What happened?
Basically there’s been some messages from a discord posted online which involves a group of FIFA Pros trying to stream snipe Nick Runthefutmarket, to either try and stop him getting top 100 or just to try and get an ‘easier’ match.

What?

It’s not a easy match when Nick himself is on 28-0 and in good form.

So why bother doing it then? Nick isn’t a pro, he’s a YouTuber. To them he is an easier matchup. It’s just pathetic from them.

Yes the response online is a bit over the top, which it always is for anything,but Jukez apologised and that should be the end of it for me.

So what if he’s a YouTuber or not a pro? He’s gonna have to play people. If people want to try and match other people then it’s a free country. At the end of the day Nicks a decent player and has a good squad. It might have backfired on them also considering he’s been playing pretty decent last few weeks.

I can understand moaning about stream sniping when someone keeps joining you in a FPS and starts shooting behind you, so everyone knows your location on the map and yes I have seen that happen to streamers or getting team killed.

Nick is a good player but he ain’t a pro. They are better than him. I don’t really get why you’re trying to justify this.

So?

Nicks better than all the other 28 people he faces, so oh no he shouldn’t play them. He shouldn’t be playing those 250k squads with his Gullit, Messi, Neymar and the rest.

So what if he faces a pro? Is there a rule to say youtuber can’t face pros now especially when they on streaks?

They might be pros, but you making Nick sound like he’s some novice who has started playing. Is it fair to his opponents that they playing him considering he probably plays the game 10 hours a day and most of them probably don’t even play that in a week. He’s a pro to them, so let’s have a cry about that too.

There’s a bigger issue on Fifa and I find it funny the community is crying about this just look at the tweets at Jukez. If only that sort of energy could be used on more important issues like server and gameplay. But oh no we’d cry more about some streamer on 28-0 and people trying to play him.

Also like I keep telling you as you have difficulty understanding this there are no easy matches in Fifa especially with the team Nick has. The skill gap isn’t that high especially when you play someone who knows what they doing and it could have backfired on them.

Who said anywhere that they’re not allowed to play each other? It’s the fact that they deliberately tried to seek him out that is the issue obviously :houllier:

It’s embarrassing behaviour just face it.

Why is it a issue? Should he continue playing bums. They wanted a challenge and he would have given them one. Considering they were also probably on 27 or something undefeated the last thing a lot of people would wanna do is come up against someone else with a similar record especially being that close to 30. It’s not like they all hopped on another account and were hoping to match Nick. They had something to lose too.

For me when people are like 25-0 they should be playing people with similar records. He shouldn’t be scared of playing pros or coming up against them when he’s 28-0. It’s not like the word pro means a lot in Fifa considering how the game is built. Also who should these so called pros play? It’s not fair apparently they looking to play some guy who is on 28-0 as he clearly isn’t good at the game. Maybe they should just stick to bashing some poor sap who barely plays every week.

Pros coming up against Nick isn’t the problem here. But we all know a lot of them are in discords or whatever and telling each other when they searching to avoid playing each other. That’s the bigger problem.

Stream sniping is banned. End of story pal. That’s what’s wrong with it.

I’m not saying anything more on it because I don’t really care that much. I’m not really even a fan of Nick or anything.

I actually don't really see an issue here.

If Jukez or any other top player wants to match against a top player to try and stop him going 30-0, so beit.
On the flip side, these pros could lose and end up with a worse record themselves.

I'd also say Nick makes a lot of money from the community and has a team paid for, not deserved, so take the rough with the smooth.
The only thing I'd frown upon is top players avoiding top players.
I read at one point, these youtubers etc would only play at home and because they all did it, they'd know they wouldn't face each other

What is stream sniping and how do you control who you play? I don't get what they're trying to do.
Think they're hitting play game at the same time as him in the hope that they match him. I guess all having strong records, the pool of players you can face is narrowed, so trying to play at the same time may give you a good chance of matching

Watching Jukez play, it really gives me inspiration to want to play Fifa
They way he plays is completely different to me. My best was 20-8 in WL.
(Which to be fair, considering I play Fifa for roughly two months of the year, it's a good record.)
But the stress of playing 30 games, most of which are really close, and normally won by a single goal is tough, whereas Jukez plays around 10 full games, 20 rage quit, so his weekend is freed up a lot more, but even the wins are comfortable.

To be honest though, I really can't be bothered buying the game. It'd be nice to play people and get feedback, but I guess having a 90 rated squad can't be given in feedback :lol:

Pretty much this. They had more to lose than Nick. If Nick loses he’s still had a very good weekend. If they win it’s oh because he’s a pro. If they lose they will be ridiculed. Not forgetting their records.

But we got Officer Berba in here telling us stream sniping is banned. It’s like they went on new accounts and decided they going to search for Nick to sabotage his record with no loss of their own.

I seen way worse stream sniping. I seen people unable to play COD at times or BF because some looney on their team is following them and shooting bullets behind them whilst letting the whole map know hey we here come shoot at us. It’s the same in rainbow six where they’d join up and team kill.

Grow up. You think they genuinely care about losing 1 game in a WL? The motive on this was different.

They were seeking him out to be cnuts so he didn’t get T100. It’s petty and pathetic. Nick has been doing great and spent very little real money to achieve his success. The community is just so toxic that instead of praise you get people like this that act petty and jealous because they spent £££ on their team and achieve similar results so they have to knock him down a peg.

