Does the game get tougher as i play more games in one start?

[som3a]

I mean, i think that as i play more games, the game gets tougher and tougher and then it gets back to the normal difficulty when i exit to windows and restart the game.
I noticed that while playing with Barca today in season mode (pro level). I won my first game against Roma 5-0. Then 3-0 at Betis. Then the game got tougher and i was only able to beat Newcastle 2-1 away. Then it got really tough as i fought to beat last place Osasuna 2-1 at home. Does the game really get tougher or is it my imagination?

Funny that you mentioned that, but i thought it was my imagination too when i played a league match against a team of donkeys who almost beat me by the odd goal, it could be caused by EA's newer version of the old 'catch up logic' that was in some of thier earlier Fifa games. ==

Well, after u said that, i think we are not imagining. The game really gets tougher with every game u play. I don`t really like that as it makes no sense at all to beat Roma 5-0 then almost lose to Osasuna. The difficulty should be based on the level of the players in the opposition team not on the number of games i played today.

I guess you don't watch real soccer than... In real life a team like Madrid, Milan, Barca.... won't perform the same every week (it does not matter which team, they all won't perform the same), this week they might win 1-0 against a **** team then next week they might get a 8-0 win.

Well, it happened to me in the SPL, <Pro mode> i had Celtic as the player team who have players all with 8 to10 attributes, the team that i had problems beating was one of the lower rated SPL teams with average attributes of 4-5, the lower team played almost flawless football as i really struggled to come to grips with them and i still can't figure out wether or not the Cpu was changing the Igm at random or not, because ever time that i seemed to gain a small advantage the Cpu team seemed to improve in strength and then continue to keep my team on the backfoot, which logicaly shouldn't happen, but in this game it does ==

First of all, i watch real soccer all day long. Secondly, i know that the performance of any team changes from week to week, but i`m not talking about my own team`s performance here, i`m talking about the AI team`s performance. As i said before, the last time i was playing the game`s difficulty continued to increase one match after the other not depending on the team i`m playing against. The same tactics and style i used to beat Roma 5-0 gave me just a 2-1 win over Osasuna. I`m saying that the game gets tougher because i felt it. In the Osasuna game, the AI was pressing me in all parts of the field and even forced me to play the last 20 mins (game time) in my own half. The AI players were more aggressive and they used alot of sliding tackles. What u are talking about may be true for a game like CM. But in Fifa, once you get a grip of the winning tactic , you win most if not all of your games. I`m the one who`s controlling the players in each and every game. My players can`t have good days and bad days.

Exactly. ==

The only time that you should have problems is if you have a few key players out thro' suspension or injury and you have a few of the weaker players to make up the numbers in the team. ==

How old r u again? I can't believe you said that. So the only time you will have problems is when your key player(s) are out???? no no no no man you crazy? In arcade style YES but not in a simulation style. Since this game is a simulation than I m affraid the answer is no. For example. Are you saying that Ronaldo is a robot? Did you watch the way he played last week I think against R.Sociedad, even he said that he played the worst match in his life, no matter who the player is, Zidane, Rivaldo, Zenden, Davids, Carlos............. they won't perform the same in every game, they won't. So your saying your team should perform the same game every week?? no way man thats not true in real life.

I can't believe what I am seeying here. A last place team has a great chance of beating the first place team. I seen first div team in England beating the PL teams. I really don't know where you people are getting at? Once in a while a **** team will perform better than a great team and thats a fact. Besides if you won in everygame than you would say this game is too easy blah blah blah blah............

so this thread was useless

aaahhhaaa whats the difference? Both sides contains players and teams.

this is true in normal life too right? Am I right? If you beat Roma 5-0 that does not mean you will beat Osasuna 12-0. If you did in than the game would get boring and you will bitch around saying 'this game is too easy'

I`m saying that the game gets tougher because i felt it. In the Osasuna game, the AI was pressing me in all parts of the field and even forced me to play the last 20 mins (game time) in my own half.

Well see I think you need to get better playing at this game. I am playing this game in WC level and I don't face such problems, but I do feel the smaller teams are also tougher to beat.

If you are winning by alot the cpu doesn't fight back as much, but if you are winning by 2-1 the cpu fight back at it's hardest, also teams play differently, some are more agressive than others.

' How old r u again? " -- Please don't insult yourself by asking such a pointless and immature question.=

==============
Sorry mate, but i do think that it is you who doesn't understand what we are getting at here, this is a Cyber Football game that we are talking about, and not the real thing where Human variables and such have such a huge impact on the real game, as in bad pitches, hostile crowds, lousy refering, players who want to get the match over and then head off to the nearest bar,players who are not fully fit, players who don't want to perform on the pitch, this does happen in the real game.

so you are trying to point out to this forum that all or some of
these reasons are actually factored into this EA Football game, man they can't even code in correct defensive AI and heading AI, also the lobs and chips more often than not end up on a defenders head after your own player has been battered off the ball, the passes often go to the wrong player, and this isn't because i and others are bad players, it's all due to the flaws in the game and not down to "The Ingame Realism' that seems to be the current catch phrase.
=================================

= I play a few very experienced guys on Direct IP in WC config and we have all come to the same conclusions that i have previously posted in this thread.

-- What i am trying to point out is the fact that teams with a say average Attributes tally of about 4-5, should never ever play to the standard of a team with Attributes of say 8-10, altho' this does happen in this game, which proves to me and others that the code in this game isn't what it should be, it's a sham in other words, can you tell me and other interested partys
how and why a lesser team can perform say to a standard of 20 to 30% increase in the stated and coded attributes and end up almost running a better team off the park. When the logical conclusion states that it just isn't possible. Does this game suddenly decide to toss out all the so called 'true' variables in regard to any given team or players and then decide to run riot during the match.
===================
i am not saying that the lower teams should get hammered every time that you play them, but also the lesser teams should never ever gain a 60 to 70% gameplay advantage if those stats and attributes are 100% correct ..

= In fact if the attributes are true, many of the players in the lower teams should be almost dead at half time due to any fitness or fatigue factors that come into the debate. ==
===========================================
Finally you hammer me about the teams not performing if you use sub standard reserves or have key players out injured.

Mate if the code in this game is 100% acurate, any downgrading of team players should have a huge impact on the gameplay. I know that it does in a couple of the 'other' football games that some of us play from time to time. --

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

Good thinking but i´m spanish and i tell u boy that big teams like barca, real madrid or any other from the top of the chart, have a tremendous difficulty in beating teams from the bottom of the chart.

It does get harder because AI cracks your tactic and the computer positions players to counter your formation, change your formation if you want to continue your success.

I prefere a 4-4-2 defensive, then when cracked switch to a 4-4-2 attacking, then when thats done, change to a 4-1-2-1-2. Minor changes, if you change from a 4-4-2 to a 3-6-1 you are going to hit a brick wall as you are not used to playing with it.

Simple really.
