Ultimate Team

[Steely]

I wasn't planning on playing it, just curious as to whether the eternal lag issues are still around.

[Timmo]

It's still almost impenetrable. Ultimate Team is at least simple and easy to get into.

Yes, still laggy, there is a free myclub pes lite available on all platforms and the full game is on gamepass on Xbox and it's almost impossible to find a game because nobody plays it, that tells you all you need to know really.

 

People are playing it because Kurt got banned by EA and has started streaming it, RunTheFutMarket and Tekkz have started playing coop with him as well.

There's been a bit of a PES Revolution on YouTube with quite a number of YouTubers playing it instead of, or at least as well as, FIFA. They're currently giving you a free Maradona just for logging in.

 

I started PES myclub last night and was surprised when they gave me Maradona at the start. I’ve not tried online yet, just a few offline mode games. Having not played it in years it’s taking time to not play it in a fifa style.

Shit rewards as expected but thats ok, all going into the 86+ sbc anyway....

 

Best one was 88 Mertens.

 

Could of been a lot worse I guess.

[hannay]

88 Mertens classed as shit now? My best reward from rivals was 83 Milik from Napoli. 

[Steely]

My rewards were fucking trash. I got 86 Laca and thats it, both my player picks were 82 rated. 

 

I need to pick my final icon for Swaps 2.

 

Got 10 swaps, so Koeman or Seedorf or Raul or Pires.  

 

I've got to choose my storyline player aswell.., Anyone used any of them yet? (Akanji, Savic or Kovacic.)

 

 

[gooner4life]

Seedorf.

He was moaning about his pack luck after packing Neymar, Mbappe and Son twice each, he's fucking ill in the head.

Only packed one Mbappe.

 

And I wasn't moaning, merely made an observation that I opened lots of Ultimate packs and didn't get a Icon.

 

Yes I did very well with other bits and added about 3 million to my clubs worth, but I'm at the stage now where all I want to see is that Moments Badge down the tunnel.

[hannay]

I got Rio from a BOGOF Ultimate (got him in the free one!) but other than that it’s so rare I see anything over 83. Like Gooner has said in the past, I’m gonna create a new account next time.

It just dawned on me.

 

I forgot to claim either of these.  Fucking hell.

[Timmo]

Oops!

 

New swaps.

 

I've used both Kenny and Rush (who I'm using now) and I'd recommend Rush to be honest. Better shooting and more physical. Loads of really good options there, though.

[Steely]

On the plus. 

 

None of them were probably going into my team long term.

 

So rolling the dice on 9 swaps. 

[Jerec]

Base Gulliet and Base Zidane?

 

Wankers.

[Timmo]

I'm going Prime pack. Very happy with my team, and 9 swaps is reasonable. Just have to hope I don't get Keane or Essien...

[Jerec]

Two prime packs is worth a shot

Not a thing

[hannay]

You can’t repeat it. So you could go one prime pack and an other icon. 
 

I see a the good players have dropped down to my level now and it’s unplayable again for me.

 

It’s a shame I’m so shit as I just can’t compete now in Div 6 and 7. I was storming through all week now I can’t get the ball.

Oh I suppose. Bit shit that.

 

Prob go for Rush then.

[ryanski]

Bite the bullet dude. I'm normally div4 but dropped to div 8. Life's too short to bust a gut. Get em done lower down and enjoy the journey back up after. 

@hannay

[hannay]

Are all the useless bronze teams that appear only to quit just folk dropping leagues? 

[ryanski]

That's what I do. Btw - Ian rush? For a forward player 4* skills or GTFO.

What 4* skills do you use? Other than the scoop I don't find much use for them. The heel to heel flick feels like it's been nerfed.

[ryanski]

I couldn't do without the McGeady turn or whatever it's referred to in game nowadays. Its very effective.

What’s the advantage of quitting with a bronze team over a normal decent one? Just curious.

Skills?

 

I just press Square. (ex pro evo player) Sometimes L1 and R1 Square. Sometimes L1 Square. Rarely R1 Square.

I have a ton of bronze contracts from bpm so it costs me nothing to quit multiple times. 

[hannay]

Ah yeah I see 

[ryanski]

Just be aware you can only quit about 6 or 7 games in a row before you need to play a full game or it'll start kicking you off the servers for an incomplete game whether you or your opponent quit.
