I basically explain my knowledge and experience of how it was.... the how it is, is a mystery that we need to solve xD and yes... is true that we notice about changes in the players behavior and there are no news, but you know well as a old forumer that since years ago we've been asking for a more open relation with Nordeus... more direct, more influence from real managers (more when we talk of old managers stuck in high levels...) ...so we only can stay pushing...
Regarding the oscilation point I just wanted to mention that the simulation chose different players intentionally for each match, thats how it creates a variability... from the 11, 7-8 appear in the old comments (then the live animation do it's own version) and some of these 7-8 have different impact and contribution,... next match, another group of 7-8is chosen, and so...
Right now, if the ratings variation is even more wide, means that something has happenned... Im just doing observations, not justifying.
