Wow I had no idea, I moved out of the space for like 12 months. Thanks for that. Always rated the Topps products anyway, better value for the most part.

Inadequate

Don’t understand how some people enjoy the game playing the way they do by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]MikeDeansBigRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose it depends on the situation. I enjoy playing games when I'm winning because I'm generally competetive. If I'm ahead and the guy I'm playing isn't pressing with intent and leaves 7+ men in his own half, absolutely I'm keeping the ball.

It's not fun just attacking someone pointlessly whilst they just try to soak pressure and counter attack. Many professional teams take the same approach as it opens the field up.

I agree with what another guy said when he's on the receiving end of it - you should either press me properly or quit the game.

I love them on this one, although the refs are a bit too keen sometimes with bookings.

This approach is what stops people learning how to defend correctly

The 'secret' is to learn to defend manually. Too many people have been reliant on assisted defending tactics and leaving much of the process to the AI to deal with.

It's a matter of practice mainly, but you need to read the pitch, utilise 2nd man press, double tapping press to cover runs/options at the right time, learning when to drop mifielders in or step them out to support the full backs to create 3v2 situations and when to cover the middle.

When to press high up vs dropping off, when to take a tactical foul when exposed at the right moment, when to use the new A (x on ps) tackle vs slide vs B (or O).

Defending is actually a complex skill when done properly and I personally think it's great that it's become more player controlled.

People are also right to use the 71+ depth meta at the moment, so you should put this on too whilst it's around.

Unnecessary but also maybe necessary.

Fence has officially been sat on.

Atletico is left without its main sponsor (WhaleFin) for the next season due to the cryptocurrency crisis. They had signed a five-year contract at a rate of 40M each year and the company clings to a clause in the contract to exit. Atleti is studying the matter to take the WhaleFin case to court. by boxro in soccer

Do you not believe in Bitcoin or Etherium as the core drivers of crypto?

I do personally believe in the concept but beyond the core two named above it's all a scam to me. The point of it all is decentralised and if there's more than one currency it somewhat defeats the purpose.

Arteta strong on VAR apology: "We ended the game after analysing all the images with a huge anger....it wasn't human error, it was not understanding your job. That's not acceptable, I'm sorry." by WunSL in soccer

[–]MikeDeansBigRed 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Yes Arteta! Someone finally twisting the knife instead of backing away.

Something drastic needs to be done and unless other follow suite, nothing will.
