cudithekid94 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I want to show you something that happened in my current FM save which i found hilarious and bizarre. As many of you know, Atlético de Madrid are very solid in this game. In my save they won the first 2 leagues undisputed..and they were on their trail to win it for the third consecutive time. This time was a bit more contested in the second half of the season. And then, this happened: Real Madrid giving away the league to Barcelona. This is the kind of things that only happens here. So, by the way, I invite you to tell some bizarre stories you have seen in this game which would never happen in real life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dagenham_Dave Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 I'm struggling to understand why the example you posted could never have happened in real life? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manicbruv Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 This really doesn't seem to be an unbelievable scenario. Plenty of teams have choked the league in the final games of the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cudithekid94 Posted September 5, 2020 Author Share Posted September 5, 2020 It's the scenario what surprises me. I don't see Liverpool giving away the league for Manchester United, or AS Saint Etienne to OL (or whatever biggest rivalry in a country or a region). Any Spanish fan will understand me. But this is getting to a nonsense point, and my intentions were you to tell what have you seen in the game that would never happen IRL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
anagain Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 How far behind were Real? Their last game was versus Atletico. Were they pushing to get second? I doubt they're going to throw away a game against their city neighbours. I don't think Liverpool would throw away a game against City of it meant United won the title. They'd want to win anyway.

Must be or developers could face legal troubles. So, those festivities where one team "do certain things" just to hurt arch rivals (which, in theory, might happen in real life) simply can not and will not happen here. There is no "devious" behaviour. Edited September 5, 2020 by Prokopije 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as they are playing Betis or Osasuna. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, cite the time in real life when it happened the opposite way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the opposite, Atlético fans really see RM as their eternal rival Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenc Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Imagine Feyenoord challenging for the title, two points behind the league leaders Ajax on match day 16. But then... a mere 8 matches later that gap had suddenly gone up to 22 points! HOw's that possible? Easy. A series of 12 wins from the first 16 matches was followed by winless run of 9, including seven straight losses on the bounce. Yes, you heard that right. Feyenoord still finished third, btw. as they didn't lose a single match for the remainder of the season, including a streak of six wins on the bounce. Only that, this actually happened for real in the 2014/2015 Eredivisie season. Never say never in football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madrid won both league matches even though they were lost in the middle of the table. Of course it was not the last game of the schedule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
