Season 93 - Are you ready?

[nash123]

What a day...

we won against our chinese rival at league 1:2 -> league should be done, 6 points ahead.

At CL, we are at finals. But... todays 2.leg was incredible weird: After 26min, we were down 2:0, SoT were 2:3... -.- Meiringer made 2:1, so 2:4 on aggregate to us... but that stats were again weird... we had a lot more shots, but not on the target.
Stats are there - click me.


This game also proves, key attributes don't matter: It was the weakest opponent in this case: a lot of player with gray attributes +90%, keyattributes ~150%, while mine are more than 230%, some near 400%.

I'm happy, when this season is over... one of the worst seasons for a long time.
I know, it sounds creepy, because we play for the triple, but:
-) less goals scored since 10 seasons -> we scored a lot more goals in seasons, where we were kicked out early of the cup.
-) at the moment, most goals conceeded since 6 season, in worst case it raises to most goals conceeded ever
-) Teguia (my keeper)... had a lot a great clean sheet streaks last few seasons, this season his best was 3...
--) in other words: it's the worst season for Teguia, because the last time, we conceeded so many goals was before he joined the team
-) Costa underperforms a lot - he has his worst overall-rating ever, his 2. worst rating a league - the worst rating was at season 7, his 2. season (at his age of 19) - where we played in a league of (RL-)friends
-) Meiringer was last season a great scorer, this season he plays a lot of <6,5 ratings
-) My new MC is a piece of... 12 games, 2 yellow cards and an average rating of 6,2
-) and that's not because of the opponents themself... but otherwise at lot of bots: at my league, this season are only 2 other really active managers + 3 active manager (but the didn't watch a single game)

I know... a lot of qq, but there's no feedback in the game, what's wrong this season. There's no feedback, why my team had a lot of shots, but only a few SoT. There's no feedback, what's wrong with Costa/Teguia, and so on.

As a player that has played this game at different periods in those past two years (2015-2017), let me tell you the following.

This game looks more or less the same - same negatives - lack of football sense, poor simulations, lack of control and so on (except during a 'special' period where attending every match counted, where the changes made in the game including orders and activation of bonuses had instant noticeable effects). I am not saying that there is no chance that there have been adjustments or significant changes that has caused what you experienced or noticed; there could have been too. What I have noticed this season is that some teams (especially what looks like abandoned teams) have played at an unexpected level, but some things were there from before itself. It is clear that in some matches, the game does what it wants no matter what you do during those matches. Also, for many matches it seems that more or less many things have been pre-determined before those matches were shown to be played. In some matches, the effects due to changes did not 'reflect' those changes in terms of logic, while in some other matches the effect seems more logical. In other matches, there is no effect at all. Either there are malfunctions in this game or those are intended to be like that for whatever reasons. There are also those non-logical orders that gives good results but logical orders not (for example, check the post of talisman in this thread).

Things in this game seems to be going through cycles. What may have happened in your case and in the cases of others that have been complaining here and there is that the game decided that your team will have more chance to have certain bad things this season than compared to before. In other words, nothing as such may have changed in this game, but the situation for your team has changed. Another thing that could have happened is that there were hidden changes, but the those changes affected some people more because of the way they play in this game or what they used to see or have.

All that being said, in my opinion, there are many things that needs improvement in this game. Many things are cosmetic or have relatively insignificant effects or have unexpected effects. The amount of control the manager has in terms of style of play, preparation, tactics, influence on players and so on is too low; more control is required. There is also a lack of football sense in some areas of the game. But, there are probably worst online football manager simulation games.
