It just "feels" a little "unfair" (maybe that's the wrong word), that some people have all that knowledge, and are not willing to share it. And it's a lot more fun to practice for competitions and tournaments in a group, share info, and then enter the competition or tournament together. I've been making friends as well, in the last couple of weeks. To me it's rewarding to see someone do well if any info I gave them helped at all. Lately, I've branched out and made more friends which has helped my knowledge base tremendously. We share knowledge with each other and are happy when any of us finish top ten. I was going it alone for a long time trying to figure this stuff out along with my wife and managed to do well in a couple of comps. It might be worth thinking of a way to differentiate the player base a little more, by introducing kind of "intermediate" competitions. The latter might've played on the PC before, know their stuff, play in clans or clubs, have a lot of knowledge, and can invest a lot of time into the game. Of course, somebody who's playing on his own, maybe once or twice a week, can't keep up with the pro players. But there's a big difference between players who have just reached level 40, and players level 40 with a rank 150 or something. As of now, there's just the amateur competitions, and "the rest of the world". In my opinion, a relatively easy way to "fix" this, or keep more unexperienced players motivated, would be rank-based competitions. In others though, it's 50-100 for me, too. Like I said, in some competitions I've had more luck than others, and am able to compete in the top 10-30s. I get what you're saying, and I feel the same way. (.) what are we supposed to feel coming in 50 to 100 place for months (.) leave some meat on the bones for the average player maybe by not having the top say five percent winning (.) Something should be done internally in the game but dont see that coming. Its ashame the game comps has come down to this. Especially since one of the guys who took part in the same competition left by saying "this was the lobby of hell", and I've heard of people restarting the game, in order to get into another lobby, and shoot for better RNG there. I just wanna know if it's all luck at some point, or if it's really skill that makes a difference. I accept and embrace the fact that competitions and tournaments are harder than regular FP. Instead, I'd like to know: Did you guys make similar experiences? How do you practice for competitions and tournaments? Do you just play the competitions as often as you can, and do your practicing there? Or do you get the feeling that you can apply the experience you get by practicing in "real FP" to what you do in the competitions? So my question to the developers would be: how can that be? But I don't wanna ask them, since they most likely won't respond anyways They fight like a beast, and get away if I don't keep the left trigger pressed all the time. Almost all of the fish hooked themselves, none of them got away (due to loose lines), and I got into the flow.īut as soon as I enter the competition, my retrieve (that I did for 2 hours) doesn't work, my lure is going everywhere I don't want it to (the ground!), I get snags all the way, I can't hook the fish, and if I manage to hook one, they're like two times more aggressive than in regular FP. I went to Alberta 2 real-life hours before the competition started, and did some practicing. And that's OK, too.īut for some competitions, like Triple the Trout today, I just don't understand the difference between "regular FP" and "competition FP". I'm able to catch quite a lot of muskies nowadays, but if it's not 5,994 kgs, you're SOL&JWF. The uniques were just a little bit too small to compete with the top 3 players. Last time I took part in that competition, I was able to catch 2 uniques in one competition (yay!), and a pretty small one, too. the topwater pike competition in Louisiana (Dancing with Pike). I've had quite some success in some of the competitions. But no matter how many videos I watch, how much time I put into optimizing my setups (trying different rods, reels, and lines), going to the lakes, trying different retrieving techniques, forwarding time to the same conditions, changing the spots, changing the depths (for bobber fishing), trying to adjust to the weather, etc.: most of the times, the guys in the top 3 positions seem to catch about double the amount of fish I am able to catch. How do you guys practice for Competitions and Tournaments?Įver since I reached level 40, I was trying to compete against other fisherman. But since that's what everybody's doing, and it doesn't help, I'm gonna try to take a different approach, and ask you guys a question: I was just about to post a rant to the developers, and complain about the game again.
