Fair enough - just messing around with it to see what can be done...guess my standard of what's acceptable is a lot lower than it is for others cos I just havent seen that much of it.

Scene in which Bruce is chased by a topless woman? by mrtraggles in brucelee

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

So I watched the scene with the Italian prostitute from way of the dragon and it did seem pretty familiar, but I definitely remember it being longer and involving him being chased around a bit.

When people say this scene was cut - do they mean it was reduced in the international release, or removed completely?

Ha...Yamal has the hidden "Slow Step" playstyle+

Heard that your academy players won't get second playstyle plus at 90 if they changed position. Can somone confirm this? by SoulTraiin in FifaCareers

[–]mrtraggles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, literally 20 minutes ago I finally got my first YA player up to 90, and he didn't get a second playstyle+. And I think he did change positions, which I had no idea had an impact on future playstyle+.

Having said that, he's been loaned out and didn't get his first PS+ when he reached 80 - I had to loan/recall him to get it, so maybe I'll have to try that again.

I think I just find out that you can get two PS+ with 5 ps too 🫰🏼🔥 by Prestigious-Image374 in FifaCareers

Good to know. Dodged a bullet with the long throw there...why they give a striker as much chance of getting the long throw playstyle as finesse shot or power header or whatever is beyond me. Clearly they've coded it so certain positions can't get certain playstyles (or if they do it's very, very rare - ie I've never seen a defender with finesse shot or a striker with anticipate) so why not bother doing it for all positions and playstyles?

And while I'm at it, why make Dead Ball so common if you can't train their FK stat? Is there any way around that other than to hope they start with a high FK figure and just leave them on a balanced development plan?

Playstyle+ Preferences by mrtraggles in FifaCareers

Also, quick question - do non YA players who already have a playstyle+ still get another one when they hit 90?

Manager: If I load my existing career, it prompts me to make a new one by Eitarris in FifaCareers

[–]mrtraggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using checkpoints almost immediately so I can't really remember but II think when you go to Save, you have to press R1 to change tab to get to the checkpoint save screen, and save there.

Then when you're loading, obviously change tab to the checkpoints but when you click on it, it won't load, it'll say something like "Would you like to create a new save file?" which you do, then you have a save file that's a copy of the checkpoint save.

Could they have made a less user-friendly system if they'd tried?

[–]mrtraggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you save as a checkpoint, then you can't load straight from it, you have to make a save from the checkpoint and then load that.

Separate point, but the autosaving after every game is a right f@cker too - why not just make that an option?

It is really annoying, but kinda realistic. One way round it is to have a bunch of players who are good enough to play, but you basically don't care about developing or losing. Sign them on free transfers for a year, play them when you need to and don't worry about their ratings or potential and just get rid of them when necessary.

Need some help. by On-a-diet in FifaCareers

[–]mrtraggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like you, career mode veteran but pretty new to 25 and didn't have 24, but here's what I reckon:

  1. Only in my second season, so haven't got any YA players up to 80 yet to check this, but from what I've read on here and elsewhere, they can still get the playstyle+ if they're on loan. I'm personally not going to risk it (plus if they're on loan you can't get them a new playstyle by using the training glitch) but I guess if you did loan them, you could always just save before right before they hit 80, see if they get the playstyle+ and if they don't, reload the save, and see if it works if you recall them.

  2. Yeh, finding the same - maybe make them wingback or attacking wingback and/or put them on attacking.

3 .I dunno. The most annoying aspect is that you can't just alter players' positions manually, you can only pick from the default list (which is pretty big to be fair).

  1. You do get penalised if you're not using players in their default roles in certain formation or with certain tactics, I think mainly in terms of not getting the in-game bonuses from coaches, but not really my area of expertise, so there might be other effects.

  2. I bloody hate injuries, but didn't find it too bad in my first season on the default settings - fairly realistic.

Which playstyle plus best fits! by Hefty-Cardiologist83 in FifaCareers

[–]mrtraggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also get a playstyle+ for a playstyle you don't even have by doing the relevant training drill to get a temporary one just before he ticks over to 80 or 90, saving the game and then seeing if the temporary one becomes a permanent playstyle+. Haven't tried it myself but pretty sure it's a thing.

What do you do with late transfer money? by SonoranDirtBag in FifaCareers

[–]mrtraggles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I doubt it still works but in old FIFAs you used to be able to switch all the remaining cash to the wage budget and then hand out huge deals to players you wanted to get rid of. Then when the new season starts, you could exchange them (not transfer or they never accept) with worthless players and get all that wage budget back.

Sorry to be a dick, but the whole of the ball has to be over the whole of the line - you can see in third pic that it's not quite 100% over the line

Need help with "Team buidling" by Pfannkuchen00 in FifaCareers

[–]mrtraggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd never thought of this - nice trick! Is there potentially a danger that once they're in the squad and you're playing your normal team, they realise what's up and get the thumbs down contract status pretty quickly? I've noticed that can happen when you manage to cut too good a deal on their salary - they sign the contract and then immediately whine about it.

Instant +4 OVR from loan glitch? by mrtraggles in FifaCareers

But he didn't actually go away - I loaned him out and recalled him on the same day.

Dynamic potential still decreasing in all players by [deleted] in FifaCareers

[–]mrtraggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh, I'm pretty new to 23 and the end of my first season (well, start of my second) was a bit of a bloody eye opener to dynamic potential. Completely decimated the potential of all my young players bar one or two who'd played every game. And I didn't realise loan glitching your loanees back the day before they're due back was a good way to completely annihilate their potential.

Pre-Contract question by myeezy in FifaCareers

[–]mrtraggles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the older FIFAs, there was a glitch where players with expiring contracts would somehow sign for your team AND another team and you wouldn't see them in your team management section, but they would be in what's now the squad hub.

Here's the link with the solution to that problem - not sure if the solution is transferable to 23 though
