This picture has been posted online in a German website. This was the Scripting System EA used in FIFA 09 but claims to have removed it but we all know EA is lying. Perhaps EA has changed it by now but I am going to explain how the system above works.

 

On the top you see the time divided in sets of 15 minutes and to the left, you see the difference in score. Between those two, you see the so called 'Momentum'. Lets take look at the picture now.

 

- As you can see to the left, the 'Momentum' is at 0 when the match starts. This means that the 'Momentum' is even so nobody is in advantage at the moment. The better player then scores a goal on the 6' minute. Now you are 0-1 behind and he is 1-0 ahead. Now the score difference is 1. Now look under 'ScoreDiff' and move your eyes from 0 to 1. For you, your score difference is -1 because you are 0-1 behind. Now look to the next column under 'Time 15' and you now see that your 'Momentum' has increased from 0 to 1. Do the same with your opponent but now, don't look at -1, now look at 1 under 'ScoreDiff' because he is 1-0 ahead. As you can see, hes 'Momentum' also increases from 0 to 1 so eventhough he scored a goal, the game is still even and EA is not interfering yet.

 

- Your opponent scores another goal in the 10' minute. Now you can see under the column 'Time 15' that hes 'Momentum' is on 2 and yours is now on -1. There is now 3 points difference of 'Momentum' in your disadvantage. If you look carefully, the 'Momentum' will stay in his advantage until the 60' minute unless you score a goal. If the score still remains 0-2 from the 60' minute, you can see that the 'Momentum' is now in your advantage. You now have a 'Momentum' of 1 and he has a 'Momentum' of 0. This now means that the tables will turn. Because he has a 'Momentum' of 0, he's players will react normal and won't make any faults. Your 'Momentum' is now on 1 so your players will be faster, stronger and more accurate than he's.

 

* If your 'Momentum' is in the minus (-), your players are slower, weaker and make many faults.

* If your 'Momentum' is on 0, your players will react normal how they should do and you should have more control of your gameplay.

* If your 'Momentum' is in the plus, your players are faster, stronger and more accurate.

 

Depending on the score and time, sometimes you can be in the minus while your opponent can be in the plus. When this happens, your opponent will mostly out-play you with he's eyes closed because the difference in 'Momentum' is then to big. Your players are slower etc. while he's players are faster etc.

 

Note: If you really want to know if EA helped your opponent to win, after you lost, simply select he's HUB and check he's w-d-l ratio. If he's ratio

          is as expected terrible, f.e 500-200-400, then yes people, EA helped your opponent win the match. This also depends on your own w-d-l                 ratio. If yours is really good but you lost to someone who has a terrible ratio, EA HELPED HIM!
