Hi everyone,
This is getting serious.
How can you take carrots like that all the time?
This season is a disaster, how can the creators of this game let this continue?
Is the aim to be AFK? To take a point or win without any stats?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry!
All I know is that if it goes on like this, soon there won't be anyone left on this game!

We're clearly favouring AFKs, when you see the penalty you take for a simple change...
The problem is that carrots should be "exceptional" and they are commonplace.
It just doesn't make sense: isn't Aymeric's aim to get people to spend time and money in the store? The MDM favours those who spend as little time as possible on the game, are AFK during their matches... and are therefore unlikely to consume from the store.
At this rate, in a few seasons, a lot of people will stop. They'll either stop following the games, stop buying from the store or stop playing altogether.

Well, it's been a while...

You forgot to post about your league game yesterday, that was a nice carrot you gave him too 🤔

Malus for Belgians 😂😘

It's all right, you're 2nd in the league... there are worse things xD

After that, you have to relax, you take carrots but you also put them in...
If you only look at the stats, then you don't play the games any more and you work out the standings straight away.
You have to accept the uncertainty.

Look at that, that's a nice carrot ▶️ #match?mid=6612713
But as I say, that's the game, it happens. And with a bit of lubricant, everything passes, you'll see... 🎺

who will get the golden carrot ,????

The problem isn't whether to use carrots or not. The problem is that there are more carrots than logical results... and that's not normal. Carrots should remain the exception

Good luck Adrien ...
99% of the mdm pros will come down on you even if 99% never play in the competition and only play 50 friendlies a season....
It's a losing battle even if I agree with you 100%.

the creator stopped improving a long time ago; as for his henchmen, they're too addicted to trying to go in the right direction ... I play in my field against teams that are 10 years old on this site ... and that are in D4 ...evolutions of the players is a heresy especially if you are like my team ... and that I will not put any money in a game where the majority cheated in the past .. the hardest is to unplug because one dreams with the player that one will succeed with the row of star (not for me) lol

Blago is mean.

🤣😘❤️

I don't agree that an AFK can't get a result. If he has prepared his match, it's possible. Although without a scheduled change it seems more difficult to me.

In this case, in your match, he connected ... because he changed his entire defence. Your attack dropped to 190 and his defence went back up to 350. He had a 1 in 3 chance of a draw... you haven't lost yet, which isn't bad, but an IE match is always difficult.

Look at this match in my league today, defensive block, no strikers and they snatched victory. While the other team were favourites and made their changes ... those who take the initiative should be rewarded more and that's why I understand your frustration. The substitutes should have more impact on the game. That's the magic of football!

#match?mid=6598565&stats&min=80

It's still sad 😒

Look on the bright side.... beautiful carrots make great stews!

The problem is that the game isn't perfect, but it's still fun.
There have always been posts complaining about mdm for as long as the game has existed, and it's never going to change, so why bother complaining about it?
Take advantage of what's great about the game, enjoy your victories and blame your friends for their defeats, challenge yourself to improve your team, improve and refine your tactical knowledge. These are the only things you can influence, and there's plenty of fun to be had.

What evidence do you have to support your complaints?
(No offence intended.)

Well, it's been a long time...

How many matches did you base your observations on?

Just before you, an anti-MDM has just drawn a parallel with IRL... Just goes to show, it's not just a spin reserved for the "bad guys".

In short, what do you expect from a game whose system is entirely mathematical?

At last, an interesting and relevant argument!
Thanks Skyz.

Indeed, if there were a correlation between the dangerousness of chances (xG) and the distribution of statistics in the nine areas of the game, certain results would occur less often.

For all that, would the frustrations disappear or would another form appear, such as: "We have no ch

Skyz sums up the MDM situation perfectly.
Increasing the XG would make it possible to increase the second-hand/goal conversion. And thus limit the carrot phenomenon.
I think the frustration is great for someone who takes a "carrot" when you have followed the match for 1h30 (or even less) while someone from AFK indirectly accepts not winning his match, or not having put all the chances on his side.

It's true that chances capped at 0.26/0.27xG when sometimes nothing happens in a match for 30 minutes... That's hardly punishing!

