The problem is the match engine cannot comprend what an illegal formation is and penalise the team appropriately when one is selected. It cannot handle it when a team goes down to 8 men and leaves gaping holes in the formation due to no manager or substitute instructions so it counteracts by turning the DRs and DLs into supermen. When you defensive gets skinned by the DC who plays a blinding cross behind the defence to the DR makes you wonder why we do not see Terry running down the wings more often.

The match engine is to be blamed it is not complex enough to manage all the variables and will give out a result based on many hard encoded factors. What happens in the game will have little or no effect or what the predetermined calculation will be. There may be a little randomness to the calculation but not much. I do little on tactics and normally just change the team because of injuries the enjoyment for me is the trading and developing of players. The gaming side has no interest to me at all because i have little control over that.
well said! people are making this game more complicated than it actually is, and Norduus is laughing all the way to the bank. the t11 fanboys are quite disillusioned when you point out the cracks in this games armor, so watch out for trolls!
