Mythbusters of top eleven

I think games aren't scripted, else when I switched from down both flanks to through the middle it worked. I play on Android, so I can see the animations.

If the game actually was scripted beforehand, how would you explaine such game changing live events as substitutions

the script will just change the name of the player during the playback of the script. pretty easy to explain.

I think that there is a possibility that it is more like those choice books, where you get to a point in the game where you have to choose which path to go and if you choose path A, you go to page 14, and if you choose path B, you go to page 16 and it goes from there.

But then again, I find it hard to believe that I can win so many games with everyone in a crap formation with my worst players playing hard defensive and mixed on easy. I got promoted 3 years in a row, the most recent seasons, when trying to tank - 5th place, 5th place and then the dreaded 8th place. Very frustrating. Finally managed to tank this season. will have to tank next season as well just to catch up.

yes, that's a possible scenario.
I like fantasy games, books & movies, so I have 2-3 books that style (Dungeon & Dragons stories).
Well, if you have a bad roll dice and you made the wrong choice, you 'll end in the dungeon with the unbeatable dragon - lol *
(but still, you 're taking some decisions)

* Here is where forum chief, @PricopGeorgeCătălin, fell into Dragons lair
and I 'm sure that he knows more than anyone that the game isn't scripted

So, what we have here so far. There are countless posts in the forum saying
Why I lost that game (or couldn’t won)
-I have better quality players * as I said, 1-2* and some times more, specially in higher levels cannot guarantee the victory
-My formation is proper (or opponents form. wasn’t correct) * this just gives a bonus but not guarantee either
-I watch the game, oppo wasn’t there * the same (and want to add here, ok, you were watching but did you make the right coaching ?)
-I had also supporters, ball possession and more shots * that also gives a bonus but not guarantee
-I always give bonus while oppo team is like abandoned * bonus maybe can give a +1,2,3 or 4% but not guarantee

I want to say here that the manager/team who’s playing with those conditions, in a long term he‘ll have successful career and titles.

But sometimes it’s about other things : the form of the players, maybe a bad chemistry of the team, good/bad day of some key players, right/wrong subs, excellent performance of oppo specialists (free-kick, corners), wrong decisions in orders (switch to attack/hard attack, hard tackling, wrong arrows, man-to-man) and of course the most important, bad roll dice of the game.

A Myth (or an advice) is saying that you mustn't accept a friend request from a team you 're playing in the same competition.
With that way, your friend/opponent can organize a friendly game with your team and learn how to play in the between official game.
Well, that's a myth.
Friendly games have different calculations than the official games and in general, a t11 game never is the same again.
There are too many factors that affect it and it various every time.
You can see an example in the Mythbusters lab here, post #9
http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...sters-lab.html

Beyond the Myth :
I try not to make friends from my competitions. The reason isn't that the other manager will discover my secrets but because (probably) I 'll have to support him in some games and I don't want the other teams to misunderstand that (because they don't know we 're friends).
Another reason is that my "friend" 'll know my games schedule so he could switch our game in an inconvenient for me hour.

Myths with trolls - scripted decisions chapter
Almost in every season, a team "must" have 1-2 troll results.
Well, I think it's true.
A troll result it's not only against weaker teams but also vs good teams (usually when oppo manager isn't watching).
There are some "signs" it troll games.
One sign is a "fixed" red (from two yellows) card.
Here is a game of a friend.
When he saw that his player Cadenet at 44' got a yellow card, he made a sub
The game didn't made the sub, kept him in the game and at 57' he got the second yellow >red card.
After that, oppo scored twice.


Here we can see the min, he got the 2nd card. The order for the sub was given in the break but he's still playing (to get the card ).

[Gert Funck]

This, sadly, sound very familiar

[nikolgiorgos]

Here is my first leg in the Cup, yesterday.
Started very good, 2 goals very early.
Ok, an easy noon I thought.
But then oppo manager started watching and his team scored.
Also started to be more active.
I made a sub and the player who came in, scored in the last minutes.
- I know, some times it seems that nothing can change the flaw of the game, whatever we choose (orders, formations, subs)
but many times it's so obvious that the game is so interactive .

[Timmy Tee]

I don't know if this is classed as a myth or not, but it's something I've noticed. A player "awed" by a superior opposition.

You have a player that has a fantastic record from free kicks, it's almost guaranteed that he'll score or force a good save, but suddenly you are up against a higher quality team and although he's performing well, he forgets how to take free kicks. They hit the wall or fly off target.

I can understand being outclassed in open play, or a high quality GK making it harder, but I don't accept that a player loses the ability to clear the wall when the defence is good. It's like more stars makes them 2.5 metres tall.

Anyone else experienced this?

[Killroy]

I recognize the consecutive yellow too. My MC got a yellow card and dropped in score hard. I made the substitution, wait, wait, wait, wait, 10 minutes later no sub. BAM, second yellow card. Thank you Nordeus.

My defender got a bad score. He was going down to 5,1. Wanted to sub him but he got injured (serves him right for playing poorly). In the 88th minute he gets substituted. 2 minutes later his substitute scores a 5,4 already. This would not make sense. I have seen this happening over and over. The only logical explanation I can think of is that it is scripted. There is no way a defender can drop a point in rating within 2 minutes. It also happens to all the defenders I have been subbing over the last 2 seasons.
