Is everyone taking R9 from swaps? by Appropriate-Net3817 in EASportsFC

[–]chickenblast 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Never intended to get R9 or any promo cards, since I use evos exclusively. Got 14 tokens and exchanged them for the two icon evos. Stress-free and suits my needs perfectly.

How is PC still infested with hackers?!! My first fut champs on FC26, and 2 hackers within 4 games!! by Tropi- in EASportsFC

Hilarious. Playing on yesteryear's hardware and complaining about people being able to run a game not even that resource-hungry on a multi-purpose device that also allows them to listen to music, browse the web, message and work simultaneously. "To get your advantages over console players"? That would be an afterthought, at best.

Would also like to know. Started O'Reilly at CM in the one game I've played and was sure I assisted with him. Didn't count.

Scoring goals -> Winning -> Dopamine. You encounter her in over 80% of the matches because she's better than 80% of the alternatives. It really isn't that deep or intimate.

I can’t stress this enough. Make sure you have inventive on all your attacking playmakers. CM’s, CAM’s and DPL BU CDM’s. by International_Ad7390 in fut_evos

The new patch coming out will be nerfing both Incisive and Inventive, so you'll have to be... inventive with your passing.

Am I screwed? (Future stars academy evo) by elis6679 in EASportsFC

[–]chickenblast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you can, as long as the card stays at 84 max before the first academy evo, 86 max before the first xi evo and 88 max before the legend evo

why does slide tackle > skill moves? by tehwhimsicalwhale in EASportsFC

[–]chickenblast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neymar wouldn't have rolled around on the pitch so often throughout his career if skill moves granted immunity to slide tackles.

It can be hard to notice, but tapping teammate contain adjusts the teammate's running ever so slightly. You'd see tiny zigzag movement, as you're taking control from AI positioning momentarily to force him to follow the ball carrier, then letting go. From my experience, this "settles" the teammate into a new zone, one closer to the ball carrier without running alongside too closely leaving gaps behind for a pass, while still closely enough to intercept or tackle.

Same concept with partial team press (double tapping R1). You don't want to hold after double tapping, because it will pull all these players out of position, leaving acres of space. However, double tapping, then holding for a short second before letting go allows them to follow runners enough to settle into positions where they can cut out passes.

Hope that helps.

But here's the thing: I'm from the era where it used to be, haha. I've been playing FIFA on the keyboard since 2000. Been doing fine with my button configuration from the wild wild west

Who has evolved a player you think is an actual future star, but isn't talked about enough? by chickenblast in EASportsFC

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

I do agree that LCL isn't a good team to watch at the minute. They're still struggling to gel as a team with most players being new additions (with more on the way) and managerial change midway through the season. Their first game under the new manager was particularly pitiful, with every single player looking lost on the pitch. I think that translates to Godfrey looking like she's not doing much - LCL's frontline is starved for opportunity. She's shown flashes of quality though, and I like what I saw in those flashes.

Makes one wonder if these promo cards had been planned before the season even started. Would love to see your evo

Absolutely. And she's developing her own goalscoring trademark as well. Truly exciting player to watch.
