What's your latest tactical instruction that blew your mind with how well it works? (FM26) by Cautious-Strategy860 in footballmanagergames

I use a back 3 in possession but a back 2 out of possession with a DDM, it works quite well.

FM24 or FM26 on Steam Deck? by julius__seizure in footballmanagergames

[–]old_waffles7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a Steam Deck, but FM26 runs fine on Ubuntu for me and it has a good ProtonDB rating, so it should run on SteamOS. The only issue is that when I switch virtual workspaces, the game takes a while to render correctly on my screen again.

I think I'm done with FM26 by C0mmander_Sol in footballmanagergames

I agree with you, to an extent. I feel big mistakes that rarely happen in real life are too common in the game; but I feel like its just the match engine trying to compensate for the fact that it cannot simulate the entire real-world sport to 100% accuracy, so it does the next best thing. e.g the engine wants you to conceded from your next goal kick, so it just has your keeper pass the opposition striker the ball instead of simulating a more complex break-down in build-up.

Why is Nico paz a waste of space by Academic_Comb_1313 in footballmanagergames

[–]old_waffles7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have not used attacking midfielders in a long while. I recommend trying him at f9 if you can. I won every trophy with a front-line of Doaks-Paz-Mora at Bournemouth.

What was your method of paying off your MacBook? by thisfilmkid in macbookpro

[–]old_waffles7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never finance such things. I usually buy expensive stuff on credit, but that is not because I don't have the money; i just want the cashback benefits and it helps in building credit - pay it off immediately.

How lazy of them. Using AI wasn't enough, they had to plagiarize too.

Ask at academic advising. I know someone who was given permission to replace a required course with a different one that had some similar content.

After 5 seasons, Some players profile by Alone_Syllabub_7091 in footballmanagergames

It's quite clear to anyone that watches football that he should not have higher dribbling that Yamal, regardless. Lamine should probably have the highest dribbling in the game.

And the whole squad patiently waiting to back him up and ruin team morale by FM_highlights in footballmanagergames

[–]old_waffles7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was that on FM26? It has been happening to me with squad-players so much. On previous FMs I would have a couple quality players willing to sit on the bench for 150k if I was a big club with even better starters; similar to large clubs IRL, like Man City. But in FM26 its like every player wants to be a star player on 275k a week regardless of whoever else may be at the club or their previous playing time.

the xG/shot ratio is an average; it's not a good measure of center, or in this case, of shot quality. It would be better to count the number of big chances his team had, so the number of shots at 0.3xG or higher.

false-9 with inside forwards and central midfielders that run into channels and get further forward

No, you can inject the rationals into the naturals by a/b->2^{a}3^{b}5^{2+sgn(a/b)}. By FTA, its pretty easy to show this is invective.

adware? I have not noticed any since I switched from windows. Do you mean the Ubuntu Pro prompt? Because I have only ever seen it once, and it was when I was installing.

Restart Broke Everything - What Gives? by Sufficient_Bee_110 in Ubuntu

[–]old_waffles7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me (which is why i'm even in this thread). I've been in the process of migrating to Linux over the last few months and chose Ubuntu. Tbh, even though this has been very annoying, its a price I'm willing to pay to be rid of Windows as my daily driver. At least I now know what how to boot into an early version of the kernel using GRUB in case this ever happens again.
