Yikes! Cyberpunk has been taken off the PlayStation Store, so you can no longer buy it on the PS4, also offering full refunds to everyone who bought it for last gen.

Hey dalenichol and anyone interested in FIFA 21. I found an online class system pretty neat with in depth video classes from a few of my favourite pro's, like BorasLegend and Tekkz. I've just started the Boras' course and it's been interesting, despite being mostly common places so far. I think it will be useful for me at least to try and improve in playing FIFA and get more WL wins. The site offers a week for free and then it costs $9.99 per month. I think you could finish one course on the free trial at least. app.gamerzclass.com/

The course is a bit more in-depth that what Boras at least does on his youtube, focusing more on game mechanics than "tricks".

That is interesting, at least. I like Boras, and I'd like to improve, but I just can't watch FIFA youtubers, I'm yet to encounter one who's videos don't make me want to throw things at my monitor.

ive not played or watched fifa videos in ages.
I didnt really enjoy watching them, though, the spainish guy (alphonso?) that won various world cups in the pro scene, had a different playstyle to the sweaty levels I would find self in.

Just got my best pull so far in FIFA 21. Decided to open a 350 point pack. I sometimes buy 1-2 packs when new cards are released, just to test the luck (I really like opening packs, guilty pleasure) and well, I got the best card from the new set. Without even flicking I decided to put him up for the max and he sold quickly. There's gonna be a squad upgrade soon haha. Don't know what I'll do yet, but replacing Baggio up front with 95 Messi sounds doable and tempting.

Holy shit chaodck fair play. That's pretty incredible. I've had some decent pack luck this year, tradeable Neymar, untradeable Kante and Headliners Fabinho etc, but nothing quite at that level. I spent 300k on 50k packs last night and got next to nothing whilst my mate, who just bought the game on Saturday, packed Mid Henry from his first pack :/

I've never, ever packed an icon though haha. I'd guess mid Henry is worth more than that 2M I got for Fernandes. In the end I sold mid Baggio and de Bruyne and got 95 TOGS Messi and 93 Baggio (don't know how the top version of an icon is called haha) to play as CDM. I'm playing a 4-4-2 with currently, Oblak, Walker, van Dijk, 90 Ramos, 88 Acuña; Casemiro, 93 Baggio; Salah, Hazard; 95 Messi and 88 Vardy. The 2 mids are CDM's so they can get the "Cut Passing Lanes" instruction, and the wingers are LM and RM.

Oh my!!!!! Great pulls mate, have you planned on what you'll do with the coins? As a sidenote I reverted back to my 4-3-3 (Oblak; Walker, van Dijk, 90 Ramos, 89 Acuña; Casemiro; 93 Baggio, Fabinho (for now, I'll re-buy KDB once I get the coins), Salah, Messi and Hazard) as I find it better suited to my style. Started weekend league with 3 straight wins. Hopefully I can outdo my best (which is 11, enough for the non capped red player, Silver 1 I think).

Started weekend league with 3 straight wins. Hopefully I can outdo my best (which is 11, enough for the non capped red player, Silver 1 I think). That's such a nice squad, man! No plan for the coins yet, it takes me back up to 1.4m because I wasted about 300k on packs and got nothing the other week. I'm running a full french squad and the only upgrades are going to be super expensive, the likes of Mbappe, mid/prime icons and the odd special card and I don't want to throw all that money on just one player, not with team of the year around the corner. So I'll horde the coins for now or maybe develop an alternative team around my Brazilian players. I've got the weekend off, so I'm not playing weekend league, I don't need that stress when I'm finally trying to relax Hope you have a good one...I don't know how it'll work for you in South America, but I definitely have more success if I leave the bulk of my games until the Sunday. It seems like you get the stragglers and players with poorer records at that time.

It seems like you get the stragglers and players with poorer records at that time. Yeah, that's a good plan mate, waiting until TOTY arrives. I might sell Messi before he dips in value to see if I can snatch a few higher valued cards from TOTY to replace maybe Walker and Hazard. I've got 88 Vardy and 88 Immobile who could do a great job up front (even though Messi is godly despite the stats being similar between the 3). Regarding Weekend League I always seem to have good luck starting Friday in the early afternoon, last two times I've played I've won my first 4 games. I tried playing last night but lost 2 straight and decided not to continue, so I'm currently 4-2. I've also had luck in Sundays late night, just before closing time, I clutched a few good wins last time that took me to Silver 1 last time. EDIT: Well. Saturday mornings isn't my time really. Just lost 4 games. Could've won two of them but I conceded dumb goals and became desperate. I'm starting to doubt I'll even get to Silver 1 I might need some luck in the matchmaking.

