Really strange games since end of last season-cursed?

First of all: This is not my first season! I'm season 20 so I know how this game works, so please no "You cant win them all" or things like that.
All the time since the end of last season game went pretty well for me. Some seasons better, some worse. I think I won almost every league despite 2 ore 3. About 10 CL titles too. I always adapted my formation and tactics for the enemy and i knew how to do it. All in all i would say that i won 8 games out of 10 minimum. Since the end of last season something changed dramatically. From the last 6 or seven league games i won none. This season startet even worse. I loose or play draw nearly every game. I think now I win 1 of 10. This cant be coincidence. Me team is way the best in every competition or at least one of the best and i play as I did always - so how can that be??? Something must have changed in game mechanics or somekind of bug or something.

Believe me, its not just a "you cant win them all" thing...

Anyone experienced something similar???

I experienced some difficulties the first week (day 1 > 4), espacially in the League and against weaker opposition. Then I decided to change my formation&tactics from 4-5-1V to 4-4-2 diamond and I started to win, win and keept on winning.

Maybe because I invested some real money and it payed off, I don´t know. But I´m doing well, and thats the important thing.

No your not the only one so far this season in the league I`v lost 4 in the 7 and 3 of those i`m strongest team in all department`s and even in game i`m getting all the possession yet shock horror their scoring in last 5 mins to win ? the other lose was against same rated player away and in the 89th minute they score and win ?

im feeling the same way, i start to change my oppinion about the game, i lose lose lose with a way better team in my leauge get more injuries than normal

me too

getting more injuries. and my Starting 11 is the best 3 scouters, 7 World class and 1 superstar striker. though i win all my matches, but not easy win i would say. Even playing against very weak opponents i only manage to score 3 goals

Lol what are you complaining about?

I even won against stronger teams in cup from time to time. What did they change? Is tactics and formation irrelevant now?

Its not just about loosing with a way better team. I already won against better teams because they didn't adept formation and tactics.
I would like to talk about serious changes in game mechanics or perhaps a bug here. It must be something like that. It just curious and not explainable.

Nordeus changed the game-engine and now tactics that used to work dont do anymore. It's really bad. The guys at Nordeus really likes to piss at their customers

Nordeus wants you to buy more tokens to win. Simple. You would think that after 20 seasons you would already know this. :rolleyes:

LOL... I've had a similar squad to what you described over the last 3-4 seasons and I was getting poor results and not scoring many goals, until I changed my formation about 6 times to find what suits my team best.

Yes, I said this time last season that counter formations don't seem to be as effective as they once were on this game.

Must be harder at the top. Level 4 here...I maybe lose 3 games a season, league and CL. Cup is facked. But in League and CL, I find that I can counter 9 out of 10 successfully. I am not one to choose a formation and stick with it the whole season like some, but if I had to it would be 4-5-1 V.

Yeah. certain games versus players 10++ points lower than me, and i'm only leading one goal. Pretty stress watching the game. Compare to previous season, i can score more than 10 goals. this season is just weird

You can't win them all.

the 4-5-1V doesnt work for me at all anymore, no matter who i face or what tactics they use. It's like Nordeus knew how great and dominating this tactic was and neutered it

This season again, very small teams rules. Nordeus is shooting a bullet on his own foot with this, because token buyers and active players will leave, so disgusted by lack of fair-play and logic. By helping small teams like that, they are helping abandonned teams too and inactive players, which is a useless behavior and a complete nonsense. I often have the same score against a guy with same AQ and a guy full of 1 star players. Seriously, someone puked on the code lines or...?

I tend to score a lot less with better players than last season and same modules.

Still, it's more realistic. Even facing really low teams squads like Barca & co don't win 10+-0, but usually they limit to 3-0 4-0 5-0, which is what i get from my matches,. Away is different as i score 2 or 3 avg. Pretty good for me, i like it.

I wonder if its down to the fact that when a team gains promotion and plays in a higher league, the QUALITY difference between teams dosen't have the same effect, because players quality is much lower. What I mean is:

In, say level 3 or 4, if your team is 8-15 quality better than others, that is quite significant gap, and therefore you can score goals more easily. However, an 8-15 point quality gap in say level 9, is not such a vast difference, so goals are less easy to get.

This is my only my personal theory.

may b game engine changed.

I used to win 4-4-2 classic with 4-1-2-1-2 (diamond) however, start from this season, it becomes very difficult to win, i'm barely score one goal against 40 quality teams where my quality is 52.....

Damn it, now i need to find another way to win 4-4-2 as there are 6 teams with quality 50 using this formation in my league.....

So far whenever i faced a 4-4-2 with my usual narrow diamond i crushed them badly, scoring not less than 4 goals to 0. Put reds on DL DR MC MC, that should do. If you play away and counter too, blue arrow on the ST who'se stronger in phisical and red one on your 1on1/best attacking stats ST as to let him receive balls on your counters.

@Raykco: No i dont think its because of the quality difference. I play level 20 and that shouldnt be a big difference to lvl 18 or 19. And believe me, im a well experienced player. So i think we can exclude this.

@OBree: I dont think its about tactics too. Or the tactics just changed completely and is really unlogic now. I would say im really experienced in tactics and i face the problem too. Even if i could do something a bit better that doesnt explain such a dramatic change. It changed from winning every game to nearly none...

I realized tat many of the games end draw. It seems like the engine tries to make the team with less goals score all the time, even if its unrealistic. Example: A few days ago I had a game and scored first time. Enemy was attacking through the middle (wingers only dl and dr). And i played defensive with with many players in the middle (dmc 3 mc). Enemy had a counter attack every 5 game minutes and suddenly stopped having after he scored?! First conclusion: You shouldnt face so many counter attacks if you play defensive and your formation is adapted to face the enemy attacking tactis. second: Why did it stop after the goal?
Perhaps this was just coincidence but with the general phenomenon (which is definetly not coincidence) its quite suspicious...

Hmmm, suspicious and Nordeus....ya think???

Yeah they've always been greedy for implementing things to make you buy tokens - we know it now. But its never been so dramatic.
