Description of issue
Hi everyone, i dont know if it's bad luck or something really changed, but I noticed the ME after the update MUCH WORSE. These are the results before the update:
And these after:
I
I understand that it is something possible, a bad streak is the most normal thing in football. But some defeats really felt strange (Burnley, Bournemouth and Everton are last in the league). Although the strangest thing I noticed is that there is a very high effectiveness of the AI players, scoring my goals with practically every shot, while my players need many shots to score the goal.
I also understand that this is something that can happen, having bad luck and the opponent beating you without playing better. But that it is, practically, in every game played is really strange and frustrating. I give some examples of matches where the effectiveness of the AI was very high.
VS. Burnley: 6 shoots, 2 on target, 2 goals with a 0,54 xG. High effectiveness of the rival.
VS. Crystal Palace: My team's xG is 3.33 against the opponent's 1.27 and the game only ends 2-1. Again, high effectiveness of the rival and low effectiveness of my team.
Vs PSG: Well, its PSG, a lot of top players but still, 2 shots on goal and again 2 goals. Meanwhile, the rival GK is the MVP.
VS. Manchester United: Maybe the worst and more frustrating match. Not only the clear xG difference in my favor, but the opponent's first 4 shots were goals. From then on it didn't make much sense to continue.
VS. Real Sociedad: 4 shoots, 2 on target and the goal on his first shot. Higher xG on my part, but another defeat.
These are just some examples, most of the games are like this, even the ones I win or draw. And I know this may seem like a post crying about losing but it really isn't. You can win or lose, you can play well or play badly, but I think there is something that is not right here. It doesn't seem real to me that AI scores so many goals, even in matches between AI teams. It is rare to see the bottom two in the league meet and the game ends 5-4 or similar.
Finally and to close the post, I know that football is not about merits and statistics but I think this table shows a little what I think is bad about ME.
I am Arsenal, I have fewer goals in favor than expected (being the team with the most xG), I have more goals against than expected (I am almost at the level of the teams that are relegated) and I have fewer points than expected. I am literally worse in everything, something that does not happen to any AI team, that indicates that there is something strange.
This is my second season. In the first one (and in the games I played in the current one before the update) I won games without deserving it or lost others deserving to win, but it felt more real. At this moment I notice that the AI always scores a goal for you and that my team has it almost impossible.
With this I say goodbye, thanking you for your time in reading this. Greetings.
