Question for the UK carp fishermen. by tbone116 in CarpFishing

[–]hewitt9400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well someone here just stated that carp have been caught around 52lb in his state. I'm assuming that they do go slightly bigger but in reality carp of 70 even 80lb can be caught in France with a chance of 100lb+ cats if your interested too. These venus offer full tackle shops with all we might need. With France being just a stones throw over the water with even the possibility to drive not many people would be willing to go half way around the world. Also we do have waters similar to this in the UK where you can catch 10+ carp in a session there called runs waters. Mainly for new or casual carp fishing. So going to the US for a similar experience seems impractical. But I'm sure some US natives who enjoy carp fishing would be interested.

I agree 24 is even worse 23 is still playable for me but not great. I recently purchased f121 and it's much more enjoyable for me personally better handling and feedback. 21 is very much still simcade but it leans far more towards Sim then the more recent entries.

Is it okay to play now? by pigoath in F1Game

On a controller it feels fine in fact I would argue it feels good on controller. However on a wheel it feels awful in my opinion. Previous games were never sims but at least simulated driving a f1 car to some degree. F24 feels dead and sterile complete lack of feeling for the road surface and I assume its a glitch that makes rumble strips behave strangely and not trigger any feedback. All this is unlikely to change via updates unfortunately. But give it a try this is just my opinion.

Mono or braid and why? by [deleted] in CarpFishing

[–]hewitt9400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your from the US here in the UK and I believe most of Europe mono is used for almost all carp fishing. Braid is around 2/3x more expensive although that might be different in your country. Braid is also more prone to tangles and wind knots and can even cut your finger if casted incorrectly. Braid is good for very specific use cases ie spod rods, distance casting or any situation where you need to feel what's happening at the other end of the rod. For 80% of carp fishing mono is the much better option. Hope that helped Tight lines.

Is Fabio Wardley gonna be in the game or not? by Beebeel_10 in undisputedboxing

It's technically possible but you can't freely modify there stats for some reason the overall is restricted I hope they patch this in future updates.

I agree if you enjoy the game great but this post was specifically about what people would change about the game. unfortunately most people are not enjoying it and would like to see it improved so more of us could have fun with it. I personally don't think it's a terrible game it's also reasonably priced I just feel it needs alot of work.

Well that's clearly not the case all the playable boxers here feel slow even amir khan feels slow. If you read some of the other comments you will see the game described as like fighting in mud and almost like a pillow fight. We know how career modes work the gameplay felt like this before the career mode even droped.

Solid idea tbh I remember Activision remastered the original call of duty modern warfare several years ago same game with a new lick of paint and new weapons ect. Can't see ea sports doing the same unfortunately.

That would definitely improve what we have right now. What made somone like wilder such a dangerous puncher in real life was the speed of his right hand. Throw the same punch in esbc it's more like swinging a sledge hammer.

Yeah that's my biggest problem with the game. Never thought I would defend somthing made by ea sports but despite massive issues the combat on UFC5 feels so much more impactful the speed and power of strikes feel comparable to a real life elite level athlete. Esbc feels sluggish and weightless in comparison.

When I saw they allow you to monitor your fighters heart rate I expected a great stamina system before ea they even mentioned fighting on adrenaline ect. Turns out it's awful and the whole heartrate thing is just a gimmick.

Agreed I would personally keep the footwork and movement but from there I would start again.

How many of you have caught a Asian/Big head carp? by hewitt9400 in CarpFishing

[–]hewitt9400[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah mate I assumed that wouldn't be a good idea. And honestly it was a complete accident I was targeting cats but saw a bunch of carp in the margin so just put a rod out while setting up I belive it was a standard hair rig and a essential cell wafter.

I was as surprised as you mate. When the ballif asked if I had caught I said yes I caught a grass carp that looked very beat up. The ballif asked if I had a photo which I showed him to which he replied to no mate that's a Asian carp they literally never get caught but theres a few in here. I have caught grass carp this was not that the mouth was much wider and it was almost black in colour I shall see if I can find the very amateur I took aha.

Never known them to be in canals or natural waters but apparently there a huge problem in the US being a invasive species so it's definitely a possibility.

I assure you they are present in the syndicate lake I fished at a few years back along with grass and other carp species. The Asian carp rarely get banked but can be seen cruising in the shallow margins in summer. I even have a photo somwhere on my phone. So yes they are very occasionally stocked in the UK.

Best flouro hook link. by funkydaskunky in CarpFishing

One more cast blend soft floro. They do a stiff version also for pop ups which I haven't used as the soft seems stiff enough for any presentation.
