Team Rating
When does your team rating increase / decrease and what affects your team rating, is it just player overalls, or does it have to do with team performances and cup runs?

Are you talking about the big number - yours is about 3,500? Lots of things go into that including club value, league position, player quality, staff quality...and other things too. Your performance history certainly has an effect. I've never won a trophy so couldn't comment on that

Like my club rating is 3 green bars, the rating you see when your on the club profile page.

That's a summarised graphical view of your club rating, it represents your overall club rating as Chyper described. It's a rating in the thousands, when you see it in the green bars it's simplified down from, say, 3,273 to 33. You can see the full number by clicking on your club ranking which will take you to the rankings leaderboard and will show your exact rating.

Once the subject cropped up regarding the club rating.

I joined this game a long time ago, however, I quit this game more than once and rejoined again. The thing that bothers me a lot is that when I play against a team superior than mine in ratings/ranking, 99.9% I always finish on the losing end.

On the contrary, when I play against a team inferior to mine I have a 50-50 chance of winning. Why is this always happen.

And also, I play with a mark 3 aggression and I always finish with 3 to 4 players yellow carded.

I don't want to contradict your experience and given it's a new season I can't see many of your recent games but I've always found my teams have beaten lower rated/ranked opponents more often than not. If there are only or two points in the matchday preview difference then yes, I'd say it's 50-50 (or in my case 90-10 in favour of the opposition).

I do however really strongly remember all those games I do lose against lower rated teams, so perhaps you share that with me


Aggression 3 seems quite low to me - however much impact that has on game results. I'd bump it up a bit and not worry about the bookings, they seem to get handed out like sweets whatever the aggression.

I think, most of the time, the referee's strictness has more influence over the number of cards you receive than the level of aggression you play.

It's a trend I noticed a long time ago when I looked at that those figures more closely. I haven't kept a close watch on it recently, so not certain if that's still the same. Plus there are always games in IAG where things turn out differently, but that's my feeling.

Maybe im wrong but i have always felt like tactics play a huge role in whether you win or not. I also feel like it helps to change these tactics based off of formation, opposition, and whether you are home or away.
