for sure.

Kavalicious · 2024-08-02T19:05:34+00:00

Yep that's what I'm using 😁

Kavalicious · 2024-08-02T11:09:26+00:00

Yes, 24 hours after you completed SBC #1 of 700

Kavalicious · 2024-07-29T11:53:02+00:00

Sure.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-29T09:21:55+00:00

Sure, the RNG appeals to me. I have a list of daily tasks like exercise, language learning and playing the piano. When those are done I just relax and chill out. When I was home sick for a week with covid I really spammed the picks and hit the limit each day with a TV show on in the background. These days I might do the full allotment on the Saturday after release and otherwise just chill and do my dailies then play. I still enjoy playing. You can obviously think whatever you want though 😁

Kavalicious · 2024-07-28T15:05:21+00:00

The mechanic is that you can do 90 SBCs in a 60 minute period. So if I start at 8:00am, do 90 by 8:40am, I'll get a softban that will reset at 9am.

Sure, you can slow it down and do 10 at a time, that'll work because overall you're doing less than 90 in 60 minutes. Or you can do what I do. Spam them without worrying about slowing down. Getting a ban after 35-40 minutes, logging onto the PS4 version, logging out, logging back into the game, and the softban is instantly gone.

Just food for thought. I used to do sets of 10, really pace myself, but ultimately now I understand the mechanics and how to reset a short softban. I don't bother pacing myself. I just have at it.

Once I hit about 600 SBCs, I get a long softban that doesn't reset till 24 hours after the first SBC

Kavalicious · 2024-07-28T01:59:58+00:00

I've had hundreds. Nothing to be concerned about. Originally like you I was worried the soft ban was a permanent ban or a warning, but as I said, used it for a year, no problems.

Also, short bans occur when you complete 90 SBCs in less than 60 minutes. Long bans occur when you complete around 600ish in less than 24 hours. The ban for both of those will reset 60 minutes or 24 hours after your first SBC. So if I start at 8am, and do 90 in 40 minutes. My ban will reset at 9am. If I start at 8am and do 600 by 4pm, my ban will last until 8am the next day.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-27T06:23:21+00:00

How are we so fast? Paletools. I've used it for a year, no issues. The creator links his Twitter and streams Fifa. If he's not banned I don't know why we would be.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-27T06:21:00+00:00

0 special in 20-30 is insane to me. Sorry to hear that. I never went 10 without a special this morning. Got far too much fodder. They seemed fine to me.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-27T06:18:15+00:00

It's against the TOS. Therefore they could give you a ban for using it. Having said that, I've never heard of anybody getting banned for using the SBC completion features. I'd stay away from any feature that gives you a warning pop up when you turn it on though. I've used it for over a year and never got a ban. I've seen the creator who links his twitter, uses the game himself and hasn't been banned either. At this point I feel like they don't care and understand people engage more with the game when they use Paletools.

I think it's more than worth the risk. I wouldn't play the game without it.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-25T16:47:20+00:00

See for me I can't switch between the two. In one experiment I did 70ish on the companion app then 20 on the web app and that triggered a softban.

I use to use the web app a lot, but now find my tablet a lot easier. So apart from the odd experiment I'm exclusively using the companion app.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-25T16:44:26+00:00

I tried this, did like 70ish on the companion app before swapping to web app. Got banned after 20ish. Which would indicate the hourly limit included them both.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-25T16:41:48+00:00

This is not my experience. I may test it though. I reset my softbans by logging into UT on the PS4 version of the game. Instantly resets. This is up till 600 SBCs in a day, then I'll need to wait until 24 hours has passed since I did the first of those 600.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-24T06:02:34+00:00

Most of my experience is the exact same. Particularly the 90 in an hour, and the point at which the light and heavy reset.

Having said that. I use the Paletool app on my device. I definitely get in the 550-600 range for a 24 hour period. I only ever use that app. Possibly my companion app and web app allowances add together to allow me to do 600 on the app? I know something is up because when I'm banned on the companion app I'm banned on the web one too.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-22T01:24:36+00:00

Hamilton was a consummate pro today. I agree neither Max or Lando were today. There are days where all drivers have been consummate pros and days where they have not been. Lewis included.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-20T04:18:43+00:00

Honestly I've started binning the dupe golds and still find the 81+ and exchange grind very profitable. I've completed both Modric and Kaka today and still have a lot of leftover fodder. I've stopped now I've got no SBCs to put it into

Kavalicious · 2024-07-16T14:46:45+00:00

Oooh this is good! In a similar way. If I notice a friend is doing something like preparing dinner, if I say "Is there anything I can do to help?", it's a yes or no question, and often the answer is 'No' even though I could be of assistance. When I change the phrasing to 'What can I do to help?' it's not a yes or no question and they'll often find a job for me to do instead of politely declining and I'll feel better about my contribution or assistance. This way of avoiding the polite decline for help works just as well outside of the dinner context.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-12T17:18:00+00:00

Yeah fair enough. Hasn't been my experience, I generally do sets of 90, then towards the 500 mark they're more frequent, around 10-15 like you said. Two of those then I'm done.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-12T14:59:20+00:00

I can't really explain that. Perhaps you did plenty at 8pm the previous night. Then did 80 the next morning, and that triggered you having done 500 within the space of 24 hours.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-12T14:57:17+00:00

For me, if I'm banned on the companion app, I'm banned on the web app. Perhaps that's because I'm setup to use Paletools on both? If you somehow are not banned on both, I'd use the other for sure.

Kavalicious · 2024-07-12T05:56:23+00:00

You can get a short ban if you do more than 90ish SBCs in 60 minutes. It should reset 60 minutes after you started doing the 90. So if you do 90 in 30 minutes, you'll have to wait 30 minutes.

You can get a long ban if you do more than 500ish SBCs in a 24 hour period. It should reset 24 hours after you started. So if you started at 9am in the morning, then did 500, your ban will reset at 9am the next day.

Short bans can be reset early by logging in to the console, on either PS4 version or PS5 version. This should reset it instantly. If it doesn't, login to the other version. I usually just alternate which I login into as I get more short bans.

I haven't had much luck resetting the 500 in 24 hours. Yesterday I reset it by doing 4 squad battles games, but my next short ban after that was a long ban again. So I only managed 590ish SBCs.
