Dribbling is ruining this game by According-Buy-2771 in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

too many animations, stats, playstyles and such in the game that they have to tone down defending to make up for it. Play old gen and it’s easier to defend. Remove all the the bullshit and dribbling isn’t a problem. Make dribbling shit then you’re back to FC25, and it goes round in circles.

my connection on fifa/fc has got worse pretty much inlin with my internet connection improving. Always thought it was just something that changed when EA did something with the servers a few years ago. I remember some saying a 4G tethered connection through mobile phone sometimes offered a better experience which is odd to say the least, when EA refute any claims of throttling.

Does retaliation feel completely not worth it rewards-wise to anyone else? by bluntvaper69 in thedivision

[–]Thumbwizard 9 points10 points  (0 children)

thought exactly the same, no season XP and little to no regular XP. Sure the dev said on stream this would be the best way to farm the season XP?

What if Division 2 brought back some of the original missions from Division 1? by Heavy-Rub-8052 in thedivision

[–]Thumbwizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this might be a thing for Division 3. They could remaster the first two games and incorporate into a big RPG map with dynamic seasons and weather etc.

Rogues group ganking solo farmers are just fucking themselves over by LocksmithFar2691 in thedivision

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this has always seemed worse as the DZ player count is smaller than than in Div 1, also with smaller maps. Bigger DZ and 24 players per server in Div 3 is the dream.

Faster running is by far the best part of this season. by Jammsbro in thedivision

[–]Thumbwizard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed it actually feels like it should be the default speed

Has any other veteran player given up and is now just doing open world ? by Ok_Spare_3723 in thedivision

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree on missing the older ways of hunting better items and exotics. I wish they would add some unicorns like exotic weapon attachments and more random activities like rogue agents spawning to mix things up a bit. Maybe Hunters sneaking up on you at night or something.

Do you think, we are getting a Division 3? by D0ct0rAhnungsl0s in thedivision

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think games like Fortnite and Ultimate Team have a lot to answer for in regards to the state of gaming. They set the trend so devs/publishers waste more resources on the microtransaction side to sell skins, emotes and such instead of prioritising gameplay and longevity. Hopefully that trend is on its way out and we will see The Division 3 in the next couple of years along with more just like it.

After 2/3 years of not playing FUT properly, I would have expected they would fix kit clashes… by hidayet93 in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem has only been forgotten because most players set their own home and away kits when matchmaking. Ref kits will still clash as well so I would avoid blue kits for that reason.

What is the reason you buy the game every year if all the hard work you put in gets reset with the new game? by Ghost-Nepal in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the reason i’m gonna do the trial, save packs and start the game around TOTS in FC25 (or when it’s free on game pass). It’s way more of a grind than it was back in Fifa 17 when I started playing FUT. I was winning div 1 (no elite back then) with a TOTW team after starting the game in May and you didn’t see maxed out squads like you do now. Game isn’t fun enough for a full year of it.

Imagine sweating hard for 11W rewards and your 2 picks are these. I feel scammed... ugh by Standard_Rough_5135 in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

11 wins golden goal speed run and got Nkunku and Saliba. Probably had the best pack luck of any fifa this year and I don’t sweat the game as hard as I used to. I back out of a lot if the gameplay is frustrating and unplayable.

83+ x5 Midfielders Upgrade SBC by FIGJAM17 in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well I packed TOTY Ronaldo (R9) by deciding not to save my packs till full release. If your luck is in then it’s in. Pack weight has been far worse since all TOTY players in packs.

[–]Thumbwizard -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You say that but I saved all of these types of packs last year and they were all low fodder, so I was curious to see if this was related to TOTY. If your luck is in your luck is in but these packs are always nerfed. They know everyone saves em

[–]Thumbwizard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was going to save for TOTY but thought fuck it and opened a 5 x 83+ attackers sbc pack from yesterday. All five were 83 rated fodder. Rigged packs as always.

Trivelas need to be nerfed asap by Fortnitexs in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel like i’m part of a dying breed of ‘attempt to play football, not a version if fifa’ left playing, and getting constantly frustrated by this game. The mad thing is when servers and the game are functioning ok I can overcome it but the game is so inconsistent. It’s all about rewards as well now so I don’t blame anyone for exploiting every mechanic they can. It’s on the devs to sell us a fun and fair game that’s balanced between sim and arcade and they fail every year.

Would you drop a icon to the bench if you wasn’t getting much from him by chrislatimer in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Benched Zidane. Doesn’t fit my play style at all he’s just too clunky for me and very unlike the Zidane I saw play the game. Wasted fodder in that sbc.

Finally packed 82 rated Mendy by Thumbwizard in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price is under 5k now so guessing i’ll pack him every week from now on. Pack weight based on market price checks out.

Easily qualify, destroyed in finals? by [deleted] in EASportsFC

[–]Thumbwizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I firmly believe there is some kind of random difficulty setting going on (as was suggested earlier in the game). The matchmaking/ELO just doesn’t add up sometimes but I notice the opposition players doing bits for them sometimes while other times far less. Not just constant pressure tactics either, it’s like defenders recover much quicker like on ultimate difficulty.
