[Restarts leading to different results]

I did think that but the issue is sometimes I save the game just after the press conference.

So the only variables that can happen are those involving tactics (same) and team talk (same), and then, sure, the game starts and anything can happen. But still. A different result immediately?

And it's not just a once off. I can practically guarantee that if I re-start a game I will get a different result. It's happened about 20 times against weak, medium and strong teams. 

It's the worst thing about re-starting. It kills the myth that there's something I could have done differently. Well there is something I can do - re-start......

Happens to me. Very annoying. One day they're there, the next they're gone and you're scraping around looking for a replacement.

[Restarts leading to different results]

There's simply no way I can get through a season without re-starting games. I lose a game (I'm a bad loser), the frustration gets too much for me so I quit and replay matches. 

And I always regret it.

The main reason for my regret is that when I replay a match, with the exact same tactics, I get a different result. A loss becomes a win. Why?

If my tactics were the issue I should have lost again. 

People who say that re-starting the same game and losing every time is a sign of scripting. I say losing a game and re-starting it and getting a completely different result is a sign of something.

But what? 

What's the game trying to achieve?

Throwing in a defeat so that it can test your ability to manage a run of bad results?

Fine. But it's still not fair that I should lose a game on a whim. Life is not fair. But simulating unfairness is very difficult to swallow.

Is it just me?
