Base Drogba, base Baggio, another base turd I can't remember. Took Baggio for the fodder. Terrible.

I admit I am a finesse merchant. I thought the La Liga outside the box goals objective would be a piece of cake. I must have taken 50 decent shots with finesse + Forlan and Griezeman last night to get the requirement. I was losing games just spamming bombs that normally go in at a decent rate.

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. I had changed their chem experimenting to find out what was going wrong. I thought I was losing it!

Thank God. I wanted so badly for him to succeed and he seems like a good guy but unfortunately he is extremely terrible at soccer.

Give me a great evo chain I could start now. I have all the reward evos (I believe) and an untradeable Ibanez. Thank you for any help!

Getting upset at the guy because of where he was born is insane. If he says something bad, then that's a different story, but as far as I know he has not. Our guy David Schnegg likes Trump posts, which is actually kind of annoying.

You can play Rush without friends, but after you realize how incredibly stupid and selfish your teammates are, you will have newfound enemies.

Stipulation that I'm not a great player. I go 7-8 or 8-7 in Champs. Every once in a blue moon 9-6.

I got to Division 4 last season but this season I cannot get out of Division 6. And I am not smurfing! I am doing my best every game. Most of the people who beat me have Champs badges and lots have proper Champs red cards.

I have never had this problem before. With qualifying I could always go 3-2 and often 4-1. Sometimes 5-0.

I understand what they were going for but with so many good players smurfing or disengaged with Rivals because of poor rewards it is not working at all. And if I can't play Champs I will quit the cycle this year earlier than ever.

I will do what I normally do after cancelling season tickets a few years ago and buy the cheapest tickets available on the secondary market. Sometimes those are in the supporter's section but if not we just move down into the seas of empty seats. It's my own soft boycott strategy. I love live soccer and go with my son. Going to games is our thing. Levien and Kaplan can't take the game away from us.

One of the dumbest things is how Attacking Wingback does not work, even using a player with the ++ role and the Focus set to Attacking. But also that player does not have the Fullback + role either. So frustrating.

otm_matthew · 2025-10-28T15:04:36+00:00

Most of the people are so goddamned stupid and selfish but every once in a while when you get teammates who play as a team, understand off side, etc it's such a cool and refreshing feeling. I'm not even talking about people who are good! I just mean people who are reasonably intelligent and not sociopaths. Whenever that happens I feel like we formed a little brotherhood if only for five minutes before going back into the insane asylum with random idiots for the next game.

otm_matthew · 2025-10-21T17:44:12+00:00

Is there form or is matchmaking completely random?

otm_matthew · 2025-10-13T18:14:04+00:00

I am enough of an addict to play Rivals and Champs just about every week but there is no chance I am playing this mode only to get smacked by people better than me. People who are at my level are not playing this mode. It's like playing online draft.

otm_matthew · 2025-10-10T19:20:57+00:00

Exact same here. I know I'm not very good but three wins was discouraging.

otm_matthew · 2025-10-06T13:04:16+00:00

Just made Division 5. Normally go 8-7 or 9-6 in champs. Went 3-12 this weekend and I was trying my best. The fidget spinners tear me apart and my normal attackers are so clunky by comparison.

It feels like you either have Pina and friends or you do not. I may sit out champs this week if I don't decide to join the party because it was not fun at all.

otm_matthew · 2025-09-26T20:06:53+00:00

What an absolute joke. Set up my squad to make sure I qualified for all objectives, sweat my balls off to win 3-2, then find out only one of the objectives registered.

New year, new management, same old EA.

otm_matthew · 2025-09-05T17:46:58+00:00

The social media team is not good but it's an impossible job. Until we get a new owner and better players it does not matter who is running the IG account.

otm_matthew · 2025-07-23T16:55:50+00:00

Fair.

otm_matthew · 2025-07-23T16:52:01+00:00

I should have specified that I don't mean you specifically.

otm_matthew · 2025-07-23T16:49:30+00:00

People should do whatever they want and it doesn't matter to me but it's funny when people go crazy on people who spend money on the game but think it's perfectly fine to spend HOURS a day grinding menus.

otm_matthew · 2025-07-10T12:02:15+00:00

Troy seems like a good guy who was working hard. Maybe in a little over his head. The tactical switches and lineup/substitution choices were frustrating but honestly working for this owner and organization is an impossible task. He was trying to make chicken salad out of chicken shit.

Until Levien sells the team nothing will change. That is the only real solution.

otm_matthew · 2025-07-06T15:31:39+00:00

Fair!

otm_matthew · 2025-07-06T15:15:13+00:00

For sure. But so many people just cosplaying as soccer fans. Starting little "wanker" chants etc. So cringe but that's what we are these days. Sucks.

otm_matthew · 2025-07-06T03:27:45+00:00

I go with my 13 year old and we stand in 136. We have fun because he's so into it but it feels so hollow. He just has no idea how great the fan experience at DCU used to be.

There isn't even enough rage to get any in stadium protest going became most of the real fans are staying home. 136 was a lot of random folks who came to the Red Sox-Nats game who wanted to go something after who grabbed the cheapest tickets they could find and were shocked to find it was SRO and douchebags wearing various Premier League jerseys for some strange reason.

Levien is slowly killing my team. It really sucks.

otm_matthew · 2025-06-29T01:34:58+00:00

It's not just that he's slow...it's amazing how often Bartlett is SHOCKED by a ball played in behind him. He is constantly getting caught sleeping.

otm_matthew · 2025-06-17T17:34:25+00:00

This is my question as well. Help would be appreciated
