FIFA 21

Son is decent!

Am I right thinking a HL cards gets a one time upgrade if their team wins 4 in a row AND an upgrade every time they get an IF?

Yep that’s right

Edit: they’re also great to trade with as they get more expensive every time their team wins, but crash massively if their team loses or draws (which is the time to buy)
 
Well, Son is very fun to use, having to sub him on atm but will likely build a prem team. Already scored a couple of long-range crackers off the bar and bouncing down and in :)
 
Try my best not to moan but the gameplay this last few days for me has been nothing short of a disaster. Could be EA could be my internet, my manual tackles are just getting glitches through on the regular and the game is so slow it's just laughable.

I'm getting a lot of red packet loss/bad ping etc symbols

I see a lot of tripe and don't say anything but the last 3 or 4 days it's been stupidly slow, my passing is just so off its unbareable my skill moves aren't registering and the most annoying is when I tackle an attacker and it literally is glitching back through and straight back to the forward. Feels so off compared to last week.
 
It's over powered but try and turn out of it, if not pass back to your keeper and l1 triangle to your striker with best heading stat.

Yeah, its also the folk who choose to press from their standard tactics as well

That would be me :)

I play that way because it's fun and also because it's very difficult if your being pressed. Best advice to defend it is patient dribbling maybe hug sideline tactics and try to ping a through ball like most do against me.

Went 12-3 currently pretty average
 
I remember the TwoSync guys saying why do we have to have scripting in the game, why can't we just win the games where we play better and lose the ones where we're worse.

I'd guess the fact a lot of people would stop playing because they lose too much (and therefore there's little chance they'd buy packs). But it does make me think, by the law of averages we probably each benefit from scripting as much as it screws us over. So if it just came down to skill, I wonder how many of use would end up losing more games than we currently do?

You TwoSync biggest fan? :D

Those guys are painful, if your saying it averages out then why would you end up losing more? I'd say it depends how good the player is personally. Gold 2 and up would probably not lose as many but below that would lose more. That being said I don't necessarily think there's scripting, but I do believe in momentum.

No, they mostly irritate me, but it can be funny if they don't do well.

I guess it's a fair point, if things even out then I guess you probably would win about as many as you do now.
I don't know if I'd call it scripting or what, but there is something at play, my player can feel so different from one game to the next or even just within a game like a switch has been pressed or something (or it least in Fifa 20, not played much Fifa 21).

That your experiencing is what I think is server based. I also experience the same think. I also thing depending on what tactics the opponent's using has an impact on your players. It absolutely shouldn't but constant pressure for example turns then into uncomposed messes.

It's definitely scripted and it has been for years.

Explain to me how people go 30-0 if it's predetermined?

Not pre-determined, don't think anyone said that. Just handicapped in favour of one player. So one players misses shots and the other scores everything they shoot even with the weak foot of a 2* WF player from a distance out. rebounds going to them at both ends, passes either being fast, accurate and even if they go to the wrong player actually working out rather than through balls dragging your strikers out to the corner flags. Things like that.
And the reason people can still get 30-0 is that they're good enough to manage this and play around it (I find there are portions of the game where the effects feel worse than others, so they can play safe during the bad times and then push during the better times). Didn't Tekkz basically come out in one of the Fifa 20 events and basically say there was scripting in the game and all the pros knew it?

No-one said pre-determined. That's not what scripting is, it's "game shaping" if you can't see this going on over the years you've played FIFA then I don't know what to tell you. EA and Activison have patents etc for systems designed to drive "engagement" and have had for years, and therefore drive spending, now whether these systems are actually implemented directly following the patent doesn't really matter, as it shows intent, and is definitely shows in EA's case that they're shaping games (Madden is exactly the same by the way).

A fair game for every player all the time is going to lead the people who aren't very good/dedicated/know the exploits and the meta's to keep losing and they'll quit, that's bad for business.

FIFA is scripted, Madden is scripted and that's just simple reality, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy the games, it just means the games are bent.
