Hello, here's a little topic to find people who can explain my victories and defeats because I've been playing since 2011 and I understand absolutely nothing, not just the defeats. It's not a question of results. How did the game get to this point of total randomness? To keep the new players? Is that the point?

Hello.

We've been reading the lament about mdm on VF for a few days now... I'm going to give you two things to think about.

• #forum?topic=170386 read this subject, which is interesting. Not to whine at the end, but to try and understand a little of what's being said.
• Take a look at the ranking of D1 agreements. The Roman Legion is first with 261 points. Look at the clubs that have played 9 games or more in this agreement. They are systematically in the top 3 of their D1 championship. I don't think that's pure chance.

So yes, there are games that slip through our fingers. Yes, there's a random element in all the results, and that's normal because the model on which this game is developed is a probabilistic model. But no, it's not all random. On the whole, you win more games than you have to than you lose. And overall, the big clubs finish on the podium in the d1 championships. The big clubs finish ahead in the IE leagues. And if you're really losing all your games, even friendlies against clubs that have been inactive for 6 months, then you need to look at what's wrong with your tactics, because the problem isn't the mdm in this case.

So I don't agree with you on everything. I don't understand the match engine at all. I've read what you're talking about and it just confirms what I think. The mdm is bug very very often. Very, very often I have update bugs, for example 5 minutes without it moving (the stats), which proves a certain malfunction. Then the tactical aspect doesn't work at all clearly the ng plays a huge role on the other hand. As a 7-month-old club who have 91 de ng, I'm also wondering a lot. I understand that Aymeric earns money on his game, it's deserved, he's created a top game. But we need to find something to make it fun again during our matches because it's catastrophic what's happening from my point of view. I don't care if we win or lose, just a bit of consistency and a return to tactics would be great.

I quite agree.
If we lose, it's because we made some bad choices, I think.
The vf greats are always at the top.....

I don't even know how to argue about it any more, but it's obvious all the same. I've got the impression that the game is really only broken in terms of the match engine. Or else explain some logic to me here or privately to get coherent results. I'd really like it if it was just me who didn't understand anything. I'd like to say that the game is "still alive" but I have serious doubts.

Personally, I ended up giving up. VF became too random and boring to follow 1h30

Hi
I've always played this way, adapting my tactics on match day.
My players have almost 100% affinity (by line of course).
I'm not saying I'm a crack at VF, far from it. But from one day to the next, nothing makes sense, I play against clubs with no defence or no midfield, it's the same thing, I lose the match without scoring a goal. My players are far from bad (in NG).
I even remember embarrassing some of the game's big names, but it's been a few seasons since all that was finished, and even the inactive ones are getting to you now.
My opinion is this: Pay To win.
Last year and this year seem very beneficial for the MDJ 💶(and better for him, he had to invest in the game and the fallout is therefore normal and deserved). But with all the VIP purchases, I wouldn't be surprised if nothing changed, as long as it went into the cash register. All the curves and statistics you've shown us don't demonstrate anything at all.
So yes, the game has changed and my tactics have nothing to do with it.
On that note, I'm bowing out of the Championships.
Friendlies and IE from now on (maybe IS too but I don't even feel like it any more).
Good luck to you all 👋

In fact, you just need to have a max ng and only put impact on one part and that's it, I won the vffa challenge like that lol but it's shit and it's anything but normal. I didn't touch a single news item to win this competition, I was hallucinating 🤣

Coco is just too strong Mick, look no further!

After that, it wasn't a complicated game to manage either, just no chances on either side, nothing but total boredom lol.

It's an ephad I've got, they're not expensive, my players
It's the NHS that pays 😝

After all, if it's bad choices that are doing this, then I'm really shit at it, which is possible, but it still makes me sad. Because I'm trying to understand, adapt, change, etc.

In any case, I don't understand anything about maths and I've understood that you have to calculate probabilities, make Excel tables, etc. to get very regular results.

I don't make any tables, I'm not a VF pro, but I've had good tutors after each VF change.

• Ronan with the Senior Coaches when I started in 2008 (I think)
• Beber with the Circles a few years ago
• Jérémy our treasurer

An Excel spreadsheet won't give you a string of victories on VF.

The only regular result you get is your wife laughing at you when you tell her that your Excel spreadsheet is for a football game.

Fishing is better. Lol
