BiggusD Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Uploaded with ImageShack.us How is it possible to be touted as huge favourites away in the cup against a top division side when my team are semi-professionals in the Portuguese regional divisions? Yes I know Boavista are a former top division side with some history, but surely Feirense's reputation should be higher regardless of history? My team is not better, either, and form should count for little since the teams are from different leagues. The worst thing is that a loss here (which is almost certain) could result in a major drop in confidence and morale. So I need to say no pressure even though that will just make things worse, as my team will enter the field expecting a light training session. Yes this is a blatant "sort it out, SI" thread.

looknohands Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Having a quick look at my save game (currently in 2011) with FMRTE and Boavista's rep is significantly higher than Feirense (roughly 50% greater!) That, plus form, are likely producing the situation...but as you mentioned, the simple difference in talent and leagues should prevent such heavy odds in your favor. Perhaps this game needs two separate ratings for clubs: fame, which measures their historical popularity and success, and reputation, which can be based on their achievements over the past five or ten seasons...

Yes that could be a solution. That, or getting rid of the dependency on reputation for everything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolulu Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 Whatever, logically this (making a team two leagues lower the favourites) should never happen. Like OP says, it needs fixing! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
