Hello Everyone, does anyone else agree with me that there are some fixtures that the game is programmed to not let you win under any circumstances? This is the scenario, I am in the CL semi managing Barcelona against Madrid, I used my Ultra Defensive tactics (search for it on the forum) in the home leg to get a 0-0 and avoid the away goal for Madrid. In the second leg I have replayed the match like 30 times and used every form of tactic and team selection imaginable but the game just won't let me win, I know your not supposed to replay fixtures and I don't usually but the point remains.
My tactics are fine, the team are playing well and creating chances, but every single time Cassilas performs like a Super Hero and gets at least a 9.5 rating every time. It is impossible to get the ball past Cassilas in this fixture, the game just won't let me score. I have given up trying to score against Cassilas so I have just gone back to my Ultra Defensive Tactics to hold out for a 0-0 and penalties, it is the only thing that works against Madrid when your managing Barcelona. The problem is that by that stage Madrid have 4 strikers on the pitch and all my players are defenders so it is a big ask for them to win the shoot-out, and they have not been able to so far.
I even tried playing with all out overload attack right from the start with Messi Ibra Aguero and Henry all on the pitch at the same time but I still can't score against Cassilas lol. I know that Cassilas is a great goalkeeper, but they could make a movie out of how hard it is to get the ball past him in this game, some of the saves that he makes are bordering on the ridiculous. Has anyone else had similar experiences and do you have any suggestions for how I can somehow win this fixture?
