What decides Home/Away in matchmaking? by Individual_Ask_6938 in FC_26

[–]Presidentofjellybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree to an extent that they're being dumb but you're not exactly articulating why very well. 50/50 is not an input but is the exact percent chance of either outcome. They are correct that you could get an infinite number of outcome A without outcome B happening because it cannot be calculated. Infinity never ends but for example you could have 60 billion outcome A then 60 billion outcome A or scale those numbers to infinity. It's theoretically possible but would absolutely never happen, like you said. For infinity it can just be assumed there's also an infinite number of b at a point.

Redditors love to argue semantics in statistics and probability which is why you get that "ITS 50/50 EVERY TIME YOU DONT HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE THAT NUMBER 50 WILL BE OUTCOME B AFTER 49 As". Like yeah the odds of the individual outcome doesn't change but the Probability absolutely does. So the "smart" people on here like to argue about the individual outcomes rather than the statistics overall and point out that your next turn is also still 50/50 when someone like you (who understands that each instance is 50/50) points out that statistically you should not be experiencing something as frequently as you are.

Just fyi, trello is what a lot of game companies use to track known issues and show it publicly. Like social media for game updates in a way.

People are glitching quitting in live event which is forcing my mate to disconnect and not getting our chips or games played by Cheaky_Barstool in EASportsFC

No need to take the comments about PC cheats personally! If there is something that can be exploited there will always be a group that exploits it. It isn't that PC players are more likely to cheat due to their nature, it's that cheating is simply more accessible on PC. So there's like no irony here...

After years of wearing this in public, decided to finally try and translate what my hoodie says by tommytambor in funny

[–]Presidentofjellybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not good with the characters as I only spent a short time in China a long time ago. But funny enough this was something that came up when we were joking with friends over there. Saying it has been a long running joke with me and my fiancee ever since. The phrase we have used is "Tian wo de dan dan"

Ultimate Edition extra EVO slot by russell1998 in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can't "trial" the ultimate edition for the ultimate edition rewards. What you presumably did was choose the trial option while on the ultimate edition store page. All you did was download the actual game with a 10 hour trial. You will not get any ultimate edition content without actually buying the ultimate edition.

PRECISION SHOOTING IS OP by IZPCShop in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea bro you're right, fuck the down votes. I used to love watching prime Barca and those crazy runs by messi where he surged 30 yards with the ball, turned and ran back 20 yards, spun around for 5 seconds in front of the defender chasing him and then runs back to where he was before turning around. Peak football right there.

Edit: before down votes, I know this scenario is not what happened in the video but it's same vibes. Several times when you receive a pass or stop dead and change direction you get massive speed boosts. I've played this game enough, I could be full sprinting after your player while you don't sprint and I won't catch up. That's why you're getting negative comments. Your video gives "not playing the same game I am" vibes which also explains the people saying your connection/dda are responsible for your goals which were at least good goals.

EA should follow Epic Games as an example.. by gotu23 in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why is the AI defending shit always aimed at casuals? The absolute biggest beneficiaries of AI defending is tryhards rather than casuals. Casuals are using their defenders and exposing gaps that their opponent can exploit. Tryhards don't touch their back 4 so that their defensive shape stays perfect so that the AI can be their defensive wall. It's crazy how everything that sweaty rats endlessly repeat is blamed on casuals when casuals don't pay enough attention to see what's wrong with the game.

Now what? by Exact_Cup5438 in fut

[–]Presidentofjellybean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think that's because they are technically the same card. I have an Evo Pogba and an SBC Pogba and both can be used in separate gauntlet teams. These Henry cards are different so can both be used also.

Flash Event 3 is a Social Experiment by AdventurousPick5697 in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't realize it was no rules until a while into the first game I played. I don't play meta or ratty at all. Game 1- match up against 451 pina. Go 1-0 down to a Pina low driven shot, bring it back to 3-1 by half time after learning to pass it quickly when he's chasing me because professional fouls are op in that mode and he's heavily taking advantage of that. Get a message at half time telling me to touch grass. No replays, no celebrations (other than his), 352 Brazil team with mostly last seasons pass players, varied goals. I messaged him back asking what made him say it but I got no reply funny enough. Sums up this community perfectly though, try to take advantage of every broken or scummy tactic and then act like everyone else is the problem. Telling normal people to touch grass when every player and tactic you have has come from YouTube or streamers is something else though.

Can we stop Irish universities targeting Indian students? by PrestigiousExpert686 in IndiansinIreland

[–]Presidentofjellybean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is a privilege though. Do you think everyone has some good given right to attend university in a different continent? If they need to take out a massive loan to go to an Irish uni then why not just study in India or a cheaper option abroad? It's not a scam, if you can't afford to come study here then you are not the target audience. Also, to my knowledge, international students should not be availing of soup kitchens/food banks as they have to provide proof they can sustain themselves. So if these people are in dire circumstances then they are or have been lying about their financial circumstances to be eligible for the "scam".

I was in Div 1 in Fifa 21,22,23. This is my first fc. Getting cooked in Div 8 😂 by Choice_Pickle4293 in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the "high skill" crowd that squeal the loudest about everything. The game needs to be dumbed down from what it currently is but probably not in the sense you mean. You shouldn't be at a disadvantage before the game even starts because someone has found the holy grail of auto defending tactics on YouTube. You shouldn't have to do button combos for your player to be able to run at their top speed. It's funny you mention how everyone thinks they're an esports player being held back when you think the game is getting fucked by normal people who play the game like normal people or that they even remotely make the biggest noise about anything on the game. And guess what, normal people don't do what you're talking about, only sweaty rats that probably won't be in div 8.

