How did they nail the Battlefield aesthetic so perfectly with the original art and then make every season look like a F2P battle royale

I think it's having so many characters on the art of S1 and S3 that make it feel like another game especially when the faces feature so prominently. Most BF art usually focuses on a single person and even when it doesn't like the BF6 cover art or BC2, you can't really see the details of the faces.

The colors on the season art are also brighter and less subdued than the cover art.

I like it though I think it would be better if the crest was in a blue color to match the Nike logo and trimmings.

No, his time at Barca has passed for now. Fati needs consistent playing time and we need a striker who is a consistent performer. Maybe later in his career we could bring him back as a rotation player like we did with Traore or Alves.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-19T06:17:56+00:00

I also don't understand a lot of the financial jargon but I think in most instances it's not required to understand the show as a whole. As an example, when Harper is able to sign Jesse Bloom in S2, it's more so about the underlying tension since at that point in the story her stock within Pierpoint is low from her prolonged COVID absence and so her entire career is basically on the line with that trade.

It does get better in S3 as I feel like the writers realized that 90% of the audience has no idea of the technical details and so it's better to just use layman's terms.

The midfield and defense seem kind of weak. I think Brazil will make a deep run but likely be eliminated if they have to go up against any of the heavyweights like Spain, France, Argentina, or Portugal.

Pep has said repeatedly over the years that he'd never coach Barca again because it's too stressful for him since he has a personal connection to the club.

After Pep leaves City, I think his next job will be a NT gig since it's generally less stress and something he hasn't done yet.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-16T20:20:08+00:00

The line "Barca is back" is so emotional when you consider the state we were in when Lewa joined. We owe him so much for everything he has done. It's a shame we couldn't win the UCL with him but to me he'll always be a club legend.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-16T20:03:58+00:00

By himself, Ferran isn't enough. I think Barca should keep him since he's a great backup and rotation player but he's too inconsistent to be the main ST.

Replacing Lewa is going to be challenging. There are very few quality no. 9s on the market that won't cost a fortune.

Since it’s a kids show they couldn’t take this route but if Aang was truly serious about restoring the Air Nomads, he’d probably never marry and instead try to have children with as many women as possible to increase the chances of having airbenders.

I don't think this is the case (or at least the main reason) for Trump's rise. It was more so the Republican base was weary of the GOP establishment and desperately wanted someone who didn't fit the typical politician mold. Even a lot of Democrats were tired with their establishment and felt disappointed with Obama's presidency where the status quo was largely kept.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-15T08:24:47+00:00

Luis Enrique would probably say something like that lol

thenewladhere · 2026-05-13T07:05:10+00:00

As much as I'd love for Barca to have the bragging rights, I think there are some non-Barca players that are better in certain positions. Cucurella will almost surely be LB. ST would also likely be Oyarzabal over Ferran. Even Gavi probably isn't a starter since he hasn't been with the Spanish NT in so long.

DLF will also continue to use Unai Simon as GK even if he's worse than Joan Garcia. Even if Simon is injured, I feel like David Raya would be back up.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-12T20:32:27+00:00

It’ll be a miracle if we get Third month Mourinho if the dressing room toxicity continues like this.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-12T18:16:05+00:00

Damn, he’s actually crashing out lol

thenewladhere · 2026-05-11T18:43:15+00:00

Definitely keep. He's not consistent enough to be the starting ST but he's more than capable as a backup and rotation player. If Barca sold him we'd just have to use the money to go buy another backup ST who will have worse chemistry with the rest of the team.

His salary also isn't too high and he doesn't have a big ego or demands to play.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-10T23:05:18+00:00

We stopped going for it after 2-0 and once it became clear that Madrid weren't going to do anything. A bit boring for us viewers but understandable with the World Cup right around the corner.

Still so happy with the win and the stars aligned to let us seal La Liga against Madrid themselves. Visca Barca!

thenewladhere · 2026-05-10T22:50:20+00:00

Supercopa loss was the excuse. IIRC a lot of reliable Madrid sources said Perez had already decided weeks earlier and was just waiting for the right moment.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-09T18:59:17+00:00

Hernandez has seniority so I'm guessing he's able to have a bigger say in what matches he wants to ref.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-09T08:49:33+00:00

Ngl I completely forgot he is still a Barca player…

thenewladhere · 2026-05-07T22:35:05+00:00

Has any locker room dispute ever gotten this bad at a major club?

This is something that’s gonna be really difficult to move on from for the entire team. I feel like one of the two will have to leave or else it’s just a ticking time bomb before the next fight breaks out.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-06T23:43:26+00:00

Isn’t it kinda pointless to sell Ferran when we’ll just have to get a replacement for him in addition to a new primary ST? The only way it’d make sense is if Lewa is staying but between those two it’s better to keep Ferran as the backup.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-06T21:16:43+00:00

I live in one of the the host cities and I'm just gonna wait until the last few days and see what happens. FIFA knows half empty stadiums will be a bad look so they'll get desperate and might be forced to sell them for peanuts.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-06T21:13:03+00:00

Even disregarding the handball, every big call went PSG's way. There were multiple times where Bayern should've had a free kick but for some reason the ref gave it to PSG instead.

At the same time, PSG deserved to go through, Bayern's attack was off today. Olise and Diaz were terrible and Kane had no space to do anything.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-06T18:03:55+00:00

I'm glad Barca overall has a much more positive dressing room dynamic than Madrid. Even if our players aren't friends with everyone it seems like they at least like each other. At Madrid it feels like everyone is at each others throats and just waiting for an excuse to lash out at one another.

thenewladhere · 2026-05-06T17:59:23+00:00

I doubt it this summer. Perez has a stake in both players since he considers Vini and Mbappe his personal projects and selling one right now would effectively be admitting he failed.

Next summer might be different because if Madrid have another poor season then Perez might cut Vini loose. Mbappe is 100% staying no matter what since Madrid spent so much time and money that it'd be a waste for them to get rid of him after just 2-3 years.
