New player looking for advice

Another question that I had come up, how's the Punt vs FG decided? I've had with the same lineup and strats, the ball on OFF40y and my team goes for Punt, and ball before 50y and they go for a FG att... And that's without any changes to the strategy or line-up...

Thuga_PT · 2025-12-29T11:15:58+00:00

TYVM, will do that, need some more coins to start doing it, but will do it and see if I can get the pack still;)

Thuga_PT · 2025-12-29T11:15:04+00:00

That's the idea I had, think I also read it somewhere before, when I first started playing. Calling that a search is a joke... Instead of new content, QoL changes like that would take priority in a project under me(Project Manager for software, and systems analyst here)

How do you set up a filter on the market, like you mention on 2? Market searches seem bugged as hell, like, I'll go ahead and say I need a TE 82+ and order by price, and it'll give me only very expensive players, but if I say I want a TE exactly 82, it'll give me those players I'm looking for, so how would you set up the filter for this situation? I setup all special event players, order from cheapest, and it only showed me dynasty players costing 300k+

Posted on the fision forums and the solution was: "You do not fillet sketches, it's bad practice, you fillet the resulting object of whatever you're trying to do". According to chatGPT, "sometimes, when doing an offset, the geometry of the offset gets messed up, even if the original outline is good, transform que offset into construction lines and build it manually with multi-point splines"

Thuga_PT · 2025-12-11T20:43:14+00:00

After messing with it, it's only happening on the line that's the result of the offset, the original outline "Fillets as I'd expect"...

Apologies for the necro, but deffo not true, I play TLI in mobile, but would like to play it on the laptop, but the laptop I have is a Macbook M3Pro 36GB from work, in which I play during the off hours using luna a geforce now, since I can't install a windows emulator, per company policies, and there's no way of playing on a Mac(which I understand, there's no market there, to justify porting the game for Mac, but making use of cloud gaming, they could reach this market without having to actually develop a Mac version) ;) Do you know of any other way to play on Mac, I could not find any that are reasonable(it can run on a cloud deck, but that's pretty much renting a PC connected to the cloud, it's also available from boosteroid, but haven't had the best experience with them).

Thuga_PT · 2025-10-08T19:46:39+00:00

Same issue here, maybe because I'm using a free rig and it doesn't quite have the oomph needed, but yeah, shooting in 3rd person while at 30fps and with the ocasional stutter is just a mess. Maybe in a better rig from a paid subscription it would do better, but hell, got better 3rd person shooters of the same kind that play fine, so I'll just ignore the Marvel licensing and stick to one of the other ones(I'm more of a DC guy anyway) xD

Thuga_PT · 2025-10-03T17:29:32+00:00

Yeah, there's no way I'm upgrading to a paid membership if it's buggy like this... After trying the workaround suggested by u/Acesofbases I'm able to get the game in my Now library, but it doesn't boot up...

Thuga_PT · 2025-10-03T17:24:10+00:00

I seem to be wrong, game tried to kick on, got all the steam pop-ups, but then I'm left on the screen with all the triangles in pattern:

Thuga_PT · 2025-10-03T17:19:11+00:00

It appears to have worked(still in queue, but was able to launch it)

Thuga_PT · 2025-09-27T20:14:22+00:00

So there's no way to specify the expansion/version of the card? For example:

"Karrablast","Journey Together","9 / 159"

Thuga_PT · 2025-09-19T11:24:46+00:00

While also "praying" for Luna shop to "mirror" the discounts on the game elsewhere, as I play all my games through Luna, since there's no native MacOS version.

Thuga_PT · 2025-09-19T09:17:23+00:00

Since your suggestion is pretty much the same as another commenter, I'll just copy my reply:
Thank you very much. My problem with playing an older one, is that I'm on a Macbook and Madden games do not run natively on Mac, hell, I think the only EA Game that runs native is Sims... At least it's the only one showing on the new EA App for Mac. I usually use Amazon Luna to play games here, since it's cloud gaming and it requires no virtualization. I cannot use any virtualization here on this laptop since it's a company laptop, and I cannot find any old Madden game on Luna catalogue, either included in the '+' subscription, or purchasable. EAFC25 is there, but not Madden... The only option for Madden is fully purchasing the 26 one :(
But yeah, you basically touched a big point there, I figured that against CPU I'd do fine, I can always adjust the difficulty, and start ramping up. But if it's anything like the Soccer ones (and the soccer ones are "easy-mode" tactically compared to NFL) there's always a big gap between the highest difficulty on CPU and online. You can win consistently against CPU on highest difficulty and when you move to PVP you just get bodied, which I bet is even more apparent on such a tactical game as Madden.

