    Have they brought in the intensity thing where if you are way ahead the intensity is dropped to reduce the scores?

    Just wondering as I was way ahead of Parrish 39-0 and half time and in second half it has gone to 49-19? seems bit odd that all of a sudden they'd start hammering me when I dominated the match up to about 60mins.

    Don't know, but similar happening to me against the Death Squad. 37-0 up with 10 remaining and they scored a couple. Could easily be a coincidence though.

    Sounds bit like too much of a coincidence to me as i scored half as many points in second half as i did in first.

    yup, did some digging on the changes since season 12 started and got this:

    2. We will be trailing a small core change to make the Match Engine more realistic. This will mainly affect unrealistic score lines in lop-sided games.
    3. The current changes which were on trial for friendlies only, (with the exception of the weight modifiers as mentioned above) which were supposed to be released to competitive matches for season 12.5; will remain in the trial until season 13 when they will be released to competitive.

    So yes, they are trying to reduce big score it seems. again putting in changes that have little or no impact on the game.

    While it has little or no impact on the result. It makes the game more realistic. It might also have a positive effect on the boards league where we still have some unbalanced leagues, noone like 100-0 losses. I also hope that it if put into the league that it will save energy if your well ahead.

    If brought into leagues could have big impacts on some teams. Couple of seasons ago it went to points difference between me an Orizio for relegation in a season where we both had big losses.

    Yeah I know it will have an impact, but I would just MUCH rather time was put into coding this ME2 than these small changes.

    These are the type of changes I would call polishing when the game is 90% certain/unchanging/finalised.

    Just there is this impending big changes down the line it seems (tho seems a LONG way off since seems no closer than when first muted) and I would prefer the big changes to come and then polish. like a whole new match engine, could change how a lot of teams design their squad.

    Sorry for ranting about this in a few places now. just seems the priorities are wrong.

    Agreed

    We'll all be in wheelchairs for ME2 at this rate

    Well that was unpleasant. Pretty much went with 100% PnG (well, think it was more 70% PnG, 20% Drive, 10% expansive) and got a pounding. Also Filled my backline with forwards, apart from the wings. Silly silly silly. At least I know that old trick no longer works.

    deffo think theres something changed to make matches tighter...wonder how it'd effect for bonus points (4+ tries & within 7)???

    There is! Its in effect in friendlies! It only effects big scorelines though I think.

    It's ok Zagato, AJ is a little behind, they have been released for all matches in Season 13!

    See here for the description.. ie the score line modifiers.

    and then this in the news feed also on BR for season 13:
    The season 13 changes have been made. For a recap, click More

    For everyone
    1) Match Engine trial changes released for all matches.
    2) Weight modifiers added to training.
    3) Stadium Staff Management removed.

    So you can blame the match engine... if you want, but I would get training defense as if a bot can score two... what will a human do!:D

    After being 20-10 down and then 27-15 down managed to come back to 27 all and almost snatch it at the death. Kicker shad an awful day for both sides only getting one of five. He dominated me in turnovers won but i had him in line outs and scrums against the head so a real even game. Im not going to be challenging d2 sides anytime soon soon but if keep progressing I may just have a chance vs d3 in the promotion playoff come the end of the year

    How can one predict the actions conjured up by the female mind. She might psyche psyche triple psyche reverse you and you'd be like "that's not what I'd do!" and get a quadruple psyching!

    I'm afraid.

    Think you hit nail on the head there, despite a 3 or 4 star advantage and serious advantage upfront I seem to have snuck a win. quite the top up after a good training session to come in and see more good stuff!:D 100% still, delighted!

    but then both teams go as a loss? table wont really add up then? I have mailed them and requested them to accept and also if they play on monday since its the two managers i'll accept.

    if not I'll put them as losses and have an odd looking table with more losses than wins! :eek:
