since about FIFA 13, it hasn't been right at all - when i go 2-0 up, coming towards the 70-80 min mark - i can't pass, run or anything, they end up equalising by a really stupid goal, usualy with a help from my defenders.
This has worked both ways too, someone has been really battering me and winning 3-0, all of a sudden my players are all like messi and i score 3 goals in quick time with ease, yet the whole game was stupidly hard to this point. he never deserved to just draw.
it's gotten that bad, i can't enjoy FIFA now - everytime i win/lose or draw, i'm automaticly thinking it's momentum or "scripting" that's done the job, certainly when their is a really dodgey goal or last min goal.
am done with this. totally ruined.

It's isn't an artificial momentum (who told you that?), it's game balancing and it's overboard.... that's what EA calls it behind closed doors. You will find it in many racing games too. Ideally they want t control when you have success and failure so that everyone wins and fails.

I know that the scripting/game balancing is in there to shift more copies of the game, but still...
This counts for FIFA and NHL too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cULKosF5iVE
