Play 'old-school' and succeed!

Okay, YouTube completely butchered my video and made it impossible to read the text. So i also uploaded it to my own webspace.

Full size video on RefPlanet (27 MB)

For those who don't go to the YouTube version, here is the description:

=============================================

THIS VIDEO IS BEST VIEWED IN FULL SCREEN!

This is a test of the game engine, to see if you get a different match outcome if you select a different view mode for the match.

I ran the test using VMWare Workstation 6, which saves the memory state of the game at any time i choose, so all of the "random seed" effects can't effect the game.

The results? See for yourself.

P.S.: I skipped all the VM Ware loading phases, because they take a couple minutes each, and the video would go over 10 minutes if i left them in. If you are still skeptical, go download the trial version of VM Ware Workstation and test this out for yourself.

P.P.S.: This is my test save game within VM Ware. I only use it for VM Ware tests. I don't support Chelsea, and i don't actually play this save seriously. Why would i play FM on a virtual machine when i could just play it under my normal operating system?

LOL...okay, i'll just keep repeating this until people start to get it.

I'll run the same test as the guy two above.

Icelandic League, i'm HK in the First Division. I'll play a match with 2D view (2D), then reload, and paly the same match with Commentary Only (CO). I will post stats that are so arbitrary, that you can't call it a coincidence. I am using VMWare.

v. Selfoss:

I saved the memory state just before submitting the team.

2D: Score 4-2, shots 21-10, pass% 60-56, tackle% 71-68. Jesper Henriksen missed a penalty in the 34th minute.

CO: Score 4-2, shots 21-10, pass% 60-56, tackle% 71-68. Jesper Henriksen missed a penalty in the 34th minute.

Just to test further, i restarted again, played the whole first half, then changed the GK at halftime. Results:

2D: Score 2-1, shots 15-8, pass% 57-56, tackle% 70-70. GKs completed 3 and 4 passes, respectively.

CO: Score 2-1, shots 15-8, pass% 57-56, tackle% 70-70. Only goal scored after HT was by Gudmunsson in the 77th. GKs completed 3 and 4 passes, respectively.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm......of course, the sample size of my standard deviation (or whatever) is small, so it could be total rubbish

Next game, v. Þrottur:

Before i submit the team, i saved the memory state, then i swapped my left and right mids.

2D: Score 1-0, shots 10-4, pass% 61-59, tackle% 74-77. Jaya scored the only goal from his swapped Right Mid position in the 48th.

CO: Score 1-0, shots 10-4, pass% 61-59, tackle% 74-77. Jaya scored the only goal from his swapped Right Mid position in the 48th.

Now i reloaded again, this time i did not switch my left and right mids before submitting the team.

2D: Score 3-0, shots 14-6, pass% 72-62, tackle% 77-67. Jaya scored in the 68th this time, and Ngwenya scored twice in the first half.

CO: Score 3-0, shots 14-6, pass% 72-62, tackle% 77-67. Jaya scored in the 68th this time, and Ngwenya scored twice in the first half.

Need me to test anything else? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

AH! But you forget that the Evil AI compensates and reverts to unaltered processing when it detects a test environment.
