However if there is a set formation that makes you win all the time regarless of the opposition managers' moves; that should be illegal since it is a way of cheating the match engine.

They are calling the formations illegal because the match engine can't handle those formations. So as long as the match engine could handle them I don't give rat's a ss.
It has to be more serious than that. If you dont take this game seriously (LOL), then you put an illegal formation and should lose as a result. The fact that people win often with illegal formations is ludicrous. Not only do they win with illegal formations, they play players out of position and still win. It is an issue with the game engine and the programming.

I believe you should be warned with a popup that you cannot play an illegal formation or you will lose. 20% possession is too much if they want to penalize you for doing it. Go all the way and make it a default loss, or go all the way and make every formation LEGAL. Put more thought into formations and what effect they will have on the game. Right now, it shows that they dont give a **** and are too lazy to implement it properly. As a result, we have expectations based on their rules and they are not being fulfilled because it is programmed incorrectly. If you are going to penalize a team with 20% possession, then limit their shots on net and fouls suffered as they will not have as much possession. Also, it is extremely rare for a team with 20% possession to actually win. Nuff said.
