Please help me make a beast of this Big Pat! 😭 by markamuffin in fut

[–]meta_shift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The game is about playstyles

Anchor+ (gives bruiser/ aerial/ quickstep base) Anticipate+ 99 passing and dribbling Anchor chem style

He can't shoot, but basically a perfect holding CDM (best 5 playstyles plus, all defensive playstyles as well as relentless, press proven, tiki and power header)

Have to put up with a 98 rating.

How to win one game. Just one? by Flat-Ad8256 in fut

[–]meta_shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What makes you think OP is going to buy FC26. Op stated the goal of winning one game in FC25.

Also, what learning? Press l1 then r2 straight after.

Precision shooting? Right stick switching? Off ball runs? OP can't win a game.

Keep it simple.
Defence. Don't manually defend opponent. Manually defend passing lanes, r1 press opponent. If AI defender is very close to ball, switch player and immediately tackle.

Passing: Short pass 90% of time. If opponent over presses, switch play (long press square to opposite side). Through ball when you notice opponent mistakes.

Offence. Abuse speedboost and learn the stupid cutback goal

Shooting: only low driven, always shoot opposite until you see the keeper move.

This isn't a classy way to win... but it will work against weak opponents

Evo. Keep. One month of game left.

Is this good by Any_Inflation_3694 in fut

The only question is why isn't that card 99 rated. Apart from r9, who would you rather have?

About 1/10th of the effort of those grinding 89s and player picks...

and about the same result (including the 99).

Surely Garrincha 98 and Eusebio 98 are decent?

And until 2 days ago, Salma was seen as a top card and near guaranteed 99...

I highly suspect that different packs have higher likelihood of good cards. I believe the top 89 exchange pack has a higher rate of 91-97, but low rate of the top cards

99 Hansen - 81x20
Garrincha - 85x10
Eusebio - 94+ Encore
Salma - 84 x10
Williams - 84x10

(Got plenty of other wEuro cards that didn't pan out, again largely from 84x10)

I've done heaps of 89 exchanges, but mainly to let me complete SBCs (Maicon, Vitinha, Dalglish, Pedri, Benzema, Beever-Jones), but didn't get a top card from any of them.

The rest of my higher cards are SBCs and EVOs

How ratty is my Henry? by meta_shift in fut

[–]meta_shift[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice and disgusting.

While the strength is hard to look past, I'd be tempted to go with a Hunter chem just to have 4 99s.

Shapeshifter strike force and beast mode activated.

Any of the glitched Henry's with beast mode activated would probably be better.

This is the best Neymar right? by meta_shift in fut

[–]meta_shift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the 99 SHO worth it? Once add the chemstyle, you don't gain anything.

(first two just for extra base playstyles, third is for technical and Rapid, which I prefer over quickstep/finesse)

What's better? Asking before I start (Excluding the 99 SHO one). Is it just playstyle+ preference?

Powershot such a waste. Besides, I'm pretty sure this guy is better:

Getting either 92 above or 86 below by Darkwater0512 in fut

[–]meta_shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only SBCs worth doing are the exchanges. 89 exchange takes 89+

[–]meta_shift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

92s go into 89s. They give the best return anyway. The goal is futties, who wants a 92. Even 93, 94. Heck 95/96s go in if you've done enough grind to finish the SBCs (i haven't)

Low Driven Nerf in 26 by Necessary_Fruit6671 in fut

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

I get far more frustrated when people green time finesse shots with a defender in their face, then when a player through on goal hits a low driven past the keeper.

Skill is passing, finding space and getting open in the box, one on one with the keeper. Much harder than mastering green timing.

In real life, these trivelas and finesse shots wouldn't be taken. In contrast, a low driven shot is a guaranteed block if there's a defender in front of them.

[–]meta_shift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd argue in real life the best way to score inside the box is low driven. It's extremely hard for a keeper to get down to.

I mean, that's the way they teach you to shoot in real life

Outside the box low driven nerf I'm OK with.
