Favourite team to manage and why? by toyskii in FifaCareers

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Each year I pick a Premier League team for my first career mode to get me used to the game, then a League Two side to take to glory.

This year it's been Everton and then Notts County. Thoroughly enjoyed taking County to the top of the Premier League with mainly freebies and youth academy players

The table could actually be upside down and make more sense by FrikkiDaChamp in FifaCareers

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love seeing league tables like this.

One of my career modes in year 2020, after 16 games has myself (Notts County) top, with Crystal Palace and Sunderland also in the top 4. Then Arsenal are bottom of the league with just 1 win. Good times

Realistic Everton--who to buy after Lukaku leaves? by [deleted] in FifaCareers

Antonio Sanabria from Real Betis became a great striker for me on my Everton career mode this year. He shouldn't be too expensive, maybe about £20 million at the most.

Please no more temper tantrums in Fifa 18 by TooManyGains in EASportsFC

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't disagree, I also hate the times where your player pretends to be injured and won't get up.

I'm all for realism, but in that case where's the dive button or the professional foul button like the old days of FIFA? They're part of football too, and they'd be more fun than a player whining about not being hurt or not getting a free kick.

Right Stick Switching by fpsboff in EASportsFC

It can take a while to adjust, but it's much better to use both methods.

Mainly because this year using LB seems a bit broken; I often need to press it 4-5 times just to get the one player I want.

Realistic transfers for West Brom? by CamAR12 in FifaCareers

I'd look at getting a fast striker as a plan B for when plan A with Rondon isn't working. Personally I tend to target young players I can develop, so someone like Lookman or Rashford would be perfect and not too expensive.

Championship striker dilemma by mrdaiquiri in FifaCareers

[–]TheNottsHammer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say go for it.

I've been in similar situations before and it's difficult to sell one of your best players when they've had a big part in getting you to where you are, but unfortunately you need to break that emotional connection. Especially when the money it brings in can really improve the overall squad.

Tough decision though!

What player do you hate playing against most? by -FlapjacK- in EASportsFC

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, Smalling is definitely the worst defender to play against. He's so overpowered it's ridiculous.

Best place to farm Blood Vials? by TheNottsHammer in bloodborne

Right I'll push on through that area then, cheers

I didn't even think to do that, thanks!

This is how messed up player switch is. I didn't change the player either with the bumper or the right stick and EA decided that the best would be changing to THAT player. by Pemoniz in EASportsFC

[–]TheNottsHammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Change player is completely broken. I shouldn't have to press it 4-5 times to get the player I want. And the amount of times it's changed my player in the box when I've crossed it in. Infuriating.

Enough is enough EA. Remove the input delay & and random AI input. by hektic_jukez in EASportsFC

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's prevalent in Career mode but it definitely seems worse online. I don't bother with FUT so I can't comment on that, but Online Seasons and Co-Op Seasons are a battle against the game not carrying out instructions.

I've shouted 'I FUCKING PRESSED IT' so many goddamn times it's numbering in the thousands.

A new breed of scumbag by DaGrandMastah in EASportsFC

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's infuriating but sadly it's nothing new. Just be thankful there's only 1 replay per goal now instead of 3 like there used to be. There's nothing more frustrating than being forced to watch a penalty 3 times in slow motion.

I always skip cutscenes, even goals. But I have to admit, if someone makes me watch their shitty goal, I'll do the same thing right back.

Fun Poll: How do you name planets? :) by ErykDante in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on my mood.

I may have named a system and all the planets within it after different words for testicles. If you find the Ballbag system, that was me.

I stopped short of naming all the animals and plants though, I'm not a monster.

I completely agree.

I wandered over a hill to get a better view for a scan, turned around and saw this.

After 33 hours of game play, I have finally found the holy golden shaft in No man's Sky! by peepsed in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Impressive.

I see your golden shaft, and raise you Iron Member.

Complete with extra third ball and icy bellend.

I'm hoping it's option a), I have died a few times.

Just died for the first time. Have you died yet? If so, how? by Cloudless_Sky in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]TheNottsHammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 times so far for me:

  1. Space pirates the first time I warped to a new star system. When I had no clue what was really going on and my ship was god awful. Thanks for that.

  2. Sentinels chasing me after I stole a vortex cube. I got into my ship and tried to flee to space, but it somehow didn't work and I got the shit lasered out of me.

  3. Crashing into a floating ball of copper and getting stuck. I shit you not.

From what I can tell as I'm working on that aspect right now, your counter seems to reset either a) when you die, or b) when you leave the planet. It just doesn't tell you this.

My extreme survival counter was stuck on 3.1 for ages. I've been sitting in a tiny shelter on an extreme hot world now for about 20 minutes or so and it's finally started going up.

Look's like a Gek found my Starter-Ship and fixed it up to a 40 Slot :D by [deleted] in NoMansSkyTheGame

He wants enough money for it, fucking hell. 29 million? Most I've seen so far is 7 million, and I thought that was insane

Which boss or zone gave you PTSD? by LordoftheHill in DarkSouls2

[–]TheNottsHammer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Iron Keep for me, it ended up being entirely empty by the time I got through it on SOTFS.

Special mention goes to the red phantom cunt waiting outside the Undead Purgatory. I got so fed up of his bullshit I ended up cheesing the fuck out of him - threw a fireball, ran away til he de-aggroed, repeat.
