Vangelis21 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Guys, I don't know if this is a bug or anything and my aim is NOT to complain (yet). For now I would like to see if any more of you have noticed the same phenomenon. 70% of the times I go to tactics screen a goal is scored! No highlighted text as usual, and a goal is scored by either team. Have you noticed it? thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlo116 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 i pause the game when i go into the tactics screen so i don't miss anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangelis21 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 That's my point. It is NOT about missing anything! It is unreal for this to happen almost at every game! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojby Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 This has been noted many times before on these forums - it does seem to be a common occurance and I have experienced it on a regular basis as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Well, for one thing, I doubt it is 70% of times, or almost every game. You'll subconsciously ignore the examples that don't fit your theory. That's part of being human. I haven't noticed teams scoring quickly after I go to the tactics screen. Like charlo, I pause beforehand, so nobody ever scores when I'm in there. But let's examine the probability here regardless: let's say you go to the tactics screen four times a match. You take a total of a minute real time. If you're on "key highlights", that minute will be a large proportion of the "match". As most of the "match" consists of teams nearly scoring or indeed actually scoring, there's a relatively high chance you'll get a goal in this time. Also, I imagine you normally change tactics when you want to find a way of stopping the AI? If you're attempting to solve a problem, but taking your time about it, I imagine the chances of a goal being scored are increased thanks to that problem.

Nice way of putting it The last bit especially is my view on this phenomena. For me, the most common reason for going to the tactics screen is to fix something because I am worried about conceding a goal. Any time taken for me to make changes would be during a period of time when I think I am likely to concede, so I would always pause before doing it as I also watch on key highlights.

Vangelis21 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 1) I noted it down and it happened 8 times in the last 10 games. so yes, this is at around 70% 2) i don't always use highlights view so.... good you mentioned it. I said "either team scores", many times MY team scores like that. it is still annoying though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCIAG Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 8/10 is 80%, but you said 70% of the times you changed tactics, not in 70% of matches. I'd put it down to coincidence if it isn't related to what I said before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vangelis21 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 sorry i meant 8 out 11. it happened 8 out of 10 and i wanted to see if it goes more but it didn't at the last match. anyway, 70% for me is not coincidence but ok. I take it that it doesn't happen to all of you that posted here so it may rally be about me or something. i will keep noting down... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 most of the times just commentary On the fastest speed? I also watch matches like that, and if I don't pause then making tactical changes can take up relatively large chunks of time, which is not what I want when I'm making crucial changes. Perhaps it would be worth noting down how much match time has elapsed while you are in the tactics screen, it could explain the goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangelis21 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 yes on the fastest. this surely could explain 5 goals the whole season let's say but not more! anyway i hope it was a coincidence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojby Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think the only way around this, and it is obvious, is that you pause the game before making any tactical changes. This issue will then go away. I agree with dafuge last comment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedore Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Not wanting to doubt you, but its normal to forget the times you go to tactics and they dont score. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vangelis21 Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I think I said it before! I noted it down for the last 11 games! anyway I have new stats. In the last 5 games 21 goals were scored. The sub thing happened in 3 of the games with one goal per game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Have you tried pausing before going to your tactics? That should sort out your problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dafuge Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 It is a bit like saying 'there is always a goal when I look at the league table' when you are looking at the league table for a few minutes every game to see how the current result will change things. I was a bit superstitious about the scenario above so decided never to look at the league table with a one goal lead due to the number of 1-0 leads I had lost while seeing if my position had changed in the league table.

r0x0r Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 have you counted how long (in in-game minutes) you spend on the sub screen per match? 3/21 goals means around 1 in 7 goals. If you spend around 13 minutes (13*7=91) on the tactics screen every game, then it's a fairly standard distribution. That's even ignoring the fact that times you need to make a change tend to be times a goal's likely to go in, with injuries, unfit players or the other side having too many chances being the main reasons to go to that screen.

aderow Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I get what he is saying. It can be annoying when something big happens as you making tactical changes. It happens to us all and I am sure that the longer you play, the less it will happen to you. And if it does continue to happen to you constantly, then you either have incredibly good timing or incredibly bad luck.....or both. If I were you I would be constantly going to the tactics screen and hope that your team scores more than your opponents do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
