Def dibble dipping.

Holy f*** guy. I’m sitting on 1.25 million thinking I’m a hot shit.

Well, I didn’t buy Elly. But I also didn’t pull Elly, so that balances.

I’m pretty good at investing early. I still have 200 Eflins and Stotts in the oven. 200 Martes (eventually). Some others flop but such is life. I had over 200 Heims before last update.

I’m running into trouble figuring out what gear is better for me in grim dawn.
I’m using a physical/fire build and it seems like when I try to replace a piece of gear that should increase my OA, it just doesn’t.

Allowing 10 goals is crazy though
If that happened in real soccer I’d watch it.

Not goals. :laugh: That was my record in 20 games.

Every weekend there's a thing called "Weekend League" from Friday to Sunday that you have to qualify for during the week. Then you play those 20 games and at the end you get rewards based on how many wins you get. It's ultra-sweaty, where every pro, streamer, and tryhard goes all-out.

I started off with 8 wins and 4 losses, then in the next 8 games I lost 6 in a row before winning the last two. There was a drastic noticeable change in my AI quality and my players shooting. Like I said, my goalie would literally move his arms away from the ball, every rebound would go right to the opponent, my defensemen would take penalties in the box constantly, and my own shots (with players that have maxed out shooting stats) were hitting the posts and missing the net. 10-10, four weeks in a row.

And just now, I played this game. Look at the score, then the shots. Expected goals were 6 to 3 in my favor. Rigged.

That’s such a weird stat line. Doubled his shots with better possession but less passes completed and all those tackles :laugh:

The possession was even more skewed in my favor before the little rat got the lead and played keep away to waste time at the end. :laugh: That’s where a lot of his passes came from.

Worst part is it’s extremely difficult to get the ball back when people do that, even if you put on “constant pressure” and full press. Your AI is useless and doesn’t do shit to help. Basically just have to get lucky and hope they choke a pass.

I don’t know how I didn’t launch my controller into orbit.

@Magua get Griffey yet?

I don’t feel like spending 8 hours on that conquest. I’m not getting Baez in event. I don’t care enough to do the showdown (I failed over halfway through my only try).

I did enough moments to get Wagner when I get 20 wins in event. Piazza and Cain stink. Even that Griffey is pretty disappointing. I grind this game for everything, but even I shrug at this one.

Yeah who would do that. :sarcasm:

Randy on Legend is no bueno. Got a lucky perfect-perfect with Sano or I was dead.

Griffey is pretty much maxed out with the Ripken boost.

Event cards are going for a fortune. Just sold that shitty Bruce Sutter for 50k. The grind for 20 wins...

Isn't that my team futbol team? The yellow one

Parallel IV, eh? Seems you’re double dipping.

I have 2MM stubs, and I’m waiting for the next chase pack day 1. I hope it’s Juan Pierre.
I have 50k. I stopped grinding after 2 weeks lol

Since you’re popping in, are there any good sci-fi diablo clones out there?

Sorry this took so long.

Some people liked Warhammer 40K Inquisitor. The movement looked so awful to me that I didn’t personally try it.

I’ve also had this in my list for a few years, but I haven’t gotten around to trying it yet: The Ascent - Curve Games

They put that in the game with the real dimensions?! :laugh:

For those that don’t know, the field is utterly ridiculous:

Yeah I hit about 10 miles worth of outs last night (One cheapy tbf). If you're lucky and your opponent has a bad CF, the ball will land just shy of the warning track and you'll get a ground rule double on an easy triple or inside the park HR. :laugh:
