Mythbusters of top eleven

[nikolgiorgos]

Hi guys
I had an idea to start this thread, inspired by this famous tv show.
If you don’t know, there are two guys who ‘re trying to find out if some myths, phrases, stories from books or movies scenes can really happen or it’s impossible – a myth.
I would like if you want, to contribute to that with your experiences from the game and find out together the myths (or facts) about many things of top eleven.
If you read something that also happened to you, you believe that’s the way, hit the like button (or fell free to share you experience).
If you don’t agree, post your opinion.
In this first post of the thread, I ‘ll gather and update all the myths (or not) we can find.
Thanks

Let's start with facilities
My first team NIK FC has finished all the facilities
so we can see that upgrading the grass, can decrease the injuries of the team (at the final lv, 50% ).
Well, I think that upgrading the grass of the stadium has no effect in injuries.
Another team I have (a poor 35T team), without spending money - I don't care, and low quality grass, I have less injuries.
I believe that there are other reasons that affect the injuries and stadium quality isn't one of them.
Also I can see that managers from higher levels, who have the final Arena, have the same injury problems as manager with early stadiums.
I think it's a MYTH.

Has any player scored with the overhead bicycle kick ?

[nikolgiorgos]

First aid - hospital facilities, saying that can help having not so serious injuries, or recovering faster some injuries.
I believe that the only thing this facility does, is to give some reds every few days and has nothing to do with the injury.
What kind if injury you can have, is a matter of luck (and maybe if at that time your player is fresh, has good condition and morale).
Then, you can just use reds for healing
So, First aid facility has nothing to do with injuries
MYTH

[nikolgiorgos]

Has any player scored with the overhead bicycle kick ?

in real football, you can see some players scoring with that but I never scored with that way.
So
The MYTH saying that no one ever scored with a bicycle kick.
Confirmed ?
From me it's a yes.

Myth or Truth? Adding a win bonus affects the players performance during a match?

I'd like to disagree. I power trained for a long time and noticed when I finished an upgrade drops in injury. Most things I won't argue, this game is nebulous. But. They claim a drop in injury, in the game. I had a long discussion about this awhile ago. When i have a pc I will dig it up.

[nikolgiorgos]

This is something I read about, as another one- if playing vs a opponent, abandoned team which hasn't upgrade the facilities, injury it's more possible.
I couldn't confirmed anything here.
My injuries are random or have periods (like 1 every two days). I 'm really surprised that somebody could noticed that (about the new lv of ground).
I 'll try to test it as I 'm begin with a new team from lv1.

[nikolgiorgos]

Training ground affects players progress in training.
I 'm sure that's a MYTH.
I trained a LOT of players, all the players have a (hidden) fix value in training, they can score between a specific range and training ground has no effect to their gaining results.

[nikolgiorgos]

Myth or Truth? Adding a win bonus affects the players performance during a match?

well, I played 17 finals in CH.L. and Cup.
I had max bonus to all of them (same in some difficult semi finals too).
So, I can't say that it didn't affect at all.
Maybe this just gives a +1%, +2,3,4% but we can't say it's a MYTH.
But don't expect to win every game with the win bonus.
I consider this as "better to have than not have".
It's not so easy to call it a myth or fact, maybe PLAUSIBLE.
