attached are screenshots of a perfect example.
for clarification, I went higher tempo and get stuck in at the 70th minute as i was 2-1 down.
they had 1 shot on goal after that because of the higher-risk playstyle.
If this was just this game, but it's not,
see stats 2, 3, 4, 5
these are 6 matches, stats 6 I won 5-1, and the stats show me overscore by 2, but overall a decent representation
i expect to lose to Feyenoord, but 4-0 with these stats is just awful.
A good representation of frustrating results, for sure. But what baffles me more than anything is the way that the goals are conceded. For me it is almost always ridiculous mistakes. Stuff like a CB stopping mid sprint to allow a striker to catch up, or a FB simply giving up chasing a ball for no reason.
People also often defend games where you face one shot and lose or draw. They claim that smash and grabs are part of football. But to anyone who has bothered to check, it is so rare that a team scores with their only shot that it's basically non existent.
I also lost two home games 0-5 on the bounce. Those 10 goals coming from 11 shots. No team has ever lost two home games 0-5 on the bounce in the EPL. In fact, only a handful of teams have conceded five goals at home more than once in a season and this is always relegated teams. This was the first few games post demo, and I sat first at the end of the demo.
I had a game last night where a team scores 1/5th of the goals they'd scored all season against me. I was at home, they were already relegated and their four goals came from five shots. My question is, how are the AI so clinical against me and only me? As I've said before, the only evidence offered that the game doesn't know who controls which team is because SI said so, whereas I can see various games a season where it would appear that the AI's stats, form and morale are ignored when playing against me.
I'd also suggest everyone checks out stats of the other games that take place, accross different leagues. You will not see teams consistently drop points to one shot, one goal type deals. There are other issues for sure, but not the constant misery we seem to face.
I have also been keeping count of the mistakes that AI teams make versus me and it is extremely rare. It does happen, as it should, from time to time. But not to the extent that every game I need to find a way of scoring three goals just to account for the inevitable **** up that will happen each game.
