So, why even consider foul play?Ī recurring element in many FIFA scripting posts around the internet is a somewhat optimistic assessment of one’s own skills combined with a lack of recognition of the opponent’s abilities.Īs an example, take a look at this survey where people were asked to assess their own skill level relative to others taking the same survey. On contrary, all the phenomena I just mentioned have perfectly viable, natural explanations. This ought to be common sense.īefore we even start thinking about foul play as a possible cause, we effectively need to rule out other possibilities. So, don’t waste your time posting video evidence confirming these things as fact.īut the mere fact that these things happen doesn’t lead to the conclusion that they happen because EA is manipulating matches deliberately.

Whether it’s 90th minute equalizers, losing- and even relegation streaks, inconvenient graphics glitches and the likes, I have seen them all. Let’s be very clear about something: I do not deny that FIFA contains loads of annoyances. In the following sections, I would like to elaborate on what makes me so certain that scripting, handicapping and momentum are myths. It’s not a secret that I have been a skeptic from the start, and despite my ongoing attempts to challenge my own views, my further investigations haven’t made me change my mind. Despite the lack of evidence supporting it, the assertion that EA deliberately manipulates matches for whatever reason has become widely accepted as fact. No other topic has stirred as much controversy in the FIFA community as scripting aka handicapping aka momentum.
