Re: Why is this game giving me opponents that are impossible to beat?

@hlyi7dzg4q9f Matchmaking is based on fan count and chances are determined by OVR - based on your chance distribution you appear to have a relatively low OVR for the fan count.

Chances are also in buckets of 10, so if you take a long time on each chance compared to your opponent (11-12 chances bs the average of about 14-16 when you miss a few) you will have less chance to get additional good or great chances from that extra bucket.

There is no evening things out along the lines of what the poster above said - it is all based on fans, OVR and the random selection you get from each bucket of 10 chances.


Build your OVR, take your chances quickly, and you will begin to progress

    Affirmative. I just played a match where I had scored maybe 5 goals, and then the score of my opponent all of a sudden jumped from 0 goals to 6.

    What do you think this is though? A connection error, then a reconnect to level the current stats?

    Also, what is your take on AI bots? I understand the (bot accounts) are needed to be able to offer a decent equally ranked opponent regardless of availability of real human players currently online. They have the certain characteristics like generally not replying much with the emojis, passing continuously over the side, etc.

    I am still confused about those occasions that I wrote about where all of a sudden an opponent has a defender who runs almost inhumanely fast opposed to the vast majority. Is this just Pace-stats maxed out or what?

    @5da0e4efc5f6e705 good questions

    VSA is not directly connected to the other players gameplay, only the scores are connected, so it is possible that if either of you have a slow connection, or you are just at the opposite sides of the world, the score will jump because it has taken some time for the other players score to reach you … it can also be that the opponent is cheating, but I believe that usually manifests as the score changing at the end rather than mid game.

    You will hit AI bots at the very low levels of fans/cups because there is not the critical mass of players for you to match with at or around your fan/cup count - they tend to be base OVR cards with no ranks or training, so the opponents stats are low, and for the most part they are relatively easy to beat (because in VSA they usually don’t score more than 7 or 8, and in h2h they won’t really defend unless you sprint)

    In VSA you always play the AI representation of the opponent, so whether it is a bot account or a real player account it will have no impact on the defence that you are up against … if the gameplay is patchy, given that you are playing a game mode that does not rely on a connection, it is likely a device issue moreso than anything else. If you are using an Android device then clear your cache regularly before gameplay and it might assist. It could also just be choppy gameplay, you hit the odd game that seems like it is either sped up or slowed down, but if it’s doing it consistently then clear your cache (Android device settings) or reboot your device (Apple or Android).

    Hope that helps 👍
