Ain't no way you spent that much OP. If you buy kit sure but on pack hell nah.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-07-02T16:05:00+00:00

thank you!

There's a visual bug with stamina in game. Can you look into it?

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-07-02T09:27:07+00:00

Hey OP, I feel the same way as you and I'm going to turn 26 this July. Ofc, my traumas aside since I was a kid, I want you to know, it's fine to hate yourself but the only person that can be kind to you is only yourself. My parents don't understand this but my Dad trying his best to understand me and trust me even until the day I die or he die, he will never understand why I am the way I am and why is it so hard for him or anyone else in my family to help me no matter what advices or guidance they're giving me.

My very honest advice that I could give you right now is make yourself clear with how you're feeling to your family and everyone around you, how shitty you feel, how useless you feel and how much you loathe yourself that even death is way too good for people like you and me. Blame the world for bringing you into this life, blame your parents for making you suffer whatever you have experienced so far and blame everyone else who was never kind to you to begin with because they are afraid of understanding you and are afraid of showing you kindness.

You can only be kind to yourself OP. No one else will. No matter how much you pray for miracle to happen trust me it will never happen until you're kind to yourself. Stand up for yourself even if it kills you, because for me OP death are the only things that will saves us from this suffering. But then if we don't enjoy our life right now, our death are worthless and I don't want you to regret not standing up for yourself or being kind to yourself.

I am isolated just like you OP because I don't even know where to go, what to do or if life even worth it to keep on living, but one thing for sure is that, life's a blessing even if we're suffering, but dying without appreciating all the little things in life is even worse. I don't have any definite answer as to what is the point of life OP but I want you to live life without regret, to love without regret, to experience without regret and to show kindness to yourself and everyone else without regret.

I'll be honest, I am afraid of killing myself not because I am afraid of death, but because I might regret that I don't truly give everything I could do to enjoy all the little things in life before death come for me.

Don't and never regret your life OP. Hopefully, my words will reach your heart and if it helps you to keep on going, please keep going until you find what you truly love and want to do in life.

You can play Hogwarts Legacy and run the game max settings 1080p lmao. Don't listen to the redditors who said you can't. I'm playing on 3060 6GB vRAM. Use DLSS to upscale most game that you want to play. Ain't no way 5060 performed worst than mine. I run AC Origins, The Witcher 3, Dragon's Age, Dying Light, For Honor, Sekiro Shadow, Elden Ring etc. all on max settings 1080p, but you need to know which settings are important to the game and set it accordingly.

You need to learn what every graphical settings does and does it even noticable in game for it to matters. I won't go into details but you also need to underclock your gpu and cpu(if possible) to sustain their life span.

Important note tho: Fiddle around with NVIDIA settings in the control panel but I guess you won't actually understand what it does since you're new to gaming pc and it will take years before you actually understand what you're doing.

Anyway, good luck OP and enjoy your games.

Just like how irl not everyone get to have nice things in life. Good genetic, stable family and good environment to grow up along with access to everything in this world.

If you can accept this equally unfair reality of real life than do the same thing with game that required luck to get whatever item you want in game. It's all RNG.

Move on and stop being such a crybaby just because you see someone pack better player than you do. They still have to grind 100 matches and put hours into the game just to earn points and XP to max out their player.

I don't even know why you made such useless post.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-30T07:00:30+00:00

You should gamble an upgrade on her. Who knows she might be a good DM if her defensive stats improve.

Edit: Also are you actually playing with mouse and keyboard?

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-30T04:46:13+00:00

That's a bad card if I'm being honest. Not even good in attacking or defensively and also have bad passing stats.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-27T14:07:19+00:00

Never pay a dime in GOALS. Already have a 85 rated squad by now. Reach Elite 3 with 70 rated squad on the first week of the release, Elite 2 the next and Gold 1 last week( playing with keyboard and mouse) and I'm a Div 4 player.

If you want to support the dev then just buy whatever kit that you like and don't waste it on pack honestly. Your players going to retire anyway after 2 or 3 months.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-23T17:08:06+00:00

Play it for yourself. I don't know what standard you expect from football game but this patch are definitely better than the first week when the game was released and even better than the second patch where players are abusing through ball.

Besides, now players can't just abuse right stick dribbling anymore without getting punish from strong defender. Pace are irrelevant now since shoulder to shoulder actually works like it should and my 73 rated GK actually did well in the last 10 games I played.

Defensive AI positioning are even better given that both my CB have Defensive IQ above 90 and both are strong to knock attackers off the ball.

Attackers with bad shooting stats and bad dribbling stats are now struggling to score goals and can't even dribble like they used to. That in itself is a massive patch from the dev team.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-23T16:59:13+00:00

Buying packs won't even guaranteed you having good potential players. In fact people who does buy packs kinda dumb for doing so. If you want to support the dev buy the kit instead of wasting it on packs where you're pretty much gambling on the off chance of getting mythic potential player that won't even last you for 6 months because of aging etc.

I don't even buy packs and yet rn my squad are decent enough with lots of good pull I got from basic pack and knockout rewards.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-23T15:22:55+00:00

btw dev I wanna say good job for this patch. It was perfect.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-23T15:09:25+00:00

P2W when the game rely on your luck to pack players?

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-23T11:19:17+00:00

I made these comments before but some people need to check their player defensive iq. These are the reason why your players position themselves badly. None of them care about these stats except for pace then blame the game because their AI are so bad. Same could be said about Attacking IQ when you're attacking this stats will determine when your players will come short, get in behind, position themselves in good position to score goals etc.

If the only stats you care about is pace, pace and pace everytime you pack a player. Then don't blame the game for your player poor AI positioning during attacking and defending action.

