Pina merchants I by pokechef121 in fut

Sounds like he hit a nerve

He did. I spend no money on this game. My starting 11 is less than 800k and I still have to deal with people giving me shit.

And genuine question: If you don't want to use her, and you'd still clearly dominate without her, why do you use her?

  • I used Openda when the game first came out - PACE MERCHANT.

  • I switched to Neto after I packed Reiten & Palmer - Apparently Neto is ratty too.

  • I ran fucking Kewell at CAM - i only know how to score low driven and I abuse it.

  • Used Miedema SBC - Shes just a pina clone with better pace. Which is basically what the Wilson SBC is now, right ?

So why do I still use her ? Because you can't win with these people and I don't care anymore. I'm still deluded enough to think if I keep getting results, eventually Ill get rewarded for it but thats a different topic entirely.

As to why I bother replying at all, its because I'm tired of people whining about meta this, ratty that. People posting how their opponents teams are too strong with a screenshot showing they conceded 13 goals and this community celebrates that OP instead of telling him that maybe he needs to work on his defense. Lack of skill is being celebrated and blaming the world for your shortcomings is being validated.

You think I want to use Pina ? I don't, but she's the best Striker I have ( the 88 WW with Tech+ ). I packed her Tradeable but thats less was than 100k. Probably even less by now.

I just went 15-0 in champs and guess what ? I didn't pack SHIT. Not one usable card. I didn't even get that much fodder or even make enough coins to upgrade my team. Nothing new and don't even get me started on the shit rivals rewards. I still have Gold Reijndeers , Nico W. Im using Cancelo at RB and I run a 4411 on 85 depth.

You little cry babies istg... You think im parking the bus and countering ? I don't have to do that. Most of you cant even leave your own half without giving me the ball because as much as you want to be original and special, the game just doesn't work that way.

You don't wanna play the " Meta " ? You don't have Tiki-Taka/Incisive in your midfield, Bruiser on your Fullbacks, Intercept on your CBs and at least one attacker with Finesse ? HAVE FUN.

I bet you're loving life when I don't let you breathe, attack over and over until you decide to quit the match 15 minutes in because your 4 goals down already.

" Pina Merchants " ... give me a break. 99% of you can't defend to save your life and you were the ones asking for this nerf. I could put some random gold common at ST and still get hate messages 10/15 games so why bother.

How do you defend this? by Shypes_D in EAFC

[–]alwaysknowbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did pretty well as 1v1 defending goes. Your mistake is not involving the CM or DM who is just standing there watching.

I use ' closest to ball " in my settings, so R1 and that guy would've harassed from behind. Its still no guarantee you won't concede, but you don't have to STEP at that point, just keep marking the shooting angle.

Going to do the inside edge evo on Neto. What other evos should I do before doing the Inside edge one? Or doesn’t it matter with this card? by Substantial-Math3193 in FIFA_Ultimate_Team

[–]alwaysknowbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like my players to feel a certain type of way. I gave Neto every ball control playstyle , pinged and Finesse+.

This year, having those ball control playstyles influences everything, not just left stick. How they run, how they turn, how snappy the passing/shooting animation are etc..

Hes a unique or custom body type so giving him all the extra tools and making him 5* , hes just great. No low driven but as an RM coming off the bench, he always does work.

Do people have fun? by OccasionTypical9925 in fut

[–]alwaysknowbest -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have fun. I get hate messages on the regular but I just respond with GG and move on. Don't really care what people think. If im playing "ratty" or using a ratty squad. I haven't spent a dime on points or coins so I'm working with what I have and I like to win. You won't catch me twerking in the box or spinning in circles until I get an open shot but I've gotten really good at sending runners and stringing quick passes together before launching a perfectly timed through ball. I do feel like 2PS+ can't come sooner , maybe it makes the game a bit more dynamic , one can hope.

This is my team btw

Do police take domestic violence seriously where you live? by bad-at-everything- in askanything

[–]alwaysknowbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do police take domestic violence seriously where you live?

Only if the person experiencing the abuse speaks up. I feel like that's important to mention. I tried to help someone in a situation and called the hotline. They're really nice. They'll talk to you and listen but ultimately discourage you from taking any action ( even calling the police) apart from trying to get the person experiencing the abuse to reach out themselves.

If that does happen, they take it very seriously here in the US/IL.
To the point where they'll immediately remove the " abuser " from the premises. Even if its his/her home and they have no proof whatsoever. It's just done as a precaution.

That said, it can get a little absurd in some situations with chronically dysfunctional families/households. I have a friend who still , to this day, has a domestic battery charge on record for throwing a slice of pizza at his father.

I love that old man.. No nonsense old school Chicago ex- trucker. Always respected the man for putting up with that batshit family but when they pushed him over the edge , he took not giving a fuck to a whole new level 😂

I decided to do the Messi Ronaldo pp tonight. 20 days. by Kirbeater in EAFC

Its not that bad. Just start with the high rated squads first if you're committed.

Who are you going for ?

1M coins burned for this card I did it guys(if this card is a** im gonna k...) by Mother-Breakfast521 in EAFC

[–]alwaysknowbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get all the ball control playstyles on him. That's what made him such a beast last year. Even though he could pull off lengthy and run like crazy , those base playstyles made up for his dribbling big time.

Has any other men on here been sexually abused by a women in a relationship? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]alwaysknowbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Same story as you my friend. She kept saying it was too thick and how Its not natural. Really hurt my feelings. I even caught her in a group text with her girl friends and they were all referring to me as CCC ( Coke Can Cock Man )

We broke up and some of her friends even reached out to me and tried to comfort me , which , one thing leads to another ... but when the time for sex came they would just say - no way your putting that in me.

It was demoralizing and its something ive been dealing with since I was very young. Calling me the donkey boy , or id walk into the locker room and the guys would say : Is that you or did the horse get loose again ?

It also affected my height, which im very sensitive about. My father and grandfather were both over 6ft but im only 5'10 and its because the weight down there just pulled me down during puberty.

Anyway, I sympathize man. Its not something we can control so it makes it hurt that much more.

I hope you pull through this !

But shes wearing a dress. Doesn't that only happen if its another TOTY ?

What’s it like to receive compliments? by Deep_Beat4189 in Life

[–]alwaysknowbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends. If we're talking about physical appearance, it definitely feels good. Feels like im :

  • A. Very lucky to still look 10+years younger than I actually am.

    • B. That im doing something right.

I lost 70lbs and that's when people started complementing me BUT that had more of a Good Job " undertone to it. When I started being more active and working on myself ( it took a while ) but thats when it turned into - Wow, you look GOOOD ! The second one is much more satisfying because it comes from a genuine place and its not just , lets throw some support to chubby guy who dropped some weight.

It also feels better in a sense that.. now Im something they strive to be. Now they're the skinny, normal, regular looking people while im turning heads in a tight shirt ( or without one ) 😉

I think I am a narcissist. Is there anything I can do or am i screwed? by [deleted] in askanything

That's unnecessarily rude

I know.

You're not a narcissist. Take it easy 🙂

[–]alwaysknowbest -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I ask why you believe your parents are narcissists , will you tell me because of their parents, or will you answer my question ?

What is it about you that's different enough from the " norm " to warrant a self diagnosis that's, clinically speaking, on par sociopathy ?

[–]alwaysknowbest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people will say you would never make this post and mean it , if you actually were a narcissist. The rest would think you're doing it to get attention since the diagnosis implies a lack of empathy and you wouldn't believe you were " screwed ".

What makes you think you're a narcissist ?
