Ah, okay. Thanks!

Tubzinho, have you considered adjusting your team talks to reduce the pressure on the team, when you're in that position? (I'm not saying I've had success with that - team-talks still frustrate me! - but it seems like something worth trying)

Ignoring the specifics of the example I totally agree that sometimes you just know what's going to happen. Here are the typical signs:

1)Total dominant spell without scoring, AI scores first attack after

2) Disallowed goal then AI score (particularly towards the end of the match)

3)Red card for the opposition as per example by OP

Obviously this doesn't happen all the time but some matches you do just know you're screwed

Yeah, I've never earned a point after going a mad down, even after I change my tactics. That annoys me!

I get that a lot - in a big match I always get a disallowed goal, then later the opposition will score and I'm a dead duck.

Amaroq - Team talks are something I did look at and I have tried with different quotes but it seems you have to get the right one other wise its curtains.

As a result, I have started using the Assistant to give the team talks and then change where I think necessary, like when he says we have been disspointing I usually change it to a positive (encouragement or we can win).

I do share your point though that team talks take too much emphasis and the lack of real preparation for games is something I still don't think has been adressed as this is the key to winning games and the team talks, not the actual talk.

I'm with you there: team talks still feel like a "Guess the right answer" mechanic to me. I was lying in bed last night not quite falling asleep and thinking of a different mechanic; maybe I'll post it when I get some time.

tbh, its the actual start of the highlight that makes it too predictable for me. When you're watching extended or key, it starts off anywhere on the pitch, within 3 seconds, you know what team will have the chance, and what kind of chance it'll be, but tbf its not as bad as previous games, some improvement has been made.
