Are results pre-determined before a ball is kicked?

[MDKII]

Ok, Mr. Administrator, can you explain about this fact?

With all due respect to both yourself and Accyrover, that's not a fact, but anecdotal evidence at best.

I actually asked around today whether results were pre-determined. I assumed they weren't, but asked anyway on the off-chance that I was wrong. What happened two weeks ago when all the matches were "simulated" is a feature that exists, primarily for testing purposes, but it's not something that should happen on the Live servers. It sadly did, but the matches were still calculated then, taking all available variables into account. When matches are actually played Live, it takes into account you watching it, substitutions, additional supporters and other factors.

Results aren't pre-determined.

I know conspiracy theories are fun, and I've read a good deal of them here so far (as well as on other game forums I've taken part in as a member), but in the end, it's my word against whoever claims otherwise. If you don't want to believe an official answer on a subject, then there's nothing I can really say, is there?

It's fixed for sure.

I concur, results might be pre dermined just to make it intresting...throwing some spanners in the work

It's fixed for sure.

IMO, I think it's surely fixed. I've tried to play a friendly match between my two teams (just call A ad B team). It was 1-0 for A at the 60th minute, so I have put a ST subtituted for the GK of team A. What do you think ? With 20 minute left, team B could not score a goal and was lost 1 more. Remember that team B's quality is better (23.4) than team A (15.6) and both team played with the same formation and tactics (4-5-1V motivation with normal mental). After the match, the subtituted ST'mark was 8 lol.
I hope some of you would try more to have the exact answer.

I today substituted on of my midfielders in a cup match,Justino on for Mensah, Justino scored 2 goals in the space of 6 mins, Something that Mensah is quite clearly capable of doing so in a normal game, so maybe Mensah was due to score 2 goals in the game, I'd like to see a player that comes on for an Injured player and score or assist another player afterwards.

I'm sorry to read your reply MDKII.
So you are alleging that I'm falsifying my post to form some sort of conspiracy, (anecdotal) is that correct?

Perhaps if you read other posts on this subject you would know that dv8r has seem the same updates on his server Re. results.

Guess we are both seeing the mirage then.

lol its fixed mods....if only i can copy paste the match comment in here you will something really REAL. i will screenshot it after the maintenance.

I think the only way to prove that the games are NOT pre-determined is by getting a substitute player that substitutes an injured player and scores a goal or makes an assist, reason being would be the match engine would not be able to determine that would happen before kick-off because its a result of your manager interaction during mid-game.

i think this is not a good way to prove if the game is pre-determined. any change we make during game time can alter the game results. substitution, change in formation/orders, managers/friends joining match, etc. making illegal position during the game can make a better team 'pre-determined' to win to suddenly lose to a worse team. i'm not really sure if there is a way to prove this aside from what accyrover has mentioned.

Santos Lima comes in and scores.I made the substitution.
