You should consider this formation next time you play against a 4-4-2

Game "engine"... lol... What game engine?

Had you guys had any basics in programming.

There's no engine, just a bunch of pondered variables in a few lines of code to make you spend money, lines that could be thought out in COBOL back in 1970.

A friend of mine made a football result simulator in his spare time using FORTRAN, decades ago, it still works pretty well and more realistically than this game.

Feed them more, buy tokens for the "game engine"

I think "Engine" in this context does not mean engines like "Source Engine". Even if this game consists of few lines of code, it has to work more realistically.

an engine is still an engine even if it was invented before the dinosaurs. the scripted debate sounds legit though IMHO

heres an episode from an anime that summarizes every football (or soccer) game engine. if you dont want to watch the entire episode the football part starts at 13:00ish

yeah, even fifa has 'friendly fire' and 'possessed ball'

Well not to add fuel to the fire....But, I just finished the last 16 of the CL, got knocked out by a weaker team on away goals....the stats in both gemmes were overwhelmingly in my favour, anyhoo, out of interest I looked at the other games....of the 8 games in the last 16, 7 weaker teams went through to the last 8....only ONE gemme where the better team won....realistic?

I think not....!!

I prefer the word 'upset' like in real football. The game's engine is programmed to purposely give these results now and again. Otherwise if the stronger team won all the time it would be unrealistic and off putting to weaker teams.

so weaker teams winning more often than "usual" is realistic? Marc, lets get downto brass tacks here. it would be best to define what is usual or expected. out of 100 games, how many times in real life would you say that a serious underdog wins? if we can find middle ground between us, at least we agree on how to judge things.

I played 26 league games and lost none! - Therefore from my experience weaker teams do not win very often. BUT this is a game and of course the chances of the under dog winning are going to be increased, again if the underdog won as little as in real life weaker teams would lose interest.

this isnt about weaker teams losing interest. this is about winning. this is a game and people want to win every game unless you tank of course. that aside, give me a number out of 100 that an underdog team in the EPL should win. then out of 100 for la liga, then 100 out of bundesliga.

those 3 should give a fair average and then I will add mine, and we will get a few other voluteers to give us their numbers, first 3 to respond and that gives us 5 sets of numbers to average. then we can compare results a bit easier knowing what we think are troll results with a few more items. but this first
