Tee-hee, this made me chuckle! Surely you would also have no match viewing option- both 2D and 3D would be unavailable because as Arsenal manager you are unable to see any of the main match highlights. Especially if they involve dubious play by your own team... Good old Arsene 'I ain't seen nuffink, alright?!??!' Wenger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being a Spurs fan I have to agree Arsenal are way over rated. Yeah they're a good side but not that good. Maybe it's done because of the deal with Arsenal to keep them sweet as you couldn't have Arsenal pay SI to have their own game and do bad on it.

Elrithral Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Are they really overrated? Other than Bendtner, is there anyone in their squad who doesn't deserve the PA they have?

The players aren't overrated. Their tactical approach is just particularly effective in the 09 match engine. Compare the players attributes and CA/PA to their rival teams; they're 4th best in reality and this is reflected in the game, to simplify things somewhat.

Okay fair enough but it doesn't answer why Arsenal are so good in FM09 compared to Man United, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan, Inter etc? Like I said and so many people have experienced Arsenal just dominate 90% of the games we start up and the same goes for in Europe and the only conclusion is they have been beefed up because of the exclusive deal with Arsenal. Thus with the announcement of Arsenal version of FM10 that means Arsenal may (no proof mind you) will dominate in FM10 as well. If they do then it's not fair that one team is made better than the others when reality says they aren't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they do then it's not fair that one team is made better than the others when reality says they aren't. Dear goodness Go on, find me some places in which Arsenal are over rated? It's mostly style of football and the fact that the players are young. Because the AI is so bad at replacing old players, Arsenal have years with Fabregas, whereas Lampard/Gerrard/Scholes are on the decline. The only conclusion is not that they are over-rated. That's the only conclusion if you're narrow minded. Arsenal are actually the worst of the four. This announcement does nothing towards whether the ME fixes these flaws.

silva_gunner Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Right. I found small Macs post, if not funny, at least a good attempt. And the reason Arsenal are so dominant on the game is that they have the right stats to dominate the match engine (good technique, generally fast) and we aren't as unlucky with injuries as we are IRL. If you were to change the stats so this wasn't the case then it would be unreaistic and why would SI deliberately put wrong stats in? If MU or another team buy similar players of a similar calibre then they will be as good in FM. they just don't. Its the match engines fault, so dont blame Arsenal.
