Other funny stuff you can do just to confirm how ****ing retarded this game is:
- Play friendlies against the same team used by a friend for yours several times under the same exact conditions to see how you can obtain COMPLETELY opposite results (from 7-0 to 1-3)
- Play against the "rules". Field 5 Defenders and 5 DM with defensive mentality and see how you can still win by 6 or 7 goals. Some of your defenders will score more than your STs
- Completely change tactics to the opposite during a game, and you won't see any change at all, EXCEPT, that if you play DEFENSIVE your players will be more careful hence creating more attacking opportunities. Play ATTACK and lose more balls, find yourself more on your DEFENSIVE side.
Would seem a reasonable logic if wasn't for the name of the team mentality that is completely reversed of what you obtain from using it
- Play HARD ATTACKING, field 3 ST and 3 AM and get your AM to say "we should play more offensively"
- Stop playing, but still watch how your team is performing, you will find amusing results (like winning the cup without doing anything against a stronger team in the final)
- Play Association, and see how home benefits are reversed. The away team despite the percentage gets higher ball possession. I played with all my friends active against nobody, with short passing and possession bonus, and still got the shortest straw. During the away game despite the opponents not present I got higher ball possession under the same circumstances.
Probably there's a lot more funny stuff.
Saying that is game totally random and governed by numbers mashed together is an understatement.
