Subject: Help from non A.01 members!

Could someone who understands something about this game look at my results of my game today (or even look at the game if the mood hits) and tell me how I get 13 shots, VG shooting, and a 0-0 shutout. Please....

lol. i took a draw in a game i should have easily won. The second place guy lost in a game he should have won without a doubt.

Personally, I think the new match engine was used in this match, but I'm not 100% sure. If you watch carefully though, you'll notice the headers that were implemented with the new engine.

the ratings are garbage...just like the marks for the game. They bear almost no relevance to actual match performance....only how good a player skill wise he actually is.

thats my first thought.

still, you'd think 64% play in half and 51% possession with 13 "very good" shots would result in something.

True, perhaps his goalie stood on his head?

That would be like a team getting outshot 35-23 but winning 2-0.

Its possible, although unlikely.

His goalie got a 36.... Argh.

did he make great saves though?

The ratings are garbage, they really are. They , at least imo, are mostly just an indication of how skilled the player is in his position. Next to nothing to do with how he actually played in the match.

My goalie gets scores in the 40s all the time, whether he makes 1 save or 10.

I'll go watch your match though.

OKay, here's my C.31 league theory.

Take into account my opinion of the rating system here.

Now, in addition, your team had 3 GOLDEN scoring opportunities that he saved.

Additionally, of your 13 shots, only 1 I saw was horrible. You had 6-7 near near misses on nice shots. Your consistency of shooting in general was quite amazing. I've never seen so many shots just barely miss that huge ass net.

you need better strikers

Don't think so. They are at least good enough to score one goal....

Ramûnas Bernatonis , age 21

outstanding form


excellent stamina,
very good pace,
average technique,
very good passing,
hopeless keeper
average defender
good playmaker
outstanding striker


Sebastian Zborowski , age 21
value: 235 500 $, wage: 2 325 $
divine form


weak stamina,
adequate pace,
average technique,
adequate passing,
tragic keeper
adequate defender
unsatisfactory playmaker
incredible striker

I think you probably focused too much on striker as a skill and not enough on their side skills. The first one is a nice all-around striker, but his technique isn't very good. The second one, aside from his striker, has a big bag of nothing.

My best striker (I train them) is only "very good"... but he's got a lot of goals this season. And it's worth noting that he was only "good" to start the season.

(to jonandabby)

what stood out to me is the technique on them.

My C league strikers have better technique then your guys.

Then again, my mentor was someone who knows the game reasonably well- your brother.

They might be good enough to put the ball away, but they are a long way from being good enough to get into the right place to do so. Both are badly in need of tech and Zborwski could do with a fair bit of pace (and stamina).

i agree, my guy is only form. but he has outsanding tech and he is pretty good at scoring goals, tech is underated for strikers

I'm not getting the tech thing with my results. Isn't tech the skill related to keeping hold of the ball, and striker the skill of shooting it? I recognize that they can't hold the ball as well as I'd like (I couldn't afford that), but they still should be able to shoot....

In any event, they got 12 shots between them. They certainly got in the right spot to shoot.

Tech is holding the ball as well as collecting it.

A player with low tech is also more likely to fumble the ball and spend more time not doing a lot with it.

Higher the tech is, the less of their pace they will lose when dribbling the ball aswell.
