3rd and final run through, no trophies this time - runners up on goal difference in EPL and beaten in FA Cup final 3-1 by Man City. Knocked out of CL by Bayern 3-1 on aggregate in quarters.
Again Salah missed 2 months of the season injured so maybe a little unlucky but it's not like he's the only player who picks up an injury throughout the three test seasons.
2nd run through with Liverpool, won ECL but far worse performance in the EPL which is evident from the data hub stats. Interestingly Salah missed 4 months of the season injured which may well explain the poor EPL performance!
Same test as Lampochka97 with Liverpool, on holiday for whole season, still won EPL and both domestic cups, narrowly lost to Bayern in ECL Semi Finals.
Tried the test with Newcastle but got sacked before Xmas with 15 points from 16 games
cptdoggo said: I've been playing this game for years and I have to disagree. This year is actually pretty good I'd say. Finally it feels a little challenging and yeah, crossing is a little OP but the game overall feels so much more realistic and pleasant to look at. Expand
I have to disagree I'm afraid and I've also been playing this game all the way back to the original Championship Manager games of the early 90's.
Almost every iteration of FM is the same in that despite having better players, better tactics, many more shots on target etc. you will always find the oppositions goalkeepers will play sensationally against you, you'll hit the woodwork 3 or 4 times a game, many goals disallowed etc. I think it's the match engines way of "rubber banding" i.e. stopping you from winning 15-0 every game. How many times do you find yourself 3 or 4 up at half time and go on to win by the same / less margin? I'm not saying winning 15-0 every game is the answer as that wouldn't be remotely fun but I think it shows that the match engine is a million miles away from reality.
Case in point I've just beaten Man City 6-0 away in the league then lost 3-0 away to West Ham (West Ham had lost every league game so far this season and lost their carabao cup game before soundly beating me)
FM22 so far just feels like every result is wildly random
