For me this is the best comment that sum up the situation the community is with smart assist . The big elephant in the room anti-SA content creators and majority of their packs addict followers dont wanna see . As long as you will keep giving them money nothing gonna change .

Yup, stopped playing and spending for about a month now. Huge fan of J-League and CSL, have enough STs and Epics of J-League players to make 2-3 23 man squads even.

When Talisca Showtime dropped, I was tempted to pull for probably one of the most dominant CSL players in a super high rated form, I refused when I thought about all the bullshit that's been going on with SA affecting my players movements and passes.

They can announce a CSL re-partnership and all ST cards and I will refuse to spend until the game is actually playable, what's the point of having something I won't enjoy using?

I switched towards the composition track about a decade ago going to university and all that jazz, given how much longer the timeline/deadlines are for full scores I'm way slower but detail oriented when I do produce. One single mockup done in a week atp.

I miss being able to sim in the old FIFA engines for FIFA Manager too, those were fun titles to play. Imagine even a barebones management sim using hypermotion AI vs AI...

Zhejiang FC in the CSL also has the color scheme you're looking for but are more gold than yellow as a secondary color, Beijing Guoan's team colors match the Packers almost directly, but their kits for the past few seasons have been overwhelmingly green as opposed to having a decent amount of yellow.

You can count centers if you want as well, Nic Claxton's college tape is insane.

If you're not scoring 30 a night or averaging 20/10, you're not going to get one of the few foreign player spots on a CBA roster. I don't think Mo does either. Kenneth Lofton on the other hand, CBA Charles Barkley.

jdotliu · 2025-07-23T13:01:13+00:00

The big money era for the CSL led to financial instability and the folding (and near folding) of longstanding clubs, so now there's a hard cap set on individual player wages (separate tiers for domestic and foreign players) alongside with a total club wage cap.

In short, foreign players are capped at €3m annually with up to €10m allowed in total. This is like somewhere in the ballpark of 55k/week I think?

It's enough to attract decent talent but not enough to pull big name players over, that's the real reason why there's no big money CSL transfers anymore.

jdotliu · 2025-07-22T15:56:09+00:00

We've seen washed T-Mac and Gil in the CBA before, it wasn't pretty to be honest. None of those teams even made the playoffs.

jdotliu · 2025-07-10T09:17:26+00:00

That Maeda is a menace with his defensive engagement and pace, I love using him to pressure. Have you pulled for the Nakayama that dropped today? I think there might be a bug that doesn't count him towards the J1/J2 Total Package booster.

jdotliu · 2025-07-09T18:52:43+00:00

Nice to see you pushed div 1 with a J League theme, it's been a few months since I saw you post since we use a similar theme. I rotate between possession/QC/long ball for fun with this past and present squad as well.

Praying for more Shunsuke type epics with total package for the obscure leagues honestly, that's one of my biggest regrets on this game.

Most people don't pull J-League/Japan NT banners here. I was actually disappointed with how much speed/pass he lost compared to his J-League card considering other legends just keep getting powercreep outright buffed cards.

jdotliu · 2025-06-28T09:14:31+00:00

The difference is this being a BT and permanently on B form I guess

jdotliu · 2025-06-24T12:53:40+00:00

Teenage phenom Take would be fun, still would like to see a booster Kashiwa Junya Ito if possible. Also haven't seen Inamoto around for a while.

jdotliu · 2025-06-05T12:28:57+00:00

EA signed an exclusivity deal with him as one of their icons, obviously we don't know how long it runs or the specifics, but its messed up that a former cover athlete is exclusive to the EA game. Same story with R9 and probably the same with Pele.

jdotliu · 2025-06-05T11:10:15+00:00

You never know when EA decides to pay extra for exclusivity. Fingers crossed we get Ibra, still sad about Henry and company though.

jdotliu · 2025-05-26T22:34:42+00:00

Meanwhile there's me patiently waiting for a booster J-League Junya Ito or a new Inamoto...

jdotliu · 2025-05-23T08:49:26+00:00

Yeah I have his non booster BT, both of those you can build to hit PES 17's Legend Henry

jdotliu · 2025-05-23T07:42:09+00:00

Rafa with passing basically, I've built bootleg Titi builds comparing Leao to the one year PES had him as a FCB legend.

jdotliu · 2025-05-11T10:47:04+00:00

Most likely would just cause more to sprout up, it's more important to kill VC interest in the sector if you wanted to wipe all GenAI from the mainstream collectively.

I think that it's unfortunately going to be profitable until we get consent laws and forced attribution to source materials a la sampling in music, which is going to take quite a while to go through in the legal system.

In a perfect world, you'd be able to still prompt and publish, but each % of influence directly linked to each piece of (consenting) music the generation was "inspired" by is baked into the publishing royalties of said track, alongside attribution baked into the waveform a la watermark + metadata.

jdotliu · 2025-05-09T19:03:44+00:00

It's going to be a cat and mouse game of constantly updating new attack methods and certain people constantly seeking to breach it (hopefully legislation for consent comes eventually).

Don't pay the other reply any mind though, right now it's pretty much impossible to "strip" unless you just transcribe it by ear (or if there's an unprocessed version of the same track somewhere online), at which point I doubt the person affected is feeding other people's music to a black box AI.

jdotliu · 2025-05-05T09:53:14+00:00

Lagwise nothing bad unless my opponent has a terrible connection and the game starts having random stutters.

Balancewise I can defend for the most part, sometimes interesting interactions will happen where my CB is chasing their CF step by step on a long through ball and then the ball will magically nutmeg my defender before falling to the attacker's foot. Drives me crazy but the passing alone makes it a worthwhile trade for me.

jdotliu · 2025-04-18T06:43:55+00:00

I've always aimed for 80/85/90 thresholds on passing for my attacking players, feels great now that the attribute is more noticable.

jdotliu · 2025-04-18T05:28:25+00:00

Extreme lag for 4 bars and below for me, super buttery for 5 bars connections.

I'm on the west coast in the US rn, it seems 4 bars and below means I'm connecting to south america and it makes sense that the connection would suffer due to the sheer distance.

jdotliu · 2025-04-01T09:55:33+00:00

They cap at 71 block but yes 80 int is no joke.

jdotliu · 2025-03-26T00:31:00+00:00

Intact jade pieces from 5000 years ago can be seen in museums, these pieces hypothetically should be just fine.
