At the game Mantova against D. Aves for the champions league, he loses a player with red card at the beginning of the game…

Still have better ball possession, totally dominates the game and win 4-2… When in real life is that possible?
I honestly lose the excitement with the game everytime things like this happen… I keep hearing and taking your guys advisement everytime I post something here… But still.
:/

i know what u mean, getting hammered by teams while you are better or when u are supposed to be better since they only got 10 players. It sucks!!

Let’s hope the new improvement will be big enough to keep me interested, because i’m losing my interest!

Ok, that’s it, I’ll go back to the match engine, I promise :)

so my hopes for 29 aug to be a big match engine improvement has fallen apart :(

Unfortunately yes…but it’s a good thing if you think of it cause you get new stuff AND match engine improvments! Of course the latest may not be ready by Aug 29th…

A red card should have a huge impact on ball possession. And it should get worst as the time passes.

Maybe not as much on the number of goals scored, but definitely ball possession.

I agree, while working on the match engine one of my goals is to make players more aware of their surroundings, so one player less will make a difference.

I guess it works… Finaly my first Ruby Soccer title at the Italian Cup !!!!!
\O/

No it doesn’t :). I lost the cup AGAIN to Monaco this season. Check out the stats:
2 × 3

4-4-2 formation 4-4-2
54% possession 46%
39 shots 19
36 shots on target 18
90% accurrate passes 91%
50% effective tackles 29%
9 corners 1
2 offsides 2
8 fouls 9

Check out last seasons stats. Again a final for my team (Brest) vs Monaco.
1 × 3

4-4-2 formation 4-4-2
55% possession 45%
40 shots 19
36 shots on target 17
87% accurrate passes 85%
61% effective tackles 33%
6 corners 2
1 offsides 3
4 fouls 11

Now usually I’m not one to complain about bad stats. They happen to everyone so that kinda makes it fair. It just sucks if you get those strange results alot after each other. But to MAKE SURE Gabriel knows the game needs work, I found it necessary to paste these stats. While I’m at it. Check my last game in the league vs Monaco :)

4-4-2 formation 4-4-2
55% possession 45%
34 shots 13
30 shots on target 12
93% accurrate passes 89%
57% effective tackles 32%
7 corners 0
0 offsides 3
8 fouls 23

Tell me gabriel. Why can’t I win vs Monaco? :).

You should ask Monaco’s manager Sly! Try to find out what is the strategy to win against your team :D
By the way, I haven’t started the “surroundings awareness” stuff I mentioned above ;)

Common Gabriel, we both know this has nothing to do with strategy. You can admit this shouldn’t happen.

I admit it shouldn’t happen…at least not so often!

Subject: Bad result

We are disappointed with your result against Blackpool.

And there go’s my CL final. I personally think it really is time you start looking into it. New layout is cool and all, but I’m sure that people rather see the game engine “fixed” then having a l33t layout…..

I agree with you Sly, will get things started today.
