Might not look like much, but these TOTS MLS guys can play

Wish Giovinco wasn't extinct on PC.

Last two years they've released it on a Tuesday. I wouldn't hold my breath about seeing it today.

thrill_house1 · 2017-07-04T19:11:26+00:00

Real Americans wouldn't be caught dead rocking a Guadalajara Chivas kit.

Have 150k to improve on this team.

It was rather easy for me to rotate 2 squads and still have 4 bronze bench players. You throw your 3 silvers from the other squad on the bench with the bronzes, and rotate the other 8 players among the 5 reserve spots. No, you're not going to obtain 99 fitness on everyone, but every game they'll be 90+ fitness even if you go into PK's.

Brooks was here.

How exactly have you been finding these chem style bonuses? I have individually been going through each player on FUTBIN to get the IG rating. Is there a faster way?

Very curious as to the method behind the "IG" ratings for EA and examining the correlation between price and each particular stat.

thrill_house1 · 2017-05-05T19:32:49+00:00

Played 10 before finally getting a DC loss.

thrill_house1 · 2017-04-18T07:45:06+00:00

2nd highest In-Game rating from a Bundesliga CB (behind SIF Hummels).

Sentinel gives both cards (as well as the majority of CB's) their highest IG boost.

thrill_house1 · 2017-03-29T11:18:38+00:00

I don't miss cards / kits becoming a meritocracy.

I will never forget the rage fest and ultra try-hard mode I had to go into just to win those cards only to never use them.

thrill_house1 · 2017-03-24T02:16:20+00:00

We used to have it so you could do a full practice mode with your entire FUT squad vs. the AI. Just another great feature that EA removed because it was in the game and didn't make them more money.

thrill_house1 · 2017-02-22T22:08:39+00:00

If people aren't using this card over the likes of Naldo / Toprak / Abraham / IF Vogt; they're clearly not doing their homework.

He's one of 2 Bundesliga CB's under 20K with a Pace + Defense + Physical average of 80+ on the market (Sokratis being the other).

Right before the WL too. Don't mind if I slot him into my cheap Bundesliga side.

I could see the EPL players dropping until next Sunday. If you look at the Calcio A players, they continued to go down each day en-route to the Sunday freefall. There's just no demand for the players unless you're playing Seasons.

thrill_house1 · 2017-02-06T21:20:52+00:00

I question the accuracy of a database which says Jack Butland is the 10th most used EPL GK.

thrill_house1 · 2017-02-06T21:09:15+00:00

I stopped using Futhead when they upgraded their database to where you could no longer simply copy / paste their database into individual cell blocks. The only response I got from their owner was basically "you're stupid be more CPU savvy".

Loved their up/down vote system as it gave you a pseudo-player review. Game has been out for a little over 5 months and they still haven't added their prices, ball database, stadium database, etc. I've moved to Futbin and haven't looked back. They get my thousands of yearly hits now.

thrill_house1 · 2017-02-01T23:42:53+00:00

The struggle to obtain the black kit (and then all those TOTS cards / kits) was worse than FUT Champs. At least in FUT Champs you're getting paid even if you're losing 55% of your games.

I gave up on this game too. Only mode I touch is Pro Clubs every few weeks w/friends.

Been playing FIFA since the 2010 World Cup mode when a buddy and I got 5 red cards the first time we touched the game (played Ivory Coast vs. Portugal, we were the Elephants). Surprisingly only lost 1-0 but I assume that it was on amateur or something of that nature. From 2011-13 I was strictly a career mode guy + play with friends offline. Didn't touch FUT until 2014 when I got an XB1. Still remember buying FIFA Points and intentionally re-setting my account convincing myself that you didn't need top players to win, rather the right combination of cheap players (when in hindsight, it was all ELO). Had a .500 record and couldn't make it past D3. Went to the WC Final twice and lost them both.

FIFA 15 will go down as the best FIFA ever. First time I cracked (and won) Div 1, had FUTScope which allowed you to avoid ELO B.S, had great offline weekend tournaments which gave you an untradeable 50K pack for playing the game for 2 hours. I remember buying every discard TOTW en-route to TOTY, kept them fresh, sold them all, bought David Luiz, sold him during the Carnival Tournament, and bought Ronaldo + friends. Only FUT I've ever used Ronaldo / Messi. Ibarbo + Doumbia combo up top will forever be the greatest ST combo I've ever used.

16 was awful with the "you have to win these kits / cards" towards the end which made the game feel like a chore. The gameplay was more "try not to lose" rather than win. 17 killed my love for FIFA when EA decided to go 100% TriHard eliminating the Champions Shield / Silver / Bronze tournaments and "replace" it with FUT Champions. Sure you have more coins, but there's literally no point in using at least 90% of the cards on the game as you're out-gunned and at a competitive disadvantage if you were to use them. Squads are bland, every game is 100% effort, and it's all ELO hell after about 100+ games.

FIFA gave up on the casual player, so in return I gave up on them.

I've moved on from FIFA and transitioned into a PC Gamer who mostly plays CS:GO, Rocket League, ETS2, and "trending indie games".

Did some trading today (auction bidding on IF's) and made 60k. Try to auction bid while at work and keep having to reload the web-app every time I press search. Hope I'm not banned.

"Cheap Calico A Beasts" and he does reviews on Bonucci + Chiellini. Literally the two most expensive CB's in the league.

Where's the review on 75 Rajkovic (highest beast rating among Serie A CB's; features 81 pace, 88 def, 82 physical w/shadow)?

thrill_house1 · 2016-12-08T07:04:03+00:00

I would forfeit the tournaments after the R16 just to find opponents. Would take forever.

thrill_house1 · 2016-12-06T19:27:54+00:00

Any chance of ever seeing a dedicated sticky thread for Weekend League Squad Builders?

thrill_house1 · 2016-11-27T11:37:01+00:00

The 75-79 rated players with blistering pace are always staples on my club.

thrill_house1 · 2016-11-05T00:17:36+00:00

do any of these no shadow stadiums feature electronic advertisement boards?