Yeah, I find that if I start early on Friday I can often pick up 5 or 6 wins to get me started, then it can go a bit hit or miss throughout the rest of friday. Saturday is usually a write off, but I can sometimes get a bit of luck in the evenings and then Sunday evening is usually where I have most of my luck. But I'm far from being good. I'm Gold 3/Silver 1 at best for the most part.

I actually had a good time playing mostly, I think I'll play again next weekend, with a bit more of luck I can sneak into Gold 2, which is substantially better than Gold 3.

I bought FM21 last week but have gone back to FM20 for the time being as having the Covid-squashed fixture list bugs me.

Again Gold 3 this weekend, improved a little bit though as I won 14 in 28 games played. Could've easily gotten to Gold 2, as I lost a few incredible games, but I'm seeing tons of improvement due to playing against elite competition, which makes the frustration worth it. Aiming for Gold 2 next weekend.

Good stuff buddy! I've not touched the game in a few weeks and I'm honestly not sure when or if I'll go back to it. There's talk of me no longer working weekends, so I guess if that comes to fruition then I might get around to playing more. Got a nice team and 1.3m sitting there, would be a shame to waste it

There's talk of me no longer working weekends, so I guess if that comes to fruition then I might get around to playing more. Got a nice team and 1.3m sitting there, would be a shame to waste it Well mate, today might be the day you get back into it, I fear haha. This screenie just popped up in my game. TOTY releases today at 18:00 your time, 15:00 my time. I've been preparing for TOTY all week, saving all my reward and SBC packs to open them today at 15:01 (in fact as soon as I see some TOTY players in the market, to verify they are on packs). I've got 19 packs waiting to be opened: - 3 75+ Rare Rated Player Packs - 2 Two Rare Gold Player Packs - 1 Premium Electrum Players Pack - 1 Prime Electrum Players Pack - 4 Mega Packs - 1 Rare Mega Pack - 1 Rare Gold Pack - 1 Gold Players Pack - 1 Small Prime Gold Players Pack - 1 Prime Gold Players Pack - 1 Small Rare Gold Players Pack - 2 Rare Players Packs Almost all of them are tradeable packs as they came from the FUT Champions and Rivals rewards, plus the Marquee Matchups SBC. I've got around 170k coins, not much really but hopefully I manage to pull a tradeable TOTY player early today and sell him off for as max as I can. Oh, and also the red player picks have been pretty solid in the last two weekends, last week I pulled 86 Hakimi and this week 88 Pogba.

Those are some good picks.
I'll wait and see what the deal is at 6. I think today is only the defenders, or at least they tend to do them in position batches so I'll wait. One of my work friends is up to over 80 packs now, he's been saving for weeks. I've not prepped at all, but I could do a bunch of quick and easy SBC's and gold upgrades, just to see what happens.

Well now you bum me out with that... If it's only defenders I won't do a lot of packs then, maybe all the 1-2 player ones and 1-2 mega packs. I've got good defenders in 92 Puyol, 90 Ramos and 90 Virgil, 88 Acuña, 87 Tavernier, 86 Alba and 85 Walker. Also, I've got the Thiago Silva that auto upgrades, so in the remote chance he gets a TOTY, I'll get it automatically.

First defenders, then mids then attackers and then a week with them all in packs. That's not to say they'll do it the same this year, could easily be that they just release the whole team at once. I assume there'll be some objective/sbc players available too. Not gonna play champs this weekend, but I am gonna go fire the game up now and see if there's any easy objective packs to get

Playing champs this weekend chaodck? I decided to give it a go. Having a rough weekend of it, but I'm currently 9-8 and I think I'll just be happy to get Silver 1! Although I do usually have a decent record when I play on Sundays for whatever reason. I also done the mid icon sbc, only cost me 70k or so because I had so much in my club, ended up having to use some good players, but damn, I got me Mid Suker and he's an absolute beast!

