Crystal Palace which is battling relegation in the premier league just beat Chelsea 1-0 and Chelsea is one of the best teams in the world and this is in REAL LIFE. Chelsea beat PSG 2-0 but barley beat Swansea City 1-0 a few days later (even though Swansea City only had 10 men). THIS IS FOOTBALL, even if you have the best team in the world, it's impossible to win every game. Just because you lost against a weaker team doesn't mean the game is broken.. It makes the game realistic because even the strongest teams lose in real life.

sure those examples you mention are REAL LIFE, but how can you explain the majority of results where your GK gets injured, STRETCHERED OFF, and not replaced RIGHT AWAY, or even AT ALL, and you still win the game? That has happened to many people, not just one occasion. And you can still win with an illegal formation, no defenders even while you are playing with 2 men down as a result of red cards...the list goes on.

so you mention one result in REAL LIFE, and I can mention hundreds of posted, REAL T11 results that I have seen that show that people have every right to quit the game after one stupid result. the fact is, they have most likely had more than one stupid result, hence the stroll to the forum to complain finally.

and while we are on that, it IS possible to win EVERY game. I see here regularly that several people post they go 26-0-0 and not just once, several times. and even if they dont wen EVERY game, the go through a season unbeaten, and I just did that myself last season in one of my accounts.

so to quote you again:

you are correct in that one loss against a weaker team doesnt mean the game is broken, but factor in thousands of these losses every day to all the thousands(LOL) of people playing this game...its broken.

THIS IS NOT FOOTBALL. THIS IS A PISS-POOR, MATRIX-BASED RESULTS, FOOTBALL MANAGER WANNABE. (it just happens to be one of the easier ones out there to play, but certainly not the best...there HAS to be something better, but I havent had the inclination, nor the time to bother looking)
