Are box.co.uk generally the best value when it comes to online?

I’m comparing prices to what scan sells products and Scan.co.uk are cheaper

Hi,

what’s the views on either buying or building a gaming pc in the current climate?

 

I was thinking of getting the following but with Graphics cards in short supply I’m not sure what to do..

I was thinking of purchasing the 

not sure how well DDR 4 Ram will work as it’s a DDR 5 mother board..

will prices change with the new generation changes forecast later this year?

Are there any recent cpu charts for playing FM?  With the recent launch of Ryzen’s new Cpu and increased cores and threads just wondering if these have any advantages playing FM?

iv read to play most other games with high FPS having more cores and threads is better for future gaming.

[How many CPU cores can be used?]

If you got money to spare I think the following components would be an FM BEAST.

 

[Are Newgens Too Good?]

I think There are more average newgens as there are wonderkids.   IRL unless a player from 16+ makes drastic improvements there arnt going to be loads of random humans turn up as a wonderkid over night,  In the game newgens get created at a certain point some of which are very good,  maybe the fact newgens appear so early in the game makes it appear like there’s to many?  Imagine how depleted the game would feel in 5-10 years if no newgens were introduced?

building a team of wonderkid newgens 3 years after the game start is obviously unrealistic but if by doing this your game becomes easy you may need to play your game differently if it bothers you?   Does this happen on every save you start?

I do use attribute masking yes. I actually was pretty surprised by how low the PA ratings were for the two strikers when I retired the save and looked under the hood, but perhaps I inflate the value of them in my own head because I'm too close. Felipe is poised to be absolutely brilliant, though. For reference, Dybala has a PA of 185 and Higuain has 180.

Name / CA / PA

Aguirre / 160 / 169

Ocampo / 161 / 161

Buna / 169 / 178

Felipe / 161 / 190

Vermeersch / 159 / 170

So using attributes masking should make it harder to find these players?   I guess if your prepared to put the time in you should have reward which is a good player.

 

last season TAA broke threw at Liverpool in his first season at 18/19 what’s his Ca and Pa?   I think you’ll find if you holiday the game for 10-15 years the number of high rated players will balance out to what the game start with.

In real life a player having potential at a young age is just that potential!?  50% May go on to forfill this potential and the other 50% don’t.  It could come down to personality traits etc..

In FM when a regen is given a 4 star rating at a world class club you know his potential is any thing upto 200?

irl its a lot harder to say a player with potential could reach the level of 200 = Messi standard..   

I don’t see clubs finding players rated 200 potential irl from all over the world unless they have very high reputations and are known world wide.  Do you use attribute masking in your game?

Is there a way to see all the players in the game? If you click "Players" it only shows you the ones you're able to see with your network, no?

There’s used to be a programme called fm-scout for download.  I used that for experiments..

[Are Newgens Too Good?]

Load the game up season one, load the editor and find out how many high rated players are in the game above 160 PA and CA,  then load it up 5-10 years later and see if this no has changed,  perhaps you need some house rules as not to go out of your way to find these players if it bothers you?

Well If you actually read my post I didn't say it was scripted, I said it felt that way. 

You confirm my suspicions that things like team talks might have a way to big of an effect on team performance.

Team talks should be important, but lets set a limit here its a bit over the top if this is the case

 

At least considering all the things in my favor in this specific matchup.

I’d like to see the full match hilights in 2d, watching this can provide many clues as why they score the goals they do etc,   They have some how exploited your tactics, maybe from a fast counter attack?

any chance you can load the game onto YouTube so we can analyse it for clues?   With out watching the game people are speculating and guessing as to why you lost this game..   Cardiff must be exploiting your tactic..
