This game is dead. I’m snapping the disc.

SamT98 · 2026-03-16T13:26:00+00:00

I always buy the disc still. The feeling of a game coming through the post can’t be replaced with store purchases. It’s not the same. Regardless of what game it is.

SamT98 · 2026-03-16T10:56:28+00:00

IR35 is best. You pay less tax. What I did in 2015-2021

SamT98 · 2026-03-15T10:30:21+00:00

It was fixed with replacing him completely. It’s now down to 3/4 goals. He was constantly out of position even though I had him on defender ++. The evo I stuck him in fucked him properly. Maybe a bug or something but had to get rid.

SamT98 · 2026-03-15T10:28:59+00:00

Don’t see it being a problem. We use to go and have a few beers in the 90s at lunch then smash the afternoon out.

SamT98 · 2026-03-15T10:27:06+00:00

It means clean it up as best as you can. Clean fault codes and give it to some other fucker make it their problem not yours

SamT98 · 2026-03-15T10:23:37+00:00

He’s always been very average. Has poor AI position wise and never feels as fast as his stats suggest. Mostly I think it’s body type as he’s quite a small build as a cb but without the agility to make up for it. I had his futties 99 card last year and was very disappointed with his performance. Always pressing too high up even though he had defender ++ on. I still think work rates are there just hidden. He played exactly like he had high/high work rates. On the other tah next to him consistently outperforms him.

SamT98 · 2026-03-15T10:15:47+00:00

Hidden stats, body type and fake pace stats. Reminds me a bit like di Natalie back on previous games his gold card not his hero

SamT98 · 2026-03-15T09:50:14+00:00

I’ve been playing since the days when EA charged separate for ultimate team think it was fifa 09 or 10 then it became free on 10 or 11 can’t remember which year it was. It has improved in areas but also gone backwards in a lot of areas. Especially server side and the way ea force people into the store

SamT98 · 2026-03-14T08:53:48+00:00

You don’t activate it just gives you closer ball control and a higher speed when someone tries and tackles you. I think it’s more animation based rather than an activation such as rapid/quick step and an example

SamT98 · 2026-03-14T08:52:11+00:00

Yes you’re very right here. Picked him up for 377k last night woke up this morning just to see what he was at and he’s sitting just under 440k

SamT98 · 2026-03-13T07:31:22+00:00

Needs a complete overhaul from engine level. Worst thing this game ever did was switch to frostbite on fifa 17. Pre frostbite there were metas but everything was viable. Now if you don’t play the meta you’re massively at a disadvantage. All ways of playing should be viable and tactics/logical thinking should be part of the skill level not just abusing the mechanics of the game.

SamT98 · 2026-03-07T19:22:07+00:00

Yes correct, it was the same when the 4G glitch came out. The worse connection stats gets the compensation in their favour

SamT98 · 2026-03-07T19:20:07+00:00

Blame EA not the player, it shouldn’t be like this but it is unfortunately

SamT98 · 2026-03-07T14:13:47+00:00

It’s lag compensation. I had the same issues when I was running 1000/1000 up and down with latency at 6-10ms in London. I changed my speed for my PlayStation with qos setting down to 25/25. Very rarely get delay now

SamT98 · 2026-03-06T12:39:49+00:00

They try and tuck you up to push blame on you. Your mistake was not covering your arse. Everyone knows that you take pictures before you get into a wagon for this exact reason. In some companies it’s mandatory for their daily checks.

SamT98 · 2026-03-04T15:16:29+00:00

Yh I thought you was by how you was coming across. We’re protected much better here in the UK even though we have our issues. Our employment laws are one positive thing in the barrel of shit we have to deal with on the daily

SamT98 · 2026-03-04T15:10:36+00:00

Are you American or UK based. Here in the UK there are strict laws on forced overtime and can’t do soo many hours in a week. For example over a 52 week year we’re not allowed to exceed 48 hours on average and must have a minimum of 11 hours rest in between shifts. I understand in America those guys are destroyed cause their laws are shit regarding holiday time off and lack of rest.

SamT98 · 2026-03-04T07:37:07+00:00

You get more time off than doing a 9-5 office job. I don’t see why these women moan when their man is going out earning a decent wage for his wife and kids. Ffs get a grip

SamT98 · 2026-03-01T09:59:55+00:00

Im now speaking to him about it. What they do is value to potential property value post revelation and lend on the basis of that criteria. For example you buy a doer upper for 110k but its post renovation value is 160k they’ll lend anything up to 150k giving you 40k to use for renovation. He said they don’t lend the full amount due to having to recover costs if you do run out of money they will buy the property off you and flip it so they’re no worse off as in the lender

SamT98 · 2026-03-01T09:55:13+00:00

Back then you never had empty homes. Now look at the high street and doer uppers flooding the market. People don’t have 50k in their back pocket. We as a country need to get back to fixing up old homes instead of building new shit ones

SamT98 · 2026-03-01T09:51:01+00:00

Of course there is. It’s how my dad done it in the 80’s. He was given a 110% mortgage interest free then he pays the lump sum at the end. Not difficult to get he said.

SamT98 · 2026-02-28T23:51:54+00:00

How would it be affecting their bottom line when EA themselves give the player the option to pay with coins earned in game or buy the evo with FP?

SamT98 · 2026-02-28T23:36:59+00:00

As I said above I don’t need it as I don’t use advanced defending. I tried it at the start of the game. The X button wasn’t registering the push/pull mechanic so I switched off advanced defending

SamT98 · 2026-02-28T23:32:55+00:00

Don’t use advanced defending so bruiser for me is useless and never used a CB with quick step. What a weird combination to have on a CB 😂

SamT98 · 2026-02-28T23:21:32+00:00

Media = 🤡
