| if you SEARCH the forum, you will find those issues.
And you clearly have no idea what a bug means

Just letting my DM sweep up in my half.

Well in your case bug = not knowing how to play the game and then crying to the developer that they did something wrong?
WAAAAAAAAAAA

He's winning every game so he obviously knows how to play it. The possession is an obvious discrepency.

I hadn't considered that time wasting may be the cause and is this the most pointless feature to be added to an FM game? Especially if a team is time wasting when 2v0 down.

I'm not winning every game. And I am also creating bug topics because I don't know how to play.
Keep it real Quote:

yo stokes, Nomis07 was saying that I'm winning the games (the ones that I'm complaining about), that part was to me not you.
And second of all, is it normal for teams to time waste around the back when they are losing the game? Just imagine watching that happening in real life, and then you'll come to your senses.
I'm not going to stop playing FM because of that, its just something I wanted to point out.

If both team are level at 0-0 ultra defensive time wasting IS the casue. You can easily spot this each time they take the throw in, it will say they are in no hurry to taking it. (Ultra defensive + ultra time wasting setup, you can test it with your own tactic to check this out)
If you are 1 or 2 goal up you will see the AI team start to making forward pass and forward one. Now, you can see their possession start to drop as they have to build up attack and attempt more risky attacking pass.

| could is true, but we ARE NOT talking about "how we can win the game?", but simply we are noticing something absolutely unrealistic, and needing a improvement..

Any thread containing the phrase "it's not my tactics" and is not located in the bugs forum is going to get meet with some hostility. I could help you solve this problem, but you apparently don't want any help that doesn't come in the form of a patch.
