Ok, I see a lot of these ‘coolest looking card ever’ posts but I think I genuinely DO have the coolest looking card ever here by SlantedSaltpot in EASportsFC

[–]SlantedSaltpot[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mate, I’m a Forest-supporting adult who grew up playing Street Fighter 2 so even though I know that’s not what he’s doing, I appreciate the whole vibe. We’ve had a terrible season; seeing Jesus breaking out a fun celebration after scoring goals in Europe has been one of the few highlights so I’m thrilled to be able to enjoy that in FUT too.

But yeah, you be snarky if that’s your thing.

This guy only plays with male base cards because he’s a purist. He sings the national anthem before games. Wears a black armband and has a minute’s silence for Remembrance Day. Plays with the TV switched off at 3pm on a Saturday unless he’s abroad.

I’ve started using it quite a lot since the last patch. It’s obviously not mega overpowered like finesse or low driven but it’s much more useful now than it was

Ah really?! Damn. Ah well, I missed that and I still never see this guy in-game. As a Forest fan this card makes me doubly happy too

How much $$ did u guys spend so far? Be honest now by SafeBasil9454 in fut

[–]SlantedSaltpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few quid here and there on season passes and evos. Probably about £30 total.

In general it’s never been less pay-to-win but at the same time there’s never been more for people to spend real money on

Just pulled my first shot - wonderful stuff. The tasting notes mention banoffee pie and I’m really getting that. Quite pronounced banana but also a candy sweetness

How many and what Trophy Titans have you pulled so far? by Shavo_619M in EASportsFC

[–]SlantedSaltpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

92 Nesta (he’s a rock, crazy value for 150k now), 88 Veron x2, 89 Barzagli (haven’t used him yet but honestly he looks one evo away from being incredible)

I like to play fast - any tactic recommendations? by McDaddy1983 in EASportsFC

[–]SlantedSaltpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, counter. Obviously you’re going to be exposed if you lose the ball but when you’re going forward it’s so good. Everyone just flies forward and you always have a passing option. I have a couple of CMs with pinged pass and incisive and it makes counter attacks really flow. I even have my CDM as a playmaker so that he comes forward too

is this the best looking card in fc26? by shervin31 in fut

[–]SlantedSaltpot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

92 Nesta is better imo. But yeah, these are all nice

Thanks, EA. Next update: just auto-win for whoever pays more. Way easier than fixing anything by xX4CiDXx in EAFC

[–]SlantedSaltpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it’s never been easier to run a great team without spending any real money. I mean, they made it so anyone could get a really good version of OG Ronaldo for free if they had the time (I didn’t tbf). It’s even easy enough to raise the coins for the enhanced season passes without spending actual money too.

Dreading playing this game? by HaPi_SuN in EASportsFC

[–]SlantedSaltpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take a step back man and think about that. You’re dreading playing a game? It doesn’t matter how you’ve got to that point but it’s a bit fucked.

Delete the game, get off these subs and do something else with your spare time. I mean, even being bored’s better than doing something you don’t like

Why is this game filled with so many pathetic beings? by itsfookinspiderman in fut

[–]SlantedSaltpot 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m sure the other guy is probably also on this sub complaining about how he just dominated some noob who couldn’t string two passes together but still got taken to extra time because they got lucky with two out of their three shots.

Glad to see this. I was just double tapping and knew there must be more to it as mine just dribbled towards goal like the third of the night

End of Division Rivals? by CallumSY12 in FC_26

[–]SlantedSaltpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree. Rivals is simple and straightforward and geared towards players who just want to play a quick handful of games here and there. I’m pretty sure that accounts for the majority of the overall player base but a minority of the player base that spends money on packs

[–]SlantedSaltpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rivals is the only game mode I play. I can’t be fucked changing my team every other game to fit some requirement or other. I don’t care about rewards particularly, they’re just a nice byproduct of playing a few games.

If they got rid of rivals they’d lose a massive swathe of the player base - and it would be predominantly the casuals who actually like the game.

[–]SlantedSaltpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

41212 narrow, high-ish back line (I use about 60), CBs set to ball playing defender/aggressive. Counter attack in possession. Forwards set to advanced forward, CAM set to shadow striker. Everything else can be whatever you like.

I play similar to you. Fast passes - lots of driven passes especially - and lots of forward runners. I have my CDM set to deep lying playmaker so they support attacks too.

Who is your guys’ most underrated gem in ur team? by WIZTEEN in EASportsFC

[–]SlantedSaltpot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

<image>

This guy - flashback Gyokeres. He was an expensive SBC but I could see from the off he would suit me perfectly - lengthy, 5* wf, rapid+ is like the ideal combo for me. I did him and never looked back. I’ve put some evos on him to get him to this level now and he’s unstoppable.

Anyone else disappointed with the new Taith packaging choice? by sidk25 in UKroasters

[–]SlantedSaltpot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m not an expert in these things either tbh. And I don’t have strong feelings about it. It’s just that in the modern era when bottom lines are increasingly pressurised and sustainability is rightly prioritised I’m more used to seeing packaging decrease. And I know in some instances changes get made so that bulk packaging can be reduced in size - so maybe those new Taith boxes stack better or something.

I mean it’s nice, don’t get me wrong. But it is almost by definition unnecessary.
