What Nep repeatedly seems to miss is the fact that the Arsenal RTG being hard, behind, and non-meta, *is* what makes it interesting. Being behind the power curve, struggling with small EVO upgrades, and defying all the odds and still managing to rise up the rivals ranks or grind to your best champs finish of the year *is interesting*. Doing it for a month and then giving up because other people have better wingers is not-it's like an underdog sports movie except they all quit after the second game of the season.
Nep on the Crappers account smashing people 4 divisions below his level : "Let's go baby come on, Amen to that!" Nep on the Arsenal RTG losing to someone in Division 3 : "There's no way this guy is D3, what is this matchmaking EA!"
Nep on the crappers account : Playing with a bronze team, playing up the divisions as fast as possible and not sandbagging, but has to start in D10 like everyone else Nep on the Arsenal RTG : Playing against people with super teams who are sandbagging for easy wins 🤝🤝Context matters.
as someone who has also been playing ultimate team with an evo and for-fun focus for a few years now, I feel like we can't compare ourselves to the majority/meta teams that we come up against or we'll just drive ourselves crazy. as cool as it should be and can be to evo up one card throughout the entire game cycle, the real fun I think is in doing it with our own players and not the same players that everyone else uses. like as an arsenal fan, nwaneri or lewis-skelly might not get a special card this year (or maybe they will and we'll then regret spending all those evos on them) but it's cool to actually have them usable in ultimate team and play a role in our squads and same goes for all of our favourite players. obviously we all want to win and have fun by doing so and not having access to those elite/op cards is going to make it harder (and evidently not being able to create our own op cards, for the most part) but I've still been able to have fun just playing with MY players.
I won’t lie I’m pretty happy with evos so far, the latest few that seem to give a fair few overalls aren’t too great but overall my team is pretty sick, all really good stats and play styles for their positions.
The problem you have with your Arsenal team is that the pool of players you have to choose from is far too small, so you end up with awful evos. My Watford past and present team has a much larger pool to choose from, and because of that, my team has genuinely been able to keep up with power curve (I still average 11-12 wins in Champs like I did at the start of the game, so it's definitely keeping up with the power curve imo). I think you'd be better off going with past and present players rather than just Arsenal cards, and you'd still have a connection with them, unlike the random bronzes you mentioned at the end of the video - just my two cents
@jeff-zg6jy No, he's only going past when no present players fit. I'm saying he'd be better off always looking to evo past players because there's more options to choose from
On the kickoff thing, because the opponents team naturally pushes up, there’s usually a gap where u can just use a pinged pass and they have a lot more space. Whereas when you lobbed it out to saka, his fullback had a lot more time to push up and contest saka. Just thought I’d let you know from my experience
Nep you showed the heat map for that game and was like I wonder why his wingers were coming back more than yours, it wasn't that they were wingers, but more because you had the inside forwards on roaming and attack. the description says fewer defensive responsibilities. I also found that on balanced they get more involved deeper than just the final 3rd.
the evo idea is good. today i just didnt want to put that evo on to 1 of my villa players. 3 players it could work for and not 1 would recieve a playstyle or playstyle plus as they already have them. all i would get is minor stat boost and another overall 86/87 to deal with
Guys stop being sensitive, let nep change his rules and use meta cards if he likes, it’s entertainment. Just take it for what it is, entertainment content!
I was shocked when you randomly picked out that Korean LB for an evo. I also run a Korean evo team alongside my Chelsea team and when I don't have good Chelsea options for an evo, I use a Korean player instead. I've evo'd that LB up to an 87 now and he's very good.
First time leaving a comment though I’ve watched u for many years 🙌🏼 I was grinding rivals and I had 3 people pausing and quitting when I got a free kick, and another just paused it as I was taking my shot. EA really needs to not allow to pause before a free kick as they do now with penalties. So frustrating.
