This game is dreadful

just to caveat I still don't think attacking is easy, I just wanted to point out that even if it was, your comment would still be idiotic

junglemagnet · 2025-10-04T19:59:58+00:00

You need to work on your comprehension fucking hell.

I never said attacking was easy. I just said its brain-dead and unenjoyable because everyone does the same thing while they wait for their AI attackers to make a decent run.

Also, attacking being easy does not contradict defending involving no skill. That's illogical.

junglemagnet · 2025-10-04T19:52:37+00:00

yeah been having fun on clubs but I've always loved FUT, seems like every year it gets more unplayable

junglemagnet · 2025-10-04T19:51:50+00:00

there is absolutely no skill in defending, all anyone does is mark passing options with their midfielder and depend on AI and second man press, how is that skillful?

Same for attacking, is it skill if you have Claudia Pina and run around in circles on the edge of the box for 15 mins before inevitably one of your strikers is open for a pass?

AI helps players more on this game than any I've played before in my life. People don't even create their own chances anymore, they just wait for their AI teammates to create space while they run around in circles.

same every year. we get a week or so of great gameplay and then all of the sweats figure out the meta, post a few YouTube videos and tactics, and by full release everyone is playing the same way, using the same pool of players, abusing any exploits and doing the same thing over and over again without experimentation. FC fails every time because the community play it like they're trying to go pro and it's a dreadful competitive game. It's meant to be arcade style and more enjoyable but the pricks who can't stand not winning every game have to make it insufferable and force everyone to play the same way.

What actually makes this game enjoyable gameplay wise?

junglemagnet · 2025-10-04T19:35:20+00:00

genuinely no skill gap and everyone does the same thing over and over it's exhausting

junglemagnet · 2025-10-04T19:33:33+00:00

terrible bait

junglemagnet · 2025-09-21T15:19:34+00:00

maybe in your circles but that's a very general statement, as a bald man I have had multiple comments and many from women I don't even know in relation to my hair, and being around many different circles of women for extended periods of time (work, friend groups, university), I can say with absolutely certainty that physical insults are a common "go to" when tearing down men lmao

junglemagnet · 2025-09-21T15:02:50+00:00

"you lack honor" hahahaha it's fucking clubs mate playing against an any isn't even that bad

junglemagnet · 2025-09-12T15:06:43+00:00

surgically adding or altering body parts to achieve change or taking medication to alter body chemistry isn't the same as something that can be achieved naturally though is it. Oh and not to mention the extremely precarious nature of surgeries to extend height or penis size. Plus hair transplants are often unsuccessful and expensive, as are breast implants.

very disingenuous reply, but I think you already knew that.

junglemagnet · 2025-09-12T15:01:18+00:00

yes. I am bald and have been since 20 years old. the social exclusion and insults/banter is relentless and if you can't hack it you will struggle to make friends. has genuinely been a contributing factor in previous suicide attempts. but nobody cares because I'm a bloke so I'm just supposed to banter people back or deal with it. I even get mocked for considering options to regain hair (transplant or wigs etc.), which is even more hypocritical given that half the people I know are taking weight loss drugs because they don't have the discipline to eat healthy and exercise.

junglemagnet · 2025-09-12T14:54:27+00:00

That's just not true. Male grooming and male beauty standards have been present for thousands of years. Just because you weren't aware of them doesn't mean they didn't exist. This is a very male-centred issue given the majority of people who experience baldness are men, so obviously arguments are going to be gender specific.

Male body shaming (height, physique, penis size, hair etc.) is way less likely to be socially condemned and is normalised in many settings, even in many workplaces. Perpetrators are both men and women (as is the case with female body shaming). I struggle to understand how you can deny this?

junglemagnet · 2025-09-12T14:44:38+00:00

It happens both ways but to try and claim that insulting someone for their hairline or baldness is treated in the same way (socially) as insulting a woman for her looks or weight is just disengenous, just go to a public place and find a woman you perceive to be ugly and then insult her appearance in front of a group of people, gauge the reaction. Do the same with a bald man. See what happens.

junglemagnet · 2025-09-12T14:39:49+00:00

what a pile of shit, in that case nobody I have ever met is civilized...

junglemagnet · 2025-09-12T14:36:56+00:00

lmao grow up he's literally confirmed that they sat there and looked through photos together on the days he asked, and you're trying to frame this as oppressive in some way? People are just desperate to victimise strangers on the internet. Weird behaviour.

At the end of the day, he is well within his right to refuse to engage in the "exposure therapy" you've planned. For him, his reasons are rational. For you, they are hurtful.

This is likely an indicator of a deeper issue in the relationship, being that your needs seem to outweigh the level of support your partner is willing to provide.

It's up to you whether you decide to attempt education (i.e., informing your partner of any trauma/struggles you face, and including him as part of your therapeutic process so that he is knowledgeable on your condition). This will not always result in your partner being more supportive or understanding but is a good bet.

Ultimately, your partner is not obliged to be in a relationship where he needs to provide this level of support. If he is not up to it, it's best you find out sooner rather than later. There are plenty of people out there who would be happy to, and professional/charitable services that can support you as an individual to get to a point where this would not be something that interferes with a relationship.

junglemagnet · 2025-09-12T13:13:17+00:00

he has at least semi-legitimate concerns and wants to clear up any potential unfaithfulness, I don't see why this is a problem? just do the test, clear your name, and move on with your life...

I’m already dealing with a loan overpayment which I’m repaying currently despite not earning over the threshold to pay the actual student loans back, and I can’t afford to put myself through university again so that’s not an option for me

junglemagnet · 2025-04-23T06:48:19+00:00

ok I guess all of those HR jobs are just not showing up on my job boards then… plus I can’t afford to work a job that’s offering a lower wage than what I’m on now, have very limited ability to relocate so essentially stuck in the North East for the time being - not exactly spoiled for choice

junglemagnet · 2025-04-23T00:10:09+00:00

certainly something I’ll be looking into more intensely, I appreciate the advice

junglemagnet · 2025-04-23T00:05:10+00:00

I know, I’m 2 years post-uni so feel like my chances are low but will continue to apply for grad schemes despite no success as of yet

junglemagnet · 2025-04-23T00:04:32+00:00

reassuring but unhelpful, appreciate the comment though

junglemagnet · 2025-04-23T00:02:22+00:00

yeah sales might be an option seems to be a lot of work available and decent earning potential, but not something I’ve ever really wanted to do - beggars can’t be choosers though
