10 things the opposition will always do better than you.

OK, you have assembled your truly unbeatable team who should wipe the floor against all opposition, but still, the inferior opposition will always do these 10 things better than your stars

1: Score more often with the 1st SOT

2: Score from a corner/free kick.

3: Hang on to a 1 goal lead

4: Come back from 2 or 3 goals down

5: Close your players down instead of just standing and watching them pass it about

6: Hit the back of the net instead of the woodwork

7: Score in stoppage time, particularly after 90 mins.

8: Score an instant reply after conceding a goal

9: Get less disallowed goals

10: Score a thunderbolt from outside the area with lower attributes than your grandmother

OFC possibly tongue in cheek, but I do believe that the ME IS slightly weighted towards the opposition, due to the fact that we are more intelligent, can do better tactics, buy better players etc etc. So somewhere down the line the coding NEEDS to give at least some edge to the opposition, however small that edge may be, in order to try and make up for all the areas where it lacks our better intelligence. Otherwise we would win every match we played and where is the fun in that ??

11. Rubbish goalkeeper who conceded 4 goals in his last game is MOM against you. It is his only MOM performance of the season...

12. Tackle your players so hard they drop on the ground but no referee signal. Yet you get cards for even lesser foul

I thought this only happened to me?

^this

10101

13. Sub their goalie with an outfield player, every time I try to do this I always manage like with like:D

14. Doesn't justify it's ineptitude by convincing itself of conspiracy theories.

15. Has a player who is on a goal drought and hasn't scored in XXX minutes scores against you with his one SOT whereas your in form striker hits both posts and forces the keeper into some fantastic saves.

16: Especially when your goalie hasn't conceded in x minutes

17. Score on their debut!

18. They pass like beckham.

19: Outjump your star defender and score a goal even though their jumping is only a 5 (seen it happen) and it is the only header they win/lose all game.

i have to co sign this one.

LMFAO

Well I would rather have this than win every game. Remember 2005? You won the champions league and then you became unbeatable? It made the game boring.

20. Their only "greyed out" player on their team scores

21. Unlike you, the opposition will beat every team below them, only losing to you in the course of the season.

22. Anyone carrying an Injury and practically unable to walk. Will find a new lease of life and beat your entire midfield and back four for pace 88 mins in.

23. Having released an utterly crap player who couldn't even be a sub in your 4th team he pops up to bag a hat trick against you!

Well put . The best i've seen was a player who was injured in the 11th minute play the rest of the game and had a blinder every time he touched the ball. Some insane runs that looked like he had the ball in his hands as opposed to his feet and ran through 3 players to score a screamer. Basically the game of his life.

I was bemused to see he had a red cross and his stam was in the red straight after the injury. Then further investigation after the game post press conference, I discover that this superhero had a BROKEN LEG!!! and would be out for up to three months. Now thats impressive. Not sure if any of the SI lads have ever broken thier leg before. But i'm here to tell you even the most subtle hair line fractures cause immense pain. And the likelyhood of someone being able to overcome this with pure enthusiasm is somewhat unlikely.

Look apart from the obvious bug its a fantastic game. All the above comments pertain to what is commonly known in the indusrty as catch up logic. As the OP said if it wasnt in the game we would dominate all the time. And yes that would be very boring after a while.

This.

And this.

It is both ironic and hylarious but every single point is DAMNED TRUE !!!!

This

And especially this

I know I fail, I fail epicly (esp. definition no. 1).

17 - Has players score their first goals of the season against you. Especially in the 2nd half of the season.

18 - having more shots than opponents in 10 consecutive games, and still lose the game

^^What!? How did it go from 23 to 17?:confused:

24 - After 23, you count back to 17, 18 and then 24 and 25.

25 - 25 is still inside count of 10.

26. The opposition will ALWAYS have anywhere from 5 to 30 chances in the last 15 minutes of the game when they are trailing. However, when you are the one behind, those last fifteen minutes will go by with not a single chance.
