This is not a slate the game or moan for the sake of it thread, i am simply finding the game frustrating and as a consequence, need to vent it somewher.

Its not like i'm really struggling for success, its just that i keep seeing the same old thing over and over again and at the end of the day it just makes the game annoying, rather than fun and/or playable?.

Its not that i cant win games, but i'm finding it almost impossible to finish teams off?. My strikers will score 1 in 12 shots(each) and miss the most ridiculous of chances, only for the opposition to score once again with their only shot on target?.

I find that i rarely score more than two goals in a game despite often having 15-20+ shots and 10-15+ of those on target and even if i do score three, more often than not the opposition still bag a couple of goals from nowhere and its all hands to the pumps to try to salvage the lead?.

I'm sick to death of watching the opposition winger with crossing of 11 deliver pinpoint accurate balls into my box and then the further humiliation of a short arse striker with awful heading and jumping stats, get above my two big DC's and score the most delightful headed goal?.

Long shots too, the opposition take shots from the most ridiculous angles and 30-40 yards out that 90% of the time, force my keeper into a save, or fly into the back of the net, whilst my own players with excellent finishing and long shot attributes only manage 1 in 10 on target, whilst their other efforts head off towards the corner flag?.

I've gone from one end of the tempo slider to the other, trying to solve the problem, the same with CF and every other slider, but to no avail?.

I've seen my team manage only half a dozen goals at times over a period of 10 matches, having close to 200 shots with about half on target, whilst we've allowed the opposition only a dozen chances over the course of the same ten games, yet they have managed only 1 or 2 goals less?.

I also found that in at least 1 in 3 games, we were conceding a goal in the first 2 or 3 minutes of the match and although i often get the equaliser and even go on to win quite a few of these games, its agonizingly frustrating nontheless. I've even tried starting a game on the defensive to counteract this phenomenon, but have found nothing that works so far?.

I basically NEVER win games that i have been outshot in and have only picked up the odd point from games that are end to end and very close. It seems that i not only have to outshoot my opponents 10 to 1, but i still require a large amount of luck along the way too?.

All in all, the game does'nt seem to have a great deal of balance and pretty much every game i watch its the same thing over and over again, which RL football certainly is'nt.

There's a million other points i could have raised, but for someone who stated this was NOT a moaning thread, i really have twisted on a bit.

Like i said, its not that i'm doing badly, but its getting harder to force myself to press the continue button as opposed to the save button, as each and every game feels like a carbon copy of the last?.
