Ridiculus draws

[Tactician]

52,7 vs 91,7 sure? under the field seems 3,x stars vs a 5,x aprox... so as I mentioned in another thread, theres a distance aprox of 2* in what a team can face another really... due a combination of scenario+multiple failing of the better team, can happen perfectly a double draw, we've seen same situations, in some cases. Hurts, but... one like it when is in his favour.

Maybe teams in real life should stop playing matches. Someone representing each team just have to draw a card each, and the one with the better card will win because according to Nordeus, it seems that the card - a piece of **** - has more effect than quality, skills, tactics, training, effort and so on. Results will be decided in seconds instead of 90 min. Managers, coaches, training and so on will no longer be required as such. The name of the game should be changed too as it will be no longer be about football.

I think you raise two issues Tactician, (i) one that the game became less reactive a while back and (ii) another that it don't matter much what you do in a game, you say that its too much of a lottery. Right?

On (i), I have no idea. But on (ii), the more I play the more I just have to disagree. I think it matters a great deal what you do in a game, how you format your team. Instructions, orders and what not.

I have two accounts. They are basically as good, a slight favor in advantage of one of them (Al FC). WIth Al FC I have played a formation designed by me for TE based on what I have learned from the game, on the other account I have played a formation that I would like to see in real life tweaked by me to fit into TE. That account is a bit more for fun, offensive style etc.

But the Al FC account playing a modified 5-4-1 system has been very successful. have screen shots from the two associations I have been in since I started playing (25 June 2016). Of the 5 tournaments and 20 games Al FC has played in associations he has gone 16-2-2:



The other account has just been decent, like 10-4-6 maybe.

And at least 50% Al FC has faced teams with more stars and more supporters/ball possession bonus. But it just has a formation that people aren't entirely familiar with, and that they don't adopt extremely well too.

I am a fairly new player, but I have spent a lot of time analyzing this game, the type of situations you need to cause to score goals, play defense etc. and with the Al FC account I have managed to get it to work really well, and with the twin account I run I have managed less well. And in this perspective, I would say that the game is very very reactive. Against good players, you cannot afford many mistakes at all. I would actually say that it is very reactive. Almost to reactive almost lol, because as soon as you try to cheat in one area, you get too eager to get an advantage, it comes back to haunt you. My take is that you have to be very very disciplined, and cannot afford many adventures before at least the last 10 minutes of a game.

This is the guy I faced in the last association game that just was a lot better than me that I beat twice (I have actually beaten him 4 times, since we faced that association before)




With the other account I have which I have not done as good job with, the results has been much more mediocre. If its a draw of cards, how can Al FC win 16 and only loose 2 of 20 games? I think it matters a great deal what you do before a game and in a game. And I don't fully get that part about a change in the game only causing a recalculation. To me that is semantics, the game is of course "calculated", does it matter if its calculated before or during the action? As long as its as you put it recalculated when a change is made? I have several several time with Al FC been loosing games and made in game changes that definitely caused the change I wanted and turned the tide.
