Players Condition - NEW

[Gert Funck]

Fredi

Hi Managers,

Until Thursday, whole pitch pressing and man-to-man marking were using as much condition as own half pressing and zonal marking respectively. In our opinion, and we believe you would all agree with this, it was not logical. Thus, we decided to fix this and, from now on, whole pitch pressing and man-to-man marking use more of your players' condition.

This change makes the game more realistic but obliges you to take more decisions before and during the game, the latter especially giving a match-watching Manager an advantage over an absent one. For instance, if your team leads 3-0 at the 60th minute, which means the victory is almost secured, you should consider switching to own half pressing and/or zonal marking (of course, if these tactics were not used already) in order to rest your players and start preparing for the next game. Also, if your next opponent's team is weaker than yours, you could start the match with less tiring tactics and see how it goes before you decide to use more condition-burning ones.

All things considered, we're convinced this modification was needed and that it improves the game experience. Our intention was to bring more realism to Top Eleven and by no means to make you use more Rests!...

Be cautious when choosing your tactics!

Why should Zonal defense be less condition consuming, than Man to man marking and vice versa , that makes no sense to me?

Either way all formations and orders seems more condition consuming too me now.

And worst is the extreme condition drop during game, where a 95-100% fit player now goes into red during second half. This IMHO is a grave setback and is not the faintest more realistic. (and the in game drop is on all player, no matter arrow)

Conclusion is:

1. more in game injuries (red condition)
2. more green pack use to try keeping condition to an acceptable level.
3. Even more excessive use of red packs to keep a competitive squad

I am not impressed and talking about injuries, the risk/level before this change was unrealistic high, Now I predict it will just be unbearable

And why do we carry on injuries from last season when there realistic would be a 24 weeks season break?

(still my opinion)

you ever played football yourself? try man to man marking running with the opponent`s player all game long and tell me if that was less condition consuming than just waiting for him in your zone...

Actually I have all my life, and it is a common misunderstanding that zonal defense is just stationary.

Man to man does require more speed but that IMO is a different thing

Is it not clear to you that the aim of this change has nothing to do with realism?

Is it not clear to you that the most important bit of realism change (for players) should be in the transfer market and token allocation ?

Is it not clear to you that in the grand scheme of things non -paying T11 players are not considered relevant ?

Is it not clear to you that while a couple hundreds are complaining on this forum, millions of others in USA, Germany, Vietnam, China, Turkey, Nigeria are shelling out hard earned cash to pay for rest packs and health packs and have no idea what has happened?

Does it not annoy you ?

Don't you feel pissed that anytime you start loving a game, the makers device new ways of fleecing you?

Imagine if you had to pay for extra lives on super mario or you had to wait for 20 mins to get another try at tetris (or buy).



I am so glad I was born at a better time when the emphasis was on mental ability, tactics, reaction, skill rather than the limit of a kids credit card.

Just know your place on T11. If you dont pay, you dont matter.

So:
Option 1: Stop whining and quit or
Option 2: Stop whining and tank or
Option 3: Continue whining and warn all others or
Option 4: Come together as a collective and protest till a change for the better occurs or
Option 5: P.A.Y up

I chose Option 2. Make your own choice and stick with it.

OFF-Topic: Well if you are marking one-one-one Messi you will prob. won't lose condition to much

Indeed, usually man-on-man marking is asking for a bigger effort from the player.