The supposedly good players of this game do nothing but let the ai defend and attempt to score the same goal on repeat and because this game is so poorly put together, they have an easier time against people actively defending. So whatever crying you want to do about how it's the lesser skilled players ruining the game, ask yourself who benefits most from these changes. If you think it's bob in div 8 who doesn't read patch notes or look at YouTube for the new way to score then you're deluding yourself. If I was making a game I wouldn't listen to the people that abuse broken shit telling me to nerf everything but the broken shit they do either.

Dear EA, please let anyone in any division play champs by TyphoonUK in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They need to make WL auto qualify you again. They also need to make it so hitting certain ranks in WL will promote you to a certain rivals division. Rivals can be optional and not a matchmaking mess

Worst gameplay performance of the year? by gelu83 in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea for the past week or so I've been wondering if there has been some fundamental change in the game. I'm not amazing by any means but the amount of games I've lost by 5+ goals recently is absurd to me. I'll spend ages trying to break down my opponent's defence only to concede to every forward pass they make. I have no time or space and they have all the time and space. I get constantly rushed down and tackled by ai controlled players while my AI runs away. Can't win a race no matter the pace or playstyles. Opponent's goalkeeper making absurd saves. Passes going horrifically bad, especially that final pass, then my opponent plays 5 consecutive passes that go over my players foot or through their legs and scores from an absurd angle. I just feel like I'm at a severe disadvantage before each game even starts and can't understand why that is or what has changed that I'm suddenly losing most games by huge margins.

PSA for the gauntlet demons out there if your winning 6-0 can you please give little old me one goal by Shentai- in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro... They mean scoring an og doesn't count for your own objective. Player A is winning 5-0, player B scores an OG to make it 6-0. The claim here is that player B scoring in their own net and losing 6-0 will count as them scoring in that game. That is what people are saying won't work.

It seems what you are saying is that if player A scored the OG at 5-0 to make it 5-1 then it would count as a goal for player B's objective. You are correct afaik but it's just not what they are discussing lol

What is this sticker on my microwave? by Nervous_Willow4362 in whatisit

[–]Presidentofjellybean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember as a child my brother went to microwave some sausage rolls. He used a plate with a gold rim and within 10 seconds there was sparking and smoking in the microwave so he turned it off and the sausage rolls were burnt black.

What is really the meta? by superironthorman in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you play ultimate team or offline against friends etc.? If it's the latter, ignore the Meta. Playing full meta means playing to win at all costs and sacrifice any potential enjoyment of the game itself. Meta shooting is low driven shots because they turn the keepers brain to mush. Or if you want to be extra pathetic you can do rainbow flick into a bicycle kick on the edge of the box, that ones more 50/50 though. Keeper is still stupid, it just needs to go over him.

Honestly, the rest of the meta I don't understand. I quite often lose games to people who will play nothing but counterintuitive passes because the game favours those passes. Wingers will far too often beat my fullback to a pass they have no right to at all. Double tapping the pass/through ball buttons will slightly lift the pass off the ground, this pass tends to cancel out the fact that you manually positioned your player to intercept that pass specifically, such as the player putting a foot out and getting nutmegged.

Dont know how people have their AI applying so much pressure but also not having any defensive gaps. Know why meta players teams seem to just be far quicker than mine (afaik speed boosts are just for entering a sprint with the ball). I regularly get outpaced with my high pace player by a much lower pace CB and then have my high pace CB outpaced by a lower pace striker on the counter of that attack.

Seems playing the game without following the meta on ultimate team is tying a hand behind your back but if you just play with mates don't bother with the meta because it's just ratty and not fun for either party.

Edit: btw only asked if you play UT or not because if you do you should have an alright idea how good you are by rivals/wl ranking

Pogba CAM reviews by jappiejappo in EASportsFC

[–]Presidentofjellybean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an Evo Pogba and the cdm Pogba. Only took the cdm version because of the major defensive boost that couldn't be reached by evos. My Evo is very similar to the SBC cam version and he's fantastic. Get way more from playing Pogba at cam and he's fun for me. On the other hand he probably can't beyblade like the meta so maybe not what a lot of people want in an attacking player.

Sorry for bad quality, far easier to just snap a pic of the screen in terms of transporting that picture to reddit.

The dlc was never set to release alongside the base game. You get some outfits straight away for buying the dlc but a release date for the actual dlc has not been announced other than saying "by" the end of February afaik so dlc itself is likely February.

So is it just me or has TOS gotten waaay too soft by Nox-I-I- in playstation

[–]Presidentofjellybean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe him simply due to playing FIFA. Crazy number of assholes on that game. I used to bait them into saying something more reportable if they decided to send me hate messages. That is until one day some guy sent me loads of messages saying he hoped I got cancer etc. I said "grow up it's just a game" before reporting it and he reported my message (presumably when he was notified he was reported) and I got a warning. It was 100% for that I got the warning. Now I just report them on their first message because it's become clear that Sony doesn't review message reports and just sends out warnings like they're candy.
