"In my view if you are using 2 keepers it's also better to play the stronger keeper in the second half."
How do you reckon?
"Everyone seems to do this the other way around. "
I don't know about everyone, but I usually do. The reason for that is that, at least in some cases, it has appeared as though the game seems to operate under the impression that the stronger player is still there and fewer disasters seem to happen.
This impression I've gained through trial and simulation, although it is difficult to confirm whether it's actually true or a product of my rampant imagination and confirmation bias...
I do allow for exceptions in very specific cases, though, as I usually substitute very specific players on in specific circumstances, like penalty stoppers or penalty takers in cup matches, especially if it promises to be tight, since they will then be on the pitch when it matters... Make of that what you will...
"This is a feature of the way the game is coded, as teams will take more shots against a weak keeper."
Honestly, I don't know how the game is coded, but you could be right...
"If a player is in a position to shoot there is a calculation and if the chance of scoring is too small then he doesn't shoot. This is influenced by the Shooting setting. "
This I obviously knew about (at least in some form), although I hadn't connected it to a weaker GK.
I may have to look at some of my habits, maybe... Appreciate the time you took to point it out...
