richjb78 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Anyone else just KNOW when the opposition are going to score. Right from the build up of the move,reading the commentary I just get a feeling they are going to score and I am usally right. Same when my team is attacking too.

richjb78 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 Occsionally it is after I have changed tactics...which I understand. It just happens at random time throughout games and its not as though the commentary is sayin..." he can't miss" or some of the other phrases which usually result in a goal. It's not a problem with the game just a feeling i get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neji Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I only ask because this used to happen to me all the time in the demo. I dont know if it's coincidence but now everytime I get that feeling, I try to change things tactically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatboyjohnmulhern Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 I know when a goal is going to happen. Often it is the 3rd key highlight for me around 25 min mark.. I definately know when a goal is coming if i get a feeling Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottycm Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 LOL Strange wordings but yeah defo know when the opposition are going to score, guess thats how the commentary is written, certain passages will be used for "very good" goal scoring opportunities.

kristoaster Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I know what you mean. Certain commentary phrases coincide with the opposition running past your players like Ronaldinho past cardboard cut-outs of Dale Winton and you just know this will mean 0 - 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rancer890 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Whenever I score in the 80th minute to go up by a goal, and the commentary says "Is that the winning goal?" I usually get scored upon in extra time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
this_game_is_unrealistic Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 YES! Absolutely. Especially in previous versions of FM/CM when I played games with text commentary only. There were certain pauses in the text where I knew they were going to score. It may sound crazy, but when you play millions of games and watch similar text over and over again, you can see the patterns and tell when there's a half-second pause. Also, in penalty shootouts, if the text pauses for longer than normal, it used to mean it was always a miss. This went for both the CPU and the human player.

tansrb Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 for some reason i do not have this for FM but i do have this gut feeling when watching real life soccer matches. the latest being a feeling berbatov would score against chelsea in the 3-0 trashing of the blues.

DE4life Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Yes, 90% of the time I know when a move is going in due to speed of commentary (it zips past if a team is going to score) and certain phrases. Sometimes my team misses these chances, but the CPU never does. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
N^G Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 usually when I am 2-0 up at half time it means that my side will automatically throw it all away in the last 10 mins of the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DE4life Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 You can almost always tell on FM09 from the start of the match if your strikers aren't going to score. From the get go they'll miss chance after chance and no matter what you do they'll act like they've never scored a goal in their careers, leaving either a midfielder/defender to score or allowing the opposition a 1-0 win Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScobieB Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 yeah agree with the last post here. When your striker miss about three or four sitters and seem to put the opposition under constant pressure you just know it aint gonna be your day. Also at the end when the scores are level and the opposition have you under constant pressure you just know they are going to score in the 80, 89 or 90th minute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimoz Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Anyone else just KNOW when the opposition are going to score. Right from the build up of the move,reading the commentary I just get a feeling they are going to score and I am usally right. Same when my team is attacking too. I know exactly what you mean, I dont know wether its that I dont have faith in my keeper or what but I sure get a bad feeling that the opposition is going to score, a lot of the time its when they are putting heaps of pressure on my goaly, wether it be heaps of shots or spending a large amount of time in front of goal, it all builds up.

NepentheZ Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I "know" that they will score. And I know changing tactics will only come into effect after the goal is scored. Too bad, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kreman Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 That is soooo true! Also, in penalty shootouts, if the text pauses for longer than normal, it used to mean it was always a miss. This went for both the CPU and the human player. It's the same with disallowed goals. You know they will be disallowed because there is the slightest of pauses between the ball going in and the commentary shouting "Goal!". Always good to know when its the cpu scoring. Always bad when it's me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hursty2 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Yeah I also get this feeling, I was just about to change tactics as I was winning 2-1 against Liverpooh (I'm United) because I sensed something bad was going to happen. Next thing I know 'Goal for Liverpooh' and the goal would have been prevented with the tactic change I was going to impliment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silten Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 I can tell the opposition is about to score when my players suddenly appear to have glue on their boots and blindfolds on. None of them run for a loose ball, three of them miss an easy interception and one of my CDs runs off to chat to his mum behind the goal. The ball is drifting slowly into the 6 yd box towards the opposition striker ... I know it's the match engine doing a ropey job of interpreting that sequence of play, but it looks so contrived. On the plus side, it sometimes works the other way and my winger can dribble round half the opposition before rifling in an absolute peach. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgreenio Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 pretty much as soon as i hit that tactics button i know that they will score before i can make it. And if i pause the match and do it, i still know they are going to score, basically you have to see into the future to help things. all part of the game tho isnt it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonBlade Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Without question. Usually it's late on in a game, you perhaps have a one goal advantage or are scraping a draw. With about a minute to go you get a corner. Brilliant, one bit of timewasting and 7 behind the ball and the result is ours. Except somehow your players manage to do so little with it that the opposition suddenly have the ball, on a break, perhaps two against two, then your star defender decides to ponder the meaning of LUE and slips up. Your other D comes across to cover leaving the second striker totally unmarked who slots it in the corner from about 20 yards. If I had a pound for every time that, or something similar, happened this post would be typed to you via my buxom Swedish secretary who was taking live dictation from me via satellite from my mansion in the Seychelles.

Goodkingalf Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I can tell too. Especially with penalties if you have it on commentry only. For years there's been a slight pause before the shot if they miss. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndebergerac Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 When I watch highlights and a corner or free kick suddenly occurs without showing any of the build up, it's a guaranteed goal. That aside I do get that "feeling", but usually a few match minutes ahead of time (and only when I feel the goal will be against me) and change my tactics a bit. I've no idea if my "feeling" is true though as I like to think my tactical master-stroke preventing the goal being scored. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
