Yes, its been interesting all 'round - good debate/discussion :D . Its clear that Piginho & I have been in agreement on most, if not all of this throughout, but I can't resist a comment on this one - targets the big teams? oO) I can assure you that the lowly Blue Square Conf N/S minnows are...

No-one is suggesting anyone doesn't accept shock defeats. No-one is suggesting we should reload to avoid them. Shock defeats happen and should indeed be accepted. What we are saying is that, in addition to the normal shock defeats there is a type of match present in the game that is 'almost...

I'm not arrogant at all, you're right, I'm **** at the game and don't understand a thing about it or how it works or how to win. There - see? As for the rest of your post - all been covered already in this thread.

I agree completely. Theres still plenty of room to have loads of influence and therefore have a ton of enjoyment despite the odd 'rigged' game being required to keep things in perspective long term. No clue on the transfer thing to be honest - its not something I've ever looked at in detail...

:D thank you adibhoy, for that most insightful comment and well-reasoned contribution to the discussion.

Remember we're only talking about a very few matches here, ones that the game decides you are going to likely lose because otherwise you would be doing unrealistically well. Really doesn't happen that often, hardly ever for me atm tbh as is pretty hard to do 'unrealistically well' as Farnborough...

Goodness me - is this thread still running? Some folks clearly are not listening. 1/ The entire game is not scripted. 2/ There is a mechanism built into the game that, when given conditions are met (eg your team is doing 'unrealistically' well), kicks in to virtually guarantee you will lose...

Noooo, thank you. I wholeheartedly agree with this conclusion, as in my experience it is indeed almost certainly true.

:D would you like photocopies of my computing degree as well and maybe a couple of photos to prove how old & ugly I am? :P Its really no problem if you don't believe what I'm saying - its a free world after all and I have no agenda here. Plus, I know that eventually, given enough game time...

Look guys, fine have it your way - I and a few others in here are just trying to give you the benefit of personal experience on this, so yes this is subjective. Nowhere did you see me complain about a specific result or whine in any way shape or form. As I said, this is an aspect of the game...

Only if we're wrong, which we're not, but as I say - go ahead and prove if for yourself.

Well well. I've been searching the net for a decent FM11 forum and came upon this one, but I guess this may be my first and last post. I'm totally amazed at the lack of knowledge and ignorance being displayed in this thread prefaced by 'definitely this, positively that and I'm sure the other'...
