It dosnt matter if you play the same game in exactly the same way 1,000 times - u will get 1,000 diffrent games...theres a massive degree of chance in any game for a start...then theres the variation on player performances... straight aaway 2 of the biggest areas in football.
sorry to crap over your dream..but no tests like this can ever possibly work.

Agreed. But I'd also like to add that there is no need for these sorts of tests anyway. Despite the fact many fans object to the idea - probably because they don't actually understand real football properly - FM is a very true simulation of real life. If you use common sense, and genuine footballing nous then there is no need for tests or anything else of the sort. For example, attack when the opposition look like they will give in to pressure, defend when you are looking weak at the back, and play a dominance/possession style when you are looking to win the battle in the middle of the park. Think about it; real football consists of these threee components in every single match - good managers manipulate these situations, poor managers are victims of it. And the same is true of FM. If you can manipulate the situation of each football game you play, and well, you will be successful. If you find the situation is in fact manipulating you, then you must clearly learn how to counter this. Basics of football that is.
(BTW, I may put a thread about this as it seems a difficult concept for a lot of people to grasp. It's an observation from football, not FM, but despite the fact SI don't get as much credit as they deserve for this, FM replicates it beautifully).
