Today was the last straw.
I played my nearest challenger in my league in a game that could decide the title. Despite being clearly the best team in my league, this season has been far from a cakewalk. I have already lost games that I should have won. But the manner of this defeat has left me with a very bad taste.
Given the importance of the game, I prepared meticulously ahead and on paper I should have given my opponent a total roasting:
10% training bonus (okay, fine everyone that takes the game serious has this and my opponent probably did too)
5% home bonus (he did not have this)
8% manager attendance (he did not watch)
4% fans (he had no fans watching)
My team is 10% stronger than his
Both teams played a 4-5V-1 formation
I used the in-game bonuses four times (he did not as he wasn't present)
He beat me comfortably 0 v 3.
GnarlyEggman939, of Gengar FC, if you are reading this, I would quite like to know how you did it. Except I am so done with this game I will never know. My problem is not with the sheer volume of luck you must have had to overcome all these odds - you did what you had to do. My problem is with this f game. Good luck to you. You'd better damn well win this league now.
The cynic in me thinks that Nordeus has identified me as potentially someone that would spend heavily on this game. Someone who, in a fit of rage would pump money to rectify the injustice done against me. I have won triple crowns without spending a cent. I have by far the best squad in my league and the draws of both cups. Why let life be easy? Let's f him up a bit and maybe he'll throw money at us to fix things. These aren't difficult algorithms to write. Tell me I am wrong.
Nordeus, at best, you have a broken game.
At worst, you guys are a disgrace. Morally bankrupt to the core.
