Why is FM 14 so scripted

It happens. Bad days happen. Barcelona - Granada, for example, 29 - 5 in shots but 0 - 1 in goals. GK was awesome, even though he is not generally considered world class. And all the factors that contribute to such bad (or good) day, can never be fully understood, at least in real life. As such, bad day may be a coincidence or result of previous actions. I like to think that FM is similar - even if you play the same day over and over again, you can only change some factors in the last minute, while others are predetermined by your actions before the game got saved and you can't really do anything about it. Morale, form, team spirit, underrating the opponent, relationships, determination for the game, hidden attributes - I can see, how such things could shape up the game in a way it seems scripted.

Anyhow, the best thing to do is to carry on. Life isn't always fair, but then again, it's full of surprises. Sometimes you lose against completely rubbish team, next week you'll win against giants. Or not. Just live with it - maybe you're having "Liverpool syndrome" and won't be able to win anything for years, or you have "Manchester United syndrome", losing against shitty teams all year long. At least that's I like to believe when the game is not running according to my plans. Good luck!
