There has been some research into this. The conclusion is not entirely surprising. Online Vs IRL behaviour.

It's called Target Tirpitz by Patrick Bishop. It's a right good read too, hope you enjoy it
-
There is a cracking book, The Sinking of the Tirpitz that details all the different missions that went into sinking the German flagship during the second world war. One of the more ambitious ones did involve these tiny 1 or 2 man submarines.

Sounds interesting, can you give a little more detail on your settings?

Dictionary definition of nationalism : Identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations. To my mind that is inherently bad.

By the end of this interview I was thinking of the chap below.....

Stunning isn't it. "We want a high growth economy." "But Brexit knocked 4% off GDP and is the biggest single impediment to growth." "Not that sort of growth." Not that growth is even the answer. You can't grow forever on a finite planet. It is the elephant in the room that the Brexit elephant is standing on.

Talk to me goos

This is a poor game even by championship standards.

And this year. An overspend will help in the development of the existing car too.

Something does feel like it has changed. I'm winning every game easily now by a long way. The team are more nimble and I have not conceded a goal in 3 games.

I do know that dynamic potential is broken. Youth players get massive downgrades between seasons. Apparently a known bug so no doubt it will be with us for months. Youth squad is now pointless. One example among many, my potential to be special striker who played every game he was fit for and averaged around 8/10 went down to has potential between seasons. EA suck

Is that a photo from the conference?

Star Trekkin across the universe, always going forwards cos we can't find reverse.

I found that it was in part to the keepers at this level basically being broken. They don't stop anything. I put the slider up to 60 which mitigates the worst of that. The only other thing to do is pack the defence, which is not a very satisfying way of playing, and even then I still concede 3 or more fairly regularly.
-
I have also enjoyed that sliding tackles are a thing now. It also means I am picking up a more realistic amount of red and yellow cards. I don't think I ever had a player suspended in 22 for accumulation of yellows, and I have in 23. I have managed to stem the number of goals I am conceding a little, but it is by playing a back 5 and a DM. I also used sliders to make my keeper less shit. However my first full season (in the second division on world class) resulted in close to 250 goals(ish) total for and against. That is a record for me. I hope it will improve as I get better players.
-
But the mini budget won't / can't work. It's like betting that you can stem the bleeding of a bullet wound by stabbing yourself. Everything they do makes us bleed out faster. The best thing they can do to save the country is call a GE and get out of the way.
-
Agreed. The only real impact I see is a reduction of hosting any data in the UK. It is an insensitive not to work here. If you are an international company it is a big insensitive not to be based here. UK data will have to be separated from the rest of the EU and treated differently. This is just effort and therefore cost. It just further isolates us from the rest of the world. The idea is dumb, but from the world of Brexit it is what I have come to expect.

Koch being worked on by 2 men.

Omg the defending AI is so stupid, the worst it has ever been. I'm watching as my defence with 6 men in my own box manage to leave 2 attackers unmarked. Switching defenders does me no good as they are all so out of position I can't get anywhere near them. I just watched a goal back where my defenders formed a 4 man semicircle around a single striker, not a single one got close, not a single one got between striker and the goal and none of them tried to cut out the pass. The striker just stood there until the pass came in then boom, another goal in a 6-2 loss. Gameplay is shite.
-
IMO the game as a single player experience so far is awful. 14 games into my first career mode and there have been 74 goals scored in total. An average of over 5 goals a game. It feels scripted beyond my experience of any other year. I will go 3 up in a game then my team is unable to complete a tackle or a pass and I let in 3 goals in 15 minutes. It's so frustrating to play. And the keeping is so broken. It's like they jump out if the way of the ball on occasions and more often than not they just fall over rather than dive. It is to football what police squad is to detective work.
-
Don't disagree with any of that. However that is proof of a sense of self preservation, not of conscience.
-
35 Tories with a conscience? Good luck with that. More likely to find life on Jupiter.
