CDM trying to be a threat when I shoot — 82 long shots + 75 shot power vs 75 long shots + 80 shot power. Which matters more?

Playing CDM on Recycler archetype. I've been investing more in my scoring lately and my finishing is now sitting at 75, which is the threshold to unlock Finesse Shot playstyle. So when I do get a shooting opportunity, I want to actually convert it, either force a corner or score.

The dilemma I'm stuck on is this: I have AP left to allocate and I'm deciding between two options.

Option A: 82 long shots / 75 shot power

Option B: 75 long shots / 80 shot power

As a CDM I'm not getting into the box often. Most of my shooting chances are from range, when the ball falls to me outside the box, I want to shoot with purpose. I'm running Finesse Shot as a custom playstyle, and my curve is at 80. Occasionally I'll be in a 1v1 or just inside the box, but that's rare.

Which stat should I prioritize and why? Is there a meaningful difference in how the game calculates these two for a CDM shooting from 20-25 yards?

So I picked up a VW Atlas as a rental for a road trip and honestly did not expect much from the driver assistance tech. I figured it would be the usual half-baked ACC that freaks out at lane changes and pumps the brakes for no reason.

It was not that at all.

I got stuck in some gnarly stop-and-go traffic on the highway and just... let the car handle it. It followed the car ahead smoothly, braked confidently without that jerky last-second lurch, and picked speed back up naturally when traffic opened. It even held its lane through a few gradual curves without me touching the wheel. At one point I caught myself thinking "I would not actually hate my commute in this thing," which is not something I ever say about rush hour.

What got me was how composed it felt. It did not feel like a feature bolted on to check a box — it felt like it was actually tuned. I have not spent enough time with others in that range to make a fair comparison, which is partly why I am asking.

Now I am genuinely curious before I consider buying something in this class.

Have any of you used ACC on the Atlas or owned one long-term? Does it hold up or was I just lucky with a good unit?

And in that price range, is there an SUV with a more refined or capable ACC system? I want to know if Atlas is legitimately competitive here or if I should be looking elsewhere.

Title: Rented a VW Atlas last week and the Adaptive Cruise Control genuinely impressed me — is it best in class for the price?

I've been playing on iPhone for a while and can't find a clear explanation of how ranking points are calculated — not the in-game match score, but the league/tournament ranking points that determine your standing.

Specifically trying to understand:

- What determines how many points you earn per tournament finish?

- Is it purely placement-based, or does your score within the tournament matter?

- Are points cumulative across tournaments, or reset each season?

- What's the threshold to move up/down in leagues?

I've checked the in-app info, the official site, and GameFAQs — nothing gives a clear breakdown. Has anyone reverse-engineered this or found an official source?

Thanks
