Help How good is the match engine?

[SaintPaul]

Hi, I'm an FM Touch player, trying to get back into FMM 

Just wondering if the match engine accurately takes player's stats into account etc? I. I'm struggling to tell, without a 3d match 

 

I tested out wingers, and couldn't see any difference between one with a rating of 15 in pace, and another who's rating was 8

For me who used to play the PC version its pretty good. Well I don’t know about pace because the 2D match looks like marbles hitting each other, but other stats do reflect to the game just take a look at the players’ stats during the match thats where you can see whether the player’s stats really reflect to the game or not.

Thanks I'll have another look 

I just assumed that you'd see slower or faster movements on the 2d pitch, in relation to pace 

The player with lower stats played a full 90 minutes, in a friendly against a team 3 divisions higher, and couldn't see any deterioration in his performance, or compared to other wingers that I measured him against

Your tactics will affect this. If you play a system where you dominate possesion, or your opponent sits back and doesn't leave space in behind, opportunities to use high pace will be limited.

I know what you mean, but the match I kept an eye on the older winger, was a friendly, in which the opponents were 3 divisions higher. He played the full 90 minutes, and showed absolutely no fatigue. That wasn't the first friendly either
