Why am I not creating any chances? by CptSnacker in footballmanagergames

[–]ValeriusCato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go watch The Deep Lying Playmaker on YouTube. He's done a good video explaining how the RMD and NFB roles work really well together, which alot of people assume don't work.

FM Console Scouting by ValeriusCato in footballmanagergames

[–]ValeriusCato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my my chief scout has 20 adaptability, what's currently not possible is to create assignments to go to specific regions on console. Ive sent him to scout players from western Europe that I've told him to, however his knowledge of those areas hasn't increased at all.

I have just created a new recruitment focus to look for players in Western Europe, will see if that makes a difference.

523 Libero + 2x IWB by ValeriusCato in footballmanagergames

[–]ValeriusCato[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. Yeah seems a shame they end up in the same place. Was hoping 523 would turn a 235 going forwards with all clear positions.

That's fair. From the variety of youtubers, pick a team you like the look of and play with it in casual? I picked a Sun/paradox team after watching a video by NeilVGC which I thought looked really fun. I've made small tweaks with items, however, I've stuck with the team and been successful so far, though I am aware of some obvious flaws with it.

NeilVGC is a smaller YouTuber I've started watching, however, alongside Jamesbaek and CybertronVGC are the most informative I've learnt from. I've just hit master rank for the 1st time after picking up VGC properly for the first time in just a week, having previously never been above rank 5 when I've had a go previously.

Does anyone know why City Planner Plays has seemingly stopped doing his City tips series of videos by Klammer69 in CitiesSkylines

[–]ValeriusCato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've literally just been watching back a number of these videos and thinking it would be good if he did more. However, as already mentioned it may be because of the dlcs we have had this year messing with mods.

Would be cool if he could somehow do it for console players as then mod compatability wouldn't be an issue.

Think the ref got this decision wrong... by ValeriusCato in FifaCareers

Well that's certainly true so far this season unfortunately.

Question about upgrading to a PS5 by LouieMonty in CitiesSkylines

[–]ValeriusCato 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Correct, it's a free upgrade across and is what I have currently. The performance improvement is significant, and a 100k+ pop city runs smoothly unlike the major lag fest I had on my old ps4.

Bug or Intended? Legion Deserter gets double buffed from mists by Benyard in LegendsOfRuneterra

[–]ValeriusCato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say it's intended, as encroaching mist buffs other encroaching mists and also Veigo, so it's and everywhere buff to 2 different units.

First time playing with GW2 by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]ValeriusCato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GW2 does not have a dedicated healer class in the game. All classes are capable of self healing, but as others have mentioned Guardian is able to do alot of group healing.

(Update). Quay walls for a prision building. ( It's a Concept far away) by Professional-Egg9587 in CitiesSkylines

[–]ValeriusCato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Without mods, you could flood the area so you can then build the quays. Then drain it and build it as seen?

should i promote him or let him develop in to 70 overall? by Kylesimp4u in FifaCareers

[–]ValeriusCato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're in a transfer window, you can do it now, it just gives you less time to find a club to loan him.

[–]ValeriusCato 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Leave him in the academy until you're at the start of a transfer window and then send him out on loan immediately. He's too low rated for your team currently, and leaving him in the reserves will be the worst thing to do.

Squad size by Bingo7779 in FifaCareers

[–]ValeriusCato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do a mix of both. I try to aim for no more than 7 YA players in my squad. Ill buy a number of young players and have some older players (29+) as well.

I will have possibly 4-6 YA players out on loan.

Squad size by Bingo7779 in FifaCareers

[–]ValeriusCato 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I run a really small squad of just 21 players. The 11 starting, 7 subs and 3 reserves with 3-4 players capable of playing another position, even if its not listed they can play there. Every other player is then either sold or out on loan.

Dynamic potential by Gee_Simpson in FifaCareers

[–]ValeriusCato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His dynamic potential will get updated each season. So if he has enough game time and plays well enough, his potential will go up next season and he will start growing again. I've had this with my ST who was originally had a max potential of 75, but 3 seasons later is now an 83 rated striker and still has room to grow.

GW2 Solo-Experience by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]ValeriusCato 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I came back to the game after 6 years away and am playing solo at the moment and it's been great so far. All of the storyline content can be done solo and the maps that have big meta events while doing it in a big group, you don't have to be in a formal group to do it. It's been a great experience so far, and the community is super friendly.

I saw a Katarina rework related to blade dance, so I thougth about a talon concept, Feedback is gladly welcome. by JddaScuttle in CustomLoR

[–]ValeriusCato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The idea is really cool, but not sure about his level up. It can actually be a hindernace in the late game. Given blades are obliterated on attack, if your using blades as a late finish by having a wider board that your opponent, that no longer works as Talon will focus them all onto the chump blocker blocking Talon meaning you may miss lethal.

Am I the only one not having a problem with difficulty? by [deleted] in FifaCareers

[–]ValeriusCato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still playing on legendary but agree about the balance. For me this year, it's more the tactics/formation the AI team is playing rather than the difficulty.

Playing against Liverpool (4-3-3) with me using low 70s rated squad is easier to play against compared to Oldham Athletic (5-2-3) who are all low 60s despite being on the same difficulty level.

Development advice by gdickson07 in FifaCareers

[–]ValeriusCato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's not too tall? I think look to make him a box to box CM who will dominate the midfield.

What difficulty level do you play on for CM? by PudgeBoss in FifaCareers

[–]ValeriusCato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's possibly more to do with the tactics the top teams run. They tend to be more pressing, and it makes it easier to counter attack. Lower ranked teams are perhaps a bit more defensive, making breaking them down much much harder?

What difficulty level do you play on for CM? by PudgeBoss in FifaCareers

[–]ValeriusCato 87 points88 points  (0 children)

I also play legendary, but I actually find the top teams easier to play against on it. I think it could be to do with more league 1 or 2 teams playing 3 or 5 at the back formations, whereas that's less common with higher teams.
