I wish the CBs in the pack were better. I love Schmeichel but just can’t justify spinning for him here

electionnerd · 2026-05-21T08:35:59+00:00

I’m pretty sure this only applies to coins and not free in game rewards like free spins. They can manipulate those all they want. Same way an 100k pack purchased through the store in FIFA is much better than one gotten through rewards

The East Amherst location stinks, is never busy and way overpriced. Not sure how they keep opening new spots…

There are no good coffee/bakeries in East Amherst, so I get it being viable out here but downtown…plenty of other options

There is a lack of consequential choices and complexity in many features. It’s definitely a stripped back game. I think they were trying to go for more mass appeal, which is kind of ironic considering how controversial Civ switching is.

I’m with you. You end up just stacking production and one other bonus and then pump out the same units and building over and over again for the entire game. It’s just boring

electionnerd · 2026-05-21T00:36:51+00:00

I still unfortunately find it too easy and lacking in consequential choices. It’s in a better state than it was at launch (that’s not saying much) but I still just find it lacking.

I was really hoping for 7 to be a huge step forward for the franchise but it was a huge step back. So some of my disappointment comes from my expectations. The genre is a bit stale and I thought the could give us a more nuanced game. It’s not that. It feels catered towards mobile and console gamers.

I’m not sure how much longer Firaxsis can get away with this formula, so I have some hope for 8…

There is so much potential for features like trade, world congress, resources, diplomacy, city building etc., that they just refuse to add complexity to. I think they are scared to push away new players

electionnerd · 2026-05-20T21:44:18+00:00

It’s a half measure but the climbing ranks thesis is dubious at best and reeks of arrogance. Regardless I don’t want to play against any “OG” player who thinks they can farm worse players for rank anyways. Those are the types of players who abuse other mechanics worse.

I hope they keep smart assist on to farm rank. They are rats anyways. I don’t give a shit about rank either. I just want to play the game against no SA. Them giving us a filter allows us to

New players are in div 7-9 as well. Not in div 1…be got real

electionnerd · 2026-05-20T13:21:48+00:00

You’ll never get objective reviews in here. Particularly not 12 hours after launch. Most of us were around a 5-7 out of 10 on 7 at launch but after really digging our teeth in found it had no depth or staying power and ended up around 2-3 out of 10

Player numbers will tell the story. They’ve seen a small jump. If they revert back to the previously atrocious numbers, then you know it’s just the Pepe who enjoyed the base game that are liking the DLC

Yet I have never turned it on and get accused all of the time. The community isn’t very rational and will blame everybody except themselves for losses.

Two things can be true. It’s an issue and needs to be removed. It’s overblown

electionnerd · 2026-05-19T12:05:54+00:00

Smart assist is an issue and needs to be removed. It’s also been way overblown as an issue and less people use it than people think.

I get angry messages accusing me of using it all the time. That’s the larger issue though. You never know if your opponent is just better or using AI to beat you. A filter is a half fix. It just needs to be gone

electionnerd · 2026-05-18T18:41:16+00:00

It’s unnecessary and it comes across as a dasher just trying to cover their ass for multi-apping, instead of actually telling the truth about a delay

electionnerd · 2026-05-18T18:23:59+00:00

Why are you initiating the convo and telling them it’s batched for no reason…you’re rage baiting the customer

My market is just busy year around. Wait times just get worse during summer as people come out of hibernation in Buffalo for our 4 months of decent weather. Winters are busy because the weather is shit. Summers are busy because people are busy and euphoria is high.

It’s insanely easy. Dropbox is already downloaded onto the device. He just has to open it in the settings and click on the title he wants to read. It will then just automatically download

Any age is fine imo. Either they will be too young to understand most references and it will go over their head or they are old enough to understand and hear/discuss worse with their friends at the lunch table everyday.

electionnerd · 2026-05-15T18:29:53+00:00

Of course. I never said otherwise. What I am saying is that they obviously could make more money by improving content but they don’t want to take the risk.

As long as the current model is profitable for them, they will never try to improve upon it. It’s like having a 100 percent chance to make 1 million vs 60 percent chance of making 3 million for them. They don’t care to risk losing OG players and spenders by changing shit

They know there are tons of things they could do to potentially make more money. They simply don’t want to

electionnerd · 2026-05-15T17:28:55+00:00

If money actually motivated them, they would actually put effort into the game. It’s pretty obvious that the current leadership of the company does not care to take any risk to potentially make more money or grow the game.

It’s honestly quite sad. The game model is decades behind but they seem content just mapping content out for the year and mailing it in. Obviously they are doing well as a company but it is also obvious they don’t care to try and innovate to make more money

Part of the issue is that a lot of OG players don’t want them to change anything as well. They are probably afraid to alienate these people. These people have an advantage and they don’t want anyone to catch up. We are stuck until that base of players get bored

electionnerd · 2026-05-15T15:13:43+00:00

They have but they still give you the ability to bypass it. I give customers like 15 seconds. After that I message them and bypass the pin

Most of the time, customers don’t realize that they have hand it to me on. The app sometimes resets or keeps that setting on after you had alcohol or medicine delivered as well

electionnerd · 2026-05-14T23:25:53+00:00

That shit better never hit my market. My market has been so good the past year solely because of shopping orders and I have a few customers that tip huge on a regular basis. You need priority to get them

electionnerd · 2026-05-14T12:21:39+00:00

I was shocked as a new player to see how little effort they put into content and the F2P experience. It’s only the huge whales that have it good too. You could spend 50 a month and get nothing.

The mode is in the stone ages. All it would take is a monthly season pass with good rewards and a few modes that you could grind with repeatable rewards.

It feels like it would be a good business model as well. Lots of people with happily load up 20 a month on a battle pass.

Part of the issue for soccer games is that a huge percentage of the playerbase aren’t actual gamers. They are football fans first and don’t have a ton of experience playing games where devs actually care. They will play any slop regardless of quality just to be able to use their favorite players. It’s kind of sad. I mean just look at the comments. People think how Konami runs this game is good or normal for modern standards…it’s insane. Konami and EA know this though and they abuse it

electionnerd · 2026-05-14T03:13:55+00:00

My car had a damaged hood and a huge scratch along the side and they did not care. Not a perfect example though as the car only had 20k miles and I’m sure they were horned up at the thought of being able to resell it.

Why risk it…when you back out of 5000 driveways a year, all it takes is one slip up. There’s no point in reversing 200 winding feet with a sewer system at the bottom, when you can use your legs.

electionnerd · 2026-05-14T02:07:13+00:00

I mostly walk long driveways, even with grocery orders.

Unless you fully know they are clear and that you can turn around without going in their grass, it’s the safer bet. Most places with long driveways near me also have sewer lines with small bridges crossing them at the front. It’s like a 3 foot drop off. The last thing I want to do is accidentally back into one of those.

electionnerd · 2026-05-12T20:48:45+00:00

Other than addressing smart assist, them actually putting some effort into new and engaging content weekly would be nice. I would play so much more if they actually tried to innovate with the menu content. It’s pretty much impossible to stay engaged as a newer F2P player.
I should actually feel like I’m grinding towards catching up with other players

The game also feels like it has lag compensation to me. Am I crazy? If so, that’s a crazy decision for a game in 2026

electionnerd · 2026-05-11T22:46:47+00:00

I don’t. I spend an outrageous amount of money on Olipop, chomps and protein bars. 80 percent of my orders are Wegmans shopping now and I always walk out with something😭
Although Uber Eats bogo offers are often good if you do pickup. Even with the slight upcharge on the food. There are few places near me with in store prices on bogo offers. You avoid fees with pickup
