Association matches are a poor gauge to see how our teams would perform in other competitions, trust me. I have had games where I was one man down and still won. This game used to be a fun pass time now it has become a ridiculous waste of time and no fun at all. The computers decide it all but they are not calibrated with realistic averages. Today more than rarely a weak team beats a very strong one. Sadly when a team is a favorite for example they can never lose, ever. So how is that even possible, realistically? They keep telling us that they strive to make the game realistic, really? How? There is nothing at all realistic when it comes to gameplay. Maybe visually it is more realistic, cosmetically speaking but not in real-game averages. Today I did an experiment, in the League I had a very usual unrealistic and unfair match against the first-position team, if you are wondering why they are in the first place know that their quality is 183%. This alone is an unrealistic travesty, however, I placed all my reserves in all the wrong positions, ST in GK, and so on, I lost 0-6 which is a better result than I got with my first team out there in the first leg.. My ST in GK position did very well, had some very good saves and the team did not play that badly. So what does this tell us? Players out of position, many with poor morale, and still managed to actually hold that team 0-2 in the first half. This tells us that this game is a scam and a farce and that they decide for us every game who wins and loses with very little input regarding the preparation of the team, formation, or strategy. They are FRAUDS that are gaslighting us into spending money. Spend a lot they let you win it all of course, they are not stupid, they must keep us hooked so that they give the impression that what we do matters in terms of team management. It means very little and this is the proof, With the team I had today in that condition I should have lost 0-12 or more. What they are doing should be illegal! But until they have us dummies that keep playing and spending then there is nothing we can do but to attempt to tank the team keep all good players in reserve, keep training but lose, keep all tokens and other boosters, and try again next season in an easier league with a stringer team. This is the only way we can even attempt to have a chance at winning anything. Until they get honest and fair that's our only recourse.
