Home and Away, does it matter, should it matter?

[khris]

I always said-.... the game don't have a big margin to give advantadge to one or another team... the Quality mean a lot, the internal proggramming mean a lot... then you can have some penalties, for wrong positions, no bonus for victory... whatch or no see the match... and... more things that I've always said for these lands but now dont remember LOL

So if we have to say if theres a difference between matches out and home, I will say that we have only the 5% possession... in other senses... the players work in same sense... and the game do exactly the same out and innnn.... ...and if we have to analyze if 5% of possession mean or not I will say that 5% maybe don't.. but the 8% of you mean, by my viewpoint and give more chances to one... so 8 +5 ... at the end can be the differance... yeah... just a 5% can be some more occasions.. more control...

I also think Home / Away do need to be played differently, and that it is more important difference in Cup or CL than League, and friendlies not so much.

Whether you are home or away, doesn't matter, unless it is a cup game and away goals come into play. Other than that there is no obvious proof that you are stronger playing at home (possession is shady as someone mentioned). Possession probably has 5% impact on your play. I think the way the logic is set, you should worry more about chances created and shot efficiency - which directly tells you how good your players are!

You get more chances to score at home, thus more goals.

The way the game is programmed, it's irrelevant. I've scored more goals away than at home.

Nice post, I always seem to perform poorly away than home, maybe it has something to do with the possession factor. but I do agree with what everyone has said about cup games and going for the away goal as nobody likes to be knocked out on the away goals rule.

Playing at home means you don't have to hire a bus.

Whether you play defensive or attacking or both or....is a judgement on what will do the job in any given game. I play defensive or attacking based on 3 criteria - 1. the quality of opponent 2. the effectiveness of my formation v oppononent's 3. the outcome I want. I do not factor in whether its home or away.

(Occasionally I might want or be required to use a formation that is not optimal so if I decide that changing the mentality improves that I will change it.)

That's an isolated sample.

No one knows how the game is programmed, we can only guess from observing.

In the end of the season, compare the number of goals scored home and away and you'll see that you always get more at home.

I don't know why. It's just the way that it is.

Exactly. You know how the game is programmed from observing. And the conclusion is and at the end of the day, this is still jst a mobile/web-based game which requires no skill and really very much depends on the players you buy.

So let's jst have fun playing instead of over-analyzing simple A-B-Cs!
