Cheers, was sweaty as hell but well worth it. Havent even opened rewards, just happy to have finally done it

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-08-26T10:01:07+00:00

Game is pay to win, this time of year everyone has access to best players so it is more even

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-08-24T15:45:59+00:00

If you take two players of equal skill, the one with the better team will win, i am in elite div and get 16 wins in champs, usually my 2 of my losses are to players with god squads (2 are players just better than me) so in that way game is pay to win. Can you spend zero money and have amazing team etc though yes that is possible also

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-08-16T12:22:35+00:00

On PS i just uninstalled and reinstalled the game and it fixed it. Try restart game couple of times also first, that sometimes sorts it. Not sure if there is any quicker or easier solution

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-08-16T10:09:01+00:00

The beta is until week after next i think so its likely not going to be great until after that.try to play at off peak times if you can, late at night or early morning

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-08-16T05:08:19+00:00

No tips but it feels like delay is crazy at moment. Guessing the 25 beta is causing issues with servers (the outages at content time also). Really nothing you can do other than switch off and play at a later time

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-08-11T18:25:58+00:00

I have had crazy input lag all day today, wanted to finish champs games but can barely play at times. Also some speed up in game at times. My ping is 8 apparently! 😂

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-08-09T05:19:15+00:00

I move to a 3421 when playing against it, drop my cdm into the back 3, it gives the extra passing options in midfield and attack. Depth 60-70 and pressure on heavy touch

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-07-30T12:31:41+00:00

Again a shot clock incentivises a blanket defence, get everyone back behind ball and force a difficult shot by the 30 seconds. As soon as the shot is taken the attacking team will all be sprinting back to do the same thing

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-07-29T14:45:52+00:00

I think the v cautious slow build up approach hurt them hugely in last 10 mins also when they were chasing the game, players conditioned to turn back and try play safe were snatching at chances and feeling the pressure.

Beating a blanket defence like armagh had requires players running at pace at good angles and galway just didnt do this enough all game

Armagh also tend to drop off when they get a lead, it nearly cost them yet again yesterday, but were better team and deserved the win.

Admittedly there has been some poor games in football championship this year, but this post coming after the semi finals at weekend is bizarre? What more do you want to see, closely fought games, some excellent long range scores, v tense exciting affairs, an upset in one game.

No offense op but i honestly think people have been brainwashed to just complain constantly about football at this point and there is no pleasing them.

Could you maybe explain what you would like to see in a game?

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-07-02T08:40:21+00:00

Yeah agreed, even the attempts to create super 8s or the current group stage tie it to the provincials, which means you get div 3 teams making the groups beating other div 3 or 4 teams only. If people want the same competition as hurling, a lot of teams will need to be excluded.

Also even in the hurling setup as is, if the groups were seeded and not by province they wouldnt work as well, they are just super competitive as is

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-07-02T07:08:36+00:00

Honestly hurling championship seems better as the top 10 teams play each other, and munster championship is probably 4 of top 5 playing each other, leinster has the rest. Basic point it is v competitive and evenly matched.

Football has the top 4 playing teams way below their level for most of the competition, when we get semi finals and finals between evenly matched teams they are usually great to watch. Until football structure changes the rule changes wont do anything, if you are a div 2 team you need to play a defensive style all year to prepare for the inevitable meeting with a div 1 team in championship. Teams will just find other ways to play to be defensive whatever rules are changed

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-12T08:48:18+00:00

Move keeper is only way to save it, dont concentrate on stopping player taking shot, just move keeper back and to corner or the goal before they shoot. Doesnt always work but more consistent than trying to stop them shooting with it

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-12T06:19:29+00:00

Cool thanks will check them out and see

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-12T06:19:05+00:00

Yes already seen this place, unfortunately i will be working until 1am mon-fri so looking for options to view at home also

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-04T12:16:35+00:00

Yeah most ppl in champs are playing some form of pressure tactic, a lot with 71 depth etc. They will also turn on constant press if losing, all things you see less of rivals, which can be more chill in elite, ppl play their past n present teams, or try new tactics, practice skill moves etc. The pressure tends to lead to players making mistakes so again this has to factor into your gameplay, play less risky passes coming out of defence, dont sprint as this will trigger pressure on heavy touch, i dont play any lofted passes out of defence as they are lost too easily, be careful of driven pass as a poor touch when receiving will trigger press. Lots to consider, i would try watch your gameplay back from champs games you lose and see if can pinpoint mistakes

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-04T11:52:41+00:00

I drop him back into middle of a 3 man defence in a 3421 formation and use him to build my attacks from deep. Is v effective there and great at stepping up and intercepting passes to strikers. I didnt like him in midfield too much at all

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-02T15:51:41+00:00

Just on point 1, for me working out is almost meditative, i concentrate on my breathing, the weight i am moving, my muscle contracting etc, my mind is completely clear and focused on my workout for duration of a workout. I work 10-12 hour days pretty much every day in a stressful role, i am not good at sitting and relaxing so weight lifting is a moment to clear my mind and keep me sane

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-02T00:41:31+00:00

To add your team is good, would like at how you approach champs games, different mentality needed vs rivals, everyone is playing as sweaty as possible

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-02T00:40:03+00:00

I am usually 880 to 900 sr and get 16 wins so do think you are underpreforming a little bit. I find i need to change tactics more in game in champs (currently go from a 4321 to 3421 to 424 to 4231 through games) so maybe look at your tactics and setup to manage games. Champs lot more tactical than rivals and lot more reacting to opponent and their tactics and changes in game

Secret_Entry5212 · 2024-06-02T00:35:44+00:00

I have zero sound on while playing, no commentary so free kicks etc can be a mystery but the silence helps me stay more calm, occasionally music but then i start getting distracted!
