If they have to program sepcific lines so thhose things can happen, I´m ok with it. While I´m playing, instead of focusing on "Oh there it is, the scripting made me miss my winning goal", I try to think "Oooh I could have won this one, but my player missed it! DRAMA!!" It kinda creates a story at the end of several matches. I remember back in the days were when I learned to play a game, it got really boring because I could dominate all the matches. Not now, and I enjoy the fact that I can´t dominate every single game, or predict the final result before each match, no matter how easy it may seem.

Do you think it's fair to say that ratings affect the players performance on default--or is it a moot point ?

I couldn't agree more. It's just something that exists. I buy the game year in and year out regardless and still love it. People try to "fix" something that just is what it is, and always has been.

I actually go back n forth between Legendary and WC. Count me as one of those who thinks there's something wrong with the difficulty levels this year.

WC is a huge leap from Pro, but I can barely tell the difference between WC and Legendary. I've actually played the same league tournament with the same team but with two different saves - one WC and one Legendary - and I finished higher up the table, scoring more goals, winning more games, conceding fewer goals, in my Legendary save!

So what makes you decide what to use and when, lol?

I know there are some that like to use LEG for away matches and WC for home...

Ha, i know. Basically when I get pissed off on one I say F this and go back to the other.

It's really weird 'cause I feel like there's some things about WC that are easier - like I *think* dribbling is easier - but my results tend to be about the same between the two. And maybe it's just placebo, but I swear there's just something that feels better about Legendary.

Seriously, no idea what's going on. Never had this issue before.

This is fantastic. Haha! Because I feel the same way. I like the challenge of the higher levels and I actually find WC and Legendary to be a fair test...in Kick off Mode!.

I don't need to get annoyed playing a video game, though. I'll stick with Pro in CM.

Back to my match with Charlton in my Fulham CM. I was down 1-0 at halftime tied it up with a PK in the 65th and the game goes into extra time. Jumped on a conference call and it lasted so long that my XBox shut down so I never finished. I restarted the game and the gameplay was completely different. In the first game Charlton controlled the entire match. More shots, more possession, and more tackles. In the restart I changed my formation from a 4-4-2 to 4-2-3-1 and totally dominated them. Scored on a PK, they went down to 10 men, and I held 54% possession. Didn't change one slider...
