    14-0

    Very chill weekend.

    Think I matched one good player, got about 10 ragequits, had fun.

    I'm calling bull

    He's a legend around here. Has the best gameplay, best players, never loses. Elite of elites.

    I've got bad gameplay like everybody else.

    I just don't blame anything on it. It makes the game less enjoyable, but you can play through it and still win.

    It's mind blowing how there are people who take like 10-15 Ls per weekend and all they have to say is "my players stopped moving, my keeper didn't save anything, my opponent's keeper made 100 saves, I hit the post 10x, I lost to 90th minute bs" and so on. 15 Ls and not a single word on the own lack of skill.

    Delay is a thing. But delay is not a viable excuse for every loss you take.

    Very chill weekend.

    Think I matched one good player, got about 10 ragequits, had fun.

    I'm calling bull

    On what?

    I go 14-0 or 14-1 almost every week pal. The tough games are those at +15 form which you don't reach when until you carry on from gold 3.

    I'm almost at 2400 skillrating in rivals, I would expect myself to go 14-2 at worst.

    I'm calling bull

    You're right. How do I know. I'll tell you.

    Last weekend, and you can check my posts, I went 6-7. EASILY the worst game play I've played in all year. It was terrible.

    This weekend, better game play. I went 14-1. Did I change my team up? A little bit, but nothing significant to make me go from 6-7 to 14-1. Also, PRIOR to last weekend I went 11-1, 14-2 and 22-6. So if the gameplay SUCKS it doesn't matter who you have and who you're playing against, you're going to struggle. Trust me.

    If you think gameplay alone makes you go 6-7 then there is probably no hope left for you tbh.

    Did you record any of your Ls? I'm sure there are so many mistakes in there you made due to rage and that have nothing to do with the gameplay itself.

    Bad gameplay can make the game unenjoyable which can cause demotivation and/or rage which then makes you play worse. But you are not going 6-7 only because of gameplay lol.

    I take note of my losses and majority of them comes from these:

    1. Tackling: Tackle an attacker, attacker still retains ball. Goes straight through my defender. Manually tackling players, animation for tackle is wrong side. IE. Ball is coming to my players right, defender tackles to his left.
    2. Interceptions: Players not intercepting when the ball is 50/50 to be won or ball is there with no challenge to be obtained.
    3. Movement: Going for an attack, striker makes a nice run but stops for no apparent reason but to stop your attack. Defender has chance to run down line to stop an attacker, defender instead stops for a second allowing more space for attacker. Long balls, defenders try to arch their run, never in unison causing easy 1v1 with keeper. Ball is lost from attacker, any player will run straight for ball, instead animation causes them to do a half circle, giving enough time for other player to retain the ball.
    4. Passing: Easy passes, which end up being played too weak/too strong or not go to intended player.
    5. Through balls: Using them in final quarter, use little power, full power is applied and unable to make it as its overplayed to their defender/gk
    6. Opponent plays Man Mark/Pressure all through out the game with no repercussions. IE, No Stamina Loss, No Out of position players, if they over commit to an interception.
    7. Gameplay/Connection. All the above can be contributed purely from this.

    I know when I've made a mistake but I also know when the game is favouring specific moments very poor decisions for your player or against you.

    And why are you losing to it while the good players don't or atleast very rarely?

    Lol idk why I’m going back and forth with you. I know when the game play is smooth and when it’s delayed and terrible. But keep sitting on your high horse lol. I just don’t randomly go 6-7 (during the start of toty) after not having a 7 loss weekend league the whole year.

    There is a reason why people play at specific times, have good connection to servers, have these meta players. I don't have that luxury, you probably do.

    If we all had good connection, Id say the skill gap would be far smaller.

    G2 again. Wasnt going to play this weekend but ended up doing so, and quit out of games where I never usually do. Dispelled the myth I had about it not impacting my ELO.

    Changed my team about 3 times and wasnt really focussed so happy with G2.

    Would love an extra day of WL so dont have to rush it every week due to work, kids and chores

    I definitely had 6 happen to me after I hit gold 3 yesterday. Dude was man marking my whole team for the whole game and had more stamina than me by the end. Crazy.
  • 23-7 and 19-11 on the second, main went 16-2, man this elusive elite 1 finish will never happen, streaming hinders my gameplay to another level aswell.
