    FIFA 20 desperately needs a Dark Mode Background

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 03:45 PM PST

    I would very much appreciate if someone would bother to make us a simple mod for PC in order to play in dark mode. Something like that posted by another fellow reddit member (which was something like a bug that happened during playing and not an actual mod). I have to admit I tried that myself with Frosty Editor last night but in the end failed - almost - miserably mostly because of my 0 modding skills.

    I'm sure everyone's eyes will be forever greatfull to the person who may get into trouble doing us this grant favor. I mean common... look at this beauty.

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 12:48 PM PST

    I just entered a game where a kid paused and asked if he could score 5 goals with a player for some objective and let me win the game after he's done. Me, for a second forgetting what community I'm actually dealing with, lets him get the goals. He then go radio silent and full sweat, and obvs I lose the game.

    Honestly I couldn't care less about the loss in the end, but I really hate how toxic this community is and that we think it's ok to treat each other like trash.

    We already play one of the, if not the most frustrating game out there, so please don't make it worse by being a dick to others.

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 10:44 PM PST

    TOTY Alisson when I packed you, the gods I did thank

    But let's be honest here, you are kinda wank

    Base Roberto Carlos I will never forget the time

    You made that stoppage time clearance right off the line.

    Scream Pique you are not scary at all

    Tall, composed and intelligent you're my defensive wall.

    Van Dijk I originally thought you are overpriced

    When it comes to Centre Backs you are the Rolls Royce.

    Trent Alexander Arnold a true scouse lad

    The way you pass the ball, Xabi Alonso could be your dad.

    N'Golo Kante my little happy French boy

    Attacking forwards like a Rottweiler chasing a toy.

    Paul Pogba you're tall, skilful and tough

    But like Souness says I'm unsure you do enough.

    Kevin De Bruyne passing, assisting and making timely runs

    You always leave the defenders sitting on their bums

    TOTYN Mane the speedy African King

    You leave the Fullbacks for dead, running down the wing

    TOTYN Salah you really are top notch

    You bring me happy flashbacks of your awesome Ones To Watch

    POTM Suarez you're overlooked because you have no pace

    Opponents soon regret that when you bite down on their face

    The lootbox massacre of FIFA 20 and just how bad the FIFA system is.

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 03:06 PM PST

    So for the first time in fifa I've been properly battered. FIFA 20 has not been kind of me in terms of tradable rewards. While having similar results in weekend league I'm essentially around 4 to 5 million coins behind where my account was in FIFA 17-19 at this point. Now it could be that pack weights in FIFA 20 has just been reduced to nothing, seeing how they've completely shanked the economy with untradable packs and terrible coinsinks but I'm not here to argue that because there is literally no proof so it's meaningless to try and speculate in stuff like that. However what I can bring is numbers and it's a pretty bad, it's really bad.

    Even the most greedy companies have some sort of way to get value out of what you're buying. In hearthstone you get a pity timer for the first 10 packs of a certain set, in MTG you'll get some kind of value out of a box if you choose to buy one. I know that it's possible to not get a mythic in a box for example but in my 25 years of playing magic I've never had a complete dud box, there is something in there. Even in the gatcha style games that are currently dominating the lootbox market there are obvious "Pity timers" where if you don't pull what you want enough times the game will just give you something decent, it might cost you an arm and a leg but they will get you there.

    In fifa however there seems to be absolutely zero pity timers, saftey nets or catch ups. This is quite frankly insane and no wonders the dollare per player in FIFA is terrible compared to other markets. It's almost as if they are trying to not make as much money as they could be, but I digress, they still make a shit ton even if their potential is so, so much higher. That is a disucssion for another day, today I'm just breaking down the absolute insane ammount of coins you can plow into a broken system and get pretty much nothing in return.

    Currently my account is looking to break the 14 000 000 coins worth of packs opened.

    The breakdown is as follow, and it's not exact numbers but rather the average number from things like a draft win.

