Question

Daniel Zozaya

How are the games decided? I would like the SM people to explain what is actually taken into account, sometimes it all feels really random

Additional Details

I just want to know how the game decides winners, Ive been playing this game for a long time (3 years) and I have seen teams win a championship, and then finish last place the next season although nothing really changed. So I want to know, what is it that the SM takes into account when deciding the outcome of a game. Is it all random? or are there specific formulas which defeat others?

    I have been playing for a similar amount of time as you.

    I reviewed the answer that the other guy gave you - a stereotypical answer......"Smfa use things that cannot be explained here"......and "Its up to you to sort out the best tactics...etc".

    I won my league last year, runner up in the cup.........and havent won 1 game since the new season started.

    I reckon, that there is a program, or something in place to ensure winning teams have a bad season the following year. Simple, if one team keeps winning then people will quit the game.

    I reckon they have to share it (success) around, to get the revenue.

    I have never seen Man Utd win a league, then lose the opening 4 games of the season. So it not, "up to you to get the best team/best tactics/ as there are definately "other" things at work here mate :(

    As stated, I don't think the results are random or there's a code written to guarantee a terrible season for a particular team. I've seen one manager win the league 3 times in a row and narrowly missing the fourth (I won, hehehe!). The game is dynamic and every manager works tirelessly to improve their team and this can actually be the deciding factor on whether your team wins the league title or gets relegated.

    Any team that wins the league endures a bad season ahead. Just choose the fitter players and pray to God

    I can assure you that nothing is random. There are many factors that SM takes into account ranging from ratings to tactics to fitness levels. Naturally, SM cannot release every factor in their algorithm as that would just make the game pointless to play. It is your job as manager to field the best team possible, in your opinion, and manage them to victory.
