What I do believe is that the result of the game is simulated based on the starting 11 you put out and the orders you set. This explains why sometimes you can never score after you make substitutions when you are 4-5 nil up by the 50th minute. Once you make a substitution, the game engine has to make a recalculation that may or may not skew the result.

I don't expect the game engine to rival Football Manager or Championship Manager as this is a web based game. I have low expectations on the logic of the game so I am easily contented. It's still a fun game to play for me, regardless of the ****ty results that could occur.
