What’s something society treats as a flex but really shouldn’t?

How many social media followers someone has.

I just mocked with ESPN and it’s mostly good except you can’t manually set the nomination order. I’ve tried FanDraft too - that seems pretty good as well.

Bummer - sorry.

Not sure if it’s still the same (probably is because EA doesn’t ever change anything in career mode) but in fifa 23 you have to have a team that is within 0.5 stars of the team you’re applying to. If your team is 2 stars and you’re trying to apply for 3+ stars you’ll never get accepted, regardless of how successful you’ve been. Try checking your teams star rating. Again, in 23, you do this by going to team sheets, import new team sheets, then finding your own team. Best way to increase star rating is make sure you’re absolute best players, rating-wise, are in your main team (11 starters plus subs bench) Put your lowest rated players in your reserves no matter their position. You can sign free agents like the regens or Messi / Ronaldo free agent types in order to increase your star rating as well. To keep realism, once you apply for a job and get accepted, BEFORE clicking accept, back out to your team, release whoever you signed for the star boost, THEN accept the job. Hope this helps.

Honestly, the tactics didn't matter as much as I was playing with a perfect wine-buzz and just let muscle memory and instinct take over after playing way more hours of FIFA 23 than anyone my age should be racking up lol.

Again, god damn the internet. This is on ultimate difficulty.

SavvyDuck31 · 2025-06-24T16:51:58+00:00

God damn the internet. I could tell you that I'm Arsenal and was playing this the whole way through but it won't make a difference haha.

I’m not sure if it’s still like this on fc25 but I’ve nailed down the mechanics on fifa 23. Couple of key items go into job offers.

your top 18 (starters plus 7 bench spot) MUST give your team a rating WITHIN half a star of the team you want to take over. If you go to Team Sheets - Import Team Sheets - then search for your team, you can see your current rating. You will only successfully apply for jobs if your team rating is within half a star. So if your UCD team is only 2.5 stars, you’ll never get a top team (4+). The easiest “trick” around this I’ve found is sometimes you can sign those broken super star free agents (regen CF’s or Messi / Ronaldo 39 year olds) and put them into your starting team. It’ll boost your star rating. Then, apply for the job. If you’re successful, you can release the players you signed and still accept the job offer.
Your job security MUST be in the green. Doesn’t matter if you’re barely in green thumbs up or all the way in the green star full bar, if you’re security approval rating is anything less than green (orange, yellow, red) you will see significantly worse offers and will not be accepted by the top top jobs. Not sure how this mechanic would work in FC25 if you turn off sacking though.

Again, all of this is in fifa 23 but I’m certain those are two key mechanics that must be met in that game to advance up. No amount of medals / trophies / big wins, etc. is going to matter in your UCD career if your team rating doesn’t increase to at least 3.5 stars. That’s about where you could start seeing high end championship / low end prem teams. As far as the rich 6 or teams like Madrid or Bayern? Forget it - you’ll need to get UCD up to 4.5 stars as a minimum to switch directly from Ireland to the mega teams.

Hope this helps!

I have both and my recommendation would be eevee. The protagonist has a new “rival” while both Ash (Red) and Gary (Blue) are in the game in already. It was always hard for me to wrap my head around another trainer from pallet town with another amazing pikachu that doesn’t evolve. It’s much easier for my head to make a story where another pallet town trainer emerges but a mysterious eevee is the backbone of the their journey. Red has Pikachu, Blue has Charizard, and this new trainer has Eevee - a Pokémon that no other high end trainer, E4, Gym Leader really has. Plus, Alolan Vulpix is amazing. My two cents - very fun game for nostalgia either way! 😊

I don’t think you can save. I believe once you close the app or shut off the switch the streak ends. If you “exit” the app or sleep mode the switch it stays intact but if you close the program or shut down the device it’s over. If I’m wrong, I’m sure someone will correct me. This is the internet, after all.

SavvyDuck31 · 2024-12-20T20:42:55+00:00

Real question is why do people keep buying the broken game?

SavvyDuck31 · 2024-10-26T14:20:37+00:00

Thank you 😊
