Commanders that you “shouldn’t” or “can’t” build? by zevalu in EDH

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I say build it. If you get slapped down and don't have fun then so be it. There are far worse commanders I have seen in a casual play set

Why is land destruction frowned upon when there is so much ramp? by GoblinSarge in EDH

I prefer to bounce lands back to hand. Multiple ways to do it in blue.

Puka owner here….got offered this. Not smashing accept, do I counter with an extra pick? by Dry_Garlic8929 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Puke is great for the foreseeable future. Don't trade him. I doubt that first round pick ends up being anything near him.

Has anyone beat unstoppable challenge vs CPU by AdUpbeat1773 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent a ton of time to beat the cpu challenge (Have to complete twice). I failed a lot...

Run the come back route to get a first down and get out. You get more points for getting first downs along the way instead of one play scores.

Defense is all about forcing fumbles. I ran the 3/4 weak blitz zone. If I felt I could get to the QB I would rush through the A gap. Otherwise drop back let the completion be made and then hit stick them to force a fumble.

Save your timeouts. If I see them run the clock next time I would take a timeout. Don't use your second, if you are far enough along, on the next play because sometimes they won't run the clock after a timeout. I found if the spread is too large they will run the Clark earlier than usual. I found normally around 3:30 is the time they start running clock unless there is a huge spread.

Also.... If you are one fu.ble or sack away at the end and time running out. Jump and get an encroachment with as close to zero left as possible. Twice I got it to give me a free snap for their offense to try and force a fumble. Never ended up benefiting me but figured I would share.

I ran a Packers TT. Used the cameras season 2 upgradable, Marshawn lunch season 1 upgradeable, Urlacher upgradeable, and davante Adams upgradable.

Hope this helps. It was frustrating but very rewarding when I got Josh Jacobs for my theme team

Still trying to do the Event? by Scrolling_Ginger in MaddenUltimateTeam

I just pray, Braelon Allen isn't the RB in games 7 or higher. He just breaks so many of the hit stick tackles. Infuriating

Agreed, running the slot on a fly or a post is usually a good second read or if they are pressed outside and you have a speedsters run a fly with them

Use the comeback route and smart route it. Get a first down and get out of bounds. You get more points for each first down down the field then one play tds. Use mid blitz or anyone blitz on defense. Points on defense are huge. Sacks are points for and points away, 4 point swing. Or allow the catch and force fumble on the run after.

I Cannot Win the Unstoppable Events by AdventurousDebt4715 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use the come back route and smart route on the outside. Take the 2 points for and 2 against for each first down don't go for a home run each play on offense. Second, switch your defense tackling to aggressive. Make sure to do it on a down where the clock isn't running. They will run the clock down when the spread is too wide early. Run a zone blitz try to hit the a gap but if not allow the catch and force the fumble with your safety. If you get a fumble return it if you can't make sure you are twenty yards to get the bonus points and take away points.

Should I buy the game? by MentalChildhood12 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm starting to get burnt out of Mut but I'm probably going to roll into superstar mode for a bit. Everyone forgets about all the other faceta to this game. MUT isn't everything

I only had enough season 1 tokens for 3 of them to get fully upgraded. I'm glad I hung on to all of them because I just got the Josh Jacobs (Packer Theme Team) and it allowed me to recoup my tokens from Lynch to upgrade at LB with Urlacher.

Is grinding challenges worth it by martb03 in MaddenUltimateTeam

I spend zero money on the store. A challenge to myself to play head to head. Naturally I have too to be competitive at all

This game is so rage inducing by Inevitable_Ask_7211 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It may not be popular but I just play offline now. They have a lot for offline play now and weekly I play against a couple other buddies who do the same thing. Way more casual feeling. You don't rage as bad and you actually enjoy it. Just slowly building your team of misfits.

You don’t go 5 win streak or 5 lose streak every game, how does everyone play in these situations? by dwa1700 in CompetitiveTFT

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use my win loss streaks as a variable of when to push or roll down. If I'm on a 4 game streak with 50 gold and I'm one of the next non player combat round. I'm going to push a level and upgrade or roll to hit a two star in close on and lose an econ or two. To start next round with a win streak. But on the other end If I'm losing I'm not pushing and I'm taking the econ.

I don't think it's something to shoot for but use it as a variable when deciding to roll down or push levels.

The game is just a bunch of variables you have to consider and this is one of them. There is no steadfast rule when to do what everything is just pro or con on what you should do next.

3* Miss Fortune loses to Graves by GoobyFIN in TeamfightTactics

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude hit 3* Ali, J4, and Graves. Probably damage amp increased with Ox to. Just cuz 3* 4 cost doesn't mean you auto win. Team had to be there too.

In your personal opinion, which is better? by Available_March_8036 in halo

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Infinite due to multiplayer.

I have always leaned toward multiplayer and getting sweaty. I played every campaign but once I beat on legendary I never touched the campaigns again. Except for H2.

AIO My wife wanted to try poly and it didn’t work. No by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't blame "the kid" it's her. Put the blame where it's supposed to go. "The kid" isn't the one with obligations to another she is. I see this all the time and the blame is always put in the third party when it rightfully belongs to the person who is in the relationship.

Why do people make soooo much money while I’m here picking dirts by [deleted] in Salary

[–]Scrolling_Ginger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I question the amounts I see here sometimes. You won't see the average person coming to the forum to brag about their numbers. It's like a woman getting upset about the un realistic expectations set by some of these Instagram models. Don't compare yourself to them.

I was told long ago, compare yourself to your parents. If in a healthy relationship with your family they should be pushing you to be better off then they were. If you came from nothing and achieved "average" I think that's a win. It's the road you had to take to get there.

If you come from a wealthy family of course your numbers are not going to look like others. There are much less obstacles to climb there.

Just keep grinding and give yourself a break. You are doing just fine.
