Thanks for your comments.
The reason why Leicester won the Premier League in 2016 was because they were the best team in the league, and living in England I remember their title winning season very well. It wasn't a case of Leicester being gifted the title by an unseen force behind the scenes manipulating the outcome.
The fact remains that the Continental Cup competitions are not worth taking seriously and the message boards are bearing that out. Its not just me, others have also mentioned it too.
At some point the developer has to stand back and review the quality of the match calculations in continental cup competitions on a whole and ask himself honestly.
'Are the current match results being generated an acceptable product for paying customers who have spend untold hours building their squads? Are they fair? Are my customers happy with them?'
Currently the answer to those questions, whether they choose to accept it or not, is:
'No, they are absolutely not acceptable or fair. They are beyond awful. Customers are not happy'
The core aim of any football management game is to produce a game engine to generate realistic, consistent and fair match results equally to all of its customers.
If that is currently not being achieved then an immediate examination should be made to ensure no bugs have crept into the game engine, and to check that any configuration connected to Continental cup competitions is set appropriately to provide a fair system that incentivises and rewards managers who field the strongest team.
That is a fair and reasonable expectation.
I don't mind if the developers silently fix the problem and don't announce it. My only concern is that the issue gets fixed, that is the only update I want.
