What changes does the AI make at half time?

[drambuie2]

Hi all,

Enjoying fm09, tough at times but fun. Doing pretty well as Spurs but am finding (as i'm sure many others are) that even if I totally outplay the opposition in the first half , the second half the AI often comes out and totally dominates the second half.

Example being a game just played against Fulham - at home, 3-0 at half time to me, annhilating them. Second half I tweak settings to sit a little deeper/play down flanks as I was expecting the AI 'rush'. Team talk pleased. Sure enough, they rattle off about 15 chances, out tackle/pass everything my team can do, if it wasn't for Gomes putting in a 9.2 rated performance they'd have thrashed me. Game ends 6 CCC each, me 11 shots 5 on target, AI 24 shots 14 on target! Both teams 442 all the way through.

Just what does the Ai do/tweak/change that can utterly change a game around so much against the run of play? I know there are real life examples occasionally but this swing in momentum etc seems to happen all too often against poor/average opposition. Just wish I could understand the engine/teamtalks/morale etc so much that I could do similar things with my team.
