phd_angel Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Yes, football is wonderful, it's unpredictable, and it is revengeful, but I see more than a handful of results that are entirely random or anomalous (besides streaks of excellent or terrible performance). Are there any tips to avoid being FM'ed?... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daveincid Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) My advice: accepting that it's part of the game being FM'ed from time to time Cheers Daveincid Edited July 7, 2021 by Daveincid 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyol Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Well I just dont reload. and sometimes when the other team is down to 9 men its almost impossible to score any goals. haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
duesouth Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Every week in real life football there are strange results - if there weren't we'd all make a fortune out of the bookies! So, just accept it mirrors real life and move on to the next game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedyol Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) Yes I agree, and it also happen that we the players are lucky against a difficult opponent. We just dont remember those times as long =P Henrique Araújo earns 115.000 per month vs Jack Jacques who earns 10.750 p/m.. (euro cup 2 knockout stages) He scored 2 headers with a heading of 7 and jumping reach of 10 (180cm). Its rare that he scores headers- Edited July 8, 2021 by Speedyol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebmono Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 (edited) One of the things I feel like gets consistently overlooked in these convos around "getting FM'd" is how much our perception of relative frequency of outlier events is skewed by the far higher sample set we generate from playing than exists in real life. Crazy things happen in real life footie, as in the game, the difference is that we can experience 100s of matches worth of events in FM over the course of a real world month, whereas IRL over a similar period of time we only realistically see a dozen or so matches worth of events. This amplifies our sense that unrealistic stuff happens far too often in FM, but imagine squeezing all of the future real world matches and events out through 2025 into just the next month and how that would feel.

phd_angel Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 Acceptance?... That's a very Stoic stance towards the game. I shall read Marcus Aurelius "Meditations" in between games, and seek to gain some wisdom... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizbaII Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 Acceptance is a stoic stance? That's an insult to everyone who doesn't process results like you do. Maybe you can provide examples of "strange" results that would never happen in real life, instead of expecting people who have their own experiences with the game to figure out what "being FM'ed" means.
