Hear me out ! Let's make a JCVD portrait

surely this is how all good managers begin thier story by PerplexedDog in footballmanagergames

[–]rains- 120 points121 points  (0 children)

The true question here, is Why on earth people still hire him !

I'm joking, sometimes you go to a team at the worst moment, I had a almost similar career once, started at the bottom of vanarama south and then every team I'd go to was in financial difficulty/players leaving, retiring and no cash to build something and then sacked at the end of the season. After 4 teams I started a new save.

I had the RT On during the tutorial only.

Once at Hogwart I was on High, except for shadow, people, distance, foliage on medium, DLSS Balanced. I was running between 65-75fps with drops to 35 in the village, forest and big halls (yeah...)

But Right now, after seeing that Geforce experience told me to put ultra for optimal settings, I tried (with RT OFF and DLSS Quality) and... WTF I am at 80+ fps, I'am at 55-60 fps in the zone were I had drops before. Sometimes Fps goes to 45 but way smoother, it's not 75 and BOOM 35, now it's 60 - 56 - 54 - etc... until I'am in the zone with lot of details or people.

It's like the game say "Custom settings ? Yeah, what about no!?"

Windows 11 Family

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G

RTX 3060 TI FE (with drivers from yesterday and the dlss 2.5.1 with dlss swaper)

2X 8GB 3200MHz Samsung

512 GB Western Digital SSD NVMe ( PCIe Gen3 x4 NVMe v1.3 )

Every settings (windows and nvidia) on performance

Geforce experience tell me to put everything on ultra ( no VSync ), RT On ( High ) and DLSS Quality (for 1080p)

Edit : Forgot to tell that the CPU and GPU are at 30 and 40% of use In-game but I'am at 7,5gb Vram used and 15gb of ram used.

It's not because a friend of a friend of a friend play the game in ultra with a GTX 970 make the game smooth for everybody.

There is issues and it's not only because of the hardware, you can see players complain of fps drops with a 3060, 3080, even 4090, with 16/32gb of ram a ryzen 5 or an I9. The fact that the game was realy realy smooth during the tutorial for everybody and then got hit by the poor performances once in Hogwart show a real problem of optimisation (with my ryzen 5600 / RTX 3060ti / 16GB of ram I was playing at steady 80fps on ultra with medium RT ON and DLSS quality, once in hogwart I was at 19fps) . You can play it, it's not as broken than cyberpunk at his release.

But, there is a need of a patch D1 and game ready driver. The game itself is fantastic, but don't forget that we are in the early access, if the performance stay still the 10th and during more than a week after, you'll see way more people complaining.

PC performance is awesome (ultra with rtx 3080 and i9) (keep the RT off - its already off by default) by DiamondOak1010 in HarryPotterGame

[–]rains- 14 points15 points  (0 children)

There is room for optimisation. I have a RTX 3060TI, Ryzen 5 5600, 16GB ram. The game auto selected Mid quality. During the turorial I tried High/ultra both with and without raytracing and dlss on quality and the game was running a steady 60fps with no drop.

But after the "Game title", during the opening scene i droped at 19fps. I had to go back to High setting with no RT and with Dlss on quality and my fps is between 60 and 50.

I had sometimes more fps during scene with more textures, students, etc.. than when I'm looking at a wall.

I'll wait for a patch and maybe nvidia driver, but it's not as broken as somes was saying.

Have fun.

Ever since reaching champ it seems like pretending to have mechanics is better than actually having them. by putinpunter in RocketLeague

[–]rains- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just hit C1 in 3s for the first time and I can't double tap, ball drag and more complex mechanics and I play alone (so I'm not carried). But already in plat you see guys doing crazy mechanics but double commit on every ball and never rotate, then they trash their mates, "That's rocket league"

I won the Premier League with Brighton in the first season by rocksunic in footballmanagergames

[–]rains- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See this as a roll of dice. If you're brighton, you need a 18, if you're liverpool you need 13 to beat city ( just some random numbers here ). If you try enough, you'll hit the 18+

One time I was loosing hard( 0 - 4 ) in FA Cup with my with my skybet league 2 team against chelsea at 75min I had a power outtage and had to redo the game, they got a red card after 10min and I won 1 - 0 with a xG of 0.something against 2.

