Hi Everyone,

I know you need to tweak a game to make its best but sometimes matches feel so damn random and it is highly frustrating. Just when I think the game is starting to be more realistic I get a result that makes no sense. Now I know straight away I will get people saying that happens in football but it has been happening ALOT lately in the game. I have a strong team, all have special skills that can work in multiple positions and I play logical positions/orders against opponents (I am in my 9th season, I have won all my leagues, 4 CL and one cup).

Generally I like to buy a couple of scouts to give my team a bit of extra impact on the pitch at the start of every season. Sadly I have been so frustrated by random results that make no sense. Today alone I lost 5-0 to a team 14 teams points lower than me in the CL. All my players had high Morale/Conditioning and form was good also. He played a 5-3N-2 and I played a 4-3N-2(AML,AMR)-1 playing down the flanks. I had a much stronger players across the pitch, especially in midfield. He had a poor defence so I naturally thought I would beat him. As soon as he started scoring I changed my tactics to 4-4-2 then 3N-4-1-2 but it was like hitting a brick wall. This is not an isolated incident.

I have played teams in the league at home that would be considered poor with bloody goalkeepers in midfield who somehow scored against me and I struggled to return the favour. I have usually gotten results that made no sense in the past but never this consistently. This naturally enough puts me off the game as I feel like I am just pulling random cards from a deck and hoping for the highest number.

Am I the only one experiencing this?

Many thanks,

Shak.
