Does the opposition ever miss ?
Why does everyone score hatricks all the time ?
Why is my team clinical depressed all the time ?
Why ask my opinion on something that I can not possibly know ?
Inspired by the prospect of a proper collective win bonus message !

Here are some things that are driving me nuts with this game.

1. Why is it that with out fail the opposition seem to score every shot they get on target.

It does not matter if I batter a team from start to finish, and have 15 shots to there 3. If those 3 shots are on target; I am dead in the water.
I will end up losing 3-2. It does not matter how good my keeper or defense is.

I know that in real life the best team does not always win, but sometimes the results are just plain stupid and totally unrealistic. 0-0 draws are virtually un heard off.

2. If the opposition striker manages to grab two goals he is almost certainly going to get a hatrick. It seems to be hard written into the code. Hatricks are just run of the mill occurrences in this game.

3. Another thing that is totally p*ssing me off, is the morale off my players. Most of the time they are totally suicidal. Even when I won the league, the where all delighted for about 2 days, and then it was back to cutting their wrists time. I seriously considering getting them all on Prozac.

4. Why do I get asked stupid questions by the media that there is no way I can answer ? For example there is a call for a penalty and the ref did not award it. At the end of the game, you get ask was it a penalty ?

Well I check the commentary and look at the replay, and try to get a clue from that, and normally there is something in there that suggestions the decision was right or wrong. So you say, yeah I was robbed !!! And then it turns out the ref was right and you get reprimanded my the FA. I just say no comment for absolutely everything now.

The local rag must hate interviewing me. I am know Jose Mourinho for sure. I am terrified to give the wrong comment.

5. Finally…..If I set the win bonus for the season to the maximum for the cup and league….its guaranteed that 3 or 4 of my squad will have PR next to the name for WHOLE season. If you check the message it says ' Inspired by the prospect of a proper collective win bonus'

IT NEVER EVER GOES AWAY, no matter what.

Well, for number one:

I got three 0-0's in a row as manager of Norwich.

Well you must be Giovanni Trapatoni or George Graham or scary combination of both.

Firstly, did you ever, eeeever listen to Mourinho? If so, how is that the Mourinho you envision??

Second, not seen any of the things you are pointing out.

Sure, it makes sense for SI to code in automatic hattricks for the opposition, that's going to keep us buying the game, no?

Completely 100% agree with the first two points. I can't take it anymore. I just had a match against Spurs where I had 24 shots (14 on target) to their 3 (2 on target) and what do you know, they score in the 90th minute and beat me. No matter sh*te the AI's players are they stick any chance they get away with no problem, whilst players such as Drogba , Aguero can't. Absolute b****cks

Mourinho always had a commnet for the press.

The point was that I always have to say ' no comment', thats where the part I am know Jose Mourinho for sure comes in.

retired_Roark

I'm a defensive manager, yes.

To say 0-0 draws are virtually non-existant is totally rubbish tbh.

retired_euluis

Erm so either you are being sarcastic or you mean "no mourinho"? guessing the latter

retired_tarachrese

yeah...i guess my spelling needs some work. I dropped out of school to play this game.

I have to say i agree with all your points Andy, bar the morale, but hey thats just maybe me lucky. I am not a moaner, and i love this game, and indeed the whole series, but when i'm having atleast double the number of shots than the opposition, with better strikers, hell a whole better team, but i can't score more than them, it really starts annoying me. The most frequently occuring is the 1 goal they always win by. Its more often than not debatable for offside/was it a pen? etc but everytime i complain i get warned or fined. But everytime the computer complains, everyone agrees with them! And the likes of Reading spending 25 million on a single player at the end of season 1 without fail along with a few other teams annoys me too, makes it totally unrealistic
