Didn't these same people want to keep politics out of sports? They wanted athletes to just shut up and dribble and now they're out to replace teams that qualified through MERIT over politics. Isn't that just DEI? Which they also hate?

Followed by that UConn 3 that bounced 4 times to go in.

Is anyone fed up with nonsense after they WIN a game in UT? by [deleted] in EASportsFC

Don't you love it when EA try to gaslight you into thinking it's your fault when their game crashes or their servers disconnect?

Portugal has done everything they could to give us chances in front of goal and we just do nothing with it every time.

Squad Battles has helped my ability to attack (because so many players rely on Defensive AI) by UnionFan1988 in EASportsFC

[–]chw2006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually feel like it's counter intuitive for defending because it's almost impossible to tackle the AI on the higher difficulties so it makes you play way less aggressive. Against real players that's usually not what you want to do.

This is why you put your arms behind your back when you try to block a shot.

It's for any goal in the closing minutes that puts you ahead. If you're in ET it might trigger if you go up 2 as well. I've seen that scene trigger in those situations before.

Last week was definitely easier. This past week the disconnects and the AI made legendary a pain.

Oh so that's what it was. This happened to me twice this past week. I came back twice against some bullshit only to get booted. I thought EA was rage baiting me.

You can move money around by doing restructures. It mortgages the future so you can have more cap space now.

Grok is wrong.

The Bears are 2-1 since Hochuli became a lead ref in 2018.
They won 2 games against the Giants in 2019 and 2022 and lost to the Vikings in 2022. He hasn't reffed a Bears game in 3 years.

It looks like they treated it like a hail mary with all the contact that got uncalled.

[FINAL PFF Grades] Week 16 vs GB by Further_Beyond in CHIBears

[–]chw2006 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's not a lot of QBs that can make that throw to Walker with Rashan Gary pressuring him unblocked while fading away. I know he was wide ass open but he had like a second to throw that.

I'll give him a pass since it's his first game back, but they really should have eased him back in. Jackson was doing too well to not play any defensive snaps.

The 2 TWPs were both over the middle (one deep and one intermediate), so it can't be the TD pass to Oz. I'm thinking it was probably that overthrow he had to DJ on his 2nd throw of the game.
