De admins van footstar posten regelmatig wat op het global forum. Deze post is wel van belang.

I haven't had the time to read all the comments, something that hopefully I'll be able to do very soon. Some reactions though
1. Gk ratings aren't directly affect by goals. You guys can call it unrealistic: I'd answer: maybe, but that's how things will remain for now. At the moment goals are 100% merit from the player that shots, so why penalize GK when they just allowed the goal because they haven't skill enough? By using this line of thought, then all players with low skills would have ratings like 0,1,2 etc. Rating will reflect the individual performance of a player and will never be affected by the result of game. In this kind of the game it does make in sense at all.
2. Lots of goals: yes, there seems to be more goals now. This is due to the fact that players in a goal position are more smart now: they just don't go against the GKs like before. Therefore forwards with better shooting & technique will be rewarded more often against low skills GKs. Besides if teams are unbalanced goals should appear naturally. Balanced teams will have balanced matches/results. This is common sense I guess.
Now I have been noticing that these unbalanced results happen mostly when defenders try to dribble on the defense. There's now an individual order to avoid this.. if you guys don't want to have your teams to suffer crazy goals, just tell your defenders to do not dribble (if they have low dribbling skill).
3. More goal than passes: this will only happen in very unbalanced matches. Anyway matches here in FS only represents like a quarter of what a normal match would have. In a normal match (a full simulation of a 90' match >> like in FM for example) a midfielder or a defender can make around 50 passes at most. Here you'll see 20 at max (in a balanced match). Something we need to improve but we have to make some optimizations in the ME first (more plays, more resources, more time to simulate matches).