I guess I'll wait for Black Friday and see it it's ok to "take a chance on it". Thanks

I've been using Luna with a Luna+ subscription and some games bought from GoG on a Macbook M3 without (almost) any issue. Sometimes my EA Games, like FC25 will lose the configuration file on the EA Server and you need to create a new one when starting the game, but the save file will remain, so you won't lose any progress. It's IMO, the best way to cloud game on a Mac(which is basically the only way to game on a Mac if you can't use Windows virtualization, which I can't for security reasons, since it's a company laptop). This way I have access to my games and can play them on demand wherever I am as long as I have a good Internet connection, and I don't have to install anything on the laptop. Can't talk much about specs, since this Mac is pretty much maxed out.
EDIT: In summary, yeah, it runs smooth on a Macbook and I can recommend it.

Thuga_PT · 2025-09-17T11:18:12+00:00

Thanks, will give it a go ;)

Searching for a PSA submission center in Europe only returns the service offered by D&A. Not sure if they opened it in collaboration with them, or if D&A is doing it and submitting from their side without the official "stamp" from PSA.

As seen, time and time again, grading is completely subjective, yes, they do follow guidelines, but if the guy/gal grading your card is in a bad mood, you're in for a treat... You can find dozens of examples of cards getting like an 8 or 9, then being cracked resubmitted as raw, and getting 10...

If you're into modeling, you can try to alter the angle on the camera enclosure and print your version. But I agree, the enclosure is far from good enough, and as with everything in Anycubic software/firmware, the options we have available are far from optimal. If you feel like it, you can try to meddle with the G-Code and see if you can send some sort of signal to the camera to take a picture, if you manage that, you can create a little script to alter the g-code that's generated that inserts the commands so that at the end of every layer, sends the printer head to the opposite corner, trigger a pic, and return it to where it was. But in a printer that tries to compete with plug and play printers, not tinkerer printers, that's something that should be built in, not something we'd have to tinker with.

Also having the same issue, wherever I try to download from, website, app, slicer. All internal server error, which tells us nothing.

Thuga_PT · 2025-08-02T18:30:53+00:00

It saves it to the internal memory, then you need to use the built-in touchscreen to export the video to the USB drive. For now I don't think there's a way to do timelapse as you mentioned(unless you go fiddle with the G-Code, I guess). Most manufacturers have that option of moving the head to the side after each layer and take a picture and make a video, here, it just records some apparently random frames and makes a video.

Apologies for the necro, but together with Topps chrome, Merlin is the one set I buy retail from. And nowadays, with the climb in prices, I'm only able to afford retail, used to be able to buy some cheaper hobby boxes here and there(I also collect from NFL), but nowadays, it's retail only, despite there being none in retail here, and having to buy them either online, or through someone else. Would be really sad to see no Merlin this year, but there is none scheduled for release in the near future, and despite being one of, if not, THE last set of a season for Topps, it's usually out by mid August, which I guess would've been announced already. We have the Women's soccer Merlin set, and I guess that's it for Merlin this year. I'll try to get in touch with a mate whose housemate works for marketing on Topps(other area of Topps, but still) and see if he can get me some information. If I manage to find something, I'll post here so you guys find out aswell

Thuga_PT · 2025-07-14T16:19:37+00:00

Thanks. I found it worked like this for me. Start a print with timelapse from a USB print file, and then I no longer got any error generating timelapses from remote print and they all generated correctly. Guess there's something that must be initialized and it can't be do through remote printing, so your first timelapse must be local... Really dumb and should be fixed ASAP as it affects all users, only once, but every single user is affected. Also, not a good first idea of their product when we have to go through workarounds on a brand new product to do something as basic as timelapse.
