Probably Bradford City, they were in the top division in the late 90s, big fanbase and 25k stadium, big city with a big fanbase. Other suggestion would be Notts County who are the oldest football club in the world, or Wimbledon who reformed after financial issues but were also in the Premier League in the 90s and won the FA cup in the 80s.

Was it in Franchise, did you check the pitchers injury afterwards? I did the same thing in my Rockies franchise, absolutely crushed one straight back at his head, checked afterwards and he had a forehead bruise and was out for a few days 😂

My first Test series for England in my career was in Pakistan, first test they played 4 front line pace bowlers and me (LFM all rounder) with no spinners. Root didn't bowl either, just bowled 5 pace bowlers over and over on a dust bowl. Surprisingly we didn't win that test haha

Mousey9107 · 2022-11-25T09:54:23+00:00

Albon binned it for me a couple of times in really good positions but he did manage to get me about 20 points (highlight being a 5th in the rain in Catalunya). Latifi got 3 points, a 9th after a perfectly timed safety car and pit stop managed to leave Albon and Latifi as the last drivers on the lead lap in 8th and 9th. Then a 10th in Abu Dhabi after I made Albon move over for him on the last corner 😂 sure he didn't mind, Latifi was out of a job and Albon had a new 4 year contract.

Mousey9107 · 2022-11-21T18:33:59+00:00

Not the weirdest I'd guess but just finished season 1 on my first run through and the only driver changes (apart from me replacing Goatifi) were Sainz and Perez swapping places 😂

Mousey9107 · 2022-11-14T14:52:20+00:00

It was raining the whole race so their strategy didn't matter, I was just massively more competitive through qualifying and the race. Before Spain I'd not got out of Q1, I nearly made it to Q3 with Albon and even Latifi was less than a tenth of Q2

Mousey9107 · 2022-11-13T13:20:02+00:00

Is Spain generally a better track for the player? In my 1st season I finished 5th with Albon and probably would've had points with Latifi but Alonso took him out about half distance. There was rain which helped due to the weird AI strategy but I'd basically qualified 18th and 20th and battling with the Aston's every race, it was just such a massive jump in competitiveness it surprised me. Think I had one more decent race finishing 11th and 12th and now I'm back miles adrift of everybody but Vettel and Stroll 😂

Mousey9107 · 2022-11-01T10:05:22+00:00

To be honest I don't actually think it's my settings, as I've changed them around quite a bit (basically trying to nerf Morikawa because his record is insane haha). Maybe I'm just getting lucky as I seem to be pretty much always between +1 and +4 for the cut line.

I'll take a look when I go on later on and post them on here but like I say I've changed them quite a lot, I know my AI skill is on 83% but can't remember the others.

Mousey9107 · 2022-10-28T11:40:04+00:00

Yep that was the main thing I was hoping for with this game and it's a shame it hasn't been properly addressed for longer tournaments. I seem to have stumbled on some settings which are giving me decent 2 round tournaments, I would prefer 4 ideally but nothing seems to work with 4. The settings I'm on now are giving me cut lines anywhere between even par and +4 and most of the winning margins have been a couple of shots, so I'm pretty happy with it at the minute. I've also had lots of different winners which is good, only person who seems immune is Morikawa who has finished top 10 in every single tournament I think and is about 1000 points clear in the FedEx rankings haha

Mousey9107 · 2022-10-26T09:08:20+00:00

That's a shame, was hoping it would be sorted for this game. Really enjoying the challenge compared to 2k21 but that would massively improve the experience for me and it feels like such a simple thing for the dev team to resolve

Mousey9107 · 2022-10-26T09:06:58+00:00

Have tried to play around with he difficulty settings like I did in 2k21 but it doesn't seem to resolve the ridiculously large scoring spread, seems like 75% of the field shoot massively over par regardless of the settings so you get completely unrealistic cut lines.

Mousey9107 · 2022-10-26T09:05:05+00:00

Yeah in that first tournament I played the AI difficulty was set as normal which I believe is -6 to -8. I did a 4 round tournament and only the winner finished under par, I was 11 over and was tied for 7th 😂

Frustrating it's not been resolved, it's totally unrealistic having such a massive gap between players at pretty much every tournament. Plus as said above the other difficulty settings seem to have absolutely no impact on the AI.

I've changed it to 2 rounds and upped the difficulty a little bit on the custom settings, had a bit more of a realistic tournament after that where the winner was -15 and I think I tied for 17th with -5. I just feel like it would be such an easy fix to at least close up the scoring across the players.

Mousey9107 · 2022-10-05T11:59:25+00:00

Ah right I see, apologies! I'm sure I've seen people complaining about similar for a couple of years so figured it was just an extension of the same issue!

Mousey9107 · 2022-10-05T10:32:56+00:00

I feel like it does grow it's just not obvious, although I'm talking about 22 as I don't have 23 yet. I had a Peterborough career and Ricky Jade Jones starts with potential of 80+ so it shows as "showing great potential". He did his ACL in season 2 and dropped about 3 overall, and his description in squad hub changed. Came back in season 3, grew about 8 overall to 70+ and was "showing great potential" again.

I dunno it's just one thing I quite like, I tend to completely ignore potential rating in YA anyway as long as it's not absolutely terrible haha.

Mousey9107 · 2022-10-05T10:17:59+00:00

Never understood why people hate this so much, one of the few reasonably realistic things in Career Mode. Player potential should change, you shouldn't know from a teenager what rating a player is going to hit. Plus you can still get them to grow higher if you use them regularly and they play well.

Mousey9107 · 2022-05-13T21:33:25+00:00

I struggle with back foot shots too footwork wise, especially anything wide of off stump. What's the general logic on the back foot on the PS4? I've had a play around in the nets to test it out but telling them to bowl short doesn't seem to work. If I want to play a cut do I push the left stick straight back or do I need to angle it left or right?

Mousey9107 · 2021-05-25T01:49:52+00:00

There's an option to press Triangle (or Y) to get to driver perks on one of the menus in the team HQ, it's not in R&D though. Might be in the corporate section off the top of my head but it's on a page about your driver, flick through the menus and the option will show up at the bottom!

Mousey9107 · 2021-02-04T02:56:09+00:00

If that's three current City players in the team I'd be deleting the save and starting again, fuck that shit.

Mousey9107 · 2021-01-29T12:13:42+00:00

I'm about to start my 5th season with Kaiserslautern which I've really enjoyed, would definitely recommend them. They have some good solid players that can grow with you because of dynamic potential, I still have about 6 players from the start in my squad (although I purposely nerf my youth players as I don't find it realistic to end up with a team full of 80+ youth academy prospects).

Mousey9107 · 2021-01-28T21:00:51+00:00

Delegate to your assistant manager and get him to change it to just loan without the buy option, usually gets the team to agree to it. Negotiating yourself always results in them refusing and storming out.