Stop trying to blow smoke up Jukez ass, he recognised he was out of order and apologised. That’s fair enough. It should be left there.

There’s loads of shit like this that goes on in the pro world though.

The only one blowing smoke up somebodies arse is you.

Nick was 28-0 he has to play somebody good at one stage ffs. So what if he plays a pro? So what if a pro matches up against him? So he shouldn’t play anyone good, so you can be his proud uncle telling me about all his achievements. If he beats them he gets top 100. If he loses then clearly he doesn’t deserve to be in the top 100. What part of that don’t you get? The PSN scene is a lot more competitive this year so of course a lot of these pros will want to finish top 100.

Also Jukez probably apologised because of all the non stop abuse which he is still getting by the way just take a look at his feed.

Watching someones stream and trying to join their game.

In this case it wasn’t even nothing. Like I said I seen far worse done to COD and Rainbow six streamers.

Also Nick could delay his stream or cover whenever he is searching but that would be too much wouldn’t it @Berbaclass. That’s just way too complicated considering nearly every Fifa streamer seems to do it.

There's always a delay on streaming anyway isn't there?

Also is it not easy to stop by just blanking the screen for 30 seconds while you press start?

Also, to me it's a risk you take if you stream, especially if you're making money from streaming.

I don’t care about Nick at all. I don’t watch him.

Nah they got that low latency option now. So delay can be as little as one sec. Berbas idol has that turned on. Just could turn that off when playing weekend league and he can stop crying when he meets somebody good.

Waste of time arguing with you if you’re just immature, like a lot of the FIFA community TBF

Played 10 of my WL games and I just have no desire to finish. Probably just because I’m trash and don’t want to constantly get hammered :lol:

Think I’m 3-7 which is about right for what I deserve.

Surely with the matchmaking system it implements you can get some favourable matchups and turn it around!

Then again, I can see why you would choose not to rejoin the sweat fest. The relief you feel when you hit your personal target in WL is just not something that should be associated with any video game. :lol:

I hope so tbh. Last week I just kept getting people that were better than me and I just got frustrated. Might play 10 and see how it goes. I only want 11 wins if I can get that. I’d be fine with Silver 1

Got Gold 3 in my first ever Champs having not played since 17. Happy with that but have 10 games left so might try pick up some more wins. God it's not good for your health but rewarding being F2P.

They seriously need to fix the heading. It's so bad and the objectives are to score a cross. F**king trolls.

I don't think thered be queues in that group trying to play joksan, tekkz, nicolás etc.. when they are on same record do you? It was absolutely looking for an easy game by those that did.

Nick earns his money through his job just like anyone else. I'm not a fan of his but it is what it is.

Jukez though did feck all wrong and doesn't deserve the abuse he's getting at all. It was a bit of fun that probably ended up getting out of hand. Far as I know he wasn't searching or looking to play Nick was just in chat. He didn't stream snipe anyone.

You are completely missing the point buddy. If he matches a pro fair and square, tough for him. But when pros are timing their searches for favorable games, it's an issue. Nick is not close on that level of player, he's them trying to cherry pick an easy game rather than pull another pro.

Yes they were probably acting the cnut for a laugh as opposed to something nefarious but I can see EA coming down hard on this and they should.

Jukez will be fine as he wasn't sniping Nick but the two who searched him should be in trouble.

Haha, I had a dude message me earlier and it was something to that effect. Hope he’s worth it man, I came up against a guy earlier who was using him and he was quite hard to defend against.

I have three goals from crosses left to score, then I’ll have Dzeko completed, along with all of the weekly XP challenges. That Zaha is getting close, just hope he’s worth it.

The crossing is a bitch. Heading in this game is a disaster He better be good, thought the stats would be more crazier like last year, like fellaini. Yeah hope I can get to zaha. Hes the main goal. On level 27 at the moment.

5* week foot is very nice and a Marksman chem style boosts him to a 93 rated striker. I just hope the agility doesn’t let him down. Even if it does, it’s still a nice little card to have in your club and definitely good to have up your sleeve for future First Owner events.

Gone from 3-7 to 14-11

Pretty happy with that considering I play with Lindelof and N’Didi at CB :lol:

Well done, man. I knew you could do it. Curious - What’s the thinking behind that pairing? If you’re balling a budget, Rüdiger is your best friend. Very good little card for 1k.

Then again, if Ndidi floats your boat, don’t let me dissuade you! :D

Thanks man, finished 16-14 in the end. Bottled gold 2 but happy with the rewards for G3. Finished Silver 2 last week!

Purely because I start in 4-4-2 and switch to 3-4-1-2 in game.

My team is looks like this in game


I use N’Didi because he’s probably the best PL option as a CM to use at CB because of his height. He's decent on the ball cause I like to play out from the back etc. too. Thinking of upgrading to the IF also but I packed that IF Gundogan so might use Allan at the RCB role and use Gundogan as a DM next to Pep.

Glad I played my games too, experienced little delay/lag and was actually fun to play/had some really good games.

Only got the Battles to do as part of the dzeko card and I accidentally done all of the week 4 gold as well while finishing it, now to do the week 3 gold for the rest of the week to get me to less than 20k for the zaha card
