Exactly the point. The game is jsut code and the code knows exactly what the match situtation is. The code also has complete control of the physics, ball movements, player movements, player performance, etc......and it is exactly because of this that it can freely alter the roll of the ball, the perfomance of the cpu guys and your guys to "change the way the game plays half way thorugh a match".
That is the main gripe, you start out playing a match on 5*, you score, suddenly it's all change and it now on 7*. The physics has changed, your players slow down, cannot pass as accurately, lose balance, fail to move, yet the cpu guys suddenly go from playing like MK Dons to playing like Brazil.....not at all realsitic and certainly a "cheating" programmed into the game engine.
