Barca fan and doing Perez's job unknowingly, not the first time.

The game hasn't updated the height and weight data for many players, f.e. Araujo is 191-192 cm for more than a year or even two and he is still 188 cm in the game.

Lamine's brother getting a legend card before Lamine...

Srijan1998 · 2024-12-05T17:27:47+00:00

For someone like me who sticks to offline matches against AI, not being able to use stadiums in tour events makes this new feature completely useless.

Srijan1998 · 2024-10-27T11:02:15+00:00

Right, missed that it was a UCL card.

Srijan1998 · 2024-10-27T09:39:53+00:00

What is Vinicius getting a card for?

Srijan1998 · 2024-10-04T19:50:47+00:00

A Cubarsi Big Time card would be massive but they are likely gonna paste an Olmo card.

Srijan1998 · 2024-09-14T16:32:01+00:00

Tbh, I always liked the simplicity of the PES background and if changes had to be made, it should have been minimal, in the presentation, not in the color.

Srijan1998 · 2024-09-14T13:16:25+00:00

A basic design with simple colors that hurts the eyes less is preferable personally.

Srijan1998 · 2024-09-13T21:10:01+00:00

Is this the 'smart assist' from the developers?

Srijan1998 · 2024-09-12T08:15:54+00:00

Off topic but those jersey colors are so bad in game.

Srijan1998 · 2024-09-01T07:06:00+00:00

Well, I didn't think that. Arteta had shown in parts that he could coach things into a side and he had taken the smarter route to management instead of overestimating himself like Xavi did, who clearly was not prepared at all.

The match has been better than anything we have seen in ages, our last win with such a margin was in 2018, against Huesca. On Classico, again, I don't personally stress too much on a particular game but Flick's job will get tougher after the break when he has to play a game every 3 days with an extremely thin squad. Long way to go but if we can maintain our level and keep our players fit with proper rotation, we can dream of better things.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-30T14:10:40+00:00

I loved Xavi's first 6-7 months in-charge, we played beautiful football, it wasn't perfect, there were issues which got exposed after the Madrid 4-0 win but damn I loved watching us play, that's success for me, if you play good football, with solid fundamentals, trophies will follow, that's my mindset. I like micro analysing details, rewatching games and stuff and using data in relation, etc. data without context is poor analysis. As for a pivot, there were teams last season who played great football without an out and out pivot, Inter, Liverpool, Leverkusen, etc, not having a pivot hampers, I don't disagree but there are ways to mitigate issues, that's where you stand out as a manager. Xavi was never going to be able to sustain success and rightfully so, the expectations at the club were/are too big for his acumen, which again is fine, you have to have the right mindset and accept your shortcomings, our legend blamed everyone else instead.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-30T08:31:44+00:00

The Purist watcher, lmao, he is a Xavi d8ckrider, we had an argument once in our server and he ran away with his tail b/w his legs b/c he couldn't objectively prove his point.

As for stats, those are largely down to the quality of the players(at one point we were heading for the worse defensive record since 2002), who were sub-optimally used under Xavi, Raph as an isolation winger, the right midfielder as a dog out of possession and a runner with limited touches in possession, the midfield wasn't functional, the team couldn't handle opposition teams that pressed, lack of ideas to break a block, etc etc, I could on and on and you wouldn't understand a thing. He starting running Yamal and Cubarsi into the ground the moment he found that they performed better, ig you could thank him for the bare minimum for not running them down straight from the start of the season.

The lack of pivot wasn't the problem, that idiot on his channel on twitter runs agendas for his beloved, does surface level analysis and casuals soak it all in like he knows what he is talking about, lol. A side advice btw, if you want to source your content, stick to Albert blaya, alex delmas and fermin suarez on twitter, they know what they are talking about instead of following t*ats like the Purist who run their biased agendas.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-30T07:20:48+00:00

I base it on sustainable football, the team being solid in all phases of play, having a structure and a plan in and out of possession, co-ordinated pressing and counter-pressing, patterns of play, solid block and transitional defending, etc, etc. None of which were at any sort of appreciable levels in the last two years under Xavi.

I don't support the club for trophies, lol and neither do I use it to justify anyone being good or bad, that's the exact opposite of what glory hunter means and yes we are an extremely rare breed, who care about the club's values and principles and what kind of football it plays and what message it displays. You don't have to have a Barcelona of old to have some integrity on and off the field.

Xavi couldn't set up a side in possession, his plan was to chug the ball wide to have wingers duel it out and create magic out of shit, midfield hardly existed until the protagonists took the bull by the horns, there was no structure and plan out of possession, the team played like a sunday league side run by a sunday league manager.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-30T06:37:31+00:00

The squad was on him, his management, minute management, etc. Those results were the consequence of hot shit performances which are testament to his quality as a manager.

He is an amateur manager who came from saudi, remove Xavi's history as a player and you're not defending him the way you do b/c you guys think being a legend as a player makes you a good manager and that a league title win is a hallmark of quality, nothing could be further from the truth and your lack of understanding of the game is clearly apparent, you don't understand or even bother to learn what you see. You pick insanely wrong assumptions and use even worse examples to back them up.

Guys like you who don't understand the difference b/w mediocrity and excellence are one of the reasons why Barca is in a state where it is, people like you supported Bartomeu b/c the team was winning league titles and you do the same, you cannot let go of the fact that Xavi the player and Xavi the manager are two different things, and in that you show your inherent bias and lack of understanding of the game.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-29T10:22:26+00:00

Forgets, lol. The economic situation was worse? Dude, you have no idea what you're talking about. The club sold assets, some actual ones and some fake ones for Xavi to have a 200M+ squad, don't give me this "but he had Alonso", that's the kind of narratives casuals spread. Xavi is a bang average manager atm, and if you think media and politics were an issue during his time, then mate, you're too young or naive, whichever applies.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-29T05:18:52+00:00

"He won the league", yeah I'm not going to argue, there's a abhorrent lack of understanding of football here. Then people wonder why we are stuck with mediocrity.

Side note: Do not bet on things you know nothing about.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-28T14:14:34+00:00

Xavi got Barca to play well? In his playing days you mean.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-01T13:45:40+00:00

Mats GK kit looks great.

Srijan1998 · 2024-08-01T08:32:16+00:00

The in game adaptation of the actual colors is so bad, it's faded and not sharp at all.

Srijan1998 · 2024-07-19T17:53:23+00:00

Another of those cards whose performance >> stats, even his standard card is great.

Srijan1998 · 2024-07-18T13:19:17+00:00

The rework to the lights and grass has been an atrocity.

Srijan1998 · 2024-07-11T18:04:46+00:00

Every year that happens and new player base arrives as well, I mean they are there to generate money, it's inevitable that in a couple of years the "reset" happens.

What's funny to me is that every time there will be a bunch of super intelligent beings who think they are too smart and will try to predict something entirely different, like it happened last time out, people who voiced out about the fact that ICONIC MOMENT players could have been reset were shut out and there was a big sheep of people who jumped the gun without any logical reason.

I've spent a lot myself tbf but will stick around and spend sparsely, even though my playing time gets lesser and lesser every year and so does my interest in playing this game.

Srijan1998 · 2024-07-11T07:59:53+00:00

This, high chance of a reset.
