Season 92 - Are you ready?

[talisman]

Desert Rats FC played a Round of 32 match away against a +1 Level, +11%Q team, and, in contrast to the quiet capitulation in the Champions League match yesterday put in a bit of a fight, especially late on, to come back with a 1-1 draw. Substitute Jim Henderson scored the vital goal with a shot from outside the penalty box two minutes from the final whistle.

An easier time in their League match of the day, at home for the first time this season, and the visitors being one of the many Turkish teams in the League. With Quality equal, the match promised much and the massed supporters of the home side couldn't have been disappointed. Moritz Maiwald was given plenty of opportunity to practice his free-kicks but he was out of sorts in that respect today, but it didn't stop him scoring the opening goal from open play in the 29th minute. Patrick Tillmanns became the Rats first injury victim this season just before the break, and then 'Super-sub' Emanuele Imbimbo took over:



Final score 4-0 and Desert Rats are clear on Goal Difference at the top of the embryo table.

Thanks to madflo and Bunzo for their support today.

Good game from a scout recruit and youth recruit(Hammed and Series). Really nice to see them come out and wreck havoc.

LOL
My biggest opponents this season (LVL 15):
-127,6% (Last season winner), third season in the same leage, he was 164%, last season 146%
-126,5% (Last season two), second season in the same leage, he was 148% last season
- more than 160% but focusing on the cup and asso

I have started with 120%, last games with both teams I won, seccond place lost by goal difference and one point to the leader

This season 3 trophies, I hope:P

A WALK IN THE PARK (or not?): My second team is facing a low level team in the league. The quality difference is not that big. Only 53% AHEM. This should be a walk over. Right?

So the game starts. Quick yellow card for his best player, the only 5 star of the team since the rest is 3 stars. Animation for me, my 7 star strikers misses the goal. Another animation, I hit the pole. OK....... Next animation for him and of course he scores 1-0. Is it going to be this kind of game again? I get animation after animation but no score. I get a bunch of text. Free kick for my 7 star free kick specialist. Blocked and corner. Corner taken and another corner. Corner taken and intercepted. 45 minutes into the game and 1-0.......... Oh boy.

Second half start and I check the ratings. His defence is on an average of 5,5. His goalie however is at 5 savings on my 5 shots and scores 8,5. My average is somewhere around 7,5????? Nordeus what the heck. Finally at the 53rd minute I score 1-1. Maybe I am going to win this. Another shot missed. Another free kick wide. I can feel what is coming. 66th minute, I score 1-2. Finally after 20 shots and 7 at target I am in the lead. My advisary gets an animation. Nordeus, come on, you can't be that cruel. Right? Right? He passes my defense, he shoots and....... he hits the pole. Wow. That was close.

His ratings are dropping faster then a meteor in our atmosphere. Mine are rising like mad. And the score is 1-2..... Animation after animation but no score. 81th minute a new animation. I see my free kick specialist take a free kick from the side and YESSSSS 1-3. For crying out loud, about time. 88th minute my AMC breaks through and he scores 1-4. So finally a little walk in the park.

Now to get to the point. I had about 15-20 animations in this game. I had 27 shots with 11 on target. I had 80% possession, 5 free kicks and 11 corners (somehow he got 7 corners and not 1 animation for it). My rating was 2,1 points higher then the advisary. Yes, that is 2,1!!!! higher. And I only win the game in the last 10 minutes? Oh well I won but it was intense.

@ Killroy:
I really think, quality is just cosmetic. Today is the 5.day of the new season and I saw more curious results before:

-) two RL friend played 1.game at league against each other. difference were only 0,1%... it ended 6:1, both were watching.
-) My team played at cup against a 50% weaker team at first round, no oppo manager there, we won only 4:0.
-) My wifes account beat twice a 33% stronger team (2:1, 3:1). I played her team, because I want to try, to beat him... I don't want to know, how the opponent felt after that...

and so on.

[Killroy]

@ Nash: True that. Something feels different about the games. Propably they took out the huge scores to make it more realistic. I see a lot of high efficiencies on lower quality teams (50% and above). I used to have games where I won with 15-0 but these things are from last year. Nowadays a score as 6-1 is considered very high by me. Still if you own a team like I did in the last game, you would expect more. But he who lives from expectations, shall die from hunger

Exactly THIS!!

We played league game against 40% weaker team, seems to be inactive as well...



Yes, we turned it back very fast, but... I was there from the beginning... no animation, just the first thing (before I could press my bonus), was a blinking 0:1... I was shocked. It also was the 1. goal we conceeded this season.

And in a league, where it could be possible, to end up with a goalrace between the chinese guy and me... such a thing really sucks.

I also think... there's another another GK-change, because my keeper made the last 5 seasons a good job but this season...

7 games played
18 SoT at our goal, but only
6 saves

I don't know, how we played first 6 games with a clean sheet... but his performance is really bad (compared to previous seasons). I never had a GK, who stayed(/played) longer than 23y.o., but I really want to have a GK like Buffon, a GK like my ST Kraxner how plays his whole career at my team. But it seems... with GK, this is impossible.
I think, offensive player become better at there last this, but GK seems to become worse.

Can someone explain me the reason this game is worth playing anymore? With the last update I don t think anyone is happy with everything, even token buyers must buy more to achieve succes. This whole system is so messed up. Why nobody does a petition to NORDEUS to bring the OLD version back as play-old and to return the auction system and officials on the new one?
