FIFA 15

Agreed but I dispute the fact that games are pre-determined from the off. But momentum is 100% in the engine which isn't a problem per se but the fact it's not explained is. You can - like you say - 'feel' it when the game switches.

Unfortunately for me I nearly always take the lead which results in me being cancered at various points in the game while EA try to help my opponent back into it. It's always amusing to go 2 or 3 nil down and then if you aren't absolutely seething, laughing at how easy the game suddenly becomes.

Yeah I agree, it's the fact that they refuse to explain what it is or why it happens but merely hint at it in really vague terms.

Similar to going a couple of goals down is getting a man sent off - it's like your players suddenly hit max level and got full epixx loot.
 
One of the older FIFA, perhaps 07, actually mentions momentum in the manual

I'm certain it's hard coded into the game but better players will still win even when their players are not at 100%

Right and going by your logic how exactly do they code to decide what team feels normal? And how do they code to decide who wins and what logic is there behind that decision? Unless you think there's a human being sat behind a desk pressing A or B to decide who wins what you describe is not possible.

Even assuming there is some kind of scripting mechanism it has to be based on logic to be coded. You can't have code arbitrarily deciding what what to do - it needs logic behind it to function.

So basically it doesn't exist in the manner you describe :p

by forcing lower chemistry or a hidden morale rating on one team and not the other, I can tell from kick off if i win or lose my team is immediately noticeably slow barely moving around feel like they are 5 fitness right from kick off

I hate to admit it, but i also notice my team playing differently and feeling sluggish often and can usually tell if im going to loose from the first 5 mins of the game..

How does the code choose which team to do that to?

It's no wonder you lose if you think you're going to lose from kick off :p.

randomly probably like each player has a randomly generated morale, is it that hard to imagine ? wasn't long ago fifa had team morale cards so it's probably still in the game and all they did was take out the cards

If you are really good like a notorious or hektic jukez then of course you can overcome it
 
Morale wasn't random though.

I wanted you to explain your thoughts so you could see how ridiculous they sound when they're typed out. Momentum certainly exists but games aren't pre-determined in the way you describe. What happens in my opinion is that if you have a lot of shots and possession and 'dominating' the game the engine tries to even it up.

Pre-determined, just no.
 
different games I play feel different....

some games feel super fast and the other team somehow can constantly charge u
others feel so slow and sluggish
some are stuttering
the occasional feels correct and how single player feels
 
For me the gameplay at times feels a lot like the rubber banding in the older Need for Speed games. You can be miles in front, dominating, but a switch will flip and your players start falling apart, making stupid errors despite you not playing any differently. The most infuriating thing for me is defending, especially when you tackle a player and the ball bounces perfectly back into their path.

that's because it only takes 5 mins to judge which one of you is better at the game.

i believe in momentum and sometimes the opponent starts off with high momentum, but i also started a game on high momentum and jovetic and welbeck tore him a new one so it works both ways, it's just that you can see it's effects better when your playing up against it.

i wish the game didn't have these hidden things and it truly came down to who is the better player. it makes you wonder why you even bother trying to get good at the game when anybody can beat you if they have momentum on their side and are average at the game as it's just so hard to play against especially if they have pacey players.

Not at all, i tried recording a game for the first 10 minutes earlier but PS4 messed it up it was honestly hilarious.

I kicked off with Costa and he felt like he was stuck in treacle wouldnt run very quick at all and felt sluggish, the kid went up the pitch and scored straight off. I kicked off again with Costa and he was a different beast, speed demon, and very agile i scored from KO. Its so obvious the players change depending on whats happening and potentially opponents teams rating/player ranking. Playing against a Rare Silver team IMO is harder than playing Ronaldo, Messi, Bale, Neymar etc.
 
Nice ellpee :)

That's a good pull at any time never mind now. Sell him off quickly as his price is sure to drop a lot before probably rising a little then settling.

Yeah have you used Benzema Stewy? I'm finding him a bit meh so far this year though only have played 7 games.
