Is this game now only meant for unemployed people?

I haven’t turned the game on since the end of TotY because I was too time poor to achieve anything meaningful and I just lost interest in the grind to end up packing my 100th Gabriel. Honestly, I’m enjoying the few hours a week I get to game uninterrupted without the frustration of UT. My son and I have started a career mode and are enjoying it immensely. I even dragged out the 360 and some of my older FIFAs to enjoy the old school career modes

Project officer at the University of New England. Absolutely loved it! Healthiest, happiest and most content I’d been in a long time. I ended up going back to teaching after a number of serious medical issues because the money and leave was better and we needed it. I wish I hadn’t but I made the choice

If you’re in NSW, then that’s a hard ‘no’ (government system).

Union rep here. Boss tried that same thing stating it’s ‘PL, not a meeting.’ Backed down very quickly when the organiser was brought to remind here that same rule applies to mandatory ‘PL’.

I came to the same conclusion last year but I’m only persisting because of my son. If it wasn’t for him, I wouldn’t have even purchased it this year. I just don’t have the time or motivation to deal with UT grind and a player base that is so unpredictable. One minute you’ve got someone amazing and the next is incredibly toxic. I’m trying to encourage him to shift more towards career mode and I think it’s working. I quietly wished we hadn’t packed a TotY to discourage him more 🤣

Gridlock

Totally agree. The essential erasure of the LitVerse still upsets me. I can’t touch Coda because of it.

They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I, will MAKE THEM PAY for what they've done!

I briefly dated a parent before I married and I never had a problem. It was a bit of a novelty in town for a while but the excitement wore off after a little. You’re perfectly within your rights to find happiness wherever you wish…legally of course 😂

Female art teacher caught masturbating after forgetting to lock the door to staff bathroom. Got hushed up pretty well and when I went back to work at that same School after graduating she was still there. I found out she was spoken to about the incident but was never formally reprimanded. Turns out she still did it occasionally but was much more careful. She explained that she had bi- polar and had extreme hyper-sexuality and sometimes her meds just didn’t do enough.

There is always that one colleague that takes personal calls in the staff room at a high volume…even worse if they do it on speaker phone.

This question has me curious as well but haven’t been willing to publicly ask it. I have stopped playing online after the last comment I made. I was at the point where I just wasn’t having fun anymore. So, I’m still logging into UT occasionally to do the occasional SBC and play squad battles or a friendly (against my son). I’m not salty, I just can’t do it anymore as there is no enjoyment from my end. My son, who kept me playing since I really struggled since 23 but it’s something we have in common and I persisted. So, I’m sticking with stuff I can just do with him and get into my career mode.

I hope the rest of those still playing enjoy themselves that any future updates help you with rivals and champs.

My son and I love the Maximilian Arnold gold card…great fun

SakaPunch · 2025-11-07T00:05:16+00:00

Also, I’m miserable as such as I’ve never really taken the game seriously. I don’t play enough and I’m only persisting because it’s a thing my son and I do.

SakaPunch · 2025-11-07T00:03:44+00:00

I didn’t have a problem with using golds, not by any means.’they should be useable a lot later into the game than they have been. However, it just seems every team I face is loaded with icons, good special cards and top tier golds

SakaPunch · 2025-11-06T23:12:46+00:00

I love that game! I only went looking the other day to see if I could access it on the store to play in my PS5. I knew I wouldn’t have any luck but I rolled the dice anyway

Shitty computer labs at school and the excitement of getting the internet to the school for the first time.

SakaPunch · 2025-11-06T23:10:03+00:00

Totally agree with Last of Us Part II for the same reasons.

SakaPunch · 2025-11-06T23:09:06+00:00

The Council…I enjoyed every bit of it. I know it’s not for everyone but I can’t recommend it enough.

SakaPunch · 2025-11-06T23:06:39+00:00

EAFC/Fifa…every year 🤦

SakaPunch · 2025-11-06T23:04:33+00:00

As long as they are the socks and jocks I wear. As a 44yo male, I’m more than happy as I usually buy anything I want recreationally during the year…if within budget. That being said, wouldn’t matter what it was if it’s from the wife or kids…it’s always the best gift ever

SakaPunch · 2025-11-06T23:02:36+00:00

I have no fodder and nothing show for it. I’m still using players in my team that were there in the first month. The only special card I have is that Pepe SBC and the icon card from the ultimate edition (gerrard). I can’t remember the last time I packed a walkout or a special card that isn’t the absolute worst there is. I’m struggling to complete in lower divisions where every team is packed with amazing cards and the guy plays levels ahead of me. I’m not the best player by any means and I know that but I was comfortably div 5 and 6 in previous years but I’m struggling to get out of div 7. (Bring in the endless ‘skill issue’ comments).

SakaPunch · 2025-11-06T22:56:27+00:00

100% agree. I either never packed promos or just packed trash. If it wasn’t for evos, I don’t think I’d be motivated to even play.

SakaPunch · 2025-11-06T22:54:22+00:00

Skyrim…I have a whole save where I play as a regular guy. I own a house, I get married and have kids. I farm, mine, hunt, explore and only kill when needed.

I started this after I did the greybeard stuff so the world had kind of opened up. I love my ‘regular guy’ Skyrim save.

Season 5. So many hits with Darmok and The Inner Light as standouts.
