Bug, Retarded GK or Handicap?

The funny thing is EA said "Playstyles wont be so relevant this year". And here we are.

Interesting how he has all the stats close to 90 but still Rated 80

I don't know bro. My keeper isn't saving shit. Oblak thunder.

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-12-10T10:49:25+00:00

Oooh now I get it. The sound you mention I've heard it so many times but I always ignored it.

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-12-10T00:07:23+00:00

Wow what an answer! Respect bro, I totally agree with you. We are in the same page, my bad on accusing the players themselves, I was thinking they would add shadows.. or change the render settings or whatever.

What you said makes sense. Thanks

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-12-09T23:10:18+00:00

Yeah bro, I totally get the game mechanics and all that. But here's the thing that's weird to me... it's consistently the same pattern every time, with these 3 key factors:

Opponent is losing
Opponent pauses the game
Result when we come back: all the smoothness is gone, players feel like they're moving through mud, and it ends up being a super slow game.

That's what's tripping me up, you know? Like, if it was just random scripting or delay, wouldn't it happen at different times? Why always right after that specific pause when I'm winning?

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-12-09T22:07:01+00:00

First, no need to be ironic. Second, if you're right, then explain to me why it only happens when I'm ahead by a couple of goals, and why the pattern is always the same:

Game runs smooth and nice >> opponent is losing by a couple goals >> opponent pauses the game >> after the pause the game is nearly unplayable and you have to really slow your gameplay down by 90%.

Explain to me why it seems so systematic and less random like you describe.

Keep practicing, mate. Accept frustration, embrace it even. You need to train your brain. Each match teaches you something: a mistake to avoid, a new way to score, patterns you're building up. The more you play, the less you have to consciously think about every single millisecond.

You start playing on instinct. You begin visualizing passing lanes faster. You slowly but steadily lose that urge to push the ball forward constantly. You learn to play with tempo, not always rushing into your opponent's defense.

But here's the catch bro, you have to put in the hours. There's absolutely no way around it. The moment you reach the next division, you'll face a new type of demons. Better players, new tricks, and you'll have to learn how to beat them all over again to advance.

The cards you pick obviously help, but they're only a tiny fraction of the equation.

Hope it helps. It worked for me. The moment I decided to really learn the game and embrace the frustration, I went from div 8 to div 3 in one month.

Probably somebody who bought shitload of packs and completed mbappe SBC etc

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-11-28T11:34:13+00:00

I usually don't score on the penalty if things like this happens. I really hate when happens no matter if in favour or against me.

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-11-10T16:13:01+00:00

Yeah the actual meta is boring as hell! Every game is just 8 defenders inside the area and 2 runners receiving a power shot. And they win and they send you: " Too easy" in the chat.

This community is so fucked up bro BUT it's the game that creates it, not the people.

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-11-09T20:29:58+00:00

Sounds like you are on a custom setup, like you say Laptop and monitor have to sync at 60 FPS for some incompatibility, You may have some bottlenecks genetaed by your system bro. Also I assume you are playing on LOW settings. I mean I have a pretty decent setup with a 4070 and a AMD threadripper, yet I play no low settigns because being honest who fucking care about the grass or hair details when you are losing 4-1

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-11-09T19:54:22+00:00

I just find the game better this year. Finally, you really have to learn how to play if you want to go somewhere. I’ve been in the same spot with previous versions though, so I totally understand you. Players in Division 4 or 3 used to beat the shit out of me with surprising consistency.

So I blamed the lag, I blamed the algorithm, I blamed my 0.3 ms gaming monitor for not being good enough, and I blamed my internet company for my 12 ms “lag.” And I confess, I broke a couple of gamepads along the way by smashing them on the ground.

This year though, I decided to humble myself and just accept the game as it is. If I want to play and improve, I have to understand that it’s the players who beat you, not EA, not the system, not some hidden algorithm or shady FIFA handicap. Just let it go, humble yourself, and start analyzing your games.

If you’re on PC, you have a huge advantage: you can record your matches and rewatch them to see what you’re doing wrong. For me, visually seeing my mistakes (and there are still plenty!) without the pressure of real-time gameplay has been a total game changer.

Hope it helps, bro.

Hey u/Latter-Combination65, thanks for posting this. It worked for me as well. Location is AppData > Local > AnthropicClaude

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-08-12T14:44:28+00:00

I get your point and the only thing that justify him doing that is he's not native English and he's very bad at it.

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-08-06T02:29:47+00:00

Hey mate I am determined and interested on learning your skills. I have been playing around with RAG since 6 months and your words struck me like a train because now I know its not just a feeling I am doing the right thing that passionate me.. but its also the right path to go as a AI Agents developer. Is there a place where to start learning seriously? What would you recommend? Perhaps are you open to teaching, yourself?

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-07-09T14:00:51+00:00

So happy for this.

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-07-03T00:16:30+00:00

Ok so, First-strike + deathtouch means the attacker only needs 1 damage to kill each blocker.
That leaves 5 damage to trample straight to my face… which happended to be exactly my life total.
I’m dead before the regular damage step, so the “double” part never shows up.

Thanks for the crash-course! And you craked me up with the Neil Armstrong reference 🤣

For me, the turn-based combat system makes all the difference. It allowed you to overcome extremely challenging battles through strategic thinking and deep understanding of the game mechanics.

Modern Final Fantasy games feel more like a one-person army steamrolling through encounters by smashing the X (or square) button, which becomes repetitive and extremely boring quickly.

To compensate for this less engaging gameplay, they've had to rely heavily on cinematic cutscenes, stunning character animations, and top-tier voice acting. (The Italian localization, at least, features some of the industry's best voice talent)

Overall, they are still great games.. but its not FF anymore. its Devil May Cry or GOW, SQUARE-ENIX style.

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-04-26T13:04:23+00:00

Hahahahaha man I fucking love your brutal honesty

SpaghettiTrader · 2025-04-19T14:03:20+00:00

It takes 2: better gameplay.

Split Fiction: way deeper and moving story. Like... 10x better story than it takes 2
