@RR3SeanR: You're right, but I think where FM/EA are making their money is they have mastered the skill of letting everyone win while still maintaining an element of challenge. Nobody will play the game if they didn't have a hope of winning, but if winning was a no-brainer, people would leave too. That's why their algorithm to manage the opponent level is so important to their success. The nerds like us who think we can game the system are probably less than 5% of their market, so for them it's s small price to pay for success -- the vast majority have the enthralling fun of having to work hard to win. :)
