BoyFromBletchley Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 1) So many missed penalties? 2) finished 1-1 with last minute equaliser? 3) Failure to convert 3 CCC's? 4) nearly lost out even with so much possession? 5) fouled 22 times yet not even a yellow for the opposition?

daylight Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I actually have that beat, I played a cup game were I had more shots at goal and more CCCs, the opposition had only 2 shots for the entire game including extra time. ...... we got beat on penalties. It's called hard luck, just have to move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoyFromBletchley Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Big ouch! Wasn't moaning just makes me laugh how my teams goals to CCC conversion rate is .76 (13 league games 38 CCC to 29 goals) and the oppositions is a very impressive 1.8. (13 league games 5 CCC to 9 goals) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
daylight Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Only seen it once in my game through the entire season, so can't say it is happening to often in my save. It was pretty damn frustrating when it happened but I just put it down to 1 of those things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikaV84 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Happens far, far too often to be 'luck'. In all honesty, and in no way trying to be inflammatory, what would you attribute it to other than luck? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoWanderer Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The only thing wrong is the no yellow cards thing. Everything else is completely normal. If you show me 20 straight matches where you completely dominate and lose, then we might have a problem. Just once every three or four matches where the team playing better doesn't win is the norm.

Cougar2010 Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Happens far, far too often to be 'luck'. Approx 25% of the time is normal. Significantly higher than that constantly is a mixture of bad luck and poor tactical choices. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoyFromBletchley Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 I suppose in an ideal FM world games like these and many others would not need a penalty shoot out but I remember as far back as 1993/4 when once you had a winning tactic that was it so no real challenge. This incarnation really makes you think and I'm sure I'm not alone in having " I hate this game " days as well as " I am the best manager ever" days.

Guest El Payaso Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 The amount of chances for Arsenal. It takes really bad defending to allow 23 shots from inside the penalty area(?) and even blocking zero of those attempts. 3 CCCs isn't that bad as Arsenal are quite a bit bigger team but 8 HCs... Team with such quality Arsenal should have would score maybe like 6-8 goals with that kind of chances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

isignedupfornorealreason Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I've had it better; 8 CCC's! We won 2-0, neither goal was a CCC, I should have saved the match so I could check the half chances and woodwork. Positive the woodwork was +3 too.

sporadicsmiles Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The worst thing is that you had less than half your shots on target, one third of your total shots were long shots, and you did nothing in the game to change this so you could turn dominance into goals. Additionally, when you had a 1 goal lead you did not shut down and prevent the opposition - who were clearly going to play more aggressively in the latter stages when losing - from getting a late goal. Those are tactical failings on your part, not the game imo. The penalty thing is also completely normal, and a huge improvement on the 18-17 monsters we had in FM14. The not getting a booking with 22 fouls is odd, I will admit that one. Might even be worth posting that one as a bug report, if you really think it is unusual. Ironically as I write this I have a ref who is booking everyone for every little niggly foul. My opponents just had a player sent off, and I have 5 men on yellows. Will be a miracle if there are no more reds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've recently created a post praising SI http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/408714-I-tried-to-prove-the-AI-cheats-but-I-don-t-think-it-does-now I have seen quite a few games in my 47 years similar to this. As an Arsenal season ticket holder it is sometimes a thankless task when they dominate and get little out of it. As far as bookings go think it was a one of to be fair as my other post proves ish. I do tend to stick to the same tactics and have been successful. The only thing I tend to change is the opposition instructions when needed and dependant on the opposition. I did change things in the game itself such as passing, tempo and even strikers but to no avail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
