How much does the game day preparation feature help when you predict correctly? From what I have figured out based on 2 games where I was the away team against the same team.

1st match is without any GDP
2nd match is with GDP
In the first match without GDP I lose to this team by 12 points.
In the second match with a correct outside fast prediction I win by 7 points.
A 19 point difference when the GDP feature comes into play. Is the GDP feature really this OVER POWERED or was there another reason for the 19 point difference between both games? Keep in mind that I checked my opponents transfer history and they have not sold any of their players for awhile so it doesn't look like a different roster is the reason for explaining this.

Just briefly looking at the game.... the same players didn't start in both games.

Osborne on the yetis gets 40 minutes 1 game, 2 minutes another game.

That aside. yes GDP makes that much of a difference. It's not that overpowered if you can mix up your offenses, or change the pace once in a while. Remember, its "overpowered' (Your words) both directions, positive and negative.

Its a nice way to cancel out HCA if done right too...

I think other things played a part in the difference. But the idea of this is to stop teams playing LI 99% of the time. Teams need to be built to alter how they play the game. This feature is a great addition to the game and I hope it alters how teams are built and limits the effectiveness of the LI world.

Its a lot of difference between game 1 and 2..

1) Game shape

2) Enthusiasm?

3) Players are not the same in both games. As an example, in game 2 you play with Tanay as PF (17k salary). Game 1 you use Bratelli (6k)
