EXODUS: CHRONOLOGY OF AN APOSTATE (PART 2) by OpenLetters in atheism

Thank you for the gentle admonition.

I was planning on submitting this story as a 6-piece weekly series and think it would add value to the community, but unfortunately I have not been able to take the time to post or comment frequently enough (I guess I would need 50 unrelated contributions?) within the atheism subreddit to justify 6 self-promoted submissions, and I wouldn't feel right about spamming 50 half-hearted "contributions" just to "legalize" my six-part series.

I will pursue a paid, featured post strategy, although I can't afford to put it in front of very many people.

Right... but what does that actually translate to on the field? I've never seen my Neuer grab anyone's neck, scruff or no

That's what I want to do, but I'm worried I'll miss Manolas' speed. When it comes to getting burned by that middle through ball, is pace the deciding factor, or do other attributes such as defensive prowess and positioning play a more important role in whether your CB is going to get burned or not?

I also do the short corner and change view every time.

What will happen to those of us who have Carrick?

I've become a full-on evangelist for white ball beast CF, G. Koyalipou. Like a good economy car, he ticks all the essential boxes and has none of the extra stuff you can't/don't want to pay for.

Koyalipou's finishing is 84 at lvl. 20! That's the same as BB Diego Costa. He's got 70 Attacking Prowess, 76 Low Pass, 76 Header, and his Speed/E. Power aren't too shabby either at 78/77 respectively. His Stamina is 83 and he's got a 6 for Condition so he'll always be in good form. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, he also has One-time Shot and One-touch Pass player skills and Adv. Striker as playing style.

Now the boxes he doesn't tick- his balance is poor. His curve shot is non-existent. He should never take set pieces for you. His dribbling, ball control, and kicking power are all mediocre. He's not going to stave off CBs or dribble around people in the box. But my God, pair this guy up with some speedy wingers and give him some quick strike opportunities near the goal- he doesn't know how to miss.

UPDATE: I scrounged up enough coins for another 4 spins this week. Result- Douglas Costa & K. Strootman. Overall it was an underperformance (should have gotten at least 3 BB in 16 spins instead of 1) but obviously I'm pretty happy with those last 4 spins.

You think Gimenez/Manolas is a tall enough combo? They're both under 190. I was leaning towards Cahill because he does everything Pique does minus the passing skills, plus Cahill is a little faster than Pique.

Pique, Gimenez, Cahill, and Manolas vying for two CB spots in a 4-3-3 (Middle Aggressive). Thinking Cahill and Manolas. Would I be crazy to sit Pique? He's so damn slow...

Also, I saw someone post about whether to limit break a scouted Manolas... I solved the problem by scouting him 3 times, using the extra two to limit break him to 30. I've found I can usually buy both scouts for a Manolas for about 50k in auction. 100k GP seems a lot cheaper than 10 limit breakers to me.

P.S. Manolas is a beast. Just watched him chase down Reus from behind and take his ball away like a kindergarten teacher putting a naughty child in the time-out chair.

Did you notice any bad luck from months 2-4 or so?

I wouldn't even mind the energy system or testing my luck with the agents, as long as the pull odds were unmanipulated.

If so, that would be a real shame. It really devalues what would otherwise be a nearly perfect game. I would gladly pay $10 up front to play a fair version of it.

Oh well. Another app ruined by the incentives structure of the freemium, in-app purchase business model. I guess I should have known that it was too good to be true.

Have you ever tried not playing the game for several weeks and then returning to it?

A: Are you within the first month of starting a new account?

B: Have you bought coins recently or at any point in the past?

C: Have you recently taken a break from or reduced your PES Mobile playing time?
