R-dizzle Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 This might sound like a stupid question but hear me out... I was playing last night for an hour or two, as you do, and I was doing pretty darn well... I'd beat Chelsea, Utd and Aston Villa all convincingly and all was well in the camp. I turn it back on this morning for a quick bash before the football and we suddenly started to play really badly, we drew 2 0-0 and won one 1-0, not the form I saw last night and against very much inferior opposition. Did turning the game off make me lose my form or am I just paranoid? It would explain why people quit when they lose I guess but I always assumed that was reloading the save as i've only ever done it twice back when the injuries were shocking and i lost loads after internationals.

Yonezzz Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Heh, I used to think the same thing about CM95/96 back in the day. If I was doing well I'd just keep going and going. Coming back to it a day or two later would almost certainly end up with an inexplicable drop in form. Honestly though? I'm sure it's just a psychological/superstition thing.

R-dizzle Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 I hope so, seems pretty daft if the game did that lol... Guess i'm just bitter about my loss of form so late in the season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

crouchaldinho Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 No, no, it's true. It's a piece of code somewhere in the software that nobody has been able to find. Some set of variables that get reset each time you quit the game or something of that sort. It doesn't always have an effect though so I don't think SI are too worried about fixing it. C. Snigger.

swisso Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Hehe i used to think this in the old CM 99-00 and 00-01. I'd go back to an old save game after 4-5 weeks and suddenly scrape to draws and struggle to score after going on a run of stonking wins Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cipriang80 Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I never get out of the game for the same reason. I just save it and leave it open. I fell that my team's reputation is beeing changed when loading. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-dizzle Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 Lots of paranoia on these forums it seems lol... I just loaded it again and now we're doing great again... something doesn't smell right, I hope its just me... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wesleysonck Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I am incapable of leaving in the middle of a good run, I have to keep playing. Luckily I'm pretty much useless at most clubs, so I get to go to bed after a defeat at a resonable hour most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe in random number generators. And am a firm believer in wearing a tinfoil hat. Saving and quitting when in a bad streak helps a lot. It assuages my need to believe the gods are conspiring against me, and gives me chance to chill out and reassess what is going wrong, usually resulting in better form.

earmack Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Theres enough anecdotal evidence to make me suspicious yes. Its much easier just to mock though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezequiel_Lavezzi Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 This is definately true, reloading and playing a match again definetaly breaks losing streaks! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
