Also on pro clubs. They don't want you to drop too far down (and stop playing), so you play better when you need the result. Three seasons in a row we have avoided relegation on the last game of the season, going one nil down and suddenly playing well after 60 mins.

90th minute winners to stay up should be exciting right? Not if you call it happening before the game and have to wait through the majority of the game for it to respond to what you want to do.

There is a feeling that dramatic moments, which should be exciting (part of the reason you play are those memorable results) are too predictable and hence not dramatic and not enjoyable. Late goals, quickly scoring after the opponent has and winning against 10 men are great in real games because they are unexpected and rare. When you are given such scenarios with ease, there is no enjoyment, just annoyance that you have to rely on some random mechanic to score.

FIFA feels way too much like you vs the game, rather than you vs your opponent, and so when you lose it's worse, and when you win there is no satisfaction in playing against a handicapped team.
