What's up with the last 3 minutes of every match?

Why are so many goals scored and conceded in the last 3 minutes of every match? Has anyone found an effective way of stopping your team from going down to the ridiculous all out attacking strategy the computer seems to employ when it's 1-0 down with three mins to go?

Yes... I never concede when they go 4-2-4. You should boss the Midfield when this happens and hold possession easily mate.

Maybe employ a short passing tactic and slow the tempo down to hold onto possession more?

 

[glen.mack]

I'm battling for promotion playoff places in D1 I'm playing a 4-4-2 diamond with an AMC and a DMC my AMC isn't very good and I play long over the top, my DM is decent, but not great, I don't really have good solid centre mids. I guess thats probably why I can't control the ball all the time.

most likely, but make sure your attacking mentality isnt too high and be a bit more defensive

idk but if you go in at half time up to a stronger team, the same happens, your team turns powerless in defence and there once silent attacking players come to life and create chances from nothing

Happens to me all the time its so frustrating.

I haven't found a way to combat it, I seem to concede more goals when I try hold the lead in a defensive formation

& Around Halftime, really effects a team's motavtion going in at the break, & can sometimes cost you the game

 

[LGFIRE]

It always happens to me but i only conced on the last 3 min, never scored pretty disturbing

Another thing, why is playing away so much harder than playing home?

 

[glen.mack]

Yeah, I think they kind over over-did the home advantage in the game, I often thrash teams at my home ground and then struggle to draw against exactly the same line-up at their ground.

Its happening to me right now, I beat Swindon 5-1 at home then played them again next game in the paint trophy and I lost 3-1