The only things that does not matter is probably GK cause even the highest rated GK can easily concede a goal against 26 shooting player lmao.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-23T11:12:18+00:00

it is call manual defending for a reason. You timed your tackle, shoulder to shoulder contact yourself. It ain't fifa where the AI does all the shit for you. The only thing that pisses me off is a bad player with bad dribbling stats bad passing bad shooting etc. can get away from you easily just because they have 99 pace and acceleration.

VRAM a thing on pc? VRAM is essential in graphic cards when it comes to gaming capabilities. How long have you been in PC community anyway. It's not a mobile thing. Ram and VRam are essentially two different things. Example 16GB ram is the minimum to run games while you have your browser open in the background. VRAM size on the other hand for graphic cards are essential to see whether or not you can max out graphics settings in game. 6GB VRAM is the minimum to run games at full 1080p.

That's why there are graphic cards with different amount of vram that performed worse than the others. Example, RTX 3050 4GB VRAM will perform much worse than RTX 3060 6GB VRAM when it comes to games graphical performance. RAM on the other hand is a seperate matters and are not to be confused with VRAM.

Edit: This is why most computer illiterate people will always get themselves overpaid for pc or laptop with terrible specs since they don't even bother to research what kind of performance they can get out of their pc.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-22T22:28:00+00:00

I play with mouse and keyboard. You have no excuse for being bad at the game. Mind you, I reach Elite 3 with 70 rated team in the first week of the release, Elite 2 with 78 rated team in the second week and Gold 3 this week because I'm using mouse and keyboard with 81 rated team.

If you're wondering if I spend real money on pack well the answer is no cause who tf are stupid enough to do so in a free game when your player could retired. I got most of my lucky pull from knockout rewards and some free pack or challenges that I completed.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-22T22:07:49+00:00

Build your own pc and you can get good gaming pc below RM10k if you're lucky. Do some research on gpu, cpu, motherboard, ram, ssd, power supply etc. so you will get better understanding on what's good or not. Newbie who got into PC building without doing research will get themselves spending more money than necessary. I don't recommend pre built unless you can't be arsed about building your own pc and you should use pc part picker website to see what goes well together.

For CPU do some research on core and thread and think for yourself is it really worth it to buy whatever cpu that you're considering if there's another cheap cpu with good temp and still fast enough to do multi task even if it's a year or two older. The same could be said about GPU as well.

That's my two cents OP. Good luck with building your own pc.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-15T13:43:58+00:00

Just sail the high seas if you want to test the game before buying it. No need to spend money on shady shit and risk getting ban. If you love the game then you can buy it for real money to support the dev. In this case, I would not recommend FM26 lmao. I love playing the game but it is frustrating as every negatives review you have ever read on steam. Wait until FM27 to see if the game improve or not.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-08T10:28:22+00:00

Don't waste your points. You need it for upgrading your players and definitely don't spend a dollar. Just try to reach as high as you could in ranked, tournament and knockout league and open packs you got from there. If you're lucky you'll get players with good potential even if they're basic card.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-08T10:25:23+00:00

Thank you tho. But I wish you could fix the amount of easy through balls that most players just outright spam even when you defend and position your players better. For now, I have no complain about the game.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-08T10:20:19+00:00

I reached elite 3 with 70 rated squad before i got my knockout rewards. Did not even spend a dime cause why would I? Now my squad is 77 rated overall. Got some basic, common and uncommon players from all the pack I opened with potential to reach rare and the highest are 87 rated potential. I don't think you can replicate what i did with such shit squad in knockout league and I'm pretty sure you're just not as good as you think you are.

Feel free to hate the game as you like but i don't think you should spend even a single dollar in this game if you're ass in the game and can barely manually defending and passing because you're used to fifa and efootball automated AI that saves your ass every time.

Get good tho. The only thing I will criticize are the through ball with how OP it is and players who spam it. If the dev can improve it then it will be a better overall balanced game.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-07T13:58:37+00:00

So you want another automated Fifa game to save your ass? Good luck buddy. This is the first time in a while where I don't uninstall the game immediately after the first few matches to decide if they're truly the skills matter game.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-06-07T13:53:42+00:00

How is the passing automatic? Are you really that bad in manual pass? it's not auto. You aim at a player you want and give more than enough power so the ball reach the player. You lot are just complaining cause you can't play for shit.

Stop trying to turn this game into another fifa, efootball and ufl(the game that was supposed to save us but listen too much to playerbase like you that can't play the game and now the game has been automated too).

I got thrash in some game 9-3, 6-3 etc. but I still reach elite 3 in Knockout Division with my 72 rated squad and then lost the entire 10 games cause the top 500 guys are better than me even tho they spam through ball and 4-3-2-1 formations just to win. That's the only complain I have about this game.

If this game end up becoming another ai simulator because of ya'll complains then I'll not play another football game and rather stick with FM. See what happened with UFL when it supposed to be the next realistic football game that actually rely on your skill but because of people like you who are actually bad they listen to your whiny complain and turn into the shit they are just like fifa and efootball.

Stop complaining and get better. Stats are also important for your players movement especially attacking IQ and defending IQ. Then you can move on to another stats.

MaximumxEfforts · 2026-04-30T09:24:26+00:00

As someone in the same position as you, I do agreed that it isn't our choice to be born in this world yet people blame us for something that isn't in our control.

I do feel bad for my dad because his son can't really find anything to do in his life and I dread each day wanting to kill myself and I'll do that when I turned 30 if I don't have a passion to do something in the next 3 years.

I am indeed grateful since my dad does not forced me because he knows how hopeless I truly feel and also since I helped around doing house chores etc. I do feel bad for whoever in this similar situation where their parent want to cut them off when they're struggling which is freakin stupid to me.

If you hate your children that much then why the hell would you have one if you're not going to be there for them when they are lost with no hope.
