All right, anyone noticed this? In 95% of cases my stoppage time is never accurate. Is says +3mins, game goes for 4, it says 2mins, it goes 2:45.

Matches are mostly longer by at least 30s than what the stoppage time says. I don't know if it's deliberate or a bug, but please, fix that ASAP. Watch real life games. It's never like that, usually it's like 10s after stoppage time and game is over, heck, in most cases the game is done even before the stoppage time.

Fouls in stoppage time? Mean more stoppage time?

I agree added on time can be annoying.

I don't think most games finish before the stoppage time however. Usually on the dot.

Are you being serious!!!??

I only notice this when there has been a stoppage in stoppage time.
Next time you have a match, change the highlights to full match(or even extended should be enough) when the clock reaches stoppage time and this might help you see why a little extra is sometimes added.

Not a bug and to be honest a lot of real life matches go over due to this reason(often due to obvious time wasting or a late sub). I don't think you're watching enough games, or you have lost a late goal or 2 and want to blame the game.

Stoppage time should not be consistently exceeded like it is right now, where 90% of matches go 1-3 minutes over the added time. That's why teams do most of their worst time wasting DURING stoppage time rather than before it, because the 4th official would just add more.

The only exception is if there's an abnormally long stoppage during stoppage time, such as an injury or a scuffle.

Stoppage time is only an indication of the minimum time to be added on. More time can be played if necessary.

Holy crap somebody call NASA to figure this one out.

Since the beginning of time the whistle has not gone at the exact second the game is supposed to end.

1-3 minutes 90% of the time, you're joking right? Extra time is added if there is an injury, substitue, time wasting DURING stoppage time,the number held up by the 4th official is the MINIMUM to be added not an exact figure.

e.g. if there are 4 minutes to be added and the game is stopped for 1 minute due to an injury during stoppage time,then that 1 minute is added on making a total of 5.

I've noticed often a few more seconds are added and on the odd occassion up to 1 1/2 minutes. Very true to life in my opinion.

I have noticed myself that matches always over run. But the main problem with this for me is when the play is stopped - IRL if the ball goes out for a goal kick the whistle will follow within 10s of the kick being taken, in FM it usually comes just as you/the opposition are about the start an attack.