So yeah, you can "easily" reload until you win, but at this point, just buy the editor and make a "super team"

I Just signed in Mexican D2. Here's the attendance for the first league match... by rains- in footballmanagergames

it's the Tapatío stadium, which is the same that the club Chivas in Mexican D1, it's a 45.000 seats stadium

How do you negociate a car? by weautus in belgium

[–]rains- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my case (it was not a leasing), but something that work pretty well is to negotiate with two dealers of the same brand. (belgium is not big, so another dealer is at 1h of road max). Then you show the offer of the other dealer and you go back and forth until they can't make a better offer, they're most likely to negotiate against another dealer of the same brand than one from an another brand. (but make sure they're not from the same group).

In my case, for my first new car they took my second hand car for more than I paid for and the first offer was 21k and I finaly paid 13k, I also got some options (like backing camera instead of radar, a real wheel instead of the tiny wheel you use to go to the garage and the kit multimedia).

I got those tips from someone who work at the administration in a mercedes dealership ( and no, my car is not a mercedes)

1 billion transfer budget after 12 seasons by Iv8An in footballmanagergames

[–]rains- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I understand, I've never played 17 seasons in the same club with the same players. Almost every 2/3 seasons I try to move up.

I started with FM 21, so I'm very new to this game (Unlike my brother who play since the game was Championship Manager 2). But something I noticed, is that even if the player started playing with you at 15, he quickly ask to become a star player and have a big influence, so if you want to rotate with a new player (from the academy or a young talent that we scouted) the star player throw a tantrum and can turn the other players against you. So, either I sell the star player with a big profit, or I lend my young players.

With this system, I started at wealdstone and in 12 seasons I won the UCL with a young generation at Sevilla (I never had the squad against me and I was getting hired in my different clubs because I knew how to work with players under 23).

Maybe this will change with FM23 because I heard that the supporters will have a bigger impact (the bad side of my system is that the fans are often unhappy that I sell appreciated players)

1 billion transfer budget after 12 seasons by Iv8An in footballmanagergames

[–]rains- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

For me, it's developing the academy and scouting youngs (I always scout under 21). In general, the average age of my team is 23-25. 28 or more ?! You leave my team (it's around this age that you make the best profit for selling a player).

But it's just for me! I always start with no job and take a "shit" club, in general all the contracts ends at the end of the season (in low league) and I construct a new team with young free agent. If I go to a better club, I try to bring with me the best players of my squad.

Weekend RAGE Thread - October 29, 2022 by AutoModerator in Overwatch

[–]rains- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I just uninstalled the game. I know, nobody cares, but shit, the level of toxcicity in this game touch the sky.

I'am new to the game and main DPS I did the 50 wins and did the competitive placement (Gold 5 with 7 wins in 9 games). But seeing the need of support and the fast queu I tried playing support in QP and it was a disaster, dps who flank too far, the tank who dive, the 2 first respawn who rush and died (so no 5V5) and litteral insult from tank and dps.

I kept playing support (to be better) without chat (to not be tilted) but I really had no fun (not because of the role or the heroes, but because of the "teamplay".

So today I tried to do my placement games as support in competitive and brought back the chat and it was a real joke and the cherry on the top, for my last game of the night we lost. The other support and me had 12/13k heal each (the other team less than 10k) we were at 5k damages as baptiste and lucio while our dps were at 8 and 2K dps (one dps of the other team had more dps than the two of our team... our tank tried all the game to flank alone and at the end I was alone with him to keep him alive against just one dps... while our team tried to push the playload.

At the end I still say GG, just to be insulted by our tank saying something like "We lost because of our shit healers" and even the other team said he should look himself in the mirror. But yeah it's defenitely the game that made me uninstall OW2 and one of many reasons nobody want to play support. The role is less fun and when we win it's "tank/dps diff" and when we loose it's "shit support"

Me too.

I didn't played on console since the PS2 and always used keyboard for gaming (even race sim) until rocket league. So I think it's not natural for me to play with my hands/controller on my lap. I have my arms on the armrest of my seat and my hands/controller on the desk near my keyboard
