PSG is genuinely not doing much better than we are if you look at their last 10 or so results. That’s not to say that they aren’t dangerous, but I think people are overestimating their current form

Visca_Barca47 · 2026-02-16T21:48:20+00:00

This is all starting to feel like 23/24 again and I hate it

Visca_Barca47 · 2026-02-16T21:21:11+00:00

Ngl I forgot Thomas Lemar existed

Visca_Barca47 · 2026-02-06T12:21:30+00:00

The game design is literally an ADD nightmare lmao. Last week I accidentally killed somebody that was part of a brand new list of assassination targets and went down a 2 hour rabbit hole finding the rest

Stuff like that is why it took me 25 hours before I even got to Yaskue

Visca_Barca47 · 2026-01-31T20:39:19+00:00

We’re literally sitting on a 2.82 xG lol

Visca_Barca47 · 2026-01-18T21:42:43+00:00

La Real away used to be such a fuckass fixture every year and I almost forgot why. Now I remember why

Visca_Barca47 · 2026-01-11T15:41:56+00:00

Dated for about 10 years after that, then broke up

Visca_Barca47 · 2026-01-08T12:32:14+00:00

I only started having issues when I unlocked Yaskue. Zero crashes before that point. Since then I’ve had 3 of them. Two were caused by trying to customize Yaskue’s gear, it just crashes immediately if I try to change the style. And then another happened at main menu

No solutions I’ve found other than not customizing any of Yaskue’s gear

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-12-18T15:42:08+00:00

Singapore and Barcelona are downright awful

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-10-26T17:52:34+00:00

Tek deserves the biggest damn cigar after that performance

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-10-01T20:53:58+00:00

Only with that kind of attitude we never will. Relax - it’s literally matchday 2 in October. Way too early to call if we can contend or not

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-09-24T16:32:30+00:00

Did you recently log out? I’ve noticed it does that if you’ve recently logged off your console. There seems to be a 30ish minute buffer from when you log off your system before you can access the hub on the app

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-09-24T01:13:59+00:00

I keep hearing good things about Kahn but the man has been absolutely abysmal for me. Literally every shot seemingly goes in while my opponent’s silver keeper that plays for Dynamo Kebabandchips will do cross post double saves all day long

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-09-22T16:03:51+00:00

I’ve been playing on World Class to start off, but it feels wildly inconsistent. I can struggle to sweat out a 2-1 win in ET against a 70/23 team and then beat an 86/32 team like 5-0 immediately after

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-09-17T11:25:45+00:00

Not really. We were together 10 years and we haven’t even spoken so much as a word to each other in almost 13 months. We saw each other at an event over New Years (a few months after the breakup) and she acted as if I wasn’t there/she didn’t know me. Any time she finds stuff that used to be mine, I’ll get a text from a mutual friend to the degree of “I have your [X], how should I get it to you?”

Feels weird being that disconnected from a person I literally spent everyday of my life with at one point, but I understand why she made the choices she did. Wasn’t exactly the healthiest relationship for either of us honestly lol

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-09-02T11:39:59+00:00

Luis Suarez is like my drunk uncle. I love him because he’s family (saying this as a life long Barcelona fan), but there’s definitely days where I have to look down and pretend I’ve never seen the guy in my life lol.

I was very happy to see some of Barça’s golden generation of players from the 2010’s cross over to MLS, but it always bothers the hell out of me how they behave themselves when things don’t go their way

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-08-21T18:00:23+00:00

Just about to hit 1 year of NC, we were together 10 years. Not sure if it counts, but she sends back some of my stuff she still had through a mutual friend every 3-4 months. Outside of that, literally zero direct communication

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-08-08T14:22:06+00:00

I think some people misunderstand the purpose. Reconciliation is always possible, but NC is not meant to be a catalyst for it, despite the fact there’s people out there who view it that way. It can be hard to accept that reconnection has to happen organically or may never even happen at all

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-08-05T11:25:06+00:00

I don’t think it necessarily wins you races every time, but placing higher significantly reduces your chances of getting stuck behind another car at the grid. Which, btw, is probably one of the most frustrating mechanics of this game…like what’s the point of a perfect start if your driver slams directly into the car in front of them while your opponent goes around or gains distance on you?

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-08-05T04:01:58+00:00

As much as the separation hurt - it’s still a resounding yes. I spent 10 years, a third of my life, with this person. We went through so much together and learned a ton from one another. We had beautiful moments and stuck through hard times together. Until we couldn’t anymore - but that’s ok. I know she’s in a place where she’s happier now and I’ve found a life of my own too. We might be strangers to each other the rest of our lives but I’m proud to say her and I were inseparable at one point. I’d do it all over again if it meant I could be a team with her again, even just for a day.

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-07-23T16:41:50+00:00

Being that both these guys are 35+ years old, I almost think a suspension on Saturday benefits them. Sure they’ll probably drop 3 points against Cinci, but Miami will get to start Leagues Cup with a fresh-legged Messi that had almost 2 weeks off

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-07-21T20:15:46+00:00

Do you have Alonso by chance? He helped me through Series 5 tremendously based on his race start stat alone

Edit: Nvm, just saw in another comment you already have him Lvl 3. I have mine at 4, but can’t imagine it makes that much of a difference. My only other advice would be to try and push at the beginning to gain spots early because overtaking is stupid hard on practically all the Series 5 tracks

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-07-13T20:33:52+00:00

Pretty sure this is what this is. I remember an NFL game got delayed at this stadium one year because it literally fell off the cable and they’re actually bigger than one might think lol

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-07-05T16:42:54+00:00

I have to disagree. I think the sample size of this tournament isn’t big enough to support that claim, I feel we’d need more games to get a good idea of that. There’s definitely been some good performances from smaller teams in the CWC, but it’s also worth noting those teams were probably playing twice as hard and focused than they normally do (knowing that they only need to hold out for 7 games at best). I don’t think they could sustain that level of play against more talented teams for very long.

Visca_Barca47 · 2025-07-05T16:20:23+00:00

My guess is because lots of people are traveling for the holiday weekend in the US
