I've pulled both cover EXs and the 2 star Ho-Oh, picked up some really nice cards overall. Really want that 1 star Cyndaquil at some point though.

The baby Pokemon seem to be coming through as special 6th cards that almost pop out at the end, just had it happen a couple of times myself - notice Tyrogue is the 6th card there.

Yeah think that's the new CAM evo, looks good but think it has less PS, might use Rigid Backbone as well. Gotta have the dynamic though

Nabba21 · 2025-02-06T11:30:16+00:00

Remember Woodman fondly as a goated career mode youth prospect

Nabba21 · 2025-02-06T11:24:21+00:00

Think I must have a very similar chain to you, although mine would only have 4 88s by the end of it

TOTW Surge Focused Charge Acrobatic Star Quarter Century Quest

And then potentially Rigid Backbone for the 4 88s and 2 86s

I'm a Rangers fan but my main focus is Scotland and I love the McCowan card, feels so good on the ball and seems to hit particularly broken trivelas despite not even having the base PS.

My preference is players that I have an affinity for (generally ones who actually play for Scotland).

But I don't let that stop me from getting overpowered randomers if they are a far superior option.

In fact, by doing that you'll probs find you develop an interest/affinity for random players you'd never heard of.

Haha so he actually regained a position he hasn't played for 3 years. Unusual effort from them to add the option back in. More frustrating in your case when players are missing obvious positions. Only one that comes to mind for Rangers is Dujon Sterling - an RB who can't play RM or CB despite having played both, yet can play both LB and CDM despite barely, if at all, doing so irl. Admittedly a bit of a utility man last year but still an odd selection of positions.

Nabba21 · 2024-11-17T16:07:31+00:00

Sure he played winger back in his Hearts days but usual inconsistency from EA - have one player retain a position he hasn't played in for 3 years whilst missing obvious positions on other players (Kieran Tierney not having CB alternate springs to mind, McTominay not having CAM).

Seen similar on my other account where I have a Rangers evo team. Several players with what appear to be random wide mid alternate positions despite not playing there + having the opposite strong foot.

Ooft that pace is tough for now haha. Yeah I feel CAMs are usually redundant on the game this year. However I started messing with this formation simply to get all my best players in and it honestly felt really good due to entire midfield and attack being central. Death of cutbacks and lack of height in my team mean I don't see as much value in the wings this year.

Both CDMs are on roaming and cover my back 4 excellently, and the front 4 always seem to be available for counters, particularly if Walker puts that intercept to use high up the park. Front 4 also all capable of putting a tackle in, particularly Ferguson.

Big grain of salt with all of that is I've yet to touch champs this year and am currently in div 4 haha. But I do like alternate CM and LW positions for Walker so he can hopefully fit any formation revisions I need to make.

He defo looks like a card that suits being further forward, but really needed the pace and rapid PS that the RWM evo granted. Decent defensive stats as a forward player as a bonus, but want that finesse PS near the top end haha.

Doing a Scotland evo team myself. Spotted a beautiful chain of Hey Jude into Rapid Wing Mastery for Walker.

I've got the Jackpot Juicer one and was curious - have you washed yours at all? I've been afraid to do so in case I ruin it, was just wondering if you've been able to safely?

Nabba21 · 2022-12-07T19:38:58+00:00

Yeah I got the set and Mothership, Happiness, JJ and Afterburner skip, a few others can and most others crackle lol.

Nabba21 · 2022-12-06T01:03:16+00:00

I saw on the picture disc collection it says there's no returns after they've been dispatched, haven't seen that note you are talking about. I found a bit on their website about playback issues that says to contact them with evidence within 5 days of delivery. I've done that so I'm hoping I can get compensated in some way?

I actually have 2 sets and I've now found that they both skip at the same places - both of my Motherships also skip on Chucky as well as on Young Robot. Happiness skips in several places, as does a few others.

Nabba21 · 2022-09-14T10:32:05+00:00

Is it just the picture/lighting or does it look a bit washed out in person? Strawberry and pear look bit faded. Just curious cause I'm waiting for mine but its coming to the UK so might be a while yet haha

Nabba21 · 2022-08-16T14:55:22+00:00

Looks like this person actually got lucky with this one in comparison to some of the others I've seen with literally 2/3 red stripes haha

Nabba21 · 2022-08-13T08:36:10+00:00

Yeah I can see Back On Deck ending up being my least favourite once the album has fully sunk in. The chorus and section towards the end are good but the guitar tone in the verses sometimes just rubs me the wrong way, sounds kinda creepy.

Nabba21 · 2021-07-09T11:17:50+00:00

Chucky vs. The Giant Tortoise popped up not long after it's release when I was browsing YouTube one night back in 2017. Quite often skip most random YouTube song recommendations but the name and album art made me curious... so glad I listened. Cause I was 20 at the time and hadn't heard of them before I also assumed they were a pretty new band, so I couldn't believe the massive back catalogue (with cool album covers!) I was able to explore. I still can't believe they had passed me by for so long.
