Well no , because certain factors can change the course of a game. For example an early goal , injury / sending off , and substitutions. </BLOCKQUOTE>

Surely, an early goal is created by the random seed which is the same in every game. Thus, both would give the same early goal in exactly the same minute.

Setting the seed for the pseudo random number generator in Mathlab C or whatever language you use to write your code would result in the same numbers being generated every time.

However, I do not know about random events and stuff (outside the match engine). That is why one needs to save right before the start of the game and use the same exact players and tactics.

Nope, wouldn't happen like that. Will be a different match every time.

Actually it would happen like that. If only there would be a way to restart with the same random seed.

I apologize for posting before checking. I looked and there is no easy way to reset the seed. I must have thinking about the Fifa Manager game which I believe has an option like that.

Back in CM 06~ the only way I could win was by running around the room pretending to be Eric Cantona blasting imaginary footballs into the back of an imaginary net. Nowadays, after 12 or so years of playing it from the age of 7, I don't have to resort to such cheating (except in european cup finals).

Commentary only has been suicidal for me since FM2007, just seem to get turned over to easy

There is a program that you can use so it will play out the exact same scenario each time. Somebody on here did a test with it a while back to see how much effect Team Talks have on an outcome, using that, you could play the game in 2d match engine, then replay the match doing the EXACT same things "old school" and see what the outcome will be...

I don't know if there is any difference between watching the 2d or just the commentary.

For me I only ever watch the commentary as that's what I grew up doing and I still think its a million times better than the 2d engine.

he had to read it first to decide it was pointless.
if he hadn't read it then his view would have meant nothing.

and the fact he responded has nothing to do with whether its a pointless thread or not

Berating - yea ; whatever.

Its like saying watching the TV with the sound turned off is going to change what happens in the program. It reduces your understanding of whats going on , but it doesn't change whats going on. </BLOCKQUOTE>

wahey for new analogys :thup: lets put the car one to bed now
