I noticed an issue today that has nothing to do with the Offside Trap, though it likely only happens in Div. 6, where some managers vanish & their teams slowly & painfully die...

If you play a team that is already at low fitness - or becomes extremely fatigued later in the game (so that their players all show red in the stamina bar), the defenders for that team move so slowly that they are ALWAYS out of position. This ends up punishing the team that IS fit, because even when they are not trying to play a trap, the defenders are so slow they force the attackers offside anyway. Even with the forward slider pulled all the way back & careful tactics in play, offside calls skyrocket as the game goes on.

This happens even when the exhausted team's defenders are playing extremely deep - they just can't react to a change in possession quickly enough to go back when their side loses the ball. Attacking team tries any pass to a striker = offside.

I'd think it would make a lot more sense for the exhausted defenders to stay further back, rather than getting caught too far forward.

1 or 2 offside in the first half, then something like 18 more in the second, with no change in tactics by either side. All because the one team was fully exhausted (all red in the stamina bar). Ugh.

I hope I explained this well... sorry if it makes no sense.

If you're playing a bot with low stamina, decrease your effort as the game progresses. You should already be winning against the low-stamina bot. 08/01/2013 02:53

I did win, I was winning at the time, and it wasn't a bot. Just a manager who was Soon-To-Be-But-Not-Yet-A-Bot.

And yes, I could decrease my effort (which was already near 50%), but that isn't really the point: The point is that as the tired/exhausted team gets MORE tired, the advantage shifts in its favor. That should not happen. When a tired team's defenders become MORE tired, they should be less likely to force an offside attack, not more likely.

Not a huge deal though, pretty minor issue really. Just one of those oddities of the game.

you had 3 offsides in last game n 2 in previous game.

getting 8-10 per match offsides is scary.