    Draft packs – 7 500 000 – worth of packs

    Weekend League – 4 000 000 worth of packs

    Marquee Match ups etc(calculated by having done all of them and going x the average MM worth) – 1 330 000

    Random SBCs – 800000

    So what I have I got to show for it? The most expensive tradable card I've pulled this year is Lenglet followed by Marcus Rashford. Yea. 14 million coins worth of packs and the best EA has given me in terms of tradable players is Lenglet and Rashford. If I had bought the FIFA points required to buy 14 million coins in the most effective manner possible in my region I would have to spend roughly 3050 dollars. 3050 dollars to have 83 Marcus Rashford be one of the highlights is not just daylight robbery it's an insult.

    Edit: There seem to be a missunderstanding, I am talking value here. so Lenglet went for 113k and Rashford for 93k. It's not that I havn't hit a walkout in 14000000 coins it's just that they tend to be the ones worth absolutely fuck all.

    It's remarkable that EA seem to regress, other companies find systems that are far more consumer friendly that yield a much larger dollar spent per player metric than FIFA, yet they cling to this outdated wilson's lootbox scam set up. Even though it's proven by several companies that it can be done in a better way for both the company and the consumer. Until then, don't buy fifa points.

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 07:28 PM PST

    It is the most ridiculous idea in the game, why would I need to pay more than what I earn for playing a match to make sure my players are in the highest level. It make no sense and it doesn't encourage people to play this game. This game feels old and not update with so many titles have gone, feels like dev have no passion in their own game and lazy and lack of balls to change things. Make ppl who are passionate about football disappointed. Fut need a revamp and dev need to listen.

    I played in the WL with a squad consisting of all 5* skillers (except GK), AMA.

    Posted: 28 Jan 2020 04:32 PM PST

    I like 5* skillers, I'm not the best skiller myself but I certainly enjoying bringing them out in games and always trying to improve my use of them in a practical way. I always try to incorporate as many 5* skillers as possible into my regular squads. Players with 5* skills also tend to be decent dribblers in general and often good passes/shooters, I also believe they have better/faster animations for some 4* or less skills.

    So last week I got thinking, would it be possible to build a usable squad with all outfield players having 5* skills? And if so, could I get Gold 3 with that squad in the WL? I typically just play WL until Gold 3, so usually finish on 14-7 or so. My best finish this year is Gold 1 (20-10).

    Squad

    So after thinking about it for a couple of days and searching through Futbin I came up with the best possible squad I could afford including some untradeables I already had. I knew forwards would be easy to put in, midfielders okayish but defenders would be difficult. I prefer to play 3ATB so I would need 3 CBs. There's only 3 defenders in the game with 5* skills, Marcelo, TOTT Cuadrado (who I missed out on) and 84 IF Corona. Marcelo was an easy selection, I did his 88 FB card so he would slot straight into a CB position being a 91 rated CB with Anchor (or 92 rated with Sentinel). After skimming through 5* skillers sorted by defending, the only other real option that popped out was Corona, I had luckily done his 86 RTTF final card, a handy 77 rated CB with a Sentinel. I'd also used Pogba earlier in the year so knew he had good physicals and could do a more defensive job in midfield, but could he play CB? Couldn't see any other viable options so Pogba would be my middle CB.

    So before kick off my squad would start like this for max chemistry: https://i.imgur.com/ddZAvQA.png And after kick off I would switch to this: https://i.imgur.com/3YUkVMX.png

    Not the most imposing midfield or defence but certainly an attack to mix it with the best.

    Tactics

    I knew for what I lacked in Defensive stats I would need to make up for it in numbers. So my default formation and setup would be a 3-5-2 with the LM/RM set to come back on defence and the CDMs to stay back while attacking. Defensive style: Press After Possession Loss, Depth 2, Width 2. Offensive style: Balanced, Width 2. I also setup a more attacking option for when I needed a goal. Formation changed to 3-4-1-2, defensive style: Press After Possession Loss, Width 3, Depth 5. Offensive Style: Balanced, width 3. The LM/RM were both set to be balanced, and the left CDM (Cazorla) set to Stay Back. Otherwise all else was balanced/default.

    Results

    Overall I was able to achieve my goal of Gold 3, reaching 14 wins and 10 losses (only slightly worse than my usual record).

