FM10 - Why Does Having a Man Sent Off Make No Difference

So many times ive been playing and had a man sent off or the opposition have had a player sent off and it doesn't really mean anything.

Latest example is that i was playing a team who were down to 10 men, i was 1-0 up. within next 15 minutes, bang 1-1. They then go down to 9 men - within 10 minutes bang 2-2.

And then when team x have player sent off and i sub a defender for an extra attacker i get spanked.

Very annoying. Anyone else feel this?

I tend to have a tactic for when I go down to 10 men that works so I tend to be OK, but I have beat most teams that go down to 10 men and found the game alot easier than I would of 11 vs 11.

I have the same trouble, if anything going down to ten men seems to help AI teams and they sometimes score.

To be honest, It happens a lot in real life, too. If determined squads are down to ten men, they sometimes seem to get a morale boost.

never works for me though.

Beating ten men: It's the one thing in the game I just cannot get right. In fact, when the other team go down to ten I switch to ultra-defensive and try to hold out for the draw.

On the other hand, winning with ten men is easy.

In my opinion, determination is overpowered.

I have a tactic for when I go down to 10 and a tactic for playing against 10.

Playing against 10 is easy. Just control, counter attack and pass into space. Usually gets me a goal or two.