Really disappointed in this promo for the pure fact that it could have been so original. They have put all of the players in their numbered positions (ex: LB=3, DM=6, RW=7) and yet they gave almost no position changes. Feels like they dropped the ball on this one so far
Bro it’s so crazy how boring peoples teams are nowadays. I run an account where I use my Ipswich evo cards and discard special cards that everyone overlooks and I have so much more fun. Yes I only get 8-9 wins in champs but being able to experience new cards is just class. Great vids keep up the good work ❤
good video today. Having a big pace split can be good once in a while. I evod a bronze player to 95 Spd and 86 ACC. when he went into the evo to give 92 sprint speed and accel separately he went to 94 pace instead of 92 cuz he got 95 sprint speed and 92 accel. We have had a few of those evos and will probably get more.
The thing is, if EA drop an EVO where you can boost an 87 player up to 91 with big stat boosts which are stat limited, along with necessary playstyles, that 87 Nwaneri card could suddenly become brilliant. Look how much today's EVO boosts composure up +15, for example. I would stick with it if I were you, and see what happens in the long run.
4 back defences are easy to split with passes because of the space between your CBs and your wing backs, i play a 3 back and the 3 CBs are tight together, forces the other team wide
My Newcastle Utd evo (plus special cards) team is coming on ok - I think the evo content has generally been good for me. What are you going to do with players that are transferred away from your club in January? I'd be sad to lose my 87 rated Almiron...
You kind of touched on it a bit, but im personally only evoing arsenal cards that might not get special cards e.g tomiyasu and Zinchenko, because I know the likes of Trossard and Havertz will inevitably get better promos, saves me wasting my time lol
Feel like going down that route with evos is just another version of the crappers? I’m an arsenal fan as well and did some research on creating a team of players that used to play for us or are on loan. Players like bireth, Sousa, sago jr, walters, Norton cuffy. Think you should do that and have to use them in qualifying or something
I only get frustrated with this game when i can tell my players arent playing to the best of their ability. Not passing, shotty dribbling etc. I mainly play offline, so i know how all of my cards function. But for some reason in rivals, there is insane passing delay to the point my players just dont pass and then lose the ball. And everytime i get close to the enemy net, i get connection blips which results in an easy tackle and a goal conceded. For someone whos trying to get better at the game, ita basically unplayable with how much it stacks against you online.
Regarding your point about EVOs and only completing an EVO when it gives the right stat / playstyle / role boost is 100% the right move, especially with these Flash EVOs and the example I have is my Bisseck Evo. Currently 86 rated with 88 Pace, 87 Physical and 86 Defending with mid 60s or 70s everywhere else. I put the Hunter flash evo on him and purposefully didn't finish the second part as it would have given him playstyles I don't want on him, but it did give a pace boost which is what I was targeting. Completing it would've also given him 8 total playstyles (Two of which are useless on him) which would make him ineligible for future flash EVOs. At the moment he'll still be eligible for EVOs in the future and is slowly becoming a first team player in my team.
Hi Nep - I think your idea of evolving the bronze cards is too similar to the crappers. I do an all united evo team. When an evo isn't the best I put it on the united cards which are never gonna get a look in as I hate not doing one but don't sacrifice my evo cards that have potential to get in the team . Worst case, I do united cults such as Herrera, Young etc.
You aren’t obliged to use all the evo’s that are available. I mean, evo’ing players who you don’t know or haven’t a connection with is juist forcing content. I think nobody care about a Korean evo. We all know you aren’t going to use them in the main squad. I’m running a Milan (inter and AC) squad. If no player fit, then I’ll leave the evo. Just evo the Arsenal players if you can.
Great analysis, thank you! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

EA have done it again with the Haaland glitch, punishing people who grind the game as usual
Right did the obj like a week ago

I really like the fact that that Larsen card got an upgrade. He became big at my favourite club, FC Groningen.
I put the weak foot upgrade evo on Munoz before he got upgraded. Big W!

As a wolves fan I tried to get on with the 87 Larsen couldn't, his upgrade has made him cracked absolutely unreal

It's Ea what did you expect shit game stopped playing today
loved the long ball last minute goal. never under estimate the odd long ball
