yeah it's a painfully slow grind without hourglasses

I also feel like it’s all rng for the matches

Especially if you want to complete some of those tasks. Faster to just gg and restart

Also one thing that really annoys me, going “first” you get a turn without energy…to me it’s better to go “second”, bc you can attack first.

matches in the current state are completely random and a matter of luck
no matchmaking at all and as a noob you're facing meta decks where you stand no chance. a ranking mode is needed badly

Also one thing that really annoys me, going “first” you get a turn without energy…to me it’s better to go “second”, bc you can attack first.

it depends, going first always has the advantage that you can set up faster

for example, if you're playing a celebi deck and want to develop serperior as quickly as possible, it's worth giving up the first/one attack as you will usually have the upper hand with celebi and serperior on the board

I've been playing confortably level 5 and 6 on efootball, in portuguese its called Craque and Superastro.

The 7... legend level is impossible. If you wanna screw with your nervs, thats the level.

I'm still not owning the 'legend' level. But I am getting there, without buying any cards. Kinda stressful tho.

If you dont have crazy players the best way to play against high level AI is to just keep as much possession as possible and build up slowly. And keep your CDM on deep line.
I like to put sole control and one touch pass on all my players, sole control makes them feel a lot more responsive in tight places and one touch pass stops them from playing those bennacer type passes that are ripe for intercepting

I'm gonna keep that in mind. 15 Feb will make one year that I've been playing this game and I'm still didn't reach the top.

Thanks for the tips Andre

@Pigeon I was about to quit this bullshit ass game, since the updates I have gotten absolute rotten draws. No ex, no full art cards, and damn near the same basic shit I had for like more than a week noe

But this morning:

I’ve been trying to “outsmart” the game by only picking the new expansion on wonderpicks.

I thought it would be better odds but the old booster packs been giving me absolute shit they prolly anticipated ppl like me

i guess outsmarting the game works just as well as winning by cutting out the middleman

i'm only missing 18 cards in the old booster, so odds are hell for me. was only pulling duplicates and stopped with new expansion. wasn't worth wasting the hourglasses on it

Yea I came in the game late and don’t have most of those cards

@Pigeon any cool pulls from the shining pack?

My luck in this game is as good as Milan’s play right now, so I’ve been just letting my kids do the booster pack opening since they get excited no matter what they get

charizard-ex and lucario-ex, one of the better cards in the expansion i guess

i farmed around +300 hourglasses the last few weeks and therefor had 3 10 pack openings in a row. only missing 13 cards now

so I just got a bunch of hourglasses coming in from trading in the tickets

Though I’ve been spacing it out so I don’t let my kids do more than 1 turn

I did that once, and instead of being excited they started shitting on the dupes and common cards they got

that's so real nothing worse than pulling a stinky card like ponyta for the 20th time

Commons would suck less if they made it so the most upgraded version was used when put into a deck. I have a bunch of cards maxed out w cool flairs but I never use them cause I just forget to go back and click on the thing and select them. It feels like too much work to go through everything for it

Or that if you max out flair at least you should be able to trade it in for trade currency.

Most of these are completely pointless

netherlands banned loot boxes afaik, that’s probably why it’s banned there

create an US account, download the game (via VPN) and switch back to your main account. that should work

[Fusiproe12]

I upgraded everything on my gaming setup:

New GPU: RTX 5070 Ti
New CPU: Intel Ultra 7 265k
New Motherboard: Aorus Pro Z890
New "Monitor": Samsung Oled 48" S94D (144Hz)

I bought a new case but I'm missing some screws to mount the extra fans lol

so I'm staying with the old one, since the temperatures are very low

Awesome playing, for example, racing games such as Forza Horizon 5, Forza Motorsport, F1 24 and Grid Legends with max settings in 4k at 140 fps

And a huge thanks to Xbox GamePass (Mario Kart World / Gran Turismo 7 80€ lol)

ended up tryina play fifa from a laptop with no gamepad available and thought to myself: huh I wonder how well I'd do playing from the keyboard after 20 years of using controllers. had to google how to turn off mouse controls cause it wouldnt let me rebind some buttons

surprisingly there's still some muscle memory and since it was my first time playing kickoff it had dynamic difficulty which was nice cause it gave me a half to sorta figure stuff out. i ended up winning 4-3 and it settled on world class. it felt 20% nostalgic, 80% pure fkin anger for reference i can easily do 5 goal wins on legendary squad battles, that's part of y i wanted to try playing so i'd get myself some points for the week at least on professional or sth

defending is literal torture, fine passing is impossible and 1-2s made my pinky and ring finger cramp up. i set everything up like it was back when i was a kid with wasd controls and qecz for modifiers. i do think i should have switched from the new defending to the old one that let you chase players by holding buttons, but yeah the games havent really been "on rails" for a while now so only being able to use 4 directions makes everything feel hopeless

4/10 would not recommend

Playing Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order

I was going crazy because I couldn't do parkour where it was clearly possible, so I started exploring and unlocked the skill just by following brightly colored little animals in a hidden area

Really cool, this is how games should be; combat system is good too but a little bit too repetitive and simplified
