With the narrow diamond not once in the entire game this did happen. Further proof is that as soon as i put the AMR/AML as two AMC after the goal (then reorganizing through the middle again) the favour bar returned in my side for the last 3 mins.

So even if as you say the substituted was meant to score and the one who got in score instead, that might be true just for the same roles. Game engine couldn't possibly apply that to a different role as if he generated that role (ie DL) scoring, once the DL is removed from the game for a ie ML the system won't "find" the scorer entered in.
Morgan, all you did was change the flow of the commentary and favor bar. The in-game changes always do this. I do not disagree with that. I am saying that in the case where games are pre-determined, your favor bar means jack squat except for entertainment. The game commentary is playing out the results it already determined and will take into account any changes you make during the game. This is such a simple concept: game engine checks both teams a few minutes before game time. game engine determines result based on the numbers and creates a commentary that fits the result. Manager logs in and watches game. Manager makes changes and commentary and favor bar are dynamically changed/adapted. This is most likely the reason for anything to take a few minutes after you make changes. Finally, results are posted.

What you have to understand is that under this process, you can make changes to the commentary and favor bar only. This makes it seem like the game is not pre-determined.

I am not saying that this is the case, but I am saying that this is very possible. From what I have read, there are many former managers that have seen results that made them lean towards the games being pre-determined. As you can see, I am trying to be very careful with my words as I am not sure about the past occurances and would like to know more. I talk about what I know, and ask questions about what I dont know.

Colin OUT!