I also done the mid icon sbc, only cost me 70k or so because I had so much in my club, ended up having to use some good players, but damn, I got me Mid Suker and he's an absolute beast! Hi mate! No, for the first time in a month or so I'm not playing Champs this weekend. Since last week or so matchmaking has been a bitch, taking around 4-5 minutes at times to get a game. Last week between that and a short temper span for me (don't know what was that about) I sucked during the weekend and I only got to Silver 3, and played around 18-20 games (the wait was unbearable). So I don't have the points to play this weekend. I gotta say that after a month playing straight it's kinda relaxing not having to play this weekend hahahaha. Now I only have to stress about the La U game this afternoon and the chance that we need a win or go into relegation playoff zone (there's 3 games left still, counting tonight's). Regarding my team I have some coins at hand (around 700k) and already a 90 rated 100 chem team (91 Oblak, 86 Tavernier, 92 Puyol, 91 Ramos, 88 Acuña; 89 Casemiro, 93 Baggio, 91 KDB; 90 Salah, 95 Messi, 88 Hazard). Improving upon that is super hard as I only feel I need a LW or a faster CDM and CB, but all those are expensive to improve upon. So I might go for an icon SBC. Don't have much on my club currently I think I'd struggle with 85-86 ovr sbc's. But I'll look into it.

That team is absolutely insane, my dude! Yeah, it's nice having time off from it, it's such a stressful and not entirely enjoyable thing to play, but it's silly addictive Saw you were playing FIFA, so I decided to ask how were you doing haha. I played WL this weekend and again got to Gold 3, 14/29 wins, which is good as that seems to be my level. I'm really hoping to push it into Gold 2 territory sometime soon, but with so many good cards being released I'm fearing I will start to lose my edge (train of thought: I feel that my team bails me out a lot of the time, I have a fantastic team and am mediocre at the game, so if the competition gets better teams, I'll start losing more). I did the grab bag SBC with some of the items I had laying around in the club (mostly untradeable cards) and lucked out with a good pull in FUT Freeze Thorgen Hazard (86), who sells for around 250k. Only to realize the card is untradeable as well which is a bummer as I have around 4-5 better cards on his position. Still, I went for a new upgrade to the squad and bought Prime Rivaldo (92) to replace Hazard. The team now is: Oblak (91); Headliners SBC Tavernier (86 with two more upgrades left), Prime Puyol (92), TOTW Ramos (90), ShowDown SBC Acuña (88); Casemiro (89), Prime Baggio (93), KdB (91); Salah (90), TOGS Messi (95), Prime Rivaldo (92). 91 OVR, 99 Chem so far, when Rivaldo gets the loyalty it'll be 100 chem.

That's the squad currently. I messed about a bit with formation and tactics at the weekend. Had my worst WL since the game came out, finished Silver 1, 13 wins and 17 losses. I don't know if it was just me being extra bad or my new medication knocking my concentration, but nothing felt right at all. I was saying to friends in Discord that I'm feeling similar to you. I'm not a good player but I had a good team for so long that it carried me through, but now I can't compete with the people that have the Mbappe, Neymar and Ronaldo combo, which is becoming more and more common, as well as some of the completely OP Icons that are available. Tempted to try a new team completely but I don't know where to start and I only have 700k (although maybe another 300-500k in sellable assets (Diaby, Larsson, Varane, Pogba, Lloris and a few more) But yeah, I'm thinking my time might be up with Weekend League at least, unless this weekend was just an anomaly.

Hey dalenichol, for me this WL has been absofuckinglutely unplayable. I've played 8 games so far, ALL the teams are super teams. All of them with POTM Bruno, Mbappé, Neymar, 88 Robben, Klaiber (or Tavernier), 86 Theo Hernandez, and such. All colorful OP cards in one team, which makes the mode unplayable. When this players had the likes of good meta teams like Rodrigo, Kante, Son, Salah, Richarlison, etc I could handle them. Now, 0-8 and I think I've finished only 2 of those games, I scored 1-2 goals in total and concededed maybe 3-4 per game. I'll give it a go tonight and tomorrow to see if it improves, but if not I don't think I'll play further than 4-5 games more.
