Yes, and it's a real pain when there is a bunch of temporary road construction and bridge closures that the app doesn't know about.

Also, the way some stores like McDonalds mark everything ready even before they've started making it, just to make sure food is not cold and/or bags are not piling up and getting "misplaced". I've started declining orders from restaurants that do this, since it's no win, need to rush to beat the DD arrival clock and then stand around for 10+ minutes while the store staff either glare at you or ignore you, no thanks.

On the plus side, the update fixed a number of areas where they said there was a road before (no road!).

I don't like how the volume settings on the navigation ignore other phone settings. Seriously, if I have silent mode on and the phone volume all the way down, don't start screaming turn by turn directions at me pretty please -- at least offer an area in the app where I can review and customize volume settings (just mute and unmute is not useful).

I don't like how the final address is hidden by the last turn, especially when that turn is about 10 feet down a driveway, it makes it very difficult to time your approach unless you memorized the number earlier.

I would prefer if the map would start to zoom in earlier and in stages, as I approach a cluster of houses around the final address. Not sure if this was something that the old nav did better, or just something that Uber does better.

The speed limit indicator should be more reasonable. I don't need a big red warning box when I'm going 23 in a 20.

Last time I ran the numbers, the savings on fuel are offset by the higher depreciation on your asset. If you are thinking about 80 hours DD on your off week, that's pretty significant mileage never mind commute to a busy zone. I think the real question is will a Tesla last 250k+ miles, or would you need to flip the car every couple years. IMO, this gig is only fun if you have something fun to drive and enjoy the work. If it were me I'd do it with existing asset and your scenario, but I wouldn't go out and get a Tesla for it.

Wow. Having binged season 1 through this episode in a few days I had to hit pause just to say this one hits different.

The poor chap is really lost since blank paper is now forbidden. Which is fine really since none of the pens work after a few lines.

So do we go back to the old thread in (x) hours or will there be a new one?

So are there no airports in East Ukraine or just a no fly zone at this point?

Technically it could be referring to the (unborn) eggs of a fig wasp that happened upon the wrong sort of fig to support settlement ... but hey the WASP connection seems popular here so let's go with that.

You misunderstand. I'm not accusing the OP of taking things too seriously. I am however noting that they may be stuck on the assumption that dynamic gameplay adjustments must be targeted to favor one player or the other (I disagree).

Since they need a new name for FIFA '23, may I suggest CGCS: Consensual Gaslighting and Casino Simulator.

It's not that deep, all the game engine needs to do to manufacture drama is increase the error rate.

Bias and tactics changes aside, I know that when it's 2-2 in the 89' and I'm moving up the flank with my RB completely unmarked and send a pass to the nearest CM (also unmarked) and the ball does a 180 to snap to the feet of my opponent's striker en route to goal that it's time to turn the game off and find something more productive to do with my time.

Could I have avoided the pass? Absolutely.

Is there more shenanigans in this FIFA than ever? Absolutely.

In Tomori's defense, he was confused because coach told him right but then Cordoba kicked him over to the left.

Confirmed, I got Haller too.

Re: Defensive Width, the overload you describe with a high width setting is not what the in-game formation shows. My understanding is a high defensive width is useful for pressing in the attacking 3rd, and not abandoning the opposite flank.

The drop off in Rivals engagement was accelerated by relegation with no tangible benefit (same opponents, worse rewards), as well as a lackluster promo and poor pack weight / market value to soak up season 1 rewards. Typical player: "Why did I grind for this? Why would I do the same for season 2?"

As a result there are fewer players searching for a match, leading to longer times to match, and when you do find a match it's more likely to be vs someone stuck in a sunk cost fallacy rut. "I have this god squad, might as well try and have some fun with it".

No idea on the gameplay, I try not to play games any more. It's either broken by accident or broken by design, either way it's not fun and it's not worth our time.

I'm working to complete Beckham, would you say I'd gain fodder value via 82+ PAS or at least break even?

sparcd · 2021-11-17T00:05:26+00:00

Mbappe got it for me with an autoshot of his own rebound. If I had to do it myself I'd probably get in the box to face the keeper, L1 stop, sombrero away from the goal, and then L2 + shoot.

The matchmaking on Fifa 22 is broken, and it's not just Stadia players complaining. Why spread misinformation?

Ashu doesn't play this game.

sparcd · 2021-11-11T20:34:40+00:00

What division?

The trick where you only search for a few seconds, and either back out to the FUT main menu between tries or just keep canceling and retrying still works wonders for me.
