I think delay has been coded into the game, just another form of control by EA and a way to manipulate the game to create their own special brand of drama and to stop people progressing to quick. This, along with "cough SCR cough IPT cough ING" keeps us all in our place, filling their coffers.
I've had games this year prob like us all where the game is working perfectly as it should until you go 2 up then it all turns to crap. Generally when your near promotion just to kick you in the teeth.
They'll never admit it though. I'd like to know if there is any actual EA devs that has anything to do with this game on the forum that would be brave enough to comment
