Didn't play at all during the day today. Just got on and decided
to see what D4 would be like. However, I stupidly decided to
upgrade players beforehand. Did not realise that the upgrade on
the keeper would take 45 min :o. Not impressed.
Also, I see that the points required for 'spirit' have increased
to 8 k now. Ok then. Managed to get 7 - not bad to my opponent's
3 and playing at an upgraded home stadium (16k capacity), I
thought I had a chance. Nope - lost 1-3. Still, first game of
the season ...
Decided to practice and play another quickly - opponent is
Genova - they were promoted with me. At home again and spirit
was 6 vs his 1 thus looking for a good performance. Missed a
cross dismally, but found some form to win 3-1 with a pretty
poor miss from my side - would've been nice to get the 4th.
Was happy to win but think that the opponent was weak in
comparison to the first one. I can definitely start to see that
in app purchases will have to be made to do a lot better. One
thing that will frustrate me will be the time taken for the
higher end upgrades to the players ... 45 min is just way too
long IMO. And this is around that 40% of the attribute done.
Without speeding that up it will be like playing one game,
maybe 2 per day!
Thanks for the headsup Sherlock on NSS - will try it out.

Quick one re NSS ... Great game, thanks Sherlock. Initially
thought I had downloaded the bring app. But there is a lot to
this game!
Played 4 games - unfortunately one I wasn't picked for as my
energy was too low. Thought I could 'energy up' before but the
boss didn't pick me & was furious. Oops.
Game after next I got 5 assists and a headed goal. Rating was
10.0. This can really get quite addictive.

downloaded Remember Me (free for PS Plus members during January)
and I am pleasently surprised by this game. It is a mix between
some platforming and hack & Slash packed in a good story (I am
only in chapter 3).
refreshing game from the old master of CAPCOM

Did you try out Contrast last month Glad? Pretty interesting
game, as was Resogun, very, very old school in the object of the
game but very futuristic looking. Like an updated version of
Space Invaders :D

Ok so football kicks has died a bit of a death for me at the
moment due to whats previously been discussed. I looked up
that NSS game but the reviews on that say the same thing, was
great fun but now developer gone down 'freemium' route and you
have to pay 69p every couple of days to stay in the game.
I dont like being sheperded into paying money for stuff i have
no real intention of paying money for. Might have to look
around try find some other good games for the phone that dont
try to siphon your hard earned cash off you. Im not a child,
these tactics dont work on me lol. Will look for something
else and check reviews before downloading.
Might try an RPG, hack n slash style game, might give that
Dragon Age a try.

Not altogether dead Eric.
Interesting one that I focused on upgrading players during
season 1 & that might've paid dividends. After 4 games (played 2
this morning) sitting mid-table (2-0-2).
Still not getting the people through the turnstiles though -
capacity of 16,000 but no more than 8,500 attendance. Had about
40k before the last player-upgrades and the keeper around the 40
rating.
Will probably keep trying it given not much too lose. Just won't
be able to zoom through a season in 2 days, given the duration
of those player upgrades. In the immortal words of Yoda ...
Patience you must have ...

Re: NSS ... wow! Hopefully Sherlock can confirm the 'stay in'
fee. That's freakin' nuts to have that in play.

Yeah not altogether dead for me either I'll try to keep going.
Sat bottom of the league after. 7 or so games. I think part of
problem is the practice is harder and I can't be bothered as
much with it, always try to get a couple stars but cba doing all
3 available practice games. I should try buy a new player to
help out but prices probably too high for them to be gd enough
to improve my team. Maybe I should just keep upgrading players.
Games have been tough tho said it before but you really have to
take your chances and often they are bloody hard 25 yard efforts
thru a heap of bodies, I say hard but I mean nigh on impossible

getting ever closer to being dead tho, last game a perfect
example. I scored with all 2 of my chances. Only thing was my
opponent, Pamplona, scored 5 out of the 5 they got. This is a
common theme, the opponents seem to score with every chance.
Going into that game my team had 7 spirit to my opponents 4, and
not to mention i was the home team. There is nothing you can
do in those circumstances. I dont mind adversity but like i
said in my previous post, thats just mission impossible.

Yeah - do understand. Last game - very similar situation (at
home, superior spirit) and was 0-3 down before HT - same
scenario of all 3 of their attempts going in. Managed to score 3
in the 2nd half myself but his 4th killed it off.
Onto the general theme of addictiveness of games. Wife mentioned
to me that the creator of Candy Crush went to a psychologist
with the specific intention of understanding addictive
tendencies. I've never played it so have no clue what the game
is about. So, I cannot comment on how good the app is, but
they've certainly built their app well enough given their
success.
In comparison to this one, they've obviously gone for the need
for IAP way too early. That first season they made it impossible
not to get promoted, but then dump you into a black hole to
purchase your way out of. We are simply not addicted to the game
at this stage, to remotely justify those purchases.
When I got my first iPhone 4-5 years ago I remember playing one
of the poker games. At one stage I was possibly 3rd/4th of the
world leaderboard ... simple addiction got me there. Maybe spent
$1/2 every 3rd/4th day for maybe a month before I had sufficient
'capital' to sustain me and climb the ranking. It was crazy how
cool the game was & the success in there just drove the
justification of spending real money.
Obviously I've learnt since then :D. These guys have missed that
boat in terms of EVER spending $1 on them given how they've
programmed the game.

yeah i agree Kiwi, and i sit here now very glad that i hadnt
given into the temptation of buying 150 or 500 gold bars,
because Id have felt like a bit of a mug now for lining the
developers pocket, and i dont get the impression that having
spent that money, would hugely change the predicament that my
team finds itself in now.

its done, shame my team is garbage but at least i get something
to show for the coin lol
