I disagree with you CHL. Not that I want to - but I must.
In 1:0, 2:0 2:1 or alike games there is possibility that game can go either side but in 3:0 4:0 etc. game that isn't likely to happen vice-versa, e.g. could happen very, very rarely.
That is why I used term "heavily beaten".
On a more positive note or negative - however you want it, then if you're right choosing our tactic isn't so important as long as we persist in one tactic (frequently tactic changes may lead to underperforming players I reckon). And of course get the most uber players in game.
I mean that is if there is a possibility that in 30 played same matches with same lineups:
10 x tested same matches can go to one side
10 x tested same matches can go for other side
10 x tested same matches are draw overall (5-5)
What I'm trying to get here is some kind of pattern so I can try to build my new tactics from there and learn something new in the process.
But how to learn something if I cannot participate by affecting the outcome in the game?
That doesn't make sense.
I know that I can't win every game, especially versus uber teams even if I prepare my team perfectly in every little aspect, but if I do that versus lesser or equal teams I should win about 7/10 times.
That is what drives me to learn more so I can get more out of my team... learning on how Ai works will help me in that task.
