Can we have a 'status screen' for the servers. The maintenance board has not been updated since 2012.

my past three games my midfielders have decided to go psycho out of nowhere. Last two was against the same opposition... one in the champions league and one in the league. I'm in the semi-finals of the champions league away for the first match... I'm up 1-0 and leading comfortably with possession and one of my midfielders just rages and spits on a player... first time EVER this has happened and of all times NOW? Then lo and behold in the league match I'm winning 2-1 at home.. absolutely destroying him in possession (+15 bonus) and everything... he scores to tie it up 2-2 then immediately after my midfielder rages again and gets a second yellow. lol... so now the second place team in my league is 3 points away from me.. lol.. I have a feeling Nordeus is trying to make it interesting? but be fair because my team hasn't had discipline problems before but now ALL OF A SUDDEN everyone has psychological problems? no chance in tactic or anything.. i run a 4-3-3- barca like system.. have won the league and champions league past two seasons.. first season i won the league (I'm 4 seasons in). I have bought tokens once in a while. maybe 20 dollars in total in 3 months so not a big amount at all but after seeing how this system works it truly is a luckfest later on... so i will never spend another penny on this game and suggest anyone who is to PLEASE STOP. lol .. and to whoever is wondering? im not a sore loser at all.. I even sent this guy a friend request after all of this .. just i dont understand.. I'm winning comfortably then all of a sudden the game has to step in and make it interesting.. sigh..it's not fair but neither is life.

I cannot believe this!!! I am in fourth place in league. Last three games I beat the teams in 1, 2, and 3 (I actually caused the table to shift twice by beating top spot!). Today I play a slumping rival in six place. His team rated 41.8 playing a 4-1-3W-2. My team rated 46.5 playing a 4-5V-1 with three players who are on the top five chart for goals! The result?! 1-0 Loss?!

Looks like he scored a penalty when your man was sent off - presumably spitting? And your 10 men couldn't equalise. I know the counter-formation table says 4-5-1 is a counter to his formation, but I actually reckon 4-4-2 would have been the better counter

My team is built around 4-5V-1 and I've beaten this rival in the past with that formation. It boggles my mind my team was unable to score. His defensive line includes two three star players while mine includes three scouts and a five star player. Shots on goal were even. I had more corners and I have two corner specialists.

I play a 4-1-3W-1-1 (same as the listed formation basicall) and all season have struggled against the standard 4-4-2

I'm done with this game to be honest. Thanks but no thanks to Nordeus.. .just saw some of the most baffling results in my life out of nowhere against opposition i was thrashing 7-0 and the like... Nordeus wanted to make it interesting... well i will too and totally uninstall this game. It's not worth the time tbh. Good luck everyone but this engine is so random and weird I can't deal with it. I know that real life football is random but i half of my starting line up are fk specialist. They never score free kicks.. but my opposition gets two free kicks... not one free kick specialist with players 2-3 stars below mine and they score those fks like its no tomorrow. It's happened the past 4 games and these past 4 games have kicked me out of the CL as well as handed over the title to someone 8 stars below me. Not to mention my midfielders are completely mental now as well my GK only decides to show up when he wants to.. but the thing is HE NEVER wants to now. Was cruising pretty much this whole season now all of a sudden the last 4 games this madness? It's crazy... and whats funnier is I tried my tactics out on a friend who was 6 stars better than my team. I drew the first time 2-2 and then beat him 4-2 at his place both times... so I know my tactics are sound just this engine is S-H-I-T. Goodbye .. you will never get another second from me Nordeus.. I know you don't care because 1,000s will sign up by the time i finish this message but this game is rubbish.. im just being realistic. I have never been a sore loser but what has happened in the past few days truly doesn't make one bit of sense to me.

I still have a chance for the title... because we are tied on pts so it really is a toss up but I really should be around 9 pts clear by now(some straight BS results). He is ahead on GD and he has one tough match left.. one toss up and one easy match left and I have 3 easy matches left. Hopefully I can score 5 goals a game and he only scores 1 a game for the next three? but who knows... with the way this game has been going i will probably lose the remaining three by 3 goals each and he will win the remaining three emphatically by 5 goals each. Thanks Nordeus you truly are a brilliant lot of folks over there huh....

I might have overreacted a bit in one of my recent posts but it is a bit frustrating. I have great players.. who have been playing rather well.... then all of a sudden outrageous results and reactions from my players.... I rarely get double yellows... straight reds but my midfield is mental now for some reason? and so many wasted free kicks and corners.. but i have fk specialist and corner specialist and they have always performed until now.. maybe once in a while i will get a fk goal and rarely corners anymore. It's like my team are literally buckling under the pressure kinda like barca last season in the league. The league should have been there's and even after shock results and they even had a chance to seal the title at Camp Nou and STILL couldn't do it. ... I play a 4-3-3 barca style so maybe I have the BARCA curse now? Barca mes que un club. I'm still playing the game guys.. just learning to not get so frustrated with it from time to time I have been cheated yes... but its just a game at the end of the day and I enjoy it sometimes even the random weirdness included.

Sometimes a good Team goes through a slump, and if your midfielder's been awful that has an inpact. Also the second half of a Season is so much harder since everyone has played each other.

Keep trying your best, have fun & good luck!!
