5 minutes stoppage time EVERY game??

Re: 5 minutes stoppage time EVERY game??

I just played a game, Match Day Live, 1st half had 3 extra minutes added and the 2nd half had a 2 minute add on, so it might be fixed after the patch. It was only 1 game tho.

This is encouraging I shall see tonight when I get home from work if it effects my CM games. I've had 5 minutes every time. funny thing is even when it says 3 or 4 minutes at first if the ball goes out of play during stoppage time it will change to 5 on the screen. First time it happened I thought I was going crazy, then it happened a few more times. So bizarre.

That's what happened in my game. At the end of the 1st half,it said 3 minutes but after the ball went out of play they added 1 minute to make it 4 minutes so maybe it is a good sign.

Every match, every half....not funny.

If the CPU wants to score a goal in stoppage time they are sometimes unstoppable and the 5mins help them really...

My 2nd game had 3 minutes after the 1st half and 5 minutes after the 2nd so it has been varied in my 2 games.

Re: 5 minutes stoppage time EVERY game??

I was going to create a thread about this topic ... and then I noticed that I was (clearly) not the only one to notice how non-realistic this is. I am seeing +5 at the end of each half (maybe ... sometimes ... once in a long while ... I will see a +4 ... but not really).

I play 15 minutes per half ... I sometimes watch the cut scenes / sometimes I do not ... I have some matches with 6 or more combined fouls / I have some matches with only one foul per half ... the stoppage time does not seem to be correlated with *anything* that is happening during the match.

This does not seem like it would be too hard to get right ... even if you did not want to bother with solving a math problem that asked about stoppages, goals, fouls, etc ... it could just be a random-number generator with a pool of possible values (+1 / +2 / +3 / +4 / +5) ... at least then you would get some variety from match to match.

I've always assumed it was calculated the slowdown in the clock during dead ball situations.

I see +5 more often than not but I do see +2 and +3 enough to notice them and get annoyed becuase they usually come in a game when I actually need a +5 to scramble for a draw.

in our Pro-clubs, we often see +5 added when we are barely hanging on to a 1 goal lead and really really need a short +2 to get out with a vital win...

It seems like there is nothing that can be done about this. That is too bad ... it is just really lazy from a programming standpoint.

And if I give up one more goal on the final touch of the half at 45' +5' ... seriously ... this is annoying!

Not all halves of all games, but definitely more than is realistic.

Re: 5 minutes stoppage time EVERY game??

Every single game I've played for the last couple of months I've had 5 minutes of 1st half stoppage time, no matter the amount of goals, cards, fouls, injuries etc.

I recall getting a 4 min 2nd half stoppage, but 1st half is always 5'.

Re: 5 minutes stoppage time EVERY game??

I often get 5, but its not unusual for me to get 3 or 4, and have also had 2 a few times recently.

Re: 5 minutes stoppage time EVERY game??

and last night on queue...

in Pro Clubs, losing 2-0 and from the 85' to the 89' we are putting a ton of pressure on them and they are beginng to foul wildly so the clock is getting burned on cards and stoppages...

we score going into the 90' minute, skip the celebrations and skip right back to kickoff as the clock winds over full-time we are expecting +5 partly because it is kinda the norm and partly because they were fouling so bad and wasting time. nope +2, by the time they restart play and kick it backwards the first minute is pretty much done and they just boot it forward for a goal kick... our goalie kicks it upfield, whistle, game over.

the clock runs soo fast that basically +5 is really 2 minutes of action...
