This is not a rant, just me looking for answers.

I had 5 matches this season against teams that were similar to my quality, I won only 1 of them and lost the other 4. the only match where the other manager was present I won, 2 of the loses were against an abandoned team. so I know it happens and bla bla bla but it ****ing shouldn't, you want to make this game realistic? put some ****ing effort in it.

This I don't agree with entirely - if managed teams always won against teams who didn't have their games watched or even against abandoned teams it would actually get pretty boring. If a team is similar quality, they might beat you for a number of reasons. Frustrating, but part of a realistic game IMHO

As a side note, top ranting
