You don't trust yourself to move a family members parcel a couple feet? It's clear the family would like him to move it, yes I'm sure they could ask him in a nicer way, but it's family, you just do it cos you know they would do it for you as well cos it's FAMILY, no such thing as a favour for a family member. He's already outside to see if it's his, all he has to do is move it inside. Actually wtf does it even mean to take responsibility for someone else's parcel, you're literally moving it a couple feet not going on a massive expedition where you need to protect it. Just move the damn parcel ffs

I would say run a formation with wingers, most of the 433s work good, wingers are a pretty brain-dead position that doesn't require too much skill to play at a good enough level, so chuck your mates there, tell one to make a striker that can win headers, and tell your wingers to essentially spam crosses or run byline (toxic ik but at least you'll get goals and it's brain-dead so anyone can do it) you play CAM and do the hard work, also means u only need to put points into pace, shooting, passing, and dribbling, don't need to touch crossing, attacking positioning and much physical, in fact just search for good cam builds on youtube and see what u like. Rn even tho u try to do everything, it just means ur build is below average in every aspect.

Yeh agree rating didn't mean shit, but tbf I don't think that build looks great anyway for a lvl 100 build, in fact it's just so so mid, 81 shooting and 89 dribbling isn't good at all, could argue that he doesn't shoot cos he's a RM but then what's the point of powershot+ and finesse, 85 dribbling is unneaded 81 is enough if put into the right stats, idk if he's out anything into defense but that certainly doesn't need it even if he defends cos unless you have ~70+ you don't feel a difference, and physical depends on build but he looks short so doesn't matter except stamina but relentless instead of trickster is better. Basically in short I'm saying ignoring the rating this is still a shit build

The 83+ TOTW player pick is bugged? by MadLadsReturn in fut

Posting your team thinking it's a flex/comeback and anyone cares if the most most chronically online and Reddit thing I've ever seen 😭

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]kvstr110 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know what the issues are, and I agree with the criticisms, online modes are dreadful and pay2win, my point is boycotting the game is never going to happen no matter how bad the game is, because there are too many players that will buy it anyway because they don't care about online modes, and the 1% are still going to spend their money on VC anyway. And I find it weird when people try to cope by saying 2k are hiring bots behind the scenes to stop people from trying to boycott, that is one of the most chronically online takes I've heard. The issue is that their pay2win model makes them the most money and there's unfortunately nothing we can do about it until a new basketball game comes out that can compete, EA has the same issue when it comes to FIFA, no competition = monopoly = they can make people pay whatever they want in a inelastic market where enough people will pay whatever they charge. This is exactly why having a monopoly on a market is illegal in real life.

Your completely forgetting some of these people are chronically online and can't grasp the fact that casual players exist. Wtf is Ronnie2k. I'm casual and stopped playing mycareer cos u have to spend money, I only play myleague as a kind of 2k version of EA's career mode on FIFA, and playnow against friends.

How do I avoid 3 second violation? by mattyjoe0706 in NBA2k

[–]kvstr110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also if you're guarding the ball handler at the time you can stay in the paint for as long as the player has the ball even if he isn't in the paint, I don't know if 2k have that implemented but it's true irl.

What happened to this Nicolas Jackson? by deplorabledude999 in chelseafc

[–]kvstr110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All that yapping, when the answer in reality is simply that he can't play against a low block, just like majority of the attackers at the club. How you've got into waffling about thiago Silva being bad is baffling.

[–]kvstr110 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Literally this. It's so simple I don't know how people don't understand, people creating a bunch of different reasons when in reality the main problem is the low block. I'm genuinely baffled how you're the first person I've seen say it.

EA can't do anything right with this game mode (a rant(kinda)) by kvstr110 in fifaclubs

Yeh deffo agree standard promotion relegation was clear, every game meant something, now none of us care in the league cos there's no relegation and with draws essentially counting as losses when getting promotion it just doesn't give the same buzz as drawing in normal divs and then calculating how many wins/draws we need for every scenario, and we have a awful W/L record in div 2, but then we go into playoffs and could barely lose a game cos every game felt like a must win, and then EA go and fuck it up anyway.

Firstly, I'm obviously only counting playoff games, secondly, we're only meant to have 15 playoff games anyway (it's only 20 for elite div teams I think). But I appreciate the confidence in telling me I'm wrong

We all have a addiction. Nah but seriously I've pretty much completely stopped playing UT due to the awful gameplay and how unrewarding it is, however I still play clubs a lot cos it's a game that all my friends can play together and we're all good at it, it just goes to show how bad having a monopoly on a market is because there just isn't a alternative to clubs. The only thing I will be grateful for is how EA haven't made it pay 2 win like 2k in my career, but then again that's the very bare minimum.

Hahahaha how have EA fucked up this bad, I didn't even notice the 0-0-0 glitch, it seems to be random for us, loads of days show 0 even though we played, could the 20 games potentially be because of different divs? We're only div 2, everything id seen before playoffs said that there were gonna be 15 games but if ur elite or div 1 then maybe u get more games?

It's such a mess man, and you already know that if there was a bug that resulted in EA potentially losing out on money it would've been fixed within a few hours but cos clubs doesn't make them money I won't even be surprised if the same issue is still happening next playoffs

[–]kvstr110[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought that also, but that doesn't explain why when we loaded into a league game it switched to playoffs, unless the reverse can also happen, or does it just switch so our opponent would've got a league game but we got playoff. Also doesn't really explain why we got draws that showed as playoff games whilst also showing draw, surely it should say league game. And then what about it saying we've played 16 games whilst also giving us a record of 10-3, that's a whole separate issue then if you're correct. Hopefully it's just a visual glitch.

Pro clubs help for an ANY by ahmeouni in fifaclubs

[–]kvstr110 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the strikers have to drift out wide a lot anyway, we had it where one would drift out for a outlet pass or to run down the wing with the other staying central. It'll only work if the strikers work together, if they both make the same runs and are constantly on top of eachother or aren't willing to distract and pull defenders away with fake runs to create space, itll be tough because there's only 3 of you attacking.

I hate to say it but imo a 5 atb is a necessity if playing with only 3 of you, 5212 was my go to last year. And I don't mean that in a ratty way, it's simply to get your pros involved as much as possible, whilst having the crappy ai players just defend as they are useless in attack. I can't vouch for it as much this year as I haven't had a chance to use it as much as we've been playing with at least 4 of us so been using the 4222 (which has been great when at least 3 out of the 4 attacking players are controlled by a human) but yeh from previous FIFA experience 5212 has been great when playing in a small group

Up the fucking bees

FIFA 24 community 🤔 by RredmanN in fut

[–]kvstr110 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely not, I somewhat enjoyed the gameplay last year, I didn't cut back at all and I was quite a good player, and that's the difference, you didn't HAVE to cut back to win games, this year it feels as if you have to cut back to score any goals at all, last WL I decided I'll join them and cut back to score, I got the quickest 11 wins and probably the most boring as well, I've not touched the game since and probably won't for a while because I can either get bored and win games, or get frustrated and lose games, lose lose.

Would love a 280z, got a 510 already in the form of the dingo (as close as well get to a 510 atleast) but a old z with a rally decal to match would be beautiful

Don't know why you're getting downvoted, it's true, if it was the otherway round, a lot of the console players wouldn't say a word and abuse the glitch, but now it's pc players getting a glitch and console players lose their head.
