Everything is fine, but the fact that teams receiving a red card constantly win... is a bit much...
Make some change that will intrigue your users, because many have really stopped playing, and many more are about to do so.

In my opinion, only Greg can change the game engine. There will be thousands of codes, which I assume not even he can remember all of them. It would take a lot of time and money. Unfortunately, we have to get used to this. Sometimes it helps us, sometimes it doesn't. This has been going on for a long time. The changes that I think are most likely to improve are the ones mentioned by many of us, but for the game engine, I think it's unlikely

I've played many management games, and I've never seen a game with so many missed penalties. I'm sure many people, including me, don't want to take penalties because a large percentage of them don't result in goals. For example, they haven't been able to fix something as simple as this for years.

The comments I have read so far are all comments I have read in other sokker topics, so there is nothing new.
I also experienced the events that occurred in the match between Brazil and Poland, and some criticised my choices because I did not select a weaker player who was in peak physical condition, but rather a stronger player who was two or three points lower in physical condition.
This is to reiterate that there is nothing new, because Sokker is a game from 2004. I was in secondary school and had an account on Hattrick, and then some friends told me they had found this game called Sokker and asked me to sign up with them.
Since then, I have seen the same matches, the same animations, the same tactics.
When the changes were announced, we were all excited to find out what would be new and whether the problems we had all encountered for years and discussed in various forums for years would be resolved.
Instead, we are still here discussing and even saying a few snide remarks about old things.
On the one hand, it's a positive thing because it means that, despite its problems, people still want to play the game years later, but there's no need to say “you're just lucky”, “I'm better than you” or similar phrases, because maybe with Austria U21 I could win with the game's basic 352 formation against the best team in the tournament, which has set up precise and perfect tactics, and win the U21 World Cup. MAYBE :D
Sokker is like that, it's always been like that.

It is more out of habit. Some found friends here and come because of them, others for the training... unfortunately, in my opinion, this is exactly what they are trying to kill with the changes.....

Borkos, I respect you and I think you're a great coach. It's always very difficult to beat you, and I'm humble enough to recognize that.
Winning two World Cups in a row is certainly a great achievement and deserves respect.

But blaming only the engine of the game and crediting your defeat solely to him is neither fair nor respectful to me. You are ignoring all my work throughout the week preparing Brasil and trying to find alternatives to win, as well as compensating for the absence of the best players I cannot count on.
I don't want any confetti; in fact, that's not important to me. I'm just saying that there is merit in how I played, how I strategically made Brasil play. There is nothing wrong with recognizing that.

In the last World Cup, you beat me in the semifinals on merit; you and Poland were better.
Now, in this World Cup, I beat you, and I thought I was better in this game; I had the best strategy.
The defeat doesn't make you a worse coach, nor does it make me the best, it's just another game.
Everyone who watched the game saw that, only you and some Poles think otherwise.

I may lose to France in the semifinals, but I will also have done my best for this game. I really want to lead Brasil to its first gold trophy, something that has never happened in Sokker.
Brasil deserves it, the Brazilian community deserves it, and I will do my best and strive as hard as possible to make it happen.
=)

I respect you as well, you have very nice tactics and as I have said - you did very well choosing the tactics for yesterday and very, very well with the pitch dimensions. Smart move it the way that you did :). And the tactics were well prepared. I'm not crediting the whole win to the engine, far from that, you "did your job" very well.

But my view is that the game - from play perspective - was defensively (for me) safer than the one when we last met at previous World Cup.
Then the Polish goals were a bit stupid, I remember one after a crazy bended through pass from defender to striker. The defender had 16 pm and 16 passing, but it was still a crazy pass that you almost never see.

in pressing phase you ATTs were fully covered / on offside so there was no way to activate them



in low pressing phase (when I attacked) your ATTs were covered 6vs2 because I intentionally moved my central defenders lower, wide defenders higher and into centre and move a DM very low. fully covered, no way to activate them outside of crazy pass, when the ball was kicked to them, they were covered by 2 or more defenders in near proximity...



I agree that your 6 DEF tactics was a good idea (Israel tried the same in group) for defense. I also tried 6 DEF tactics many times in last seasons and they are GREAT for defending, but it's almost impossible to have a good game in offence with that tactic because it's too easy to cover/stop with so little offensive players.

And while 6 DEF worked very well, after the red I had a whole wing open, so in theory... it shouldn't work anymore - yet it did, even though 4x 18 wingers had all the space they needed :)

As for the goals you scored, I just said how they happened, these are facts. There was no "empty space" for winger, or for through ball to striker. The strikers were fully covered, 2 out of 3 goals the defenders had the ball and they were tackled by strikers who have much lower defender skill than technique skill of defenders. Crazy goals created out of nothing by the engine, it happens in those games, that's all. As I've said, last World Cup I got those lucky goal against you, this time you got them.

Problems in the game system create difficulties in managing the team. First of all, of course, the youth academy. Normal players do not appear, there is no source of income, therefore, it prevents the team from developing better, enjoying it more. These tactics prevent you from seeing the desired effect. The same applies to the national team, both to the shortage of players and to its tactics. A striker with an indicator of 17-18 cannot score goals, and also loses the ball quickly or does not create situations where he can better evaluate it, the opponent very easily hits the ball, makes 2-3 real attacks and scores goals. The same problems were in defense. Unnecessary loss of the ball and inability to receive the ball. In short, there are many issues to work on.

I have no problems saying that someone was better, or equal, or outplayed me tactically...

I wrote openly with many coaches over the seasons, here and privately. World Cup with Germany - I could have easily lost against Hellas (great, original tactic with wingbacks) and Romania.
Last World Cup with Poland I could have lost against Italy, tactically I can say Italy was better in that game (great, original #10 tactic from Pavoniana), and lost only because had less luck. This World Cup I had a very hard game against Serbia, also great and equal game, Serbia could beat me on a more lucky day. Of those 3 World Cups, I could have won none instead of two.

But in this game I don't see an issue, for me this one wasn't close. Honestly I think that even the previous Poland - Brazil game from last WC was closer. This time the strikers from opponent were perfectly covered in width and depth, Brazil had no way to create with ball, they concentrated on defence, but Poland still made 13 shots (of course partly due to red, vs 6 def it was tough). Brazilian strikers made just 4 shots, after crazy tackles on top technique defenders.
