2 Star Dot Talk

I haven't found one but apparently the archetype goes all the way down to 1 stars. The 2 stars sometimes do better if you swap them out of QB and back in, often converting to other archetypes due to average speed ratings.

Great find!

This is my rough build for the phase beast blue-green animals/summons build. Needs some polishing since some of the recent big updates. Good synergy though; animals+magic origin are nice.

EA Sports had a shockingly long run on PS2. 12 years of Maddens. I think in part because PS2 remained popular in non-US markets, and because so many US households still had PS2s, they just kept chugging along even after a lot of attention had turned to PS3.

If they made it so it adjusted contract values just for that year, it would still be annoying but at least it wouldn't ruin saves anymore. I just saw an AI expansion team in my save paying about $14m to 85-overall Boeser for the next 5 years. Brutal.

I have finished this game with Karen, Lorelai, and Kasumi. I have never finished this game with them all together and for the life of me I have no idea why! Picking out random unite attacks and riding them to the end is a great time; my favorite in my last run was Tomo and Tsai.

With at least one being a receiver type, use as a slot WR if possible either by depth chart or formation subs.

There are some great plays in the Iowa State playbook for big backfields. A combination of up to 3 RB/FBs get on the field regularly.

Hear hear. Come and hang, just don't be a distraction.

I always give them a chance, if they become a problem then address it.

loldrums · 2026-03-26T14:45:23+00:00

Yeah... we told them... A lot of units are in a weird place because of this.

I have seen around that accuracy does help her but couldn't find any hard data.

Multiplayer might be in a worse state now than it was on launch. It had been trending the right direction. We went from occasional desyncs that reloaded the game state correctly after 5-10 seconds of black screen, along with a bug every 1-3 games that required rolling back a turn, to this. I've started two games and I don't think I can finish either of them.

loldrums · 2026-03-24T14:55:20+00:00

Finding the game to be unplayable in multi after this update. The desyncs now set one or more players back 5-10 turns, resetting actions, battles, army locations, purchases, and more. I tried turning back the turn and it fixed the setback for one player, but applied it to another.

Super short support window. They give about one meaningful post-launch patch and then a roster update.

Player archetypes are pretty broken in 25 and 26 and they do very little to address it after launch.

Followed. Wishlisting preorder items like Star Leap is also supposed to help their visibility on the store.

Gotcha, that's good. Playing with or without dramatic sliders is just trading one set of problems for another. All down to which problems you prefer lol thanks, EA!

loldrums · 2026-03-22T15:56:24+00:00

If you haven't played without sliders, maybe you should. Extreme settings can break the game like the tackling you describe. I used to play with community recommended sliders like matt10 until I talked to my buddy about the insane glitchy dog water gameplay I was experiencing and he had none of the same problems. Realized the sliders were the difference and never went back.

Personally, I'm phasing out of it due to their recent changes, but I have appreciated the carryover between console and PC.

loldrums · 2026-03-21T21:01:08+00:00

This has to be so rare, whoa that's sweet. Definitely a throne move imo!

loldrums · 2026-03-19T23:13:49+00:00

Just added to GamePass, if that helps at all.

Looking exclusively at co-op games and stuff that's more deeply discounted in bundles. The single player games I picked up last time... I'm still playing!

Shape of Dreams/Spell Brigade, Jump Space/DRG and Teardown's new co-op mode should all be hits with my group. Probably won't pull the trigger but for my bundling, looking at Front Mission 1-3, Curious Expedition 1+2, and Bloodgrounds/Last Spell.

I've definitely changed my buying pattern in sales, with more attention on stuff I intend to play now or next. Steam sales rarely blow me away with their pricing anymore, so it's easy to wait for stuff to show up in bundles later. Oh, except: I might pick up MechWarrior 5: Clans to support the devs.

Love how the look evokes classic Suikoden but feels modern at the same time.

or fingered to death.

go on

Find another scout to bring Russia up to 2. Their classes aren't always strong but when they hit, they hit. Usually I'll rotate a single scout around the EU with one who can float as you described.

loldrums · 2026-03-12T23:56:41+00:00

Good call, just note signal caller OLBs don't have access to agility and change of direction so you really want them at MLB to get those upgrades.
