x42bn6 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 On one of my games, in one season, Betis won 34, drew 2 and lost 2. That was pretty difficult to stomach as they really did just... Keep winning. They got dumped out of Cups early and stuff, true, but every time they were drawing, they'd win by a late goal. 'course, they did have a very, very good squad but I was the team that beat them twice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

arsenal_2111 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just in case it helps you get over the situation, I'll copy over some of my posts from last night. There's one game to go, me and Man Utd are both stuck on 85 points. They have much better goal difference.I NEED them to lose or draw to Southampton (who are 8th) and I need to win or draw to Hull (who are 11th). I'll write updates. Not too hopeful, Utd have been excellent recently. Match Time Event Score League Table HULL-ASNL 36 mins Bergissio goal 1-0 Hull Man Utd 86 Arsenal 85 UTD-SOTON 39 mins Ronaldo goal 1-0 Southampton Man utd 88 Arsenal 85 UTD-SOTON 45 mins Delph goal 1-1 draw Man Utd 86 Arsenal 85 HALF TIME HULL-ASNL 55 mins Bojan goal 1-1 draw Man Utd 86 Arsenal 86 HULL-ASNL 60 mins Adebayor goal 1-2 Arsenal Arsenal 88 Man Utd 86 HULL-ASNL 65 mins Xisco goal 2-2 draw Man Utd 86 Arsenal 86 HULL-ASNL 69 mins Hall goal 2-3 Asnl Arsenal 88 Man Utd 86 HULL-ASNL 78 mins Bojan goal 2-4 Asnl Arsenal 88 Man Utd 86 HULL-ASNL 90(+1) mins Bojan goal 2-5 Asnl Arsenal 88 Man Utd 86 Match not finished yet.

dking Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Why do you think its scripted?( It isnt ) becuase it is so far from realistic,it has never happened and i very much doubt it ever will.(or has it?) Just so happens man utd win every single game that they need to..like 25 in a row. Just seems like if you win...the comp will win,despite the performance. I looked at alot of there performances (man utd) and the results they got were ridiculously lucky. Thats why i talk about scripted.(im certain it isnt but it sure felt like it) Ive never seen that on any other fm or cm game.(am i allowed to say cm here?)

The Smudge Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I don't know about scripted though I think the ai perform better when they are in the same league as you. In a game I had with stranraer I tried to take them from scottish 3rd to premier. Unfortunitly since this happened I have no proof as I got a new pc and its been rebooted a few times. Anyway In my first season I managed to get promotion through the playoffs and my second I got up through scecond place to consecutive promotions which is good. The next season in the first divison i got relegated but won the 2nd division the next and then managed to maintain a first division status. None of this is really important just basically gives and idea of how the game went. I then started to look back on the divisions and in almost every case it seemed that every team did better when I was in the same division as them. For example the season I got playoff from 3rd division every other year after those points would have been enough to win 3rd division out right and automatic promotion. The next year I got second and got promotion that way but again the points I needed where much higher than the other seasons. The season I got relegated from the first those points where good enough to stay up in any other except when I got back to the first division and was competing in that league. The only exception I guess is when I won the second out right but I needed like record points to do this. At the time I was actually pretty shocked looking at the evidence. I wish I had it now to show you. I still had a lot of success in that game however. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ediocy Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Darn, I wish the game would be scripted sometimes. I was bored of winning the Premier League yet I did not want to move away from the club I support in real-life. So I decided to help the other clubs to the Premier League title in an attempt to prolong the life of that particular save game. Without my intervention (read: reloading of the matches they played), they kept doing silly things like losing at home to bottom clubs when you would bet on them winning comfortably. Not that such losses are unrealistic, but they are highly frustrating when I want my rivals to win. So finally after two seasons of reloading, I got what I wanted.

dking Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 I guess this happening is a good thing (its a bitter pill to swallow!)as winning the epl constantly, or where ever you play can get boring. I thought after walking the epl in my first season i would then go on and walk it again as is pretty much what usually happens. starting my 3rd season now and just signed messi! Hopefully not as many draws now. But to go unbetaen for a season is pretty amazing and to not win the tital with it is seriously hard to take! (ok ok,im over it now.)

Wayne\'o Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 it is unlucky but at least it keeps you intrested for next season, same happend to me but i was 3rd from bottom i finished the season 3 points adrived last game of season, if i had won i could of stayed up on goal fifferance, normally when in mid table the season is boring my exmas when there is nothing to play for except mid table.

PhroX Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Maybe this is pretty unrealistic, but think about it. Lets say the chances of it happened are 1 in a million. So, it'll almost certainly not happen IRL. However, FM09 has sold tens if not hundreds of thousands of copies. Many people will have played 20, 30, 50, 100 even seasons. So suddenly that 1 in a million chance isn't so unlikely. Indeed, you'd be more suprised if it hadn't happened to someone. Now, if we had people posting every day that this was happening to them, then maybe it'd be indicative of a flaw in the game. But they're not. So it's pretty clear that there is no underlying problem. The game's not cheating, you're just a victim of probability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukekarts Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 This is where the Portuguese League (or any similar league with 2-3 massive clubs + loads of filler) becomes really difficult. You'd think managing Porto would be easy, but I'm currently at the halfway point and am sitting second with 13 wins and 2 draws, 41 points. Sporting are leading with 14 wins and 1 draw, 43 points. Of course, the draw was vs. me, at Sporting. But if Sporting keep this form up, even if I beat them at home, they could still end up with W28 D1 L1 and 85 points. That means I will have to win all of my remaining games to win the league. Sometimes, the other big clubs just don't seem to have results go against them like I do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ihsaan Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 In my last season, I was managing Atletico. We finished third on 78ish points, Real Madrid were second on 98 points and Barca won the title with 100. It was great to know that my 5-1 victory against Real had cost them the title.
