what is wrong with the match engine? its as if the result is decided b4 the match is even played.

i had played a player in the wrong position so i decided to reload the game. that was 1-0 against me, a goal scored in the 3rd minute.

i realized that even after reloading. the opponents scores in the 2nd minute again. and subsequently no matter wad i do, whatever players i play, they always score within the 1st 5 minutes.

abosolutely crap

You only did it twice hardly proof the games are pre-determined

Come back after you've done some proper testing, say replaying it 1000 times :p

Maybe their tactics are just set up to come out at a really high tempo, maybe you have players with low concentration that take a while to get going... Or something.

I have tested this myself, ten restarts. Playing opposition I should beat, one defeat, 3 draws, 6 wins, all different scorelines.
With bug reports posted like this how are SI supposed help us? If people post a bug because their team loses!. SI must despair at times

okay it happened 5 times in a row.

now im on the 6th game after practically changing the whole defence, formation and insrtuctions..

but u see. even if nothing were changed, shouldnt the whole match be random, scoring a goal within 1st 5 minutes 5 times in a row, wad are the odds?! i dun believe u can set a tactic to do that !

if the opponent were to win the match thats a different story u cld say tactics etc played a part. but no, its conceding a goal right from kickoff, unbelievable.

its like saying paul robinson would score against ben foster with that scorcher from his goal even if he were to replay the match.

I'd love to see screenshots of every time (6 times so far you say) you played this game please. Until you provide that evidence, I believe you're making it up.

this might be a crazy idea but maybe, just maybe, your a crap manager

Have you made a media comment before the games been saved ? Media comments seem to play a very large part in situations like that, if you have then you've picked the wrong one.

Accusing someone of lies is a bit harsh, DFO, mightn't it be possible with the quite literally hundreds of people complaining about the match engine there may be something wrong with it?

I've had similar results with the match engine, I don't necessarily believe that the results are predetermined, because some of the games I've seen are just stupid. Between "super-keepers", opposition scoring stupid goals and disallowed goals, I'm gonna greet the patch like the second coming.

But honestly, don't accuse people of lying - just look at some other posts round here and see that this is not a random occurence.

Please show proof if you think result is pre-determined, because I did reload my game several times and none gave same result.

If you tried several tactic yet none worked, please try harder instead of blaming someone else.
