thanks for the responses. today no matter how many times i shot towards goal during my cup and league games the ball just wouldn't go in (hit the bar, goes wide, hits defender etc i even slipped and fell before taking the shot i had never seen that one) the other guy's one star goal keeper had some pretty good saves against all my forwards that are FAR superior in quality...
i've put a lot of time into my team and this game, i watch 95% of my matches etc so its really frustrating especially when its obvious that some of these weaker teams i'm facing are pretty much abandoned by their managers
