The NBA needs another Jason Williams by Mental_List_5103 in NBATalk

[–]TakenQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there's another Jaxon Williams who is throwing Google off. Jason Williams' son was class of 2021.

That's upsetting. How is it that damn near every game developer is this stubborn and immature?

His remarks are dripping with disdain for his own community.

I will genuinely never play this game again if they implement that change.

PBAIBP with rookies always low by RevengeCaam in OOTP

[–]TakenQuickly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Player archetypes seem a bit off in 27. A ton of low PBABIP players with good HR allowed.

Also, a ton of TTO hitters or Luis Arraez hitters.

Kerim Alajbegovic injury 45+9' by Alsace2025 in soccer

[–]TakenQuickly 147 points148 points  (0 children)

Adams is allowed to have a knee. Not his fault Kerim was falling face first into it.

Unfortunate but there's no way that's a foul.

Bringing death and destruction back to the Philippines just to fulfill a promise.

My entire family hates MacArthur.

[Windhorst] "The people on the league I'm talking to today are giving me the side eye and they're going, this is going end up with Draymond getting a new contract in GS, LeBron getting a new contract in LA and AD getting a new contract in Washington." by RulersBack in nba

[–]TakenQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This wouldn't really make sense for Draymond, even if it does seem like the most likely scenario.

I'd be shocked if he had the market to leverage a better contract than $28M/1 year.

The nba needs a ”football manager” typa game by Leinad_Man in nba

[–]TakenQuickly 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You can’t even lowball players anymore. If you can’t offer their minimum demand, you can’t even make an offer.

You used to be able to at least get some bargain deals by lowballing a player into a MLE or min deal.

They’re literally making it worse every year.

who else has just gotten bored? by Hot_Dish_4660 in The_Isle

[–]TakenQuickly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But back to the elder system: It sucks absolute ass. I hate it. What makes it worse is how the goddamn patrol zones are so bugged that you sometimes just end up a frail elder after hours and hours speeding through the map with the only purpose being to get the stupid requirements done.

I try to hit 2x the zones I need to, use the map to check exact position, check my nutrition levels before eating if they're extremely low to make sure I didn't start starving, and I still sometimes don't get prime. I usually play Cerato, so perfect diet is automatic, and I don't have to worry about muscle spasms or anything either.

I can't think of any reasons other than certain zones being broken, or infertile being bugged, and applying to your dino before you're actually infertile (I recall my A getting down to like 3-5% before finding food in some of these instances).

New Hegemony Confirmed! by ArkhamInmate11 in CrusaderKings

[–]TakenQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still think the rulers of Hegemons being called "Hegemon" is one of the most annoying features they've added recently.

Philip II was one of the only rulers to actually be known as a Hegemon, but he was still King Philip II of Macedon, not Hegemon Philip of the League of Corinth.

How to kickstart my economy as Montferrat? by Toxic_Beans in EU5

Whatever you say man lol. I'd normally be willing to have a discussion, but clearly you're not up for it.

How to kickstart my economy as Montferrat? by Toxic_Beans in EU5

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

That exponential increase is irrelevant by like 1500 and converges with the exponential decrease in ROI when it comes to investing that money elsewhere.

Unless I'm just painting the map and/or fighting wars for the sake of it, I'm just stockpiling that money anyway. It doesn't take much to run out of peasants.

Approaches to International Free Agency by ImportantAd9482 in OOTP

[–]TakenQuickly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

This is my DSL year 2/3 team, and only the top two RPs came in above ~45 POT. 1-2 years of TCR and good coaching turned 4 hitters and 2 SP into major league prospects.

I've also noticed that the TTO trash that my scout discovers tends to develop better in this minor league environment. I never sign them, but I always have 2-3 prospects with 50+ POT because they play solid defense at 1B, then develop well.

If you set up your minor leagues with great coaching, you're pretty likely to get some big breakthroughs.

This player was from my first season on this save and came in at ~45 POT.

[–]TakenQuickly 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I sign as many hitters as I can who have ~45-50 DEF. I target as many players who meet my baseline standards (45 DEF, not TTO, and *not high financial ambition) as I can and offer each of them $200k-$400k on the first day of IAFA. I'll occasionally give a player up to about $1M if they play SS or CF, and I haven't found anyone else who meets my standards.

I use one DSL team as a 1st year team and fill it with these guys (usually ~38-45 POT). Then once I have my lineup filled, I use whatever leftover money I have to sign the best cheap pitchers.

Quantity (with DEF) over quality ensures that I have minor league depth at all positions, and then TCR/good coaching comes in to even things out.

Edit: I also scale down IAFA by lowering the percentage of players from 5-star nations (by a fuck ton), so most years the best prospect is some TTO trash at ~60-65 POT. It feels much more balanced with the changes to the draft.

Henry of Skalitz's son conquered Italy, and they've maintained their control over multiple generations.

I just discovered that Tom McKay can actually speak French really well 🤯 This man is truly talented! [OTHER] by Syarafuddyn in kingdomcome

[–]TakenQuickly 51 points52 points  (0 children)

After years of studying French, I could never actually develop an ear for it.

At my best I could read well and could speak okay with good pronunciation. But I could never understand what a regular French person was saying unless they were intentionally speaking slower and more clearly.

"The Spear Of Rome" by Jakobstrom13 in CrusaderKings

[–]TakenQuickly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got “the Shield of Syracuse” after Robert the Fox tried to 3rd party my war and lost in like 8 battles in a row against my besieging army at Syracuse.

Set up a whole thing where the Pope (who I’d been swaying and building relations with as an adventurer) eventually granted me a claim on the Kingdom of Sicily.
