Fixed Games

When I first started playing this game I thought it was realy good.
But then started noticing a pattern taking place.

If you didnt buy tokens, your club rating was very poor, the teams recovery was slow, and you lost more games than you won.
You buy tokens all of a sudden your winning matches, clubs improving.
All very understandable considering to make a top team you need to spend money, but sometimes i think the creaters of this game are taking the piss.

How the hell does this work ? Got beaten by Walcott FC.



This has got to be fixed, beaten teams with a much higher rating and better players than this team.

Sorry maybe I didnt buy enough tokens this month.
Even lost in the cup to a lesser team similar to this teams ratings.

Wont be back next season its a friggan con.

Do you wanna know why you lost against Walcott FC? You were playing an illegal formation, you had 3 players on the right side of the field, check the statistics you would of had 20% possession, you can only have 1 or 2 players on each flank or its illegal formation.

Dude use your head not your money.

Thats news to me, the guidelines only state minimum requirements as far as I'm aware. IE. two flank players.
IMO, the post above is correct, the game engine likes to kick ass at times against all star teams.

He had 3 players on the right and as far as I'm aware thats an illegal formation.

A formaçao dele deveria ser

-------ST-------
AML---------AMR

ML----MC----MR

DL---DC-DC---DR

-------GK-------

Com o meio Vazio Facil,Facil para fazer o gol

This is something normal, it happen to all (same for me, I don't like it) but thats how they made the game.

If you played with that formation above, you would lose most of your games.

Thanks for the input guys, and yes I did play with 3 down the right but this was an error. I was swapping players around and forgot to move the AMR for an AMC. Never mind live and learn.

its all about trying to get money out you pal, just dont fall for the trick and waste money on a game which you use to pass an hour away each day or so, take it with a pinch of salt and plod on or delete the app....

You didn't read any posts, did you?

Forgive me, forum newbie here but why can this formation not be used? Oh and because is illegal is not the answer I'm after before the trolls step in..

July actually stated the reason in post 2 in this whole thread.

Yeah I saw that post, but it doesn't answer my question. I want to know why it's 'illegal' to have 3 players playing down the right/left hand side? What's the reason for it?

Oh, I'm not sure about that either. Possibly you have not enough players in the middle according to the system.

is that why you ask others to help you beat opponents in tactics forum?

I'm another who would like to know why.
I certainly do not see it as a illegal formation.
Why? because on two occasions in the group CL matches I countered a formation with three players on one side against a asymmetric formation.
Won both games and no possession loss.
It's time the basic requirements for complying with what is deemed to be legal or illegal formations are made clear for all.
How can you play a game fairly with out rules.
A missed opportunity the other week when we had the Q&A with the developers. :( doubt we would have got the answer though.

I have a feeling you may be talking to yourself, since his last tantrum.
Think he will be in the naughty corner with the lights off. :)

Well I only joined yesterday so I missed that, I have few questions I'd like answering.. I just don't understand how a formation can be "illegal".. Surely any formation a manager deems necessary should be appropriate?

Unfortunately not so in this game.
When the game engine takes over 3min before KO this is when it runs the teams working out the percentages Etc. leaving just the support to add as and when they join, you will notice if you join the game late (after KO) it takes 5 minutes (game time or more) for the engine to alter the possession.

But what does that have to do with a formation?

Not a lot I was just explaining in my way, how the game engine decides on certain factors, during that time (3min before KO) is when it decides illegal formations.
Look! the only way you will find out in your case it to play the same formation again in similar conditions, same players against similar quality as the last team and see what happens.
It could well have just been random and this is why the forum is full of questions like this, noone can give a definitive answer because of this.
RANDOM! events baffles all of us. :(

Actually the "randomness" puts a bit of human factor into the game, like upsets (Bradford v Aston Villa). Moreover I find this game very intriguing cos the players are almost "human like". You do not give them games, their morale drop. If they are of the lowest quality in the squad, their morale drops cos they are likely to be the next one offloaded. If the one with the lowest quality gets a chance to play, they are likely to turn in a good performance (7 or 8) cos they want to impress the Manager not to release them.

Just a Great Game.............that cost MONEY!!

All these thing are mighty fine to know but they still don't answer my question as to how any formation can be deemed illegal? I don't want to know what formations, I don't want to know anything other than the reason why any formation is illegal?

They use the forum too, I'm waiting for an answer..

what do you expect lol. Its a cheap **** manager game. Theres no effort atall with the match engine etc. People who are winning cups & leagues are pumping cash into it. Just enjoy it, don't be a gimp & spend cash on it because it's not worth it. The developers don't give a fk xD
