You should try to be mature enough not to be "provoced" (sic) by other people.
Listen, people don't like being given abuse for no reason. I didn't even disagree with what you were saying, and I got accused by you of talking BS (just because I had the audacity to ask if the figures you'd quoted were guesses or if you'd actually gone through and done the number crunching).
I've no time for people who act idiotic and can't make their points - however valid - without being abusive. :thdn:

The human controlled team's goalkeeper always gets higher ratings to make it look like he is playing better. Why would Si do that? Because the AI keepers are always performing better and this is used to disguise that fact. Si really need to fix this blatant attempt to deceive us.
Sounds to me like you're just reaching for things to complain about, because this point is stretching it.
If you yourself saw the performance and think it was only worthy of a 2, then why are you believing the 7 that the game gave out? Aren't you capable of avoiding deception by siding with your own judgments?

To answer a couple of points on the front page, the reason we don't answer posts like this is firstly because it's a duplicate of something mentioned often, and secondly because we have answered on others on the same subject.
As for the person who mentioned last weeks FA Cup stats, I haven't seen those, so can't comment on them. However, and somewhat ironically, the game that I watched live on TV last week was the Real Madrid v Real Zaragoza game, a game where Zaragoza had 20 odd shots, and didn't score, whereas Madrid had only a few shots, and scored 2.

Try going away and looking at some stats from real life football matches, compare the goals to shot ratios and then come back and tell me if there is a problem. The results will surprise you but of course this would involve you actually making some sort of effort on your part, which I doubt you actually want to do because you don't wish to be proved wrong.
What a ridiculous post.
Why as somebody who isnt even playing FM08 you feel you can be so condescending to somebody regarding a known and very annoying issue that you obviously are unaware of (or just do not even want to consider may exist) is beyond me.

Actually, GN was right - FM stats do broadly mirror IRL stats. There seems to be a misconception on this forum among many that there aren't that many shots in football matches, or that the percentage of shots on target to goals is higher IRL than it actually is.
Having looked at a number of IRL games and compared them to AI controlled matches in the game they are about right (with the right proportion of 'crazy' matches too, IMO).
The difficult comes when looking at human teams - now, I'm not the best FM manager in the world by any means, I'm normally rubbish. However, by assessing the match engine I've created a tactic which suits my Gillingham team very well. I'm not experiencing any of the problems reported in this post - sometimes I dominate matches and the other team wins, sometimes the other team dominates and I win, that's football.
The point is, I'm not alone in this so at least some of this widely reported issue *has* to be down to user error in not fully understanding the game, or using the wrong tactics and/or personnel. Well, that's my opinion anyway.

And as i have stated earlier this is one game in 40 odd league games. In FM it happens every single match !!!
