Team performing bad

You're right it's very unrealistic. IRL no underdogs ever win and teams with the best players regularly go undefeated...

Underdog victories can and must happen. However, I think people are right to have genuine grievances with the match simulator due to lack of individual instructions (In development believe?) coupled with the fact that irrespective of your and your opponents tactics (either positions or instructions) really don't seem to matter at the end of the day so long as a team is rated greater ± a factor of random luck/home advantage/energy etc.

Even if tactics do matter, its hard to see this translate into anything meaningful the way games are presented in the match viewer. Currently I don't think there is any value to be gained (other than entertainment) from watching your games.

The same isn’t said as a difference better 70 and 80
No, a gap of 10-15 isn’t really that much after 60-65. Even a team of 70s isn’t abnormal to beat a team of 90s. Just wait until you find a team that you have a 10+ advantage over that consistently beats you home and away. It’s annoying, but if you understand the game on a deeper level than simply “my numbers are bigger than his” then you will see why. It happens, get used to it and don’t make such a fuss about a 60/40 game.
You crack me up, pulling numbers (more like personal opinions) out of your ass smiley
His Keeper is 76:
78/81/81/81
My Keeper 89:

Close to 20% difference

My FW:

98TA /95SP/76ACC

Also My DR that played against his FR that scored:

his FR (the one that scored):
87Finishing /81BC/70SP/74 ACC

Already showed previously that mid is already irrelevant...
So now we can see that in fact this game engine is completely shit, and all tactics is a distraction, not a way to improve win changes, hence this is not a virtual manager game but a trading and gambling on youth game...

5 Shots 11
2 Shots on target 5
55% Ball possession 45%

And you’ve forgotten about the roughly 15% boost that home field accounts for. So in reality your advantage is minimal at best in that game specifically. Yet you treat it like you are supposed to curb stomp them like children.

You seem to have a serious misunderstanding of how the game works and I’d recommend you go study the noob bible and the older posts on the forums before getting so butthurt about a game like this. And I was probably generous on the 60/40 where you’d have a 40% chance to win.

TLDR: just eat your humble pie and accept that your team lost to a worse team.