Especially when there are openings in one or more areas.

What's more, with the drastic reduction in the number of points per player (end of 99NG), in a few seasons we'll "only" have matches with almost equivalent statistics. Which promises increasingly boring matches!

Just to defend my colleague. Don't forget that his feelings are those of a manager with 6 months in the game.

We've got the necessary hindsight now, but for a 'real' new club I can understand that it's infuriating, especially when you analyse his season with xg and xga. He clearly lacks success. The clock is ticking on Adri!

#match?mid=6673053&score
magnificent 🤣🤣

Y’all be crying like babies

Look at the season Manchester United has had this season especially at the beginning. Loosing to a division 3 team and being 17th on the table but still they were loosing games. It’s quite realistic if you ask me. You are the manager switch up, monitor affinity endurance and other things. And you’ll notice what works stick to it Have a routine. It’s a simple test as a manager you won’t always win but if you build a great system, you can get a team as good as Manchester city who have lost a few games also ….

You really have to stop comparing a game to reality. There are so many parameters that don't come into play in one, unlike the other. So, anyway.

#match?mid=6603721

I was robbed in this match! The guy in front was AFK, I sanded him for 70 minutes in the middle with a superior midfield and attack!
In defence, my 3 sectors were superior!
Result: he has more XG than me!

You have to exploit a loophole!

Reflection of the little green man :

"Damn ! Deck and Steril... they're not going to make it through the winter !!! "

That's not nice 😅😅😅😅

The MdM is quite a story. I'm one of the opponents of this programme. Over a full season, you'll see that your xG will be close to the number of goals you score and your xGa will be close to the number of goals you concede. That works. On the other hand, between day 1 and day 49, it's a real mess^^.
Your 4 or 5 1-0 defeats are going to be "compensated" by a great 7-0 win against an AFK 600 pts below you. Great! A win at last. You play again the next day, you come out with a nice 0-0 with 17 chances. You're going to have seasons where everything goes well and others where you end up with a -8 difference in the corrected standings. That happened to me recently (or not far off) .... And 49 days is a long time! In short, it's a programme that can hold its own over the long term, but you can't stop at the details of a match (it's a load of rubbish).
After that, it has to be said that this MdM makes a certain amount of sense, given that the big clubs are at the finish line of the big competitions, but personally I'm bored with it.
On the plus side, he was kind enough to let me have the LDC for a season! Yippee!

Two friendly matches, yesterday and today, two times rolled in flour, I'll skip the next matches until the championship, if we choose easy matches, it should say what it means "EASY"!

@ Drosko
Good evening,
for your information, a season is no longer 49, but 56 days ;)
Flemme is sourcing links from the News section, but roughly speaking from the game's history.
1 season =
From 42 to 49 days with the appearance of the Champions League (before the VFian elite gathered in the VF Masters)
And from 49 to 56, with the appearance of the federations.

@ ADRIEN-39 and those who feel aggrieved

Good evening,
The problem with the (recurring) criticism of the mdm is the sample of examples taken ...
If you only take your matches ... first of all, you have to take into account the confirmation bias: you're only going to take the frustrating matches you've lost, which will confirm your "thesis", and (unintentionally) put aside the matches you've won, which would invalidate your "thesis". The same goes for those who think there will be a rebalancing over the season.
And I'd even go so far as to say that if a club were to come along and show that it had suffered a season with 56 carrots in the season, that would just make it the unluckiest club in the VF. The sample of matches analysed would be irrelevant in terms of the total number of matches in the game.

Aymeric45 set up an Open Data Programme a while ago: #forum?topic=145497
To enable analysis and argument based on a representative and relevant sample, without which the conclusion can only be inaudible in the eyes of the MDJ.
#matchs?export
There are currently 300,000 matches played during the season.

@ leguman: you're right, it's 56 days...I had a doubt when I wrote it. Basically, it doesn't change my reasoning^^

or simply your tactics

For example: #match?mid=6674577
What else do we need to do tactically?
Take out the A team to get +600 and hope to score a goal?
For those who are disgusted, take a step back.... It's the same for everyone.

The stats are there, everything's OK... it's in line with reality, it's perfect^^
