they change the speed of the players,old ppl remember how fast the best players run,
so they change the ME,is simple!

And what will this 'delay' lead to?
I don't know what they change, but it's unreal for strikers rated 3x18 in key skills to get multiple one-on-ones with the goalkeeper per match and not score. Not to mention when it comes to penalties... :)

I've been playing this game for five years, and the biggest problem is definitely the match engine. Let me summarize:
1- Defenders, no matter how skilled their side skills, often try to clear the ball while trying to get a throw-out
2- Wingers, no matter how skilled their wingers, occasionally go out for a throw-out while dribbling.
3- Wingers, with a clear line in front of them and a player in the opponent's penalty area, turn and pass to the defender.
4- Strikers, no matter how skilled their strikers are, take a shot from outside the penalty area when they're clear, but if they dribble, they'll be face to face with the goalkeeper. But when they're facing an opponent, they try to dribble.
5- Strikers, with a clear line and a dribble, they'll be face to face with the goalkeeper, but they turn and pass back.
The biggest problem with this game is the match engine. Don't tell me this doesn't happen, I've seen this not only in my own matches but also in top-level matches.

Wow, congratulation! You just did it, and beat the strong Argentina and get into the playoffs with Ireland!

You say nothing has been touched :))) – cosmetic changes are made, but what about the significant ones?
Seasons have been shortened, matches have been added – one led to a disaster in youth academies, the other to more injuries – what is being done about it? Probably nothing. For the players training for national teams to survive, they shouldn't be used in clubs; I could write a lot about the problems these changes caused, but I see no point.
Enjoy the game.


it has nothing to do with match engine... you were suggesting that ME has been changes because the results / games are not always logical. They never were, weird results happened 2 years ago, 4 years ago, 10 years ago. Same engine.

you can watch recorded parts of old games on YouTube... players had "same" speed as today.

what can make you feel that they are slower is the fact that you are watching games on bigger screen than 15 years ago. if you watch the game on mobile it will make players seem faster, if you watch them on 60'' screen they will seem slower.

only thing that affects the pace (acceleration) of players was addition of BMI... but that was December 2009, 16 years ago

do you trust developer that they did not touched something accidently ? its there words that they do not know how match engine works so thats why they do not touch it. That's do not exclude possibility of something was touched by accident. The whole code was upgrade to recent versions that means they do not have choice to touch it . So thats been said how you can say nothing was changed?
On top of that all other factors were affected . They tune the ME in the past based on params and existing players the fact that they did not tune it to the new env realities makes it not tunned up to date ...

you can't change the engine "accidentally". It's like saying that you painted the walls in whole home to new colour accidentally. changing the code means adding new code or re-writing old code, that's not something that you can do by accident or something that you can do and notice that you did it.

its there words that they do not know how match engine works so thats why they do not touch it.

the only person who knows how it works and how it is written is the author, greg. And he can't be bothered to change it anymore.

The whole code was upgrade to recent versions that means they do not have choice to touch it .

the match engine code itself was not re-written. they just stopped using flash as visualiser.

On top of that all other factors were affected . They tune the ME in the past based on params and existing players the fact that they did not tune it to the new env realities makes it not tunned up to date ...

nah, that doesn't really make sense. teams today are as strong as ever, with NTs / clubs playing for 80+. when they created the engine teams weren't as strong as they are today.

anyway... I played this game in 2010, in 2015, 2020 and 2025... it's the same game with same problems, bugs etc.

I guess you never did web development
2025-11-01 18:50:03
Ok, please explain to me:

a. how can you ACCIDENTALLY start coding and change the code BY ACCIDENT that it still works and doesn't crash even though you changed it significantly. how exactly do you imagine doing that by accident when nobody touched the code for years and when they tried to change even little things between 2006-2010 it always took them A LOT of time while doing it on purpose.

b. what exactly changed in the match engine in your opinion and when.
