How do you play this game?

[Eugen Cristea]

Was that meant directly to me or the forum public? Because my post didn't offer my opinion about whether formation/tactics matter. Was merely pointing out that this topic is repeatedly brought up again and again in new threads.

In general. Not to you.
I vent/whine sometimes.

But lately it's alli see.

I do feel there is lack of organisation to some parts of the Forum, the General area and more in need of it, the Tactics, but I think people find the search function on here lacking, and so post anew. I would be interested to hear ideas on how to make it better, but too many stickied posts happens, and then it becomes hard to see the other posts.

I think everyone has some ideas on what they think works in the game, and discussion of that is an important function of this Forum.

I didn't answer on this thread before, mostly cos I play the game as if the numbers, tactics and modules have some reference to performance and I have had some success, but I like seeing others thoughts on the subject.

(and geez I am good at run-on sentences )

i run on sentences for fun, they taste good with chocolate, no shame in it

agreed kevin
seriously if i were a staff here id go on a sticky/close thread rampage, dump stickied thread URL in message and say 'please use the search function' (if its a language i cant speak], ill say i used google translated that up front)

IMHO this would be sticked, or at least added up in the list since i consider this an opinion discussion (?) on not how to play the game, but how the game works. sure there are lots of threads already and i feel the game hasnt updated much, but yeah this is the most recent thread, no other reason. this thread might even reach 1K replies as well. as always, rules for discussions apply

not too sure about that 5-8% though. but if you meant;
5 minus 8, which often times programs negate the negative and flip into a 300%
5 to the 8th power (5^8) ~ 39M%
or simply 58% itd be more accurate ;P

just putting it in here, im trying to debunk some of the trolled result (NOT saying trolled results dont exist) into an acceptable defeat

I will say something honestly now-

Sometimes i feel that formations and orders matter. U beat stronger teams by countering them. And when u make a change u can see the stats change. Arrows too i feel matter somehow. When i used to lose be4, i used to put all my players on red arrows. And that used to show a sudden drop in possession...... So these things kinda show that these things work.
But, if these things work, why do these "troll" results against so weak teams happen???? Why can a team 3* below u beat u when u have countered their formation, while on the other hand, in the next match u can beat a team 1* above u without doing simply anything??? Where does the formations and orders go then??? Or do they never make a difference and the game is programmed in a such a way to externally show us that the changes have changed something, while internally in the ingame, all is the same???
I guess we will never know till Nordeus open their mouths And they will only open it to scream on doomsday..... So all this discussion is in vain

you had to bring the arrows into this didnt you? that is the 1 thing ill attack from the start!!!
whoever said arrows advance/devance your players is a genious. i tested it out many times, and even slammed this on the indo subboard (?) with many other players agreeing with me

a red arrow will advance your player by 1 space
a blue will devance
the GK spot is unavailable

why i say this is because its true. i call it unique, but way too unfinished AND seriously needs to be reworked. if you dont believe my (and i know othersll agree with me too) statements feel free to try it out yourselves

now we all know what a blue does to a backline, they become a sort of makeshift CF (scoring/assisting goals on counters and stuff). if you pay attention to the commentary theyll usually be up and running on an attacking move. we all know CDMs barely go forward and they like to shoot from long range (if youre name is ramos you should see a counselor, somethings up with you dude). try giving a CM a blue arrow and youll see them shooting from afar a lot
lets walk down the dark side (red arrows) of the force. a red on a CF WILL make him a makeshift CB at times. try it out and youll see him make goal line clearances. give the SAMs red arrows and theyll become makeshift SB, they rarely participate in attacks anymore

/rant

hahaha, arrows, 1 of the many things that tick me off
