But are the losses that unrealistic?
As the EPL has been talked about in this thread, I'll continue this example.
Man Utd and Man City have the two most expensive squads in the EPL (around about 400m).
City played 16 - won 10 drawn 2 lost 4
Utd played 16 - won 7 drawn 4 lost 5
If City or Utd (400m) were a team in this game . they would be 6/7 star teams, whilst the likes of Hull and Cardiff (squads worth 30-40 million) would be 2/3 star teams. Yet the smaller teams still can win and win well in real life, so why not here in the game?
Losing to weaker teams is not unrealistic, it's annoying, but not unrealistic.
