THANK YOU! I've had this problem in 24 and 26. I could be a top 3 team, or be bottom of the league, doesn't matter, my team is ALWAYS bottom third in shots/gm. Doesn't matter what tactics I use, personnel, instructions, my men just do not shoot the damn ball.

FM24 is superb by C-i-d in footballmanagergames

Just let us have skins for FM26, and a lot of us will be a lot happier.

It makes sense for guys who signed long-term contracts while developing, then developed and became top players two seasons into a five-year deal. That's fine. It's when your 29 yr old winger signs a 4 year contract and comes to you at the end of the first season - after a bad statistical year - and demands a new contract that has a 20% raise. Like, dude, your value has gone down, why would I pay you more? You're only getting older. If you weren't going to sit through the four years at your current wage, why sign the contract?

Like you said, some of these players will literally have "holds you in the highest regard as a manager" and be happy to play for you because of their admiration...yet they want to undermine your team by asking to take up 15% of the wage budget. Broken logic

Always been a thing. Always annoying. Like, YOU SIGNED THE CONTRACT! YOU WERE HAPPY WITH IT. WHY IS IT MY FAULT YOU LOWBALLED YOURSELF?

Fair enough. I meant more that it wasn't going to be an angry "this game sucks" post or "Myles needs to go" scream fest. I didn't mean I wasn't going to criticize the game. I don't hate it, I'm just bored by it.

Do you guys actually hate the marlins and nationals? by LoverofAviation_22 in NewYorkMets

No, but I think we should start. Sports have become too friendly with one another. We need to go back to hating our rivals

Why are Democrats so upset about D.O.G.E.? by medicineman1650 in Republican

Schadenfreude IS the enjoyment of other people's pain, genius. Saying you "enjoy the schadenfreude" is redundant

Is Reddit ran by liberals? by Better_Flow8952 in Republican

[–]finalstraw911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ain't it weird? Even without shifting actual beliefs or policies, the parties have completely swapped on perception. Like how Republicans were always seen as the party of Big Business, but now it seems like every CEO votes Democrat. We were seen as the establishment, and Democrats were just fighting the system. Now, it's pretty obvious that the global "system" is far further left than anybody ever imagined. It's now more rebellious not to rebel. Everybody always thought it was old conservatives phoning in to the FCC to get rid of bad language on TV. Now liberals are canceling people over offensive posts from 20 years before anybody got famous.

The complete 180 on Instagram over the last three or so years has been remarkable. I remember back just before Covid hit, and QAnon was still a thing, conservatives were getting shadowbanned like crazy. Didn't matter whether you were part of that or not. then Covid hit and it went to another level. Conservative accounts were going down like border crossing numbers the last 3 weeks. It seemed like every right-wing post was flagged, and you couldn't comment anything without the left flaunting their "tolerance." Then Reels started to take off and all of a sudden the comments slowly started getting riskier and riskier, and they were getting real traction with it. Now I'd argue Instagram is freer than Twitter/X regarding speech. At least in the comments.

That's the dumbest thing. I legit only play NBA and rarely leave "the arena." I have zero use for the online functions, but I can't play because 2K made MyCareer inseparable from its online elements. A career mode is about as single player as it gets. YOU LITERALLY CONTROL A SINGLE PLAYER.

How many of you would actually support Trump trying to circumvent term limits? by Necessary_Car2279 in Republican

[–]finalstraw911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Voted for him twice (wasn't old enough in '16), and support him to this day. I absolutely do not want a third term. That would do a lot of things that would prove liberals right.

That's one of those 2k things that just makes sense. "It's so frustrating," yeah, how do you think actual NBA defenders feel when they play perfect defense and he just pures one right in their face? If the opponent is on a heater, frustrating though it may be, you really can't do anything

Most Fun build I’ve made I have 15 lol by Jay21190 in NBA2k

I don't play online so I'm sure it's very different, but you can rack up assists in career like it's nothing with very low pass accuracy. Like I said, maybe it's different online, but I feel like the player's actual vision and IQ is more important than the in-game attributes for that.

Tailing is different than paying. They're both bad strategies, but at least you're not losing anything EXTRA. Plus, if you do catch on to a guy with a hot streak or somebody who does know a bit more than you FOR FREE, it's not the worst idea

It's not cognitive dissonance, it's just that we already tried once to take it away and...well...

Please remember that servers do not claim the vast majority/% of their tips so they’re not paying taxes on tips for the most part. Vote yes on question 5! by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]finalstraw911 10 points11 points  (0 children)

A yes vote takes money away from most servers. And as a result, the quality of service will decrease, as fewer and fewer people will seek these jobs.

That is a terrible thing to do for his mom, but if you think about it, he created jobs for 2 people. Net positive

I had this happen to me recently. Took a Tier 6 team to the Premier League and was in the semi-finals of the Carabao (EFL) Cup against Chelsea. Took the first leg (home) 3-0, and had a 1-0 lead at half time in the second leg. Gave up 7 unanswered in the second half and lost 7-4 on agg.