    ​

    Match Results

    After the first game I wondered if all games would end up at penalties but things soon settled into a normal rhythm. It was also pretty clear after the first few games that auto-defending was out and I was going to have to manually defend like a mother fucker to win my games, all runs needed to be tracked and I would need to press the tackle button. It was also clear I would need to hold onto the ball like it was the most valuable thing on Earth to stop me needing to defend :D

    What was most surprising is that I was able to keep 2 clean sheets, it's hard enough as it is normally but a little unexpected with one recognised defender in your line up.

    Ratings

    I recorded all the goals/assists and match ratings so I could see who my best performers were. Attacking wise, no surprises that Ronaldo would top the scoring. I was however impressed with Kaka, didn't really expect much from him as every review I'd seen was talking him down but he really stepped up with some clutch goals. Bolasie wasn't his usual self due to chemistry issues, but certainly a good foil for the other two.

    ​

    Goals & Assists

    ​

    Average Player Ratings

    No surprises there really, Ronaldo easily the best and most consistent performer also jagging 8 MOTM performances. Bolasie had 3 MOTMs, Kaka 1 and Cazorla 1.

    Learnings

    Overall 5* skillers generally aren't very good at defending, but there are some perks to having some of these types of players at the back. Once the ball is won back, you can start some very quick counter attacks as most of these guys are very good passers (with both feet). Also playing out from the back is a dream and you can do so confidently… rabona fake, flair backheel, roulette to elastico, no problem for these "defenders" to find their way out of a press. So yes while actual defending is difficult, keeping the ball and playing out from the back is much easier. Most of all it's actually hell fun because there's no expectation and landing a perfect block or tackle to stop a shot on goal almost feels like scoring a goal!

    Here's a quick rundown on how I think each player performed:

    Ronaldo (Engine)
    Unpopular opinion, I think he's better (IG) than Messi. With the Engine chem style it fixes issues with his passing and dribbling and his shooting is certainly good enough. I think he'll be staying in my team for a while.

    Bolasie (Sniper)
    Only on 4 chem so didn't see the usual shooting/dribbling boost from Sniper chem but he still performed admirably and was able to hold up the ball and bring others into play. Another unpopular opinion, Shot Power is more important than Finishing when shooting in the box. Luckily he has loads of it.

    Kaka (Hunter)
    Big surprise for me, and I loved using him, will be saving up for his Prime I think. The first thing you notice about him is he's massive. He has a real chunky model but still moves really well, feels stronger than 77 as well.

    Costa (Deadeye)
    Pretty disappointing, pretty much just making up the numbers.

    Cazorla (Basic)
    Another surprise packet, had him in my club but had barely used him. Smooth mover, nice dribbling and passing on both feet and. Very nice interceptions and nice and agile for defending really. Sprint speed absolutely sucks though, if he gets caught in a foot race he's toast. Stamina also not great.

    Pirlo (Shadow)
    Got him from Futswaps and have over 330 games with him. Very similar to Cazorla really except his work rates allow him to last a whole game. Speed also not so much of an issue due to full chem Shadow chem.

    Dembele (Basic)
    No chem boosts nullified him a little, still created a lot of chances cutting him from the right hand side.

    Marcelo (Anchor)
    Stalwart of my defence, was busy covering everything, easily the best "defender". Also puts question marks over the "Low" work rates because he was everywhere doing everything. One of my favourite players in the game, you can literally play him anywhere with the right chem style.

    Pogba (Shadow)
    Possibly the most disappointing of the "defenders" sure he can put in a solid tackle sometimes but Christ he's slow off the mark and he also gave away at least 3 penalties. But I really did need some muscle back there, he did make short work of most smaller nimble players.

    Corona (Sentinel)
    Surprisingly good really, pretty clean in the tackle and made some crucial tackles and goal line clearances. With a couple of upgrades he could be a viable right back or outside CB at a stretch (when partnered with a bigger CB).

    De Gea (Basic)
    Poor De Gea had a much busier weekend between the sticks than he would normally anticipate, overall he performed very well and saved me on numerous occasions. Over the past few weeks I've used Ter Stegen, Alisson and De Gea and they all performed similarly for me and I don't really have any issues with any of them.
