Season 32, Week 12
I drew 1-1 against #3, despite much better stats and all... Well, your usual result.
Cheater-bot about to promote, and me closer to quitting this joke of a game. [/rant]

Well, what is there to say... usually I'm not supportive for managers complaining about the HT-random and the "why did I lose" postings... but in your case krys I have to make an exception, and I can totally understand your frustration, especially since the cheater will be the one promoting.
You've been screwed non-stop by the engine lately, and for example your latest match looks good rating-wise and with regard to the followed tactic, but still you end up with a draw. In 4 of the last 6 matches you've obtained a result that probably had a 10% or so likelyhood of occuring which ends up costing you the season. That indeed is not a good gaming experience at all.

While not as dominant as some of your terrible results, I have to agree with Kemal that the engine seems to be holding you down. On the bright side you are easily the #2 team and with a lucky demotion you should dominate next season, but it really hurts this season. The extra time in a lower division will also help you avoid relegating immediately, but I don't think that's much consolation.

Nah, I really don't need an extra season in Division VIII (really weak division in France), it's already my 3rd one there. Last season I could have my chance, I even had one lucky result against #1, but the logic was respected (he could promote to D.VI now !!). This season I was the uncontested best team on paper. So sz_matyas's argument could have been used for this season ; what assures me of winning next season ? And if I want to totally trash the opposition, I could use the money I'm keeping now plus the money I'll soon get from my winger trainees to build me a super-team... But I'll end up paying huge wages and only get D.VIII attendance fees. A waste it is.
And Kemal, I'm keeping my rational mind : it's just I'm at the extreme part of the Gaussian curve this season, it HAS to happen to someone sometimes. I understand that there must be some random in the game, and I can understand getting unlucky results. Here it's just that it keeps repeating, and the cheater-bot promoting (and NEVER defeated !) is just the cherry on the cake. Once again, I could live with that, but the fun from the gaming experience is gone. Ah, it's just a game, there are much more dramatic things in life than this...

He is probably already banned as he hasn't logged in for 5 weeks.
But the matches are still played with his old team until the end of the season. So he might promote and then become a bot.

BTW, I won away 1-0 vs the 8th team. He has a quite strong defense but nothing else, so I won even with playing my weaker midfielders.
I am currently selling two supernatural IMs as 2nd place is secure and 1st place only theoretically possible. But probably therefore my team is weaker next season, but let's wait and see. Maybe I'll buy some good winger or such.

won 6-0 with pic, got a full house and still a passable midfiled rating. And apparently i played my best match ever. Play the number 2 next week and he won't know what will hit him.
In theory I still need 2 points. And I play #2 and #3 in the last games. In practise I need only 1 point since I am 5 points ahead and up 22 in goal diference. Promotion is in the bag.

In a very exciting game, I had a 0-0 draw. Of course this is to be expected for a game WITHOUT A SINGLE SHOT
